American Top Team President Says All Fighters Signed Off on Video Game Deal-Source

[Black Gi]

Well if they didn't sign it seems they would have got kicked out.

So I guess they know they've got to roll with Dana's demands or hit the road.

Never mind the fact that they pay them and make stars from relatively unknown fighters that used to struggle to train because they worked day jobs as well.

Good for them then. I've always been one of those supporting Dana when he gets blatatly hated on for no reason. But he deseerved it for what happened with AKA. Hopefully things get patched up

[Kraemer]

good deal

[juijitsufan]

Well if ATT declined things might have progressed and gotten worse

Even he boss says u have to pick your battles

This may not be one but if another dispute arises ATT fighters will be kicked out

if UFC gets their way all is fine

when there are disagreements they try to strong arm

[Blast D*]

Maybe JZ snuck his signature in there, he could be a hidden character in the game!

Or maybe not even an org but just a video game company decides to make some wild fighting game, and these guys can't be part of it. The UFC doesn't need to be asking for exclusivity.

Spot on sir, spot on.

Checks and balances dude. Is freeing yourself for future video game opportunities worth endangering the opportunity to fight in the number 1 fight promotion in the world right now?

I think releasing Jon Fitch is a bit extreme but I also think that it has more to do with the UFCs relationship with AKA then the UFCs relationship with Fitch, Jon just kind of got caught in the middle.
