It's going to hurt AKA a hell of alot more than it's going to hurt UFC. The fans will also suffer, but you watch, AKA will find away to make ammends, cause once Affliction is gone...UFC will be the only place to play to get PAID.

Poor Dana. So underappeciated for all his hard slavish devotion to the sport. Noone understands how heavy his troubles way him down.

All he wants is the simply peace of people doing exactly as their told without all these questions, demands or rights. Can't they see what their doing to him and his beloved promotion.

It shows that noone else has the clarity of vision and business sense to really grasp his subtle genius and the fact that he is simply tired from proping up the sport and its athletes.

Dana White is the Atlas of the MMA World. The sport owes him, the athletes owe him and the fans owe him and its about time everyone just shut their traps and started paying up.

"And lo Dana looked upon all that he had wrought and saw that it was just business and therefore good..."

"And Dana said Let There Be MMA and it was so..."

"For Dana so loved the sport that he gave his only begotten contracts, so that athletes that believeth in him would not be fired, but would have everlasting roster life"

"Let him who has a success MMA promotion cast the first stone..."

Exactly......To add to your point do you think fighters will want to join their gym when it would end their chances of fighting in the largest mma org in the world? Probably not

Is this really shocking?

Who in their right mind thought for one second that Dana would be running shit without causing major upheaval and bitterness.

I truly wish there was some sort of North American competition for the UFC. However, if anybody thinks that all promoters are not scumbags you are deeply mistaken.

Promoters are trash...with the exception of Acharn Mike Miles.

Dana is just the latest incarnation of Don King. If you don't like it, don't buy it!
