Maybe this place will chill the fuck out and the forums will stop freezing for a bit.

LOL@ Fitch going from adopted son of the HW now to being a sissy boy taking it in the ass from the UFC who sucks now in less than a day. Now I know why I don't post in here anymore.

Lorenzo and Fitch worked out a deal. The UFC and Fitch both got what they wanted.

Didn't take long.

Clearly a lot of intermediaries and mixed signals were sent. People got fumed, people got burned, but obviously AKA will smarten up.

Kos, Fitch, Cain, Swick aren't gonna lose careers over this. Their management most likely tried to hardball the UFC, and we all know that doesn't work with Dana.

The fighters probably didn't realize what was happening in the meeting, found out their jobs were at stake, told their managers to get fucked and called Dana and said listen this wasn't my doing I was misinformed and other people were speaking on my behalf but weren't accurately representing me.

Good on everyone involved for sorting it out quickly.

So now I get to play Jon Fitch on the video game? That's what this boils down to right. I planned on using Karo as my WW anyways. This gets me nowhere.

Dana comes off INCREDIBLY badly as a result of this. He will have to take a step back from his usual approach because hes basically just been made to look like an idiot.

Awesome!!!

Thats what I'm talking about Lorenzo, let Dana take the lead w/ this stuff, but if shit like this starts up-step in.

He & Tito are still cool, so hopefully Tito can finish his career in the UFC, where he belongs.
