The person in the lower position is always the 'No' guy. It's a fact of life, every successful management team relies on this.

Effectively yes.

Although it did make Dana look like a bully, and Fitch look like he had big brass ones for standing up to the boss.

Yep, I'm just glad it got sorted out. I wonder how Dana got sand in his vagina that day?

I don't see how anyone can see this as anyting other than a victory for Dana/UFC. I feel confident in saying the Fertitittas knew of the whole situation. You guys are grasping at straws to think Fitch won anything other than having his job back. He signed the same contract that I believe he said was signing his soul over.
Because, no company wants there dirty laundry evaluated in public. And Fitch made this happen.

Im sorry.. but if this was really planned, they would have never let it get to the media. That ruins any chance of them ever getting to use this position again, because next time people will just ignore Dana and go staight to Lorenzo and then negotiate in good faith with him.

The UFC lost a lot of face in this fiasco, and you can better beleive that other fighters and camps were paying attention to the way this played out.
