So AA will still have a job? Yes.

But as I stated not at the same level, due to a lack of competition with regards to the Orgs.

Ok I get it. Is that bad though? Randy, Liddell, Fedor and so on are getting paid. Are you saying that Alovski should get paid more even if he isnt trying or other fighters?

No, I was just using the AA situation to shed light on a situation that will most likely [IMO] become a not infrequent situation for fighters of the Org, when there contract expires.
Although I accept that AA was somewhat an author of his own situation.

I also felt the link provided a good read that some here would appreciate and raised some interesting points and questions.

I suspect your referring to me, since that was not the topic or the thread.

I just cant believe, how some of the sherdoggers never did maths at school.

Please don't say monopoly it gets people upset around here then they want to start debating the word rather that the actual link I provided, lol.

But yeah there dominance will make some people feel comfortable and others feel uncomfortable I guess.

I love that UFC has the best fighters in the world right now under one roof!!! But yes i would love to see a tie mwhere fighters fro mdifferent organizations compete agiasnt fighter from another organization. but only the best of the best, not up and coemrs and mediocre fighters. There sure is plenty of leagues out there now!!!

UFC
Elite XC/ K1
Heros
Bodog
IFL
WEC

but i jsut wonder if htat after a while it will all get to confusing.who knows

Which group is doing better?

With the exception of wrestling all, of the sports leagues mentioned either pay based on winning (nascar) or based on teams or promoters competting for the best talent. Do you doubt that the world's best: basketball player is in the nba/baseball player is in mlb/football player is in the nfl???...Even boxing as corrupt as it is has lots of different promoters. It is sad that the purse strings of the ufc are in the hands of one man dana white.He and zuffa should be one promoter or team among many.A journeyman boxer can make more money than a ufc champion.If the ufc were a true sports league with the likes of Al Davis,Steinbreiner,mark cuban,and even Don King,does anyone doubt that fedor would already be in the ufc?
