No, there really isn't any compensation. The contract Dana was trying to coerce fighters into signing explicitly stated that you would sign away your likeness for life without compensation.

I won't buy it for sure, but I wouldn't if this hadn't happened either.. I might stop buying the PPV's though, that should hurt more.

I believe it to be true. that the UFC owns them, and their likeness.. evidence??
no AKA, ATT, Team Quest, BTT, ChuteBoxe, or other camp T-shirts being sold at UFC events!!!!

Signed for the game, and for a number of PPVs, until I see some evidence of fighters being more fairly treated. I know all of this happens in America, but this seems bad even with that in mind.

This is why the fighters should create some kind of union. They have absolutley no power, and its common knowledge Dana rapes his fighters. They get paid shit compared to boxers anyways. I heard they won't get any monies from UFC action figures either, or any kind of UFC merchandise. You guys think a union would work??

Do you think Rampage makes more money then Hardonk? Serious question. Why do you think he does?
Can you see how things such as games can help with this?
If fighters wisened up and stopped looking at UFC to be their main pay cheque, they could be making a lot more money through things as pissy as appearances.
Plus I still believe there would be something for merchandise - Call me stubborn, but I'd want to see the contract before believing that bullshit. Something for fighting, something for UFC appearances, and merchandise.
Dana White is a cockhead, but fighters also need to smarten the fuck up and not even deal with contracts.

I was gonna buy it, but fuck this.
I'd rather have Fitch, Kos, and Cain in the UFC and no videogame at all.

I had to think about this...
I'm not really planning on having any kind of video game system in a few years since that's a luxury.
I will not be buying this game anymore. I was terribly excited for it when the news first broke and when the first videos appeared, but after seeing this shit with Fitch and others happen, what's the point?
Furher White can kiss my ass
