Man, I remember when all this stuff was going down it was the usual "Fuck Zuffa" crowd patrolling the board. Sounds like they have quite the shady business practices

Reem just announced he is a new member at extreme couture

I'll admit I was in on the "fuck zuffa" argument(and until Marloes gets a recall I may still retain that stance) but were u not in the "fuck Reem" camp?

You all know I am a Zuffa Homer. But I think my reasons are completely sound. They have a fighters meeting annually to go over everything from finances to promotional opportunities to injury issues. They worked to get fighters training insurance, should they be injured. They pay backstage bonuses, that don't show up when the fighters purse is being announced on the internet, the biggest I have heard of was Shogun getting $200K after he fought Machida the first time. Contenders get usually their biggest checks to date when fighting the champion, but it isn't part of their fighting purse. They work hard at being fan friendly on every level. Plus they work with and support the decisions of the various Athletic Commissions they deal with. And those small potato fighters on undercards? They aren't going to make a 6 figure salary, but they make just enough to make a living and feed their families. You can't say that about the NBAs D-league or boxing.

My view on this situation was this, now I change it, I back the fighters on their decisions, this was the right one for him.
