Uh Oh...Koscheck and Velasquez Could Be Gone Too.

Same thing as fitch.

You should read Dana's rant on it. Pretty funny, although I do disagree with the part where he says "I'm not a *********", because hes looking like a major one right now

I've been reading that all of the AKA will be gone soon.

sounds like it's going to be more camps than this one soon...... Dana's ego is going to end up being UFC's downfall. if he ends up pissing too many good fighters off and letting them go, they'll end up signing with Affliction and could end up taking away many of the UFC's viewers. letting go of some of AKA's fighters is no big loss but losing Fitch, Velasquez, and Koshcheck (as much as i hate him) is losing 3 high caliber fighters that all have star potential. If Affliction can land a couple more fighters of that caliber.....they'll definitely have my interest then.

also, Dana's rant makes him look even more of an ass. anyone that signs over "lifetime" rights is stupid. if his company is seriously trying to make fighters sign that and fires the ones that won't do it....that really makes the UFC look even worse. they already took a lot of flack over the fighter's pay and i think they're definitely getting richer and richer at the fighters expense.

I read today that Fitch has spoken with Lorenzo and indeed ended up signing the likeness paper.

Did you listen to the audio interview I posted about this a few days ago. I think it's in the other thread.

I'll have to wait until I'm not at work to listen to that.

no, couldn't get it to work for me. this is an interview after he had signed the deal so this one should be pretty recent. he has signed the deal and Swick has signed it. Cain and Koscheck still haven't as of this moment.

Couldnt agree more.

That rant was the most absolute stupidest thing I have ever heard a businessman say.

"sure, go ahead, leave, go fight for our competetor and let them pay you more money to become a champion over there!!"
