10 Fighters Who Took On The UFC

[@jackmajor3466]

Dana loves to act like it's all business, but he takes fighters' business decisions personally time & time again

[@themonsterbaby]

No he don't. Unless it is bad for business. He's the promoter. He's ALWAYS going to choose what's best for the ufc over an individual fighter..... unless you're a bona-fide superstar, but that's because doing good for you IS doing good for the ufc.

First off, the fact that the fighters under contract with the UFC cannot work anywhere else without a breach of contract means they are employees, not independent contractors. Secondly, the fact that the UFC cannot function as a company without fighters means that those fighters essential to the business and therefore are employees, not independent contractors. Lastly, Dana essentially saying that Randy Couture isn't like Captain America because he doesn't toe the company line and just quietly live off of the crumbs dusted off the bigwig's table shows that DW does not understand Marvel's Captain America.

It REALLY sucks how unions have become a political topic as they serve to protect all workers regardless of political affiliation (or lack thereof). You can fucking hate a fighter for who they are as a person, like I do Tito, but appreciate certain efforts.
