Yeah that should read "that he did sign"

But the contract is fucked.

We do know that the UFC is the only large promotion to successfully stay in business and they probably have a better understanding of their business needs.

If they can't get fighters to agree with their basic business structure then it's time to part.


What basic business structure about a fighting organisation (a fighting organisation that has a piss poor history of successfully promoting merchandise for individual fighters) requires rights to your image and name after your death? This is a new development and it doesn't just cover video games, fighters are being asked to sign away the rights to things they make their basic expenses off like autographs and the contract would probably have precluded Fitch from continuing the online training videos he's produced: www.tapoutlive.com/images/mags/ufc_legal.pdf

Fitch has signed the deal now. He wasn't upset about the deal he just didn't like the way Mr. White acted in the negotiations. He basically called his management up and told them he needed a favor and then quickly went on to say Fitch would be cut if he didn't sign this deal. Fitch then called up Lorenzo Fertitta and they spoke. He then signed the deal.

He inhabited the body of another through the mystical power of hearsay.

No where you? This is just what I've read in interviews with both parties. I don't pretend to know the full truth of the matter. This is what's been reported from the parties involved no more no less.

And where did they reported this? Can you provide links to these new developments?

I'd actually love to see those, no sarcasm. Not much from either party's sprung up on my radar.

Could've fooled me...
