If Fitch dies, then those shares go to his family. That's why signing lifetime rights doesn't make a big difference. UFC success is Fitch's success. Sign the deal, get more shares too. Unless UFC goes bankrupt, it's a value deal for everyone. Companies go public all the time, UFC is on the same track. Fitch and other UFC fighters have stock (ownership) in UFC.

Let the fighters fight and the business guys negotiate. Who knows what actually happened, it's all speculation but it would be a shame to lose a fighter as exciting and of the high calibre that Fitch is. Velasquez is an amazing fighter and a possible future champion, i dont think the UFC would want to lose him, maybe Dana's ego is getting in the way of business.

I'm trying not to be as much of a troll lately, but facts is facts. It takes two sides for this to happen. On the one hand, you have management that wants to change standard contract language for a mediocre (at best) fighter, on the other you have an emotional guy who probably feels walked upon with the amount of s*it he HAS to take (see: dealings with athletic commissions, etc.). What you (and nearly everyone else) did was lump all the blame on Dana. It takes two. Dana doesn't freak out on anyone for just anything. He swears a lot, sure. But generally he has a good business head. And that means it took something he feels is very major to try to cut ties with an entire management group. If that interview made your opinion of Dana change, you clearly didn't have a well-formed opinion. huerta, You don’t know what he was told or what his beef with the equally unprofessional AKA crew is, so saying that one interview made you hate him…pretty much makes you come off like a douche.

Various different things regarding pay scale, time period of pay, promotional details, licensing rights to allow the UFC to show the fight even if he's not under contract with them anymore, that kind of thing I would assume. It would be hard to say without actually reading the contract. Their contracts aren't so simple as "You fight this guy, this day for this much money, sign here X________" There's a lot to it. re: “wats(sic) contract language enatail(sic)?”
