Dana's loyalty to his athletes.

[Mark Kerr]

I don't fault Dana for not having "loyalty" to his athletes.  This is a business, not a family.  His job is to build the UFC brand in order to sell seats & PPV's.  

The reason these guys are fighting in the UFC is PRIMARILY for the money, not because of their loyalty to the UFC or their love for fighting.  If anyone of them got a better deal from another organization, they would jump ship.

There is no loyalty in any side...it's business.

That said, Dana fucked up the Fedor deal and was unable to hold on to Randy.  That is why he is now more of a PR front man...


Not true. Some of those guy don't make shit. Like Keith Jardine, he makes $14,000.00 a fight.

I said the "Primary" reason.  Those that are making shit money are hoping to move up and make more.  If they weren't in it for the money, then they would STFU and stop complaining about how little they are making.

I will say there are some that are in it because the want fame/glory/legacy.  But, they are the exception....
