RDA is the lightweight champion which is probably the most stacked division in the UFC at the moment but yet he is headlining a fight night card on a Thursday!!!!!! His crime: getting injured a few days before his biggest payday against McGregor.

Rory Macdonald's last fight was one of the best in MMA history in one of the biggest events of 2015. His next is a stylistic nightmare headlining a fight night card. His crime: testing free agency.

Cain gets injured before a title fight with Werdum and is now fighting the guy ranked 7th.

Plus the recent McGregor incident.

Now these could be all coincidental, but is RDA going to make as much off a fight pass card on a Thursday as he would off a PPV card or Fox card, is Cain going to be any closer to a title fight by beating Travis Brown than he already is and would Macdonald have got a title fight if he had signed a new contract?
Is the UFC laying down the law to fighters.?????
 
GSP decision over Hendricks made Dana get really pissed.
 
Just look at Holly Holm, she'll probably be stone walled by Dana for the rest of her career.
 
How is Rory getting punished? He beats Wonderboy. He's gonna get a nice fat contract from UFC. If he doesn't. He most likely walks to Bellator. Sadly. But he still gets paid regardless. Who knows. The UFC may not want to see Rory walk just yet and offer him something decent.
 
The UFC is not exactly known for having their fighters' backs.

UFC 151 is a solid example for me. As much as Jon Jones may have been wrong, the UFC deliberately threw him under the bus like he meant shit.
 
Every one should be willing to fight anyone and no match ups should be seen as punishment

Now that is something agree with. If there's one stylistic nightmare in this fight, the nightmare is Wonderboy's.

Others aside, the "punishment" for Cain is well-deserved. Cain didn't just injure himself before A title fight. Cain so far has:

-Derailed No.1 PPV monster Brock
-Derailed UFC on FOX debut by getting KTFO in 60 seconds
-Derailed UFC in Mexico debut by getting injured
-Derailed title fight in Mexico city by not wanting to be in Mexico city (so much for brown pride)
-Derailed gifted title rematch by getting injured again.

The UFC really tried with Cain. He messed up every other step of the way.
 
You are UFC assets, they moved you how they see fit. Only way to change this is talk up a trash game like Conor to Aldo, DC to Jones, And whoever the fuck. Trash talks generate hype, then in turn generate ppv.
 
You must be new around here although your join date says no. Why, then, do you not know about the small fact that zuffa is a money grubbing whore of a corporation? Gigging you a bit but If it's business, it's cool, that's their motto

Exactly this. The UFC had a hard on for Cain but he fucked it up every chance they gave him. Just by being too injury prone really. The UFC hype machine was more than happy to get behind this guy. But I'm glad it blew up in their face. Cain just seems really phony to me. Reps brown pride and Mexico yet the US is where he got all his opportunitties from. Especially with the wrestling culture. There is no wrestling culture in Mexico unless it's Lucha Libre Prowrestling. It rubs me the wrong way. Mexico is a failed state. A third world nation. Where millions of the people flood into the United states looking for opportunities because let's be honest. The Mexican government doesn't give two shits about their people. These are facts. Not opinion. Yet "Woooooohoo Mexico all day!"

Looking back Dana's reaction was happy when GSP was announced as the winner. It meant he still had his top cash cow as champ, Dana only got pissed once GSP announced his intentions to take time off/ retire. That's when he started attacking GSP at the press conference and talking about GSP owes the fans this and the company that blah blah.
 
It wasn't RDA's fault he got injured, and I don't necessarily think they are punishing him for pulling out of the McGregor fight, but it is unfortunate that he goes from headlining one of the biggest cards in history to making peanuts fighting on a fight night card.
 
Ufc is run by petulant children who happen to be multi millionaires
 
Dana may be a genuine fight-fan, but if the fighters think he's their friend they're mistaken.

I think Wonderboy v Rory is a great fight but if he had signed a new contract he would have got a title fight
 
The hardworking, hard fighting, family man is not the image the UFC wants to push or reward.

They rather push the loud, brash, and self-serving.

RDA doesn't bring in as many fans.
