@Mike
You clearly know nothing about how business works or about having leverage over somebody.
I never said that every fighter that tries to negotiate gets cut or told to fuck off(Although if they ask for too much like GSP, they will be bad mouthed by the UFC/DANA in some PR campaign against said fighters who wants a better contracts)......They sign fight contracts that usually are for several fights, and they negotiate the money they get.....Putting extra shit like "I get paid show money even if the fighter pulls out", is something they don't negotiate and most likely the UFC would never agreed to.
Again Brian Ortega doesn't have much leverage...he isn't a huge fucking name that could be asking to get paid regardless if a fighter pulls out...At most he can ask for money, and he won't get much of it because the UFC knows they hold most of the cards...
Brian Ortega asking for guaranteed money even if the fighter pulls out, wouldn't be agreed upon, and if Brian Ortega tried to hold out...He would just waste time because the UFC won't agree to it.
The only fighters who could probably put they get show money regardless if a fighter pulls out, are big time fighters like Conor/Ronda/Brock...They have actual leverage.

First off not understanding how business works doesn't put you on some moral high ground. If you think every fighter that tries to negotiate gets cut or told to fuck off, well you're wrong. Simple as that. Guys coming over from Bellator or strikeforce as champs or top contenders there were not getting standard contracts. Well known fighters that made their name in the ufc aren't settling for lowball contracts when they renegotiate.
In literally every other business, if you want to get paid what you feel you deserve, you have to negotiate. I don't know why people think fucking prize fighting is the one business that would magically be different.
