"Cole Miller says fighters on local shows making more sponsorship money than him"

He will be cut after next loss and can earn more sponsorship money in local show.
 
That's why they need to get rid of Facebook fights. Franscisco Rivera was practically begging people to buy his last fight on UFC.com cuz no ne saw it. Just put all this shit on FS1. What the hell else do they have to air on that channel? No one wants to hear Andy Roddick talk about baseball.
 
Ive got an idea, lets pretend the UFC doesnt lock these guys down into unfair, one-sided contracts, pretty much dictating everything the fighters can and can not do and start to blame the fighters themselves anytime they say something detrimental to the UFC.

This way the UFC avoids any and all responsibility while the fighter is, of course, shit on for daring to speak up about the questionable business practices of the UFC.
 
The UFC should do him a favor and send him to the local circuit

His problems were directly targeted at the UFC, Cole is speaking out on sponsors and isn't directly calling out the UFC.

I do agree with this. Just put all of the damn fights on FS1. What's the point of having to watch 2 fights on Facebook to then switch over to FS for everything else? Having such fragmented programming isn't helping the UFC and id have that they'd have learned that by now.

Just make all the prelims available on TV and on facebook/youtube
 
You've given Flexweave his stage. Time to play out his movie.
 
Or you can just develop a personality not equal to that of a flat tire and go win some fights.

What is Cole Miller worth to anyone? Casual fans couldn't name him if they tried.

Be marketable and go train to win fights and you'll be off Facebook and being talked about on Facebook.

So these companies will sponsor guys whose fights aren't aired at all before a UFC fighter whose fight will be on Facebook?

Which is kind of odd, the next GSP/Silva/Jones could be fighting on facebook.

All seriousness, it is harder for mid-low level guys to get sponsors in the UFC because of the fee they have to pay. "Johnny's Bar" can throw 2K to a fighter on an AXS TV card, but would never be able to be a UFC fighter sponsor.

Yes, probably because they'd have to pay the UFC a fee just to be able to sponsor a fighter and pay the fighter they're sponsoring. If the company doesn't have a budget big enough to cover the UFC's fee, they won't be able to sponsor anyone on the UFC.
