Is GSP being squeezed out of the UFC?

Have you ever tried to squeeze something that's covered in vaseline? It's not easy.

I was gonna say this.

GSP's not coming back with that Reebok deal in place.

$40 grand to wear Reebok? I"m guessing GSP could bring in 1-2 million in sponsorships. At least.

I think as a former champion he'd get $30,000, not $40,000, but I could be wrong.

He also has an exclusive deal with Under Armor which would obviously conflict with Reebok.

The Reebok thing could be an issue, but all issues can be solved in contracts.

Could it be an effort by Dana to hurt GSP and diminish his value by saying he doesn't want to fight? Dana wants to prevent him from getting big fights or big cards like MSG? Dana likes dumb headstrong fighters that are willing to fight for less money, not business savvy ones.

GSP is too nice to say anything in return and is wary of Dana now that Lorenzo isn't there to be the reasonable one to deal with.
