were not debating how a business works. of coarse its to maximize profits.
the question we need to anwer is the UFC bussiness model helping or hurting the sport.
Is that the question? I thought the question was whether or not the UFC was hurting Jose Aldo?
The UFC is clearly not hurting the sport. As I already mentioned, under evil Zuffa the UFC and MMA in general has become far more popular than it was before them. Little organizations benefit from how profitable the UFC is, which is something fighter pay whiners never think about. The UFC spends the most money advertising their product, by far. They created interest in the sport, and that interest keeps not only them afloat, but lots of other organizations, too. Do you think that without the years of groundwork and millions upon millions of dollars the UFC pumped into garnering interest in MMA, that there'd be as many little regional organizations that there are? I don't. They created interest in the sport that just didn't exist. The UFC has helped MMA grow tremendously by being greedy.
