Yes … 100% the Ali Act … in boxing this would be completely illegal …. This is a feeder league to the UFC … to start graduating his guys … so I expect a ton of squash matches

There’s promotors in Latin American MMA do that. They’re promotors and manage fighters. Some promotors require fighters to sign with them in order for them to book them in fights in their promotions.

Same with FCC in Peru, Jason House of Iridium funds that promotion to funnel peruvians into the UFC on cheap contracts

That sucks, I haven't seen a Combate card on TV since last December. I couldn't even find the recent ones on Univision when they were supposed to be on. Their Youtube channel has frequent uploads, but I have no idea which cards they are because it's all in Spanish with no fight dates listed, just random stuff, old Combate Americas stuff mixed in with newer stuff. They've been impossible to keep up with since their deal with Paramount ended, and even then it was still difficult to get info on upcoming cards until the last minute.

Yes, Dana would do well if creating a boxing promotion using UFC model in Mexico.
No mere dream, UFC has lobbyist and lawyers working on it. Also, Trump is no fan of it. Doubt Ali Act survives his 4 year presidency.
