It is arguably good for the sport that he called attention to the absurdly lopsided UFC contracts and got paid well elsewhere.
If other fighters at least investigate that option then it will force the UFC to possibly have to compete in a slightly less monopolistic market.
If PFL-ator does well and creates enough revenue to pay fighters well, competition would be great for fighters pay and a solid alternative org to give fans options instead of UFCs heavily watered down cards would be nice.
I don't feel like we lost the Jones vs Francis fights because I never felt like there was a snowballs chance in hell ot would happen.
Jon was on UFC contract as a Twitter fighter for 3 years when Francis was around, 2 of those years I believe were with Francis holding the title and Jon had no interest in actually fighting Francis.
Jones and Francis be like:

He literally gave up $15M that the UFC repeatedly offered him since Stipe 1.
What the fuck are you talking about?
