Hours after being reportedly cut from the UFC in a dispute over a video game contract Jon Fitch came crawling back to daddy. Fitch realized pretty damn quickly that playing hardball with the UFC was a huge mistake.
According to MMARATED this is what Fitch has to say:
“Communication kind of broke down with Dana (White) so we talked with Lorenzo, I just got off the phone with him and we came to an agreement. We’re going to move ahead and I’ll be back in the UFC. We’re going to sign off on the video game and I’m back. It was never even about the agreement or the contract. It was the approach that we felt Dana was being a little bit hot-headed and was threatening us right off the bat. It didn’t seem like a professional way of doing things.”
Talk about having all the leverage. Looks like Dana White just sent a pretty strong message to all of his fighters. Do things my way or get the fuck out.
Pretty good tactic if you ask us.
