But he's really just a "yes" man for the Fertittas. I love the show, and the UFC, but I always hate it when there's an inbred punk like Junie Browning on the show. I can't wait till he goes down in flames! It's not just the booze that makes him a waste of oxygen, he's like that sober. And he looks like an older version of the kid playing the banjo in Deliverance. He does have talent in MMA, but he's really not half of what he thinks he is. Look at his last fight. He's missing major key parts to his game. One being the MOST important CARDIO. And the lack of heart just makes you want him to lose. If you wanted to ration out the blame, I'd say it's 50% Junie's, 25% Zuffa(Fertitta Bros), 15% Dana'a, and 10% Spike's. Exploitation is the name of the game for "reality tv" shows. It's all about making more loot for themselves. And to that another of PT Barnum's quotes should fit right in... "A fool and his money are soon parted."

Fighters are still able to pursue endorsement deals on their own. They just want to be able to market UFC fighters in ways that create long term value for the company and the fighters. <i> It is my understanding that the video game licensing agreement that Fitch was refusing to sign is in fact exclusive. It's the merchandising agreement that went out a few months ago that you are describing. What makes this even more non-sensical: Zuffa isn’t even asking for exclusive rights.

UFC 91 was, its just that most of the internet folks buy into stupid crap like Nate Quarry actually being able to win. At least in the case of the Affliction show, you had real elite fighters versus prospects in such fights. Most every show is filled with mismatches.
