Hi Chael, really like you comments. Congrats ending Fedor fight without serious injury. That is very important. What is you thinking about you future careers. Best.
Chael, You need to get those words down. Maybe you're right, and it should be 51/49 in the way of the person with the money. Right now though, it is skewing more 80/20 (or further). That is Joanna's complaint. I think she would have certainly had grounds to sue the UFC if they took this opportunity from her. Preparing for fights is a natural process for most of these fighters (Heavily because of the weight-cut) and the expectation to fast forward natural progression and weight cutting is not only unreasonable, it is dangerous. As any fighter successfully sued? If not, the UFC may be 100/0
no they shouldn't because it can work against you

Card subject to change is written on the ticket purchased by the fan. Maybe the fighter needs to sign a card is subject to change clause?
Michael Bisping and Chael Sonnen are the beacons of making opportunities happen in life.
