If the Saudis ever wanted to venture into another sport to wash money they could clean the UFC up

Yup. It's funny he twists boxing issues being down to money. The problem with boxing is lack of a unified organization that can force the best fights. The problem with going that route is that it allows the organization to fukk the fighters over.

there's need to be a fighters union
It's been tried several times and the issues have gone to superior courts. But UFC/WME have deeper than deep pockets. Monopolies are no fukking joke, and no matter what Dana says, UFC has a monopoly on the MMA zeitgeist.

The biggest fukk up ai can remember was when GSP was in one of the proposed unions and UFC bought him off with the Bisping fight and then the whole thing crumbled.

listening to him now with Helwani and he said the deal from the PFL was a difference of six figures compared to the UFC
