LOL this has been said before but, resign means to quit re-sign means to sign again...

Wow, has a prelim fight ever attracted so much controversy? Lol. The funny thing is, all this talk about AA, Dana, Rogan, lack of respect etc. is giving Andrei plenty of attention. Fans are jumping on the bandwagon all over the internet. I would be surprised if the UFC did not bring him back now, even if they don't, all the publicity will get AA a good contract somewhere else.

Pure and simple, you're a hater. No logic or intelligence for that matter to your argument. As a longtime poster here recently said to me ... people love to hate Dana and the UFC just like they love to hate the Yankees.

If AA isn't going to re-sign, then why give him exposure to bolster the next organization he'll be fighting for?? I don't expect you to understand this...just stick with your 'dana's a bitch pure and simple because me and my 13 year old friends said so' angle.

How about it is because it is what the FANS want to see. If I can going to pay PPV fees, I want to see the big guy fight. The fans showed how much they appreciated him...you seem very closed minded on this issue. I was very disappointed to see a former champion on the undercard. He earned his place and his fans want to see him fight.

So if he never got one how'd it end up there?

Also the Dana bashing is getting a little ridiculous, every day the same guys continue to talk shit. I'm pretty sure he doesn't control or isn't involved in every single aspect of the promotion. Also why would they put a fighter who isn't planning on signing with them on a PPV? To me that makes no sense,

AA did not get a post fight interview. A post fight interview takes place in the octagon right after the fight, not while your walking down the hallway to your locker room.

You guys are totally right. I mean, who cares if a companies business decision negatively effects a top ten fighters career and his ability to make a living just so you don't aid another promotion in some way.

I hope the government turns your house into a parking garage. While they're explaining to you what eminent domain is, you can remind yourself that it's a business decision and then it will all be ok.

And for the record, Dana is only a %10 owner of the UFC.

If they skip your post-fight interview, its for a reason. See: Lyoto after he beat Nakamura

First off any interview after a fight can be considered a post-fight interview because it was post fight smart ass.

Also who said it was the right decision?? I certainly didn't, I said it made sense from a business standpoint. Which it does.

Funny how you can only express your point by attacking others, the eminent domain is not even close to a relevent comparison. Also without bonuses, AA got paid more then any other fighter on that card. So main card or not AA still got paid well.

Eminant domain is perfect example in the sense that just because its a "business decision" doesn't justify it.

[blah]

pay him for what he's worth? well he is getting >100k. i realized after googling yesterday that the payouts originally posted here for ufc 82 were incorrect, and that diego got 30k + 30k instead of 8k + 8k. 60k sounds alot better. i'm pleased to see that diego, on his old tuf contract, is still getting more than koscheck, who is on a new contract.

Eminant Domain is in common law legal systems is the inherent power of the state to seize a citizen's private property, expropriate property, or rights in property, without the owner's consent. The property is taken either for government use or by delegation to third parties who will devote it to "public use." The most common uses of property taken by eminent domain are public utilities, highways, and railroads. Some states require that the government body offer to purchase the property before resorting to the use of eminent domain.

Oh yeah it has alot to do with AA...
