If UFC had BETTER managing skills and stopped being CHEAP, it would'nt have this issue of the "flash bang" fighter to begin with.

Guys like Paul Buentello would be alot more likely to stick around in UFC longterm, that is, if zuffa would stop being cheap and offer them MORE than mediocre contracts that are the near equivilent to year or two of friggin' mcdonalds pay!

Is there there even such a thing as "Middle-class" in UFC? The ONLY guys that are paid well or decently, are the known main-event types. And everyone else who is'nt near the "uber-main event" level, just get the sad scrapps.

UFC either payes it fighters really well(main-eventers), or REALLY lousey(EVERYONE else). There does'ent seem to be a middle-ground.
