PLEEEEEAAAASSSEEEEE Let all the fighters refuse to fight without actual payment!!!
"Well, I had to uninvite all the weak and pathetic UFC fighters, just like I did for all those no-talent musical acts. What can I say, folks, everyone's a loser but ME. So to celebrate America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday, let's all just listen to me talk for two hours. Gotta give the people what they want, I always say."
Getting UFC fighters to unionize on a cause might be an impossible task. They've all been complaining about pay their whole careers but won't unionize and the one they did the fights just settled for payouts instead of an actual change in the company.
I love the sport and some of the fighters but I hate UFC and how much of a bitch these fighters are to the organization (and trump).
Turns out getting kicked in the head for a living is associated with making other bad decisions.
