Quote:
Former number one UFC welterweight contender Jon Fitch was today handed his walking papers for refusing to sign an agreement that would give the promotion exclusive lifetime video game rights to his name and likeness, MMAmania.com can exclusively confirm.

Christian Wellisch ― who also didn't ink the paperwork ― was also released. Others who do not sign the agreement could also be let go in the future.

Fitch and members of his camp were not immediately available for comment on the startling development.

While the full details are a little murky at this time, Fitch was apparently approached about the issue when he turned in his signed bout agreement to fight Akihiro Gono at UFC 94: "St. Pierre vs. Penn 2″ on January 31. And when he and his representatives attempted to negotiate the video game deal it was all or nothing.

He didn't sign it and was terminated shortly therefafter.

This happened a few months ago. Fitch's people had contacted Lorenzo Ferttita directly and was reinstated about a day later.

But yeah, that doesn't take away from the fact that Dana can be a cawk sometimes.

Remember that reality show that Dana White was on with the mma up and coming fighters?
Didn't he say something like "we're like survivor, except instead of voting them off the island we beat them off.... uh..." lol. ;D
