Is the Golden Age of MMA about to be over?

I mentioned when the Reebok deal was announced that the UFC's Hubris and greed would be their downfall.


Cutting out the secondary markets that supported most of their fighters may prove to be a fatal mistake. These guys that fight for $6-12K a pop and then only $2500 in sponsor money aren't making enough to do anything more than barely get by.

Like everything, it's good at the top and a struggle everywhere else. Limiting the ways your fighters can earn money is not a good business move.
