I say 8-12 months. ZUFFA folds. Fighters get new contract.

Not IF they'll strike. It's IF they do. Phone Post

Whether it's a strike of "employees" or not, and assuming the minute possibility that more than a couple go out, UFC would bury them. Basically, only people on this forum would care. UFC would announce that we've replaced malcontents with better fighters, 95% of the fans would accept it, and they'd churn out huge profits with less payroll. The current fighters would get backing for or join another promotion, which would hemorrhage money and fold.

Please explain. If fighters were all not fighting ufc would just hire new no names and we would buy that?

What about big name fighters resigning with other promotions? You think if ZUFFA's most popular fighters contacts expire, they'll just let let them resign with other promotions? Phone Post

They'd still be rich, but wouldn't they lose a lot of market segment after people start tuning to Bellator or WSOF to see their favorite UFC fighters as contracts expire?

Do you think they would be able to recover? Their numbers have been looking pretty bad. Phone Post
