UFC signs Cro Cop ?

sounds like it.

A little odd, they cut his $200g dollar salary when he goes 1-3 then they bring him back for one easy fight after he is unimpressive outside the UFC and now it sounds like he got a big offer.

He could be the UFC champ, would love to see him fight Arlovski if the UFC signs him too (Arlovski could not be hit once to win that matchup)

What's with all these fighters continuing to sign with the UFC? I've been told several times that their contracts are "completely unacceptable" and "akin to slavery".

Zapp, in case you haven't noticed, they might be the only MMA company that actually makes money. So if you want a boss who will be in business long enough to honor your fight contract, you don't have many choices.

anyways, I don't complain about pay when it comes to the stars in the UFC but I do complain about the one sided contracts where they try to lock people up for long periods of time if it suits them when they in turn don't take any risk (can dump someone for losing a single fight during the contract).
