This deal could however provide major cash/exposure to Elite so that they can start paying some bigger names. The three names Deattribution mentioned above (assuming the UFC doesn't resign Arlvoski) as well as Matt Linland, Tito Ortiz and some others would help their cause.

I'm sure there's quite a few fighters in the UFC now who would walk when their contracts expire if the cash is there, and if the org. provides the same level of exposure (which network tV can provide). Dana isn't the easiest guy to work with, but since the UFC is the biggest name in town few 'names' have rejected them to date (other than Fedor and eventually Randy).

Either way, it's probably a good thing for us as it pressures the UFC so that they don't do stupid crap like raise the PPV rates yet again.
