All of these potential unions haven’t been able to find it one champion or high level fighter to draw people to join the union other than Cyborg. Also Smith’s argument is bull****. She had one fight on her deal. They offered her more money to fight Ladd who was overweight. She countered with a 50% raise and a contract extension. They paid her and released her. In fact, they didn’t even have to pay her but they did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I'm a bit too drunk to debate the cutting of leslie smith which i think is BS and illegal (at least it damn well should be) But if California just see her as an employee that will have massive ramifications alone. regardless of her case.
