And it's not like the UFC's F bantamweight division is shallow? right? it's not like they could've really had the use for a solid gatekeeper in that division, right? #sarcasm She 's no Nicco Montano... She has 20 000 twitter followers, and is a medium name in the female bantamweight division. which, did I mention is kinda shallow? Ah, well then who cares if what the UFC did was effing illegal, as long as there's no smoking gun. Eff Leslie Smith cuz the UFC did something illegal and got away with it. honestly i just think most people think with their hearts. "I don't like her, she looks smug"... and then they fill in the rest

In most states you can fire someone for no reason. Just because her contract wasn't renewed doesn't mean it was illegal (even if everyone knows it was to stop the union). Just like in corporations they cover themselves when firing someone and have other documented official reasons.

I'm not against her and I want the union to help the fighters out and stop all the favoritism in the UFC and set some rules.

Arguing that her contract was not renewed because she is trying to start a union is a losing battle. She hasn't signed anywhere else for more money than the UFC was paying her, in fact she hasn't signed anywhere. She is old in WMMA which outside of 2-3 fighters no one cares about. WME has been cutting cost lately and be honest that she just isn't worth that money to the UFC.

The best bet is to get employee status, which then gets applied to everyone. Then everyone has some protection, maybe can even get paid for training, benefits, etc. Then they can work on the union.
