Those contracts are a motherfucker
I get it is smart business but damn they own your fucking ass
Francis obviously wants no part of another long term exclusive contract
Is a 3 fight contract the lowest they offer other than when they need a short notice step in opponent?
I think they remember getting burned on a one fight deal with a Defending champ and won't let it happen again...Frank Shamrock signed a 1 fight deal for the Tito fight and bounced with his stock at an all time high
