Smart kid.
no reward. fuck zuffa.
No as far as I know they get frozen and the act/state of legally being frozen in perpetuity is in the agreement, they either return to the UFC or stay retired. Essentially why wand or Nate or someone else doesn't just wait out some inactivity period, or if they have no use for you at all and don't have an inkling you are worth any substantial eyes to Bellator they will cut you. It's why Koscheck is not being treated as a "Well good bye" by Zuffa as much as Fitch or Okami, they know what Daily vs Koscheck rematch is worth to Bellator.
If you're active they have to offer you one per year (if they don't think they gain anything from you fighting more or are in dispute with them, unless something unique is worked out but that is only in the case of fighters with leverage at the top) this is pretty standard
@ErikMagraken can probably confirm what might be missing from my info.
Ok so it's x number of fights regardless. Thanks man.No as far as I know they get frozen and the act is in the agreement, they either return to the UFC or stay retired. Essentially why wand or Nate or someone else doesn't just wait out some inactivity period.

What the fuck?
I think like the NFL where there are guys now retiring young and forgoing massive amounts of money compared to MMA, basically because of the head injury facts and research, we are seeing the beginning of it in MMA which is easier because of lower pay, or (And I hope this isn't the case because Mein doesn't strike me as this) the new testing is a problem for certain guys in some way and we'll see more of this.
To me it's basically a late start in life. Work your way up to the pinnacle, earn jack shit, leave before you get chance to make major money. ...
Unless he has something already lined up. Best of luck in either case
I might be wrong but I thought it was 1 every 6 monthsNo as far as I know they get frozen and the act/state of legally being frozen in perpetuity is in the agreement, they either return to the UFC or stay retired.

Damn would have like too see him fight again...But is what it is and if he's done then I just like to thank him for the good shows he's put on.
Good luck to him.
Here is the Zuffa retirement clauseNo as far as I know they get frozen and the act/state of legally being frozen in perpetuity is in the agreement, they either return to the UFC or stay retired.

If at any time during the Term, Fighter decides to retire from mixed martial arts or other professional fighting competition or is permanently disabled, then ZUFFA may, at its election, (i) suspend the Term for the period of such retirement or disability; (ii) declare that ZUFFA has satisfied its obligation to promote all future Bouts to be promoted by ZUFFA hereunder, without any compensation due to Fighter therefor; or (iii) elect to provide Fighter with notice of an Acceleration.
There's no real incentives to carry on fighting with the reebok deal. Fighters don't want brain injuries for 8/8 and 5 k sponsors. Also Jordan might be 25 but in mma years hes about 50. He was going to war with fully grown men when he was only 16/17
I would like to see him take sometime off and come back whenever he feels ready. Still super talented and definitely hasn't reached his full potential
