Time will tell while Dana may not want to do it now if the fighters request and want to do so Dana may support them in certain cases albeit only the superstars will be able to leverage that. In terms of income though it is true that the top of the MMA pocket is not anywhere close to a Boxing Purse at this time.

For now though I agree brand protection is the smarter move but that might not be the case forever. (Woops posted under brandonk)
