From USA Today:

“This is not an attack on Jon Fitch. It’s not an attack on anyone fighter. We have chosen not to do business with this camp calledAKA. These guys have never, ever, ever treated us like partners.They’re always fighting over stupid, stupid (stuff) and negotiatingover stuff that makes no sense. They’re negotiating like they’ve gotMel Gibson and this thing is the biggest movie ever being made. Youknow what I’m saying? The reality is, we’re not even sanctioned inMassachusetts or New York … (and) we’re going into all these differentcountries trying to do these different things. And I’ve got these guysthat basically don’t want to be partners with me. You’ve got morons �"morons �" that are running these fighters’ lives. But to tell you thetruth, one of the fighters from AKA called me and said, “Listen, Idon’t care what these managers say or what they’re doing. I make my owndecisions and my decision is, I’m with you. I’m your partner, I’m in.’And this was before we even told AKA we wouldn’t be doing business withthem any more. So this really isn’t an attack on Jon Fitch or anypersonal fighter. We’re just choosing not to do business with AKA anymore. We’re not going to do business with them. And listen, there’sother guys out there that they can go do business with; they’re justnot going to do business with me. Now there’s rumors out there, I know,about, ‘It’s over a video game deal. It’s over the ancillary rightsagreement. It’s over this, that.’It’s over a lot of different things.It’s not one specific fighter or one specific thing. It’s about a lotof different things with a lot of these fighters. And you know what?This is more than just AKA. There’s other camps out there that we’rehaving trouble doing business with. And at the end of the day, this isa business. We run a business just like any other business. You comein, you do your job with your company and you get paid. And the guysthat don’t want to do business with you �" then go work somewhere else.It’s as easy as that. You don’t have to do business with us. There’sother people out there you can do it with.”

Holy shit...
I read through all the articles posted. Seems crazy.
Firstly, Dana IS being a prick. I'm guessing THQ said they are not doing the game unless all the fighters signed exclusively with them, so they could beat out EA. Which is probably why Dana approached it like that with the fighters. But that only goes to show the fucker cares more about the deal with THQ than he does about his own fighters. I assume the top-flight guys either signed with no resignation or got a better deal. But Dana should have argued the case with THQ, not gone and bullied the fighters on whose shoulders the company is built.

Secondly, I think Fitch is making a bad move. I get why he's angry, but he was treated well in the UFC. He worked hard for it, and the fact that he's giving it all up for his pride is not smart. He said himself he's not going to be put on any other video game anyway, so this whole uncooperative thing is not in his favour.
