↵Most of these goofy MMA sites, what you have to understand is, these guys are in it for the money. They get paid from all the smaller promotions. They get paid a lot of money from the smaller promotions. So they feel like they have to put some of their guys. That’s the way it works. It’s sick and drives me crazy.

↵The real problem with this statement is that if you’re going to make it, name names. It’s a typical Dana White move to undercut the credibility of anyone who is not affiliated with the UFC. There are two ways to look at this. Either he is saying people are being paid off to rank fighters in a certain spot, or he is saying that if a smaller promotion advertises with you then you feel pressured into ranking that promotion’s fighters higher than you should.
↵The truth is, there is no significant money being made by anyone advertising for a promotion like Strikeforce. As with most things MMA, the money is controlled by the UFC.
