My guess is get your ass kicked badly like 3xs in a row, i.e., Woodley. The UFC wants you to be worthless on the FA market.Is there a way to get out of a ufc contract without being cut? Can it expire ? I know they can offer fights and sometimes that counts to extend the contract. Does Nate have any options at all?
The problem for Diaz is that he looks good when he gets his ass kicked, and I don’t think it’s grounds to get him cut.
On the flip side, the UFC brand holds weight, and the UFC doesn’t want someone who has benefitted from there brand making more money outside of their agency. Woodley fought Paul because he was a UFC champ, and not a Bellator champ.
