Calling the UFC a monopoly is plain asinine.
A lot of people take issue with the current pay structure in the sport itself. It is all instilled with supply and demand in the PPV structure. The lowest are in the 8k/8k in the UFC ranks and biggest PPV superstars like GSP make up to $4M (if you believe their numbers).
Now on network television it would take major sponsorship deals to make the pay increase.

"they are trying to make a monopoly so that they can keep fighters salaries down"
Thats the most stupid thing I ever heard! If anything UFC are giving these guys an opportunity to make some real money for a change. It's not like ay other promotion can pay more and survive. This is just envy.
By the way Bellator is a competitior and I dont see them trying to pay fighters more then UFC, and I dont see UFC having any problems with them. All that talk is just coming from people that are either jelous, have a thorn in the side to UFC or are plain nuts ready to say anything to be on camera. In my opinion.
