"This world in which mega promoters come in and stomp out smaller promoters is bad for the sport," Duva said. "Trying to create this UFC model is fundamentally wrong. I don't know how one person can represent everyone. As a medium-level promoter, I can go out and advocate for my fighters. These people, they came along and upset everything. We had a deal. This is not OK. My father told me to stand up to bullies, and I'm OK doing that."
