Well put, Mr. Landry. :)
I tend to lean towards the thinking that Machida was a little rushed, and as a result, a little greedy. Now I have never negotiated a fight contract at the highest levels of the sport, but when you want a lot of money I would think you suggest that BEFORE you agree to the fight. Signing the contract an then demanding more money is about as classy as going to a Steven Segal movie on a first date.

Ha ha ha, nice reference.
I dont believe he signed a contract ... a contract would have involved a pay rate .... he made a verbal agreement to take the fight and then wanted more money for the short notice and risk ... very different from having 6 months notice ... then smack talking your opponent... then demanding money .... Machida never said crap about his opponent and was short noticed ...I'm not a huge fan of Machida ... but i understand where he was coming from.... if Royler lost against Eddie ... would he be chancing getting another fight to continue his career ....
