After 17 years managing the careers of MMA fighters, Monte Cox has learned that there are two ways to get along in the UFC.
“Either you can be in the UFC family, or you can not,” said Cox, who represents more than 70 pro fighters, including several former UFC champions.
One way Cox has lasted so long and been so successful, he said, is by urging his fighters to steer clear of the “not” option – the one Cox and many others say Jon Jones may have unwittingly chosen when he turned down a bout with Chael Sonnen at UFC 151.
