Based on that argument, if you hire an independent contract, via a signed contract, to renovate your apartment/house, they are completely in the right of just walking away from it if they feel like it.

And you, in turn, understand that Dana White being an unpleasant person has nothing to with the actual situation, right? If Dana White says that he doesn’t want his fighters punching random people on the street, he won’t in the wrong with that?

Great except for the fact he kind of made the choice on that the moment he signed the contract. Especially since the boss here wasn’t asking him to do anything sleazy or questionable, but to participate in promoting the fight as indicated in the fight contract.

But that’s a horrible position to take. Besides, this slightly ignores the fact that, based on what I’ve read, they had the fight contract signed and McGregor agreed to those tour conditions. Especially since organizing those tours costs the UFC a ton of money.
