So it was easy for Dana to let him go because people don't buy pay-per-views to see Daley. And so Dana let's go of a fighter who is still building a fan base and sends a message that the UFC is not like Stikeforce.

Almost forgot: I do think that Dana should have enforced some type of punishment on Nate. He represents the UFC no matter where he is or what he's doing.
That is exactly right. Dana should have fined Diaz or suspended him at least. Look at the NFL, they get fined or suspended for acting like idiots other places than on the field because regardless of where the players are; they are ALWAYS representing the NFL. The NFL does not want to look like some gangster football league, and that is what the UFC will become if these fighters don't get in toruble for things away from the company.
