If it's a privately-owned company that he's a big part of, he can. Might not be "right", but he can. Take, for example, a couple years ago, the season of TUF that Amir won over Dollaway. That Jesse dude who was supposed to be in the finals got fired for making a drunken scene. Then brought back and fired again after losing to Dollaway, supposedly for complaining about a double standard. While Rampage has always had a home in the UFC even though he had an incident around that time for a hit-and-run and then blew off the UFC because he decided to be a movie star (he might have been the "double-standard" Jesse was complaining about).
Or how a low-talent guy like Junie Browning got a handful of fights (including at least one on the main card) because he creates controversy, while more skilled also-rans from TUF seasons struggle to get a foot in the door.
People can complain about how one guy was treated over another, but what's the difference between this and, say, us bitching about Goodell's inconsistencies in fines and suspensions in the NFL?
