The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Cannonier, Imavov, Reyes, Rosas on NOW

[OTG]

Agreed, I doubt most fans care. They just want their fights

As someone who loves this sport and will tune in even for the bad Alex cards right from the start

Fighter pay starts with the managers and not the fighters. It’s a good 3/4 managers that manage like 75-90% of the ufc fighters. Ali prob accounts for 50%. It would take them all coming together to raise the bar on pay but that will never happen because they are all already in bed with the promotion.

Damb, just read the allegations. Crazy story. Dern having to pay her ex $4k a month in child support too... wow

idk why but this made me laugh

“I never physically attacked Mackenzie, she is an MMA fighter,” Santos wrote in a court filing. “I would never even try to get physical with her. I would have no chance.”

At least her $50k bonus pays a year of child support and alimony for the year.

100%

Managers seem to be a major part of the issue

That MMA Fighting story on the divorce proceedings between Dern and her ex...

Messy stuff. I didn't see if it was happening in Brazil or the USA. They really need to change divorce settlements. Was dude a stay at home dad and that's why he needs the $4,000 a month?

100%

Managers seem to be a major part of the issue

The UFC, managers, the fighters, they're all part of the problem.

Collectively, the fighters can't be cool with 13% and no revenue sharing, especially with those cancerous contracts, no insurance, etc.

Joana J is now a manager. She probably sees the life you can carve out by just negotiating for the fighters.

someone needs to stop him.

Listened to morning kombat the other day and it was a great pod. Would highly recommend anyone with time to listen to the details they shared breaking down the whole fighter pay thing.

roughhhh

If they do her anything like they do men, theyll consider that an increase in salary and order her to pay more. Child support system in America is crooked and evil.

 

[spiderjericho]

Is the case taking place in America or Brazil?

[Vincent Van Goat]

Just seen their face off in Japan… aj dwarfs him lol

Aj really has no excuse not to win, he’s got the size, youth and skill over him

Anything less than a convincing win will be a disappointment

 

[spiderjericho]

Wait so that Bellator LW Grand Prix fight is on a Rizin card?

Might as well had thrown it on UFC IFW card

At least there would be more eyes on it.

I find it a lil odd they’re doing their inaugural flyweight title fight against a rizin fighter

I mean it’s cool- but if other guy wins then bellator has no flyweight champ? Lol

 

[spiderjericho]

AlJo gotta fight 18X a year but we can’t get no Khamzat.

So right now Horiguchi is their only BW? Edit: So Horiguchi is supposed to fight a guy from Rizin for the BW title? If the other guy wins then what? Who does Bellator have on their FW roster?

I didn’t even know Bellator was crossing over with Rizin again.

It's the FW title fight

Horiguchi will fight at FW against Rizin FW guy

But that was my question, what if Rizin FW wins the Bellator title lol

It hasn't been announced who else is on the Bellator FW roster

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dude, wut. Fedor and them boys always rollin weird as hell bruh

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Uh, 5 days late on this but uhhhh, yeah. Come on back

 

[xbiker47]

Felt like zabit didn’t have that much hype when he was fighting, but considering how long he’s been away and how far the ufc has come I couldn’t even imagine the hype train he would get if he returned.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Bruh zabit had hella hype, everyone was saying he was the future champ

 

[whtascene]

In the road to UFC fights in Shanghai.

 

[jewseejay]

Zabit is changed. He doesn't look like the same man. The expressions. The eyes. I think he was really going thru some real **** before. He looks like a giant boulder was removed from his back.
