That's fair.

TBH, PRIDE as well as K-1 Hero's paid fighters very well. I think ONE FC also give out healthy contracts as well. We will see if that will have an effect on UFC payscale.

pride is still the greatest promotion :proud:

sad to say the yakuza gangsters that owned pride paid better then dana and the fertittas :lol:

who are the real gangsters?

So this guy:

(1) got arrested for driving drunk and wrecking (thank God he didn't kill anyone)

(2) was the first guy to ever cause an event to be cancelled because his opponent was hurt and he refused to fight a can from a lower weight class he was sure to beat

(3) threatened to murder someone on TV

(4) failed a drug test a month before a title fight for using some form of cocaine/crack

And the UFC pays him at least $500,000 and says it is proud of him.

Wow, Dana. Just wow.

UFC has zero integrity. They released Jason High for shoving a ref, one that fucked him over noless.

:thumbsdown:

Good practice match for Conor :lol:

Cowboy vs Benson was a draw, whoever is saying Benson won is clearly ******ed. It was a glorified sparring match, nothing else.

Shame Aldo didn't get in the ring after that with Conor.

Cerrone vs Henderson could have gone either way. I just love the new age MMA fans who overexaggerates and calling this a "robbery".

Sean Spencer was robber, Henderson fought a close fight and probably didn't get the nod bc of the take downs. I scored the fight either as a draw or slightly edging it towards Cerrone.

----------------------------------------------------------------

McGregor - not impressed at all. Siver never really impressed me and is one of those fighters that is straight forward, does not have good movement, and is extremely predictable. I don't see how beating this Siver gets McGregor a title shot.

Sage · Jan 19, 2015

his mouth got him the title shot, I'll be surprised if aldo doesn't take him out in the first round.

McGregor is a tricky guy. But all of his opponents are spoon fed and he benefit from a time period where UFC lacks a true star after losing GSP and Silva.

Besides Ronda, no other UFC champion has the star power that GSP and Silva once had. Cain is constantly injured, Dillashaw is new (and really who cares about 135), Aldo has been cruising through his wins, and Jones just got popped. Hell, even Chael Sonnen is not around.

You can see Dana trying to build McGregor up. I stand by my statement that until he fights someone with a legit wrestling back ground, I don't consider him a serious contender. At the very least, UFC gain another guy who can promote fights like Chael Sonnen. Don't get me wrong, Connor puts up very exciting fights and its fun to watch him, but to act like Siver was actual competition is just a joke.

So, I've read CroCop is coming back to ufc? Would be awesome.

Sage · Jan 21, 2015

I assume they're going to have crocop fight brock this year or at most early next year.

The sooner, the better! I wonder in what shape he'll be. I remember his last fights, he wasn't as sharp as before and that was like 3 years ago. At his age, it's not evident to make a return. He also seemed more nervous, constantly suffering from these weird ticks with his arm, head and shoulder. Although he said he's always suffering from these ticks after a fight, but still..

I'm also really really looking forward to Anderson Silva's first fight, since the leg-break. You think he will have trouble with Diaz? In the past, the answer was simple, but now with being so long out of the game, maybe everything could happen.

crocop vs gonzaga on april 11

I'm looking forward to the silva diaz fight too, I think silva will win this one.

I'm interested to see if they really will give silva the title shot if he beats diaz, because you got jacare and the winner of rockhold/machida who are more deserving atm.

Curupira · Jan 24, 2015

This man will be fighting in the UFC tonight, looking forward to it.

Curupira · Jan 25, 2015

Wow Rumble.

I would say style makes match ups and I still think Gustafsson is the worst match up for Jones

Wow is indeed the word. I honestly didn't except him to be able to close the distance so well, and set up his punches like that.

If he gets into range with Jones, the later will get fucked up. The dude seriously hits like train :eek:

Silva vs Diaz up next, so excited to see the Spider back :thumbsup:

I'm excited for machida rockhold.

MilanMB · Apr 16, 2015

I'm not, Machida probably gonna lose

Sage · Apr 17, 2015

close call but yeh I'm favoring rockhold as well.

did anyone follow the aldo mcgregor tour last month? dude is a robot saying the same shit every single time.

at first he was entertaining but now he's just repetitive and annoying + aldo is a bitch for not knocking his teeth in when he took the belt.

I'm aware that he's playing this character to promote the fight and doing a fantastic job at it but he's just getting so obnoxious.

btw :lol:

at the final 186 card, they should thank god if they get over 150k buys for this one.

MilanMB · Apr 17, 2015

yeah that card is really bad :lol:

MilanMB · Apr 19, 2015

Rockhold so brutal.

Edit:

How the hell does he make 185

seveners · Apr 19, 2015

Machida should retire. Sad but true :cry:
