Dana is probably fukkin Ronda she ain't getting punished.

I really wouldn't be surprised, at the very least sniffed her muffin....you can tell from the tweets above that his hands are tied with something

lol at thinking Ronda has sex with men.

Ooooooh? care to share?

Very obvious that she is in love with Nick Diaz

Dana is probably fukkin Ronda she ain't getting punished.

all the nameless and disposable p*ssy he has access to and u think he'd be so thirsty that hed compromise himself and his wealth (potentially) over a roll in the hay with one of his most popular employees? Not likely. More plausable theory is they have too much invested in ronda (ie TUF) to suspend her like mitrione.

There is a difference between asking a loaded question and just being a douche- Ariel is an instigator. He asked Ronda's Mom about CyGOAT and was smiling smugly when she started cursing her out and calling her names. Fallon Fox isnt in the UFC, so what has her fighting got to do with the way UFC fighters scratch their crotch? If you watch the clip, from his expression Ariel knew what Matt was saying was going to get him in trouble and for the sake of his reputation as a "reputable journalist", he could have intervened but he wants the ratings

I am not sure how it works with shows that stream on the net but I doubt they are dependent on ratings.

I understand that Matt is a grown man, but now Ariel has slightly tarnished his reputation because people will associate him with this.

And that's the crux of it mitrione is a grown man with a functioning brain. He lives in america knows how PC crazy things are. He knew fallon fox was a dicey subject and he just fell into it. Nothing he said was that terrible he was just a lil loose with the sick freak stuff. I am sure the ufc issued a code of conduct brief to all fighters he cud of used discretion but didn't that's on him not ariel

Good, Ariel is a demonic journalist

aren't u goin overboard here? I mean really? An mma report that tries to instigate a feud, who would have thunk it

in my opinion. He like the guy in high school who tells 2 people the other said something about them and then when they fight each other and neither individual knows why they hate the other person.

is it his fault that the mma fanbase need to be sold on the much propped notion that "these guys really don't like eachother" to maximise profits? Without ariel all we will have is turds like kevin iole who ask such thoughtful questions like "when u got that KO I noticed u did a lil fist pump" "did it feel good?"

I like MMA but the fact that its largely followed by whites really restricts it from ever crossing over. First u cant taunt cuz it'll be frowned upon and seen as showboating.Can't confidently say you will beat your opponent in interviews because that will be deemed too cocky. Now reporters can't try to antagonise fighters into making headlining statements that could possibly sell a fight because its "instigating"

 

[Screwface Exchange]

here's da main thing, how big of a deal really is a UFC suspension? Matt still gonna get his purse from da last fight. It wasn't a ppv card so no ppv % to divvy up. Wha he won't be able to fight for the next 2 or 3 months, he probably wouldn't have been fighting anyways. He still gonna b down in florida wit da blackzillians partyin n actin a fool. Then Joe silva gonna call up n say ur fighting in August, and he'll say ok send fax the contract and i'll sign and done.

I'm not as well informed on his bedroom habits as you seem to be.

Are you kidding me? I guess you haven't heard the word on the street about his other indiscretions....He has made no secret that he has a crush on her and you can't guarantee that he doesn't know what that thang smell like. There is a price for fame however, IMO, Ronda's light has dimmed slightly now that CyGOAT is back that is why she is sitting at home cutting tee shirts up and posting them on twitter


But anyway

Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Keith Kizer confirmed the below salaries with MMAJunkie.

Urijah Faber $55,000/$55,000
Scott Jorgensen $23,500/$23,500

Miesha Tate $28,000/$28,000
Cat Zingano $7,000/$7,000

Gabriel Gonzaga $24,000/$24,000
Travis Browne $20,000/$20,000

Uriah Hall $8,000/$8,000
Kelvin Gastelum $8,000/$8,000

The figures do not represent an accurate assessment of each fighter's income.

Fighters bear significant costs including training expenses, a percentage to management, a percentage to the trainer, insurance, licenses, and taxes.

On the income side, sponsorship money can be substantial, although they have dropped markedly over the past couple of years. Further, the UFC often gives out undisclosed "locker room" bonuses for exceptional performance. In addition there are publicly announced 'of the Night' bonuses that are not reflected above.

Lastly, many fighters earn income from teaching, from appearances, and in many cases from regular employment in the non fighting space

I'm not as well informed on his bedroom habits as you seem to be.

its not so much about studying his bedroom routine as it is about assessing the whole situation unlike a pre-teen

he's not likely to state his core fanbase have got it wrong is he? What better way to maximise rousey's appeal than by playing into the hysteria, while still scheming. Those comments might have a different meaning depending on who u ask.Those words coming from a horny virgin clearly means he wants to bust a nut. But from a business man that is about to sign a hot commodity it can mean another thing entirely, like he sees $$$. But alas we will just agree to disagree.

But anyway

but who is cat zigano tho? Was she even in strikeforce? I hate to be blunt but if u aren't cyborg, ronda, tate or kauffman u don't deserve shyt

Two-time welterweight boxing champion Andre Berto discussed potentially fighting in the UFC with the organization's president, Dana White, a company official confirmed on Friday.
The fighter said in a recent interview that he ran into White a few weeks ago in Los Angeles, and the two had a conversation about the boxer transitioning over to the Las Vegas-based MMA promotion.
"I talked to Dana White about this ... the last time I [saw] him," Berto said in a recent video. "Don't be surprised if I try to get in that thing and win a title. I'll be the first fighter to win a boxing championship and a UFC mixed martial arts world championship."
Berto explained that he and White bumped into each other roughly three weeks ago, and the conversation included White praising the boxer for his fighting style. White also said that he sees the fighter being one of the only competitors keeping boxing alive, according to Berto.
If a UFC debut happens for the boxer, Berto would be the second of his family to compete in the Octagon. His father, Dieusel Berto, participated in UFC 10 in 1996 when Andre was 12 years old. Berto's brother, James Edson Berto, is a professional MMA fighter and currently competes for Bellator Fighting Championships.
Although the two had a discussion about Berto in the Octagon, no indication was given in regards to the fighter being offered a contract to compete in the MMA promotion.
"Don't be surprised. It might be," he said.
The last time a professional boxing champion made their way into the UFC was when James Toney fought Randy Couture at UFC 118 in 2010. Couture made quick work of Toney, submitting the boxer in the first round after securing a takedown that put the fight on the ground.
Berto also revealed that his sister, Revelina Berto, will try out for Season 18 of "The Ultimate Fighter," the first season in which females will compete on the show. The season will feature teams of both men and women coached by UFC women's champion Ronda Rousey and the winner of tomorrow night's TUF 17 Finale fight between Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano.

Just saw the weighins and I never knew cat zigano had a body like that. I know the ufc and a lot of mma heads are already booking a tate/rousey tuf show (me included) but I know tate and she just does not have that moxy in her dna. Zigano plays spoiler in probably an uneventful affair

 

[So UnThotful]

Bubba works out in Jon Jones' gym. The rest of them dont. Pretty simple

 

[So UnThotful]

so where you train gets you a better spot on the card,? Bubba lost not once but twice on the show(finish twice may i add) and scared shytless, he couldn't sleep leading up to the hall fight

a more deserving person deserved that spot IMO

Zigano has fought no one. Tate has quality wins over Kedzie and Coenen. If she doesn't have her usual meltdown, tate should win
