i have a big problem with fighters making 5-15 grand a fight

theres just something really wrong with that


then you subtract what they owe for training camps :sadcam:

Even with sponsors and that "behind the scenes UFC money"

its very :demonic:

but he confessed that he walks around at 210-190lbs so by virtue he could make MW. Look @ aldo, he's done his business at FW and being the competitor that he is he's set to move up. Its just the natural progression of any true mmatist that's in the sport for the challenge. GSP isn't being challenged but is resigned to staying @ WW because if he were to move up hed get exposed.I will never understand why the 2nd bj penn fight was so talked about, cuz using your logic that didn't make sense :mjpls:

Your right about all this sh1t... especially GSP. GSP has some HARD CORE fan's tho. You can't even get into a conversation with most people about him going up from ww. They need him to dominate where he's at because FOR SOME REASON,, J jones, silva, and even freakin Ben Hen all have maddd haters. Those guys just aren't liked and loved the way GSP is.

Anybody else annoyed that jones is wasting a title defense against a guy who has no business fighting him in the first place?

That's politics of the game... and side effect of increasing popularity of the sport. put them on the TV show.. then have them fight..

Besides, who can challenge Jones? Dan Henderson?- who is about to barely beat Evans? Machida- anyone that I can even think of would get elbowed to the ground by Jones...
So y not hype of a BS fight like this and bring in more fans and money?

I think they refer to the TUF contract as a "$100,000 contract" but I think they're 6-fight contracts so they're really making about $17, 000.00 a fight.


I dunno, I'm less sympathetic when it comes to employment....nobody twists your arm to fight for a living...if they don't like the money, then just get into another line of work....they give you bonuses when you fight hard/perform well...they pay for your health care, etc. And they have so many fighters under contract...not everybody can make Anderson Silva money.

Jones would beat the bottom rung HW's but he wouldn't beat the top guys.

Don't under estimate jones. His skills are unusual because people don't see those random elbows n sh1t coming.

Anyway, women competing is ill to me. I wish there were more. Carmouche is my favorite. I don't think anyone can beat that one girl whose making all the money with endorsements n sh1t; she submits everyone with the same move (and does it with the strength of a man)

Plus Demetrious Johnson (FW champ) is on that tatecarmouche ticket.. again, I'm prolly bias cuz I'm a black fighter... he's yet another black champion w a belt - so u know I'm watching.
