Failed boxers get into MMA, iz normalI think we should cancel MMA. All anyone wants to do is box anyway.

Those were not Jake Paul cards on netflix...I thought Aldo boxed like 2-3 times already?
I wouldn't be shocked if it is somewhat related to contract issues. Also wouldn't be shocked if Dana begged Aldo to help fill out a card in Brazil. Reminder Periera got offered a short turn around if he stomps Hill out fast.
I like pantoja but he's not a big name. They have to sell tickets
I love Jose like everybody else but he's not making big bucks boxing. He's not gonna fight one of the best 135ers (Tank, Loma, Shakur, Zepeda). And if he did he would get murked. No one is gonna pay him millions to fight Bobby Trashcan at the Motel 6 ballroom.
Dana used to box, he’s no pussyIt makes him feel like a tough guy even though he's a pussy sir.
That’s fucking illegalSerious question:
What would happen if Aldo immediately gave up once the fight starts, just as a giant fuck you to the hyper-capitalist UFC machine?
I'm not following. Why would he come back to UFC to "finish contract and box" if he was retired and already boxed in April and July 2023?Rumour according to his unnamed sources, @ 8:13 - https://heynottheface.substack.com/...mpaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true
Says Aldo wanted to box on the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson card, but he needed the UFC's permission because he has one fight left on his UFC contract. UFC didn't give him permission, so he's returning to UFC 301 to finish off his contract and be free.
If true, I guess this means he's not looking to get a title shot. I figured Aldo was coming back for one payday and to fight in Rio a last time (instead of retiring in Salt Lake), but it seems it's not even that.
Thoughts?
I don’t think that is the case. He already secured his release. He was in talks with boxing Mayweather last year. Saying he isn’t allowed to box on Jake Paul’s card doesn’t make sense. The Tyson event is in July so to block a person from fighting so you let him fight two months earlier?Those were not Jake Paul cards on netflix...
They do it a case by case basis, for whatever reason Dana doesn't want him to fight in the Jake Paul card, they letting him fight two months before at 301 has nothing to do with it, is not about timing is about the event itself, maybe they see netflix as a competitor for espn+ or Dana just fucking hate Jake who knows but this has been reported by several journalist sincr the fight was announced, I doubt that story came out of nowhere.I don’t think that is the case.

This scenario in Brazil is more like they needed star power and decided to throw him extra money.
I mean... watching him fight in a Motel 6 ballroom would be pretty nostalgicI love Jose like everybody else but he's not making big bucks boxing.

Think about it. If it is a case by case basis. They want to block him from competing in Jake Paul’s event. Why let him finish out his contract so he is eligible for the event?They do it a case by case basis, for whatever reason Dana doesn't want him to fight in the Jake Paul card, they letting him fight two months before at 301 has nothing to do with it, is not about timing is about the event itself, maybe they see netflix as a competitor for espn+ or Dana just fucking hate Jake who knows but this has been reported by several journalist sincr the fight was announced, I doubt that story came out of nowhere.
Because they have to offer him a fight or the contract is null.Think about it. If it is a case by case basis. They want to block him from competing in Jake Paul’s event. Why let him finish out his contract so he is eligible for the event?
