Word from Paul’s camp is nothing official just yet but assuming they want to announce it themselves.
It's sad because if they just offered them 50/50K, they would probably get everyone. For Parnasse, 100K/100K would have probably done itThe UFC is going to fumble some of the best prospects in the world because they still refuse to pay fighters what they're worth. Look, I'm not one who dives as deep into fighters finances as others, but it sucks they keep doing it and it's costing them signing some of the best talent available. Sad it's 2024 we're still having the same conversations.
“The kid doesn’t want to fight.”It's sad because if they just offered them 50/50K, they would probably get everyone. For Parnasse, 100K/100K would have probably done it
Crazy how both beat Morgan Charriere who's in the UFC and just lost to Chepe Mariscal.Paul Hughes vs Salahdine Parnasse
Book it Ray Sefo
Not only for regional guys, but for UFC fighters as well.Chance to win that million is big for any regional guy.
The thing is only one guy does that and it’s usually not the best, it’s just the guy who doesn’t get injured or have any issues with visas and stuffNot only for regional guys, but for UFC fighters as well.
The grand majority of the fighters in the UFC won't make that in 3-4 fights.
Massive bummer. But he’s only 26. I imagine if he keeps winning and/or the PFL shuts down we’ll see him in the UFC.
28-32 is prime. This makes no sense.26 isn't young, it's his prime. Honestly the UFC should be trying to get top talent by their mid twenties at the latest. Most guys are beginning amateurs by 15-16 and going pro at around 18 now. They should be trying to sign top talent onto the contender series by like 21-24 ideally, and willing to pay legitimate sums for dudes in their mid twenties who are clearly superfuckinglegit like Islam Omarov, Salahdine Parnasse, Losene Keita etc. Signing guys are like 28-32 is basically unfortunate, particularly at 170lbs and below, but like the latest to still reasonably do it.
