Jones skin is about as thick as an egg shell so Dana and the UFC has always been very cautious in their words towards/about Jones.

Will be interesting to see what the real story is here. I'm sure we'll get some type of security BS answer. I highly doubt its Conor on a bender. He would've been completely sober by press meeting time. More likely maybe him and his team had a massive falling out this weekend and Conor is just...

He has shown he has a decent striking game. Better than Khabib. But why risk fighting the fight to your opponents strong suit? The longer is stays standing the better chance Dustin can turn the lights out and that is his only way to victory.

That is a pretty dumb take on DC's part. Nobody is training wrestling for 2 years and competing in the Olympics unless Antarctica is fielding a team.

So your saying he is due?????

My guess would be if his next fight is in the UFC(last of his contract, unless he resigned before this Dustin fight as I know they were talking) he'd fight Max for the BMF title.

This sounds like an April Fool's joke. 300M to do this shit. Start your own MMA org at that point.

They won't stop just like every other business in the world until the employees tells them they can't. Fighters can bitch all they want about the UFC taking advantage of them but until they take steps to change it, they are just talking to a brick wall. Happens in all major sports. Eventually...

Hard to fault PFL for trying to resign these guys for less. Lima at this point probably doesn't deserve to be paid based on what he did years ago. He was just a little more open to it all than Gegard was. Coker even told Gegard they weren't resigning him at his current pay according to Ariel and...

I don't think any of us knows there exact plans, but been a long time since we had org actually swallow up another big org. They obviously have some sort of a plan and have group that is looking to do big things. So many orgs outside of the UFC have just become stale and none of them are much of...

That all goes back to a good fighters doesn't always equal big revenue for an org. Biggest decision the UFC ever made was to promote the UFC over any fighter first and foremost. They built a brand, when every other org wants to build fighters "first" mentality. Competitors have always talk...

Probably should retire if he drops this fight. Really nothing left for him to prove. The dude has been fighting for 15 years and about 40 fights on him with the whos whos of the LW division. But with a Conor fight maybe hanging out there that is a lot of money to turn down.

Really, what is the purpose of this in Ireland?? If you don't know there fighting I highly doubt you'll know there is fight presser for it.

Bellator was dead in the water. It was going no where. This is what happens when your owned by a massive media company. You don't come through on your end they more or less put you out in the pasture. They weren't even able to sell Bellator. They basically folded for some PFL stock in the end...

So the UFC should just throw the chips up and let them land where they land, ok. Flip side lets be smart about our matchmaking and help build up fighters that may turn into stars, all the while building more and more revenue. Sugar is a good example of the UFC being smart with the match...

What, a promoter down playing a fighter that left their org, you don't say. <DCWhoa>

It's kind of dick move isn't it???? He also kind of screwed Gegard at the same time. They already told Gegard they weren't resigning him at the same rate weeks before this.

I get both side of this. It's really no different than what happens in the NFL almost everyday. At certain point in your career you may not be earning what they are paying you with your performance on the field. So they come and try to renegotiate with you. If you say no then they usually end...

I think Jones was the one twisting the UFC's hand on this fight. The UFC doesn't really get along with Stipe and his people for years now and he is basically done so why bother with him. It was a concession they gave into to get Jones back.

Anderson Silva and this promoter should be ashamed of themselves with this boxing match up. It's nothing but a money grab. I don't blame Chael as he'll tell you this doesn't make sense on any level outside of payday.
