i was referring to when you said "UFC dsoesn't sign elite/world class fighters for whatever reasons" i'm suggesting the reason is most likely money, as you said with Askar Askarov. i feel like at least a lot of the Russians are state sponsored and are making really good money without fighting in...
i agree to some extent because i've made that argument before, but it kind of goes both ways. guys aren't getting paid a lot now which is why they're constantly sitting out and/or looking to become double champs because that's the only way they can gain some bargaining power and preserve their...
don't you think it's money? a lot of the Russians are getting sponsored by oligarchs and shit. i think if UFC was offering boxing level money they'd be way more hesitant to pull a Zabit/Askarov.
i care in a way that i want them to get paid, but i don't care about it in the way that i feel like there isn't anything to talk about. the problem is simple the fighters. they don't want to stand up and do something about it. every other sport has strikes over pay, MMA has NEVER had that. the...
see, i thought JDS outclassed him in that fight. for me, i think he'd have been REALLY hard to deal with if he'd wrestle more in his fights. him being decent at wrestling and striking make both of those things go up at least 1 level from where he is, especially if he knows how to transition...
he's too big to be unstoppable. his shitty cardio, low output, and lumbering movements aren't going to change no matter how much he trains because all of that is due to his physical size.
you know what's funny though? how the fighters from the top combat sports promotion leave to make MORE money in the SHITTIER BOXING PROMOTIONS
also how the $690m PFL was able to poach the UFC HW champion from the $11b UFC
aaaand this is exactly why i think fighter pay is useless to talk about. when any other sport or career for that matter feels like they're being jipped, you know what they do? they strike. MMA fighter is the only profession i ever heard of where none of the victims try to help themselves and in...
why would the judge apologize? why wouldn't he just double down and be like "that's your opinion, my opinion is you lost" seems much safer from a job securtity perspective than to admit you are incompetent.
