Lower calories. Lower carbs. Lower fat. Honestly, eat just sirloin steaks for a week and you will keep most your muscle and shred fat like nothing. Can mix in some ribeyes but the calorie density makes it harder to be in a negative caloric balance. Unless you find some ephedra, there...

What's amazing is that the main event was supposed to be Jones vs. Cormier. Seriously would have been one of the best cards ever had it been on there. Was still awesome, but the main event sucked hard.

I was lucky enough to be there, what an event!! Best part, Mighty Mouse was the headliner so tickets were below retail since nobody cares about him. Got lower level seats for $125. In Vegas, they are normallly $500+. (And really made me understand why Dana doesn't want to pay him anything.)...

This makes no sense. Rory lost to Lawler and was absolutely schooled by Wonderboy. Woodley beat both of them, but lost to Rory. What does this mean? It means MMAMath doesn't work and so the champ is the one who beat the champ. (When the champ was champ.) I love Rory and I'd pick him...

UFC numbers on FS1 are amazing for FS1. Seriously, they pay Skip Bayless like $6M a year and he pulls less than 100K viewers. It's insane how bad FS1 is. Spike is an established channel with much higher casual viewer rates. This means more people are used to tuning in. The product is mostly...

Munoz not being picked up (Burt's fault or not) was the cause of the situation, the reason he left is because a UFC executive treated him like shit. Burt is on record saying he talked to Munoz after and holds no beef with him at all.

lol, the one thing Dana has done right is focus on Conor. It's impossible to argue that. Even if he built up multiple stars somehow, they'd produce almost no revenue compared to Conor. (Agree with you on Bisping, though there is no MW star that is going to sell more.) Truth is WME gutted the...

Munoz was never a ripped dude. Always felt like he was a guy who was awesome despite his genetics. Now that he's not training 4 hours a day, it makes sense. Met him at a couple UFCs. Can say without a doubt he was the nicest guy I've ever met. Just insanely outgoing and kind. I'd gladly buy...

You may be right and Dana certainly is an asshat, but in this particular situation Hunt is clearly in the wrong and that's not debatable. So the right answer is take the damn tests and take your big paycheck. Problem is he knows if the tests go poorly, his career (at least in the USA) is over...

$3.5M in 3 years. 50% to taxes is probably around correct. 10% for manager/gym total unless he's getting hosed. (certainly possible, he's not that bright.) That leaves around $1.5M. Average American family makes that in 30 years. If he ends up broke, it's sad, but it's his own doing. (Though it...

Exactly. Shields got what was coming to him. He got his ass kicked, even from the bottom. Lay n pray doesn't work against a guy who can hit you harder from the bottom than you can hit from the top. IMO, Hendo's giant punches on UNCONSCIOUS opponents (Bisping, Wandy) is far worse than what...

Maybe Palhares was eye raking, but after rewatching, it doesn't look crazy. Fighters often rake the face, it's not uncommon. Ultimately, we have to have proof. The views we have don't show proof, sadly. What we do have proof of is Palhares beating the shit out of Jake, even from the bottom...

Classic "Big fish in little pond". He's a solid fighter, but very good chance he is a mid level guy in the UFC and never gets even to 30/30 there. Good for him. He shouldn't leave as long as he is getting paid that much. WSOF is so small and unknown, no way the UFC ever offers him a "Eddie...

Joe has RIDICULOUS knowledge about stand-up. Karate, TKD, Muay Thai, you name it. He's a huge fan of the stand-up sports. I doubt 1% of this forum could put their knowledge base against his and come out ahead. BUT, he's also a passionate fight fan who is prone to hyperbole. (Though not...

Bellator zombies bashing Zuffa zombies. You can bash Jimmo without being pro or anti Zuffa. Jimmo was, for the most part, exceptionally unexceptional. I'd argue has basically zero value over replacement. Doesn't sell a ticket and it wouldn't shock me if he actually lowered TV ratings when...

Possible, but Joe sure doesn't seem like that kind of guy. And it's hard to believe that Joe was turning down money on regular occassion, money is a good motivator.

Maybe, but he fired his manager. Why would he and TJ do that without good reason? The best managers will still find outside sponsors for their fighters. Clearly Joe didn't believe his team fits that bill.

He was trying to make a point, just did it poorly. Besides that, he's just wrong. Managers matter. Few casual fans give a shit about Mighty Mouse, yet he landed Microsoft as a major sponsor. Why? Because his management team actually did their job. MMA has been full of shitty managers for...

Doesn't matter. His shorts and banner were seen in front of hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions. A good manager could get more than that.

This is nuts: http://www.mmafighting.com/2015/5/23/8647347/joseph-benavidez-leaves-management-company-in-wake-of-reebok-deal Joe made less than $15k a fight in sponsorships. How bad are his managers? Or are other fighters full of shit? My guess is that Joe's manager's were too busy...
