Good for Nate, I think he said he won't fight again until it's Conor 3

 

[deep]

Also for once, I think I believe Glenn Trowbridge got it right

 

[IWasBored]

Probably his most sensible scorecard yet. Good for you, Mr Trollbridge.

 

[deep]

Okay this is the first
there's no post fight press conference

 

[IWasBored]

Wait so I'm not just incapable of finding it on this app design?

according to mmajunkie 2 mil for Diaz and 3 for McGregor as far as disclosed payouts go.

oh I totally read your post wrong.

This says they get that plus could get up to 10 mil, I guess they have part of PPVS

McGregor said this week that he was making more than $10million while Diaz is likely in a similar range.

it is quite stupid that there were 2-3 thousand unsold seats last night
the 4 billion dollar UFC is way too fucking greedy, why have so many if any 3000 dollar seats, brokers got caught dumping them for 2000 dollars and 300 seats for 200, way to treat your fans and the brokers that support your greed machine
at least they did not make this a $79 or $99 ppv,I figure it is only a matter of time before fightpass fees and ppv gets this stupid, too.


better to leave a little money on the table and have fans thinking you are reasonable than showing them you are just a bunch of money grubers

This UFC on Fox 21 Saturday night looks like a pretty damn good card

 

[IWasBored]

Nah it's not bad at all. This would usually be where I say I hate a fight like this Condit Maia one cos I'm a big fan of both of them and I don't want either guy to lose, but I'm pretty sure one look over at my avatar and you know that's not really true.

Ben Henderson has looked so bad lately, not sure what the deal is.

 

[deep]

he is always a slow starter, also he did not want to get KOed, two losses would have been really bad for him, we will see what he has left against Chandler, if somehow, he pulls that off, it could be exciting for him again, that Orange County crowd seemed not too impressed with the Red King, their were some good fights on that card.

He looked really good.

 

[deep]

Does Maia have enough M in his MMA game?

 

[deep]

Who gets 50k bonus money tonight?
So far my guess is
Pettis and PVZ
I wish they would Alvey, his ever pregnant wife and 6 kids some extra money

 

[deep]

Ok
Put Maia in for the belt.

 

[IWasBored]

I am happy

When he finally gets that title shot I'm going to be like JT before a GSP fight level of nervous excited.


JT

 

[u2popmofo]

Good stuff.

 

[IWasBored]

See, Chael's not a bad dude. he just plays one on tv. Really shitty about his daughter.

I really would like this CM Punk thing to happen and be over with so I can stop hearing about it. I just really do not care.

 

[deep]

I kind of hope the kid beats him because I think the kid is legit and should have a career in MMA
That said I'm really not a punk hater I feel he has a more legitimate career potentially in MMA than Lesnar ever had , Lesnar was always a juice monkey and a fraud.

 

[deep]

Recently I changed my approach to how I watch the MMA fights I no longer get overly invested in wanting a certain outcome.
Now the only outcome I want is for a good clean fight the best fighter to win
and good judging.
Having seen my favorites Tate and Rose lose recently, it was easier not to get overly disappointed because I feel those were legit fights and the best fighter won and I can't blame the judging.

I would like to see Bethe KO Eye only because she has the testes to step up to 140 and fight Cyborg

 

[u2popmofo]

In many situations it's easy for me to write off the personal attachment and just enjoy the fight. In many other situations it's impossible for me to not get overly involved in the result of a fight. Totally understand the feeling in either direction. Definitely felt bad for Bonoz2012 last week.

I'm not a hater, I just don't care. But lol to a more legit career. No guy with 0 fights is coming in on two years training and winning a belt at welterweight.
