Bubba Smith posted:It's only been a month since Brown vs Lawler but we went an entire month with barely any significant fun fights and it feels so good to finally have A Jacare match, Overeem match, Hunt match, Gomi match and Cerrone match all in one month. We made it. Rothwell vs Overeem is going to be the greatest fight in history.

Yuriy posted:I've been talking about this idea for a while and wishing it was a thing for Fight Pass/Fight Night cards on FS1 and it looks like they finally will be UFC already does this. They do lots of features on the Fight Nights and there's a countdown to the Fox shows that airs on Fox. It's good to do more but it isn't going to make much of a difference since no one watches FS1. Edit: They definitely need to cut down on the talking head segments. They generally add nothing other than 2 guys pick 1 fighter and the other picks the other. If they aired more features like the one they aired on Costa (before he got thrashed) they'd be better off. You can't do one for everyone though, maybe one or two more? With Bellator I never remember a thing about the fighters because every Russian and Brazilian gets the same translator and all the packages look the same.

Bubba Smith posted:TJ the bulldog Dillashaw has made a ton of money this year, I bet. If Lawler/Hendricks II somehow ends up in 2014 Lawler has a chance (although I think he'll lose that fight) but otherwise it's between Cerrone and Dillashaw right now. I guess I wouldn't count Werdum out either just because there's a chance Cain injures himself, doesn't pull out and Werdum pulls off a shocking upset.

1st AD posted:I would fire any of my employees that did #1 or #2 That's what's baffling about it. If it were Lauzon or someone you could at least go "I can see why Dana is loyal to him even though it turned out he's an immense shithead/psychopath." Unless Feijao owes Dana a lot of money I don't get this at all. Maybe he loves Thiago for monkey pissing hot after Vera and in the process giving us the gift of Rothwell/Vera?

Intel&Sebastian posted:I would bet money that the "other side" of the story Dana referenced is "she was cheating on him" and he figures that balances out Either that or somehow he didn't actually do it. I don't believe that since it is so common for authorities to just give up on domestic violence cases at the first chance they get, but it is weird all charges were dropped. He threatened multiple people, in public, while armed, resisted arrest while armed and more, so it's kind of odd all charges would be dropped. Her cooperation shouldn't even be necessary for some of them. So maybe there's something to there being two sides, it just doesn't seem possible. It's also just so, so dumb for UFC to hire him back after the Grispi and War Machine arrests without some genuine proof he's completely innocent that seriously, what are they thinking?

He's full of poo poo. He might be going into surgery but I doubt it is for the reasons he says.

Ariza posted:If I go to watch this event tomorrow afternoon on Fight Pass, will they spoil the outcome of the fight on the website? I'm not signed up anymore and I don't remember what the main page looks like for members. I'm afraid I'll see "Watch Nelson knock out Hunt" or some such nonsense and I'll lose all desire to watch it. There will be fight metric data under the video which will spoil things so be careful not to scroll down. The Fight Pass site itself doesn't spoil things (or I haven't noticed any) but if you want to be careful just go there now and grab the URLs for the streams.

colonel_korn posted:The number of views on their youtube page for the various countdown specials is pretty telling. That video has been up the longest of the three, and it's only been up a day so you really have no idea what kind of exposure it's had on UFC's site and social media compared to the other two. Conor might be the biggest star on the show, but this isn't really evidence.

Scrapez posted:But is boxing really bringing in that much more in PPV and gate revenue than UFC events? Fighters don't just make what is reported there is a lot more paid to them than what is made public for various reasons. Floyd is paid so much Showtime can only break even on his fights if they do something like 900,000 buys. It is a very bad comparison. Look at the money the other fighters on the Floyd card made and compare them to the fighters on this card.

Either way the cost of actually broadcasting the event is much more expensive than the venue fee. We don't really know the details of UFC's break even point, but for WWE it was about 70,000 buys (when they were PPV oriented.) UFC pays its talent a much higher portion of their revenue than WWE so their break even point can be much higher (when fighters with PPV points and a high downside fight.)

Also, wasn't everybody riding the Belfort bus for that fight or was it just me? I hate being so alone in my MMA life. It was Bonnar, Bonnar came the closest.
