There's power in a union. Unless you're Cowboy and you don't understand why it's called a union in the first place.

On Chael Sonnen's last podcast he claimed Hughs, Lidell and Forrest were on $30k a month. Forrest turned up for work after accepting a job and had no department, desk or anything. Just kinda fell into it showing up every day.

JBJ somehow got off with no fine and just a one-year suspension from NSAC for his dick pill failure. He can return in July, assuming he somehow manages to avoid breaking any major rules or laws for the next 7+ months.

When I was watching that embedded a few days ago and saw the scene my mind jumped to two things:

-Conor pigging out before the first Diaz fight
-This is Pettis' second fight at FW, and he came in at the limit (146) for the first one and he talked about not cutting much weight at LW, so maybe steak is not a good idea? Clearly he doesn't have experience cutting 10+ pounds.

To be fair, Travis had a lot more notice to prepare for his title shot.

Until Daniel Cormier did what Daniel Cormier does, Pettis was merely preparing for a shot at being on a really long list of people Conor McGregor will never fight.

No.

Conor should be given the interim belt imo.

Sucks for Holloway, because if he wins he's not interim champ now.

Unless the UFC just decide to give him the belt then anyway, I guess.


e: Apparently, Holloway still becomes IC champ, Pettis won't.

ya know UFC could have just had conor and aldo fight at 148 pounds which apparently is good enough for "winner is a champion" bout.

Anthony Pettis imploding is fun to watch.

I hope this eventually leads to his lovely bar closing so the garbage clientele can quit polluting my favorite strip club next door.
