Every pre workout that was worth a poo poo 5 years ago contained some sort of meth and/or steroid...and it was glorious.

Now they're just all caffeine powder with a bunch of fillers and trace amounts of poo poo that doesn't matter.

I went with Mighty Mouse because he's still Mighty Mouse but he also put in two of the best performances of the year of any fighter and topped it off with the suplex armbar. No one can touch him.

congratulations on picking a known coward as "fighter" of the year, i'm sure powerbombing those cans was tough work

Fight and you get paid

Those of you saying there’s “literally” no other middleweights available have never heard of this thing called a catchweight.

If he did in fact turn down 2 fights (I’m sure there’s some truth to it), gently caress him. Here’s your paid hotel, tickets and a hot dog voucher.

I didn't pay attention to the rest of this card and just assumed it was good because of the two title fights and I'd for sure be buying it

This card is poo poo and I don't have interest in buying this for possibly 2 rounds of fights.

I think by then the UFC would have milked all they can out of the Cyborgweight train and could just collapse the division and part ways.

Then again its shown that people will watch Cyborg fight moms on free tv so IDK.

Stipe seemed really pissed off about the UFC showcasing Ngannou instead of...you know...their blue collar champion who basically should have “USA” tatto’d all over him. He also has more personality than any other champ other than maybe DC.

I’m glad Ngannou was made to look like a big dumb *censor*ard.

As a fan of tiny men throwing cool punches and stuff, I agree they should be paid. That fight should own. But when DJ says "It's the super fight everyone wants" and then says "It'd (only) do 275,000 buys if it headlines," it seems to be contradictory and a bad negotiation strategy; doubly so when he proposes "we'll go behind the main and co-main for ppv points."

OTOH, he's threatening a card with Woodley and Cyborg maining and co-maining respectively. Maybe he's shrewder than I thought

LMAO. Hey guys all of 37 people want to see us fight so put us on a card with other people so more people want to watch. Everyone wants to see us fight I swear. If you don't do this I'm going to fight whatever schmuck is in my trash division because I'm actually afraid of real competition. I was turning around on DJ but he truly is a bitch.

Cybog will actually bring in somewhat decent buys, probably 400-500k, but Woodley? No. Only if it was GSP vs Woodley

No, the most tired gimmick is the one where you continually comment saying it’s a gimmick. Piss off.

Saying I’ll continue to fight cans unless you put me on a big card (because I can’t draw for poo poo) is a bitch move from someone claiming to be the “best”.

Comparing an IT job (or any normal job) to an independent contractor who fights for a living and who's pay is determined not just by performance, but by how much of an audience he/she can draw is a fair comparison, sure.

"Pay me what I'm worth" Well we are because you're not really worth much more, your division is meh, your personality is pretty sale, and we can't sell you
"Ok, well if I'm fighting someone good put me on a big card so I can get paid more" Fair enough lets see what we can do...oh poo poo sorry we can't, headline this card instead
"Nah gently caress fighting the best i'm going to keep kicking cans in my poo poo division, and go play some video games" Ok, don't call yourself the best then

DJ has discovered that Dana White really, really wants the DJ vs TJ fight. Its probably not even for economic reasons, maybe its because he personally likes TJ, or its the fight fan in him that wants to see it, whatever the reason is, Dana White perhaps unwisely let it slip that he badly wants that match to happen.

DJ isn't asking for 8 figures, he just wants to be on the big July international fight week card, which would then probably mean he gets $1.5-2 million or so instead of 500-700k. This is the only time he'll ever have leverage of any kind, if DJ thought that Dana didn't care as much about the fight as he apparently does, he probably would have just agreed to it last year on some kind of UFC on FOX. But he knows Dana wants the fight, so he's trying to get paid what is really not an unreasonable amount of money.

Fair enough, but I still don't like the thought process of ducking the fight again if they can't make that happen.
