Also Tony Ferguson apparently can't tell Bobby Knuckles' real twitter from a fake one.

It's real annoying that Ferguson, despite being fuckin' rad in the octagon, is consistently an unlikable idiot outside of it.

Cody is sort of endearing, in a 'god's perfect idiot' kind of way. He's like if Joey from Friends had an outstanding sense of distance and bricks for hands.

Yeah, good luck with that. His contract was 41/41 in his last fight, plus whatever he gets from Reebok. If the UFC offered him any kind of a raise at all, say close to 50/50, then he should probably take it and fight as often as possible, because thats about how much flyweights near the top who don't have the belt are worth.

edit: clarification, thats the *most* that top flyweights are currently worth. A younger untested guy who finds himself in the top 10 is probably about 25/25 or so.

He also isnt a flyweight anymore, not that bantams make way more or anything

They kind of are. Obviously if you are somehow able to break through and become a real draw then the UFC will no longer care what you look like, but the greatest flyweight fighter in history is not getting 7 figures for one fight anytime soon without a lot of assistance co-maining for a superstar or something, while on the other hand heavyweights who win a few fights and show any kind of talent or ability at all quickly get a lot more money.
