Charles Gnarwin posted:For a company that is increasingly focused on super fights and self promotion earning title shots, it's bullshit to cut a fighter for not wanting to build up a chain of solid wins against dangerous but unknown fighters. Also at using a BJ Penn return to build up a guy to feed him to Frankie Edgar and then cut him. When you're a one dimensional fighters that sits out a year and turn down two fights because you want to kick cans, I think that's a valid reason to release you from your contract.

Bluedeanie posted:I fully agree that fighters should not jocky for fights based on rankings, but Dana White also has the power to deincintivize that by removing the weird lovely Reebok sponsorship structure that effectively makes fast tracking yourself to a title the only way to get paid without taking a zillion fights a year. lol what

Memento posted:Wait Nick Diaz really believes that? I knew he made it as an excuse at the time, but to still be banging on about it 5 years later is some impressively advanced stupid. His excuse is he actually got some sleep that night so obviously he was poisoned has nothing to do with staying out in clubs every night of the week

She had absolutely no intentions of making weight for that fight. Dominick Cruz was spot on; it was basically cheating She looked legitimately fat in there too, not just fat for someone trying to make 115.

Scapegoat posted:I know it doesn't mean much but when Dana was asked about a Russia card at the 223 post fight press conference he said it wouldn't be Khabib on the first card (likely he's gun shy about potential corruption in Russia screwing the event up). I believe this. Vegas is basically the home turf of the UFC now, and there's no way they are putting their biggest draw on in Russia. There's no upside to anyone involved except a crowd pop for Khabib.

Welp, I'm glad they got that resolved because Yair is fun to watch and nobody would watch him anywhere else.
