Do most fighters have any sort of alternative mma related income coming in, like a position at their gym or something? It seems bizarre to me that anyone would go into MMA seeing as how it doesn’t seem to pay most fighters more than low level civilian gigs.

Most fighters have to coach/train as a necessity, it seems

Some do unrelated secondary jobs, like how Geoff Neal works at a restaurant

B-League fighter MMDMMMJ worked at a warehouse while he was UFC champion. He only stopped doing labor jobs because he makes money streaming as well, iirc.

Not quite

He quit his warehouse job in preparation for his bantamweight title fight against Cruz

I know I'm willfully ignoring conor's dumbass fanbase, but for everyone else - literally how does conor even come back from a 2nd stoppage loss to dustin and talk any poo poo at all since his only win since obama was president was cowboy cerone

Conor tweeted something this week that Dustin was a little bitch for shelling up and throwing low kicks, so it doesn't matter how Conor could get stopped, whatever method employed will be dishonorable and only used by cowards and charlatans.

I would assume there's a bit of a muscle memory issue regarding throwing a calf kick versus a normal low kick aimed above the knee.

lol people saying stephens should be cut for shoving a guy. fighters have been shoving each other at weigh-ins since weigh ins were a thing, was he supposed to know that he was going to hurt the guy? it was a freak accident. its like saying the production guy that laid down the cable that tony ferguson tripped on and got hurt should be fired. get a grip

What the gently caress could this possibly mean

With the current UFC patch, the "gassed" status effect confers the following debuffs

-5% strike speed
-10% strike power
-5% grapple transition speed

EPO reduces these debuffs by 1.5X

Hi I'm looking at the Russian "article" and it makes no loving sense to me, it's like barely two paragraphs and as noted above seems to contradict itself, I suspect this is lost in translation somewhere.

This is also like the Russian equivalent of Reuters which I'd take their word more seriously for big world news but I wouldn't expect them to know anything about MMA or UFC.

edit: lmao, the tag on the article says "MMA" but if you click it the URL is still /tag/ufc, that's probably all you need to know.

Also from what I understand Zabit lives and trains in New Jersey on what I must assume is a work visa, and I have no idea how he'd stay in the country if he retired from MMA.

He could teach small children the secrets of Dagestani Wushu

Remember when Jeremy Stephens shoved Drakkar Klose at weigh-ins and Dana White blamed Sean Shelby for not intervening quickly enough in the presence of a known savage?

Known nincompoop, Ion Cutelaba, violently grabbed Dustin Jacoby at the weigh-ins and Dana White just kinda stood there and did nothing.
