There are way worse jobs, people choose to do MMA. It's like acting or music, only a few make really good money from it.

For the physical aspects, jobs that people are born into (like their caste dictates) can be way worse for health than fighting in ring.

what jobs in america require you to train your ass out, suffer immense pain in the short term, with long term pain and injuries being the norm?

Along with high possibility of brain damage and no long term backup or insurance of any kind, with the average yearly salary being around 30k or less (the ufc is the summit lets remember that scary part)

Waiting five years is the best decision these two made. Probably does half that in 09/10

Those of you pissed off with Pacquiao-Mayweather: 10 years ago tonight the best fight in combat sports history.

He also probably trains harder than any other mma fighter

And them NFL brothers genetics.

(oh and if he is willing to do coke and drive drunk he is probably willing to use some next gen peds)

Metamoris 6 tomorrow btw, cyborg abreu injured, ryron Gracie stepped up to face Josh Barnett. Going to be giving up like 70# (imagine he'll just play to not get subbed, lazy guard on his back for a while, don't know how he'll overcome the strength disparity though.

Other matches include:
Chael vs babalu
Joe lauzon vs Dillon danis
Xands ribeiro vs Keenan Cornelius
Clark Gracie vs Roberto satoshi
Jeff monson vs a qualifier from a sub only tournament thing they did

Tim Kennedy was not hacked, he admitted that was a joke. The fighter sponsor compensation is shameful. I honestly feel ashamed to be a UFC fan. We all get to enjoy the hard work and brain trauma that these dudes go through and they are getting **** on. It's really sad. The UFC should at least double those numbers out of their own pocket if necessary.
A realistic fair solution is to let the fighters have some other sponsors.
I'm really rooting for Bellator to take off now. Even if it means we lose out on some great matchups.

Also, Glory is on Spike tonight. It should be a great kickboxing card.

Also, I googled Albuquerque and it doesn't seem that big of a place... Isn't it going to be boring in a while for a party animal like Jones? In before moving to Vegas

I for one am impressed that Jones is smart enough to wrap that rascal.

I give him the benefit of doubt, maybe they're just for transporting drugs.

Defeats the purpose of being the 'exclusive provider'.

He had just moved there before the crash. Didn't take him too long to find some entertainment I guess.

seems like rogan is kinda sickened by the new deal, although he tipstoe around saying it sucks. But hes mad that so many fighters are mad.

god this is why i never feel guilty that i stopped paying for PPVs since like 2009, ive probably saved $1500-$2000, and i actively recruit people to the stream site i use. $10 a month for ALL the boxing/mma PPVs plus 0% of the money the streamer makes goes to the greedy ****ing **** dana ****ing white.

the reekbok "deal" lol is disgusting, i love mma but i dislike the ufc policies so much.

If their wasnt so much scrutiny of their payout to fighters i ****ing swear they would pay the MINIMUM to each fighter, $1000 maybe.
