derrick for sure deserves it, it'd be his biggest payday and he's earned it lately. it sure seems like jon will somehow get it though, negotiation bs aside.

in other news i am really hoping usman can finish masvidal with strikes and i have to think that's what he's been focusing on doing since their last fight. that would be huge for him. i think he gets it done.

if jones really thinks this fight is that massive, offer him 2-3 mil plus a higher ppv points cut

usman looked so good against burns. like i would love to see masvidal doing his smiling and blowing kisses act every time he gets hit for 2 rounds and then see him in deep trouble in the third and lose his poker face.

by **clouds** » Wed Mar 31, 2021 11:53 am

yeah jones is as good as he thinks he is but he's sure not as famous as he thinks he is

burns showed he's beatable in the first couple of minutes, would've been interesting if burns didn't end up on the ground soon after. I'd take that rematch over jorge and colby. plus burns' training was comprised by being directly impacted by covid

by **clouds** » Wed Mar 31, 2021 12:03 pm

imo this fight is worth it if it knocks mas down a peg, even though i don't think he deserves to fight usman again

↑ usman when his wife/gf sees a roach

by **Brouhaha** » Wed Mar 31, 2021 12:06 pm

shame colby won't fight burns, knows he wouldn't win

If jones gets nasty and lands all his knee stomps i can see him edging it or sub finish

i wonder what this means for the mid/lower tier fighters' bottom line

by **Brouhaha** » Thu Apr 01, 2021 5:20 pm

Holland got the Vettori fight

Be interesting if Marv even bothers striking, knowing his weakness

by **j-ol** » Thu Apr 01, 2021 9:15 pm

i like jon's candour in this interview. i know brou and others are jon haters, but i've always had mad respect for him. hope he gets paid.

by **Brouhaha** » Thu Apr 01, 2021 9:38 pm

He's in the top 3 of most
ingenuine fighters. I'm only 8 min into that and it's funny how he's trying to paint himself as this martyr for getting lower tier fighters paid more when it's a hundred perfect about him making more.

Also, lol at "I'm finally getting my shit together SOMEWHAT."

In other news, the bellator on showtime era begins tmrw with a decent card and they're making it available for free to everyone

------

Be great if Holland somehow beat Marvin as he'd be doing to him what Marv did to Joker, upsetting on a short notice fight. Tall order though but hey puncher's chance

by **Brouhaha** » Thu Apr 01, 2021 9:42 pm

interesting that steve o kind of gets how how dana/ufc operate. he's been a big fan for a while but usually comes off like a casual

luke rockhold recently put dana on blast for how he handles things

by **Brouhaha** » Thu Apr 01, 2021 9:47 pm

fighter pay is fucked up and it would take something massive to change it like all the champs going on strike to support the others

dana used to say you make what you kill and then you had guys like poirier, holloway, and ferguson on these long winning streaks and still only getting in the 200-400k range

the new venom payouts are almost as bad as reebok's were unless what an espn reporter posted was a fool's joke

by **clouds** » Thu Apr 01, 2021 9:53 pm

Jones said he was gonna burn all his nikes because of Lil Nas x lol

by **clouds** » Thu Apr 01, 2021 9:58 pm

"You think I'm just gonna sit there and let you burn them, Jon?"

by **Brouhaha** » Thu Apr 01, 2021 10:42 pm

I've never heard any fighters say negative things about mick maynard, usually that he has their best interest in mind. think he could be a legit successor to dana if anyone decides to do that. he's mostly been booking the women's fights the past few years

How funny would it be if unranked nate diaz beats #3 ranked leon edwards?

if nate wins he should immediately retire and head up the board of the foundation dedicated to building a 400ft statue of him in stockton

i just hope it's not an immediate eyebrow massacre

i appreciate jon and would root for him against ngannou #teamfuckup

wonder if this is going to go similar to masvidal. see it going the rory decision but being outstruck general. needs to jack holloways footwork. anything cmon nate

by **Brouhaha** » Fri Apr 02, 2021 11:34 am

oh, were you one of his dealers?

by **npc** » Fri Apr 02, 2021 11:38 am

dont be mad your stipe lost

by **Brouhaha** » Fri Apr 02, 2021 11:38 am

by **npc** » Fri Apr 02, 2021 11:43 am

i like him because he still wants to fight after a long career. he does deserve to get paid. seems hes doing a lil nate where he realizes he was ripped signing a contract as a young adult and wants compensation

yess feel like these two needed it. ultimately their interests are v much aligned.

prob the most stoked i've ever been to see a fight.

when did y'all start watching? i rented early vhs tapes, watched royce and ken in the earliest ones while hanging at my uncle's trailer home.

became dimly aware once again, after a long hiatus, when rampage KO'd chuck in their second fight. first big fights back were gsp/hughes 2, wand/chuck etc. so like 2007?
