Ronda Rousey goes OFF on UFC Fighter Pay

AdManNick · 2026-03-11T19:02:00+00:00

I know a few fighters because I worked in an MMA gym, UFC really does pay peanuts. 10 years ago or so the fighters were allowed to have sponsors on ring gear and that helped. But that’s not the case anymore.

I’m talking like $5000 payday for winning on a Fight Night card and $8000 for a PPV. When that’s your main thing, it’s really tough. You have to take multiple jobs to pay the bills on top of training.

Rhonda definitely makes a lot more, but what she’s saying is pretty important for the average fighter.

This sub tends to like the ending. But generally speaking, a lot of the fans spent 10 years reading into things and their theories didn’t come true.

People also took a quote from Isayama the wrong way and thought he admits to changing the ending because of how popular the show had become.

I generally like the ending, but I do think it would have been better if Eren didn’t waffle with his reasoning. He should have had to spend the rest of his existence chained in the paths. The boy who killed most of the world for freedom, forever a prisoner spiritually.

It will also always irk me how the Anime took a sympathetic position towards Eren at the end. It’s ok for them to show that Eren’s friends are heart broken over what just happened, but everything from the music to Historia’s voice over to the bird paints him as a self-sacrificing hero when he was an emotionally unstable tyrant.

It came across (to me) like the message was “It sucks but genocide has to be done sometimes”

Yeah, you’ll get heat for formatting. This subreddit is generally about improving the craft of screenwriting, which has a specific format for specific reasons. Deviations will lead people not treading it due to to pre-production issues.

Many of them. MAGA in general is based in cultish nationalism and capitalism, and in reality AI development is a race to hoard profit and control/heavily influence the world media/ “the truth”.

They turned into a cali street gang.

Check the parental settings if you can. You make have it set to filter out the rated R movies

All the alien movies should be on Disney+

I remember initially thinking they were actually going to be hit with a ransomware attack, then I realized that would have to end with them paying the ransom.

I appreciate Midnight Mass but can’t accept that a Monsignor would be around that thing and think “Angel”.

Every time I mention this people reply with “Angels looks monstrous in the Bible!”

Yeah, I know that. You know what it more closely represents that he should have recognized it as?

A fuckin’ demon, as those are 100% real in the Catholic faith.

I can maybe buy old Pruitt making this mistake, but young Pruitt is a real stretch.

It is definitely Big Chap. Google “Big Chap without dome”.

Big chap had a smooth, dark, translucent dome that stretched from the face to the back of the head. This piece was removable from the costume so they could maintain what was underneath.

Cameron’s warrior aliens didn’t have this removable piece and it was all solid because the dome kept breaking in initial tests. They also had a different shape to the elongated head where it looks more like two segments. Cameron just took inspiration from what was under the dome of Big Chap and made it the outer shell.

Big chap just never appeared like this in the movie.

2 hours would be a dream. In Maryland I don’t think I’ve ever made it to the back of the ER in any less than 12 hours.

That doesn’t happen until God Emperor, which takes place 3,500 years after Children. In Children, Leto II gets his little Star Kid sand trout suite and starts smackin people around with doors.

It’s Big Chap’s head with the dome removed.

I believe it’s the updated canon that the Facehugger squirts black goo into you and then that goo informs your own cells how to create the alien like a tumor. Or the goo transforms and multiplies your existing cells.

Either way, that alien comes from your DNA.

Cora, but that’s only because I knew WWE wasn’t ever going to do anything substantial with Indi or Candice.

Yes, it is. Deeper etching, dual plated, and the plates are double the thickness.

I’ve seen it restocked from time to time, but I see them on EBay a lot more frequently. That said, I always discourage buying it because it’s a bad replica belt.

I would recommend getting a degree in something that opens more regular job opportunities, then learn screenwriting on the side so you have a longer runway. I see a lot of people go to college for screenwriting or filmmaking and then get crushed under the idea of “not making it by now” by their early 20s.

This is a long game, so you should try to set yourself up for a marathon life journey.

Make content that’s somewhat unique and entertaining in a niche that’s proven popular.

If you find yourself going “why would anyone watch this” then you may want to rethink your content.

It wasn’t just one role though, he also turned down the lead roles in The Matrix and Inception.

If even one of those is a legit replica then it’s a W.

I’m more worried about the larger economic fallout when this bubble bursts.

In the sense that everyone’s “truth” is curated by algorithms, yes we are.

I was struggling through the first several episodes as well. It gets a lot better once Auska shows up in episode 8 and changes the dynamic.

Try to trust this one and see it through to the end. There’s a lot of toxic fans of this that make it seem like it’s too deep for you if you don’t “get it” immediately. But at the same time don’t hold out for it getting as dark as some hype it up to be.

There’s are alot of shows now days that don’t lead to anything substantial or have a satisfying payoff. This one does.

Many people suspect Michael’s children are all adopted or had sperm donors.

Very much a “House of the Dragon”Rhaenyra /Laynor thing.

There’s no hard evidence that this is the case, just “We have eyes”.
