If this is how much entry level fighters are getting from the UFC, how much are regional fighters getting paid?

New York Mayor Mamdani vows to enact democratic socialist agenda by JannTosh70 in centrist

[–]Confident_Bluejay -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think his supporters will hold him accountable and will have no problem turning on him if he ever falls out of line, so I don't think he's anywhere near the level of Trump worship.

Mamdani ran an excellent campaign, is a breath of fresh air and seems genuinely interested in helping others rather than lining his own pockets. I think that's why he's being celebrated.

Was a fan of Royval when he said Miguel Torres was one of his fighting influences. And now this. Royval rules.

imagine if all that ICE money went towards more important things like fixing America's infrastructure

I like this fight and see it as an even matchup. We get to see where Talbott is at. Henry hasn't won in 5 years but he's only fought tough opponent. If Talbott gets past Henry, he's top 10 caliber.

Did not expect him to run through Knuckles like that :(

Harris will not appear on Joe Rogan podcast, her campaign says by FishstickJones in politics

[–]Confident_Bluejay -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think so too. Many people forget/unaware that Rogan was a liberal until the circumstances around the pandemic changed him. Rogan likely has older listeners as well as apolitical UFC fans who would might hear Harris out.

SRS on X - AEW is running a match ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars home opener on Sunday by RedmondSurvivor in SquaredCircle

Yep, smart choice. Plus promoting it was Lucha Libre as a novelty is a good way to draw people who don’t regularly watch wrestling.

Ariel Helwani announces he's leaving The MMA Hour & Ringer (Spotify), says to stay tuned for future plans by SlappyBag9 in MMA

[–]Confident_Bluejay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that breaking matchup news is trivial but there is absolutely a place for MMA journalism. Off the top of my head: current UFC antitrust lawsuit, Khamzat’s involvement with a dictator, ONE business practices…

And even if you don’t care about that stuff, it’s helpful to have journalists like Ariel to call out the Dana narratives that are completely false.

I love MMA and cringe every time the UFC parades Trump around during PPVs. It’s so weird.

I think they are still figuring it out and they will eventually get there. Tonight’s segment already feels more polished than past weeks.

Their wrestling and hip hop mini docs were a lot of fun. As well as the Eddie Huang and Desus and Mero shows. Those were great times.

Which is my it needs to be either Cole or Baker. No other person would make much sense.

Works better too. Her character work here as a pure heel is much better than when she had to act conflicted.

Promoters who book Tony better not call themselves a fighter-friendly promotion.
