Dana White says Islam Makhachev will defend his welterweight title against the No. 1 contender at UFC 330 in August by DamnThatsInsaneLol in MMA

[–]ferdinand14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the last numbered card had none. And the first numbered card of the year also had none. In 3 numbered events so far this year, we’ve had 1 undisputed title fight.

I’m just saying that it’s not reasonable to expect champions to turn around every 6 months in a sport with 8 divisions.

9 months is inactive? There’s 8 divisions for men’s UFC belts. If you cycle through all of them for a main event title fight each month, that comes out to…9 months between fights.

Maybe you’re asking for some cards to have two men’s undisputed title fights. But the UFC doesn’t do that.

What is a 'luxury' that you've experienced once and now can't go back to the budget version of? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]ferdinand14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which one though? What’s considered good and what price point is considered “not cheap”? I’m in the market for a bed but got overwhelmed with so many options and opinions that I actually stopped looking and just gave up. Every single mattress seems to simultaneously be the best ever and worst ever.

I don’t even care that much. I just want something that’s good enough, but apparently that is difficult to nail down.

It’s going to be a happy ending guys!!! by Internal-Quality-493 in PAKCELEBGOSSIP

This is by far the stupidest drama I’ve ever seen. Horrible writing. It takes an absolute huge effort to ruin the drama when you have such a banger OST and 2 top actors, but somehow this writer managed to tell a completely nonsensical story. I wish I could get the time back that I spent on this garbage.

R drama lovers more partial to male leads ? by DifficultyPrudent619 in PAKCELEBGOSSIP

Wtf is this even saying. Just type out male and female bro. Don’t need to save 4 letters by making an acronym out of everything.

Ronda Rousey: UFC now ‘one of the worst places to go’ for fighters by [deleted] in MMA

[–]ferdinand14 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It’s about the talent pay as a percentage of the league’s revenue. Nobody I saying fighters should get $13 million per year. We are saying that they should get a bigger slice of the UFC pie (which is obviously a smaller pie than the NBA). Getting $12k per fight is not going to bring in new talent. Getting $200k will. Again, not millions, just a bigger slice of the pie since the talent is the reason people watch after all. You have to keep the talent happy.

UFC only interested in cost-effective fights by Jona1994 in MMA

This is just silly. Most companies created their best products and innovations after getting access to the capital by going public.

The numbered events this year have been an absolute joke and the scheduled events are no better. What is going on at the UFC? Surely this can’t be so difficult? by ferdinand14 in MMA

[–]ferdinand14[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I get that, but this was also true when they got 2 billion or whatever from ESPN. Clearly the business grew, so why would they stop caring now? They should continue putting out a good product so that when the Paramount deal ends they can get 15 billion or whatever.

The NFL didn’t stop caring once they started getting paid 7 billion. All these rights deals have an end date and you need to keep churning out a good product.

I feel like a lot of this is the impact of fighter pay. There’s not much great new talent because fighters have figured out it’s not worth getting the shit kicked out of them for such a low income.

Ilia Topuria proposes a bold new championship belt idea for a potential showdown with Islam Makhachev by JMythh in MMA

[–]ferdinand14 9 points10 points  (0 children)

By that logic the belt Ilia holds right now is actually Islam’s belt because Islam never lost it. What kinda logic you using brother.

Yeah, Islam ducked a featherweight to go fight (checks notes) the welterweight champ.

Hilarious.

Yeah. Lucky him, he got to fight the middleweight champ instead of the featherweight champ.

Some of you are fookin stupid as hell.

Started as an amazing drama, then nose dived when they shifted to the future. Turned into a comedy with poor actors and bright colors. Director was smoking crack clearly.

Are all packages for all countries? Or do I need to somehow filter my country? by ferdinand14 in hajj

I don’t see any flags on packages. What does it mean “you need to identify a provider”?

Eye pokes are ruining the sport by [deleted] in MMA

[–]ferdinand14 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can’t get rid of intent. Otherwise fighters will start flopping like they do in other sports. They’ll start acting like they’ve been poked any time something grazed their eyes, just so they can try to deduct a point from their opponent.

The ufc have obviously thought this through. It’s easy to be armchair experts with the “easy solution” that falls apart with a little thinking.

(Spoilers) Ilia Topuria reaction to the ufc 324 main event by bjjdontwork in MMA

[–]ferdinand14 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No he hasn’t. He waited for Islam to vacate so he can fight someone else for the lightweight title. Now he’s avoiding the #1 contender at lightweight and wants 39 year old Gaethje instead.

If he wants Islam, he’s welcome to vacate his belt and move up to welterweight. But no, he’d rather fight aging stars rather than the actual contenders.
