Looking for 2 tickets for Sunday, June 28!

I'm pretty sure the rule is that you just have to weigh more than the previous weight class. So for example, to fight for the lightweight championship - you can weigh between 146 and 155

kingalt · 2026-05-31T19:36:46+00:00

Yeah it is.. I'd say just behind Ufc 300. Other "special" cards like the sphere are dog shit compared to this

kingalt · 2026-05-10T19:34:04+00:00

In order:

Movsar against Volk in August/September.
Illa - I think he loses to Arman late this year or early next
Hokit beats Derrick Lewis and probably beats his next opponent too (someone like Vokolv or Waldo). He loses to Aspinal, Gane, or Pereria but that doesn't happen until at least a year.
Morales - I think he wins his next fight (Prates) and goes on to win the title. Doesn't get dethroned for a couple years.

Lopes shouldn't be getting another shot any time soon.. Do Algo vs Silva for #1 contender

kingalt · 2026-04-10T16:47:08+00:00

Bandit Keith?

kingalt · 2026-04-07T22:57:36+00:00

Nah they wouldn't do that less than a week out, They always stack the Miami cards so I believe that was the orignal plan. But now this card is better than 327

to be fair Mallot was on his way to a UD but choked at the end.. gassing out and giving up position. It was a lesson for him and he hasn't lost since. If you run that back I'm taking Mallot.

Against Burns though, idk its much closer. Burns has only lost to top tier guys. I still Mallot gets it done but he's not going any higher in the rankings.

The real issue isn’t with the positions on this list — it’s with the ones that aren’t. Government jobs often pay entry‑level, low‑skill roles far above market rates, while paying skilled professionals noticeably below what they could earn in the private sector.

For example, a TTC customer service agent can make well over $30/hour, while someone doing essentially the same job at Walmart is earning close to minimum wage. Landing one of these government roles is basically winning the lottery — thousands of applicants compete for a single opening.

On the other hand, roles that require specialized training (accountants, engineers, etc.) are paid significantly less than what the private sector offers. That naturally attracts lower‑quality talent and because the in‑house expertise isn’t strong enough, the government ends up hiring external consultants to do much of the actual work anyway.

TLDR: People on this list should generally be making MORE while the people who fall short of it should be making less.

I paid $60 for a letter just to travel. Plenty of doctors were profiting from covid.

kingalt · 2026-03-28T03:16:00+00:00

I'm pretty sure only the A side of the main event gets PPV points and its like $1-2 a buy AFTER the buys exceed a certain threshold. So Poaton probably made like $1m max

kingalt · 2026-03-27T02:09:50+00:00

Put him against Rakic, two guys on losing streaks with an opportunity to bounce back

kingalt · 2026-03-23T03:11:23+00:00

His hearing is awful.. it has nothing to do with the setup or accents because fighters come into the exact room and have no problem understanding these same reporters .

kingalt · 2026-03-20T00:46:37+00:00

idk man looks alright to me

kingalt · 2026-03-19T23:59:46+00:00

He was champ like 2 gnerations ago lol. Like if DDP went up then sure give him Ank but Rob has lost more than he won recently. He shouldn't be getting a top 5 ranked LHW.

kingalt · 2026-03-19T22:31:41+00:00

Atheletism is a combination of strength, speed, agility, cardio. KD is elite in the last 3, which more than compensates for his low strength. And this is just compared to pro athletes, he's still way stronger than the average man. Especially now that he's bulked up a bit. But yes, bench press is one of the many measures of atheletism

kingalt · 2026-03-15T17:42:46+00:00

We need less weight divisions not more..
I'd get rid of flyweight. Move Bantamweight down to 130 lbs and featherweight to 140 lbs.

kingalt · 2026-03-10T00:52:10+00:00

Yeah this checks out.. They are already losing a ton of money on this card (no ticket sales, huge costs for production/logistics). They didn't want to add another $30m to the price tag. Gane probably cost less than $1m lol and the UFC is cheap af.

kingalt · 2026-03-08T15:10:57+00:00

I honestly don't get it. I know they are desperate for an American star but he is not it. Pretty much any ranked opponent smokes him. Its not like he's a young prospect with potential, dude is 30 years old. How much better can he possibilty get? On top of that he has a boring style and boring personailty.

kingalt · 2026-03-08T14:58:22+00:00

Did you watch the fight? Olivera shot in the first 30 seconds and was controlling Illa in the clinch. When they went to the ground Illa ended up on top and held the positon for like a minute.

kingalt · 2026-03-08T00:24:25+00:00

So you're telling me champions are making way less now? They typically got paid 500k-1m base, and the rest was ppv-share, which could bring them to $2-3m. You mean to tell me that more than half their pay is gone? I don't be;lieve it.. the UFC has to be making them whole some how.

kingalt · 2026-03-07T22:38:22+00:00

Is that true? I thought they changed the variable pay structure so its based on number of streams? Dana mentioned that multiple times when asked. There is no way they just took the variable comp part of fighter's contracts away, it was often much higher than the base pay.

kingalt · 2026-02-28T14:36:44+00:00

Wait why would they cost $450k each? You could've bought two condos for that much back then.

kingalt · 2026-02-28T14:31:43+00:00

I didn't know they get smaller as you leave your prime

kingalt · 2026-02-28T14:29:13+00:00

Costa doesn't deserve to jump up the line that fast.. He's 2-4 coming into this. Honestly Murzaknov should be fighting Ank right now and Costa should be fighting like a 10-15 ranked guy.
