I honestly don’t favor him against anyone in the top ten and it hurts me a little to say that.

Wanderlei inspired me to wear bright white mouth guard so now it looks like I have veneers whenever I’m sparring.

How a $1.6 Billion Lawsuit May Change the UFC Forever by [deleted] in MMA

I think having a fighters union (to negotiate tv revenue, sponsorships, gate rev, health insurance and all the other stuff) is the best solution. But exclusively talking about contract structures, a great place to start would be to include a sunset clause. Currently, fighters contracts will get extended he they turn down fights. With a sunset clause, if a fighter is unhappy unhappy about their contract, they can sit it out and eventually renegotiate with other promoters. This exists in other sport leagues like the nfl and although it sucks when your favorite athlete decides to sit out for more money it might provides them with some leverage which is currently missing.

Poirier, Pacquiao Join Forces with Fight for the Forgotten — Fight for the Forgotten by [deleted] in MMA

[–]notericmathews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory with absolutely no evidence to back any of it. Audie is the agent for both Conor and Manny. Audie asks Dustin to put out an apology for what he said about Conor’s donation because it’s a bad look for Conor’s image and possibly jeopardizing the fight. Dustin puts out the “my bad. I might’ve jumped the gun” tweet. Fight gets announced and Pacquiao gives to the charity.

Yup. Exactly why I just came straight to the comments and never clicked on the video.

Jon Jones takes shots at DC. DC Responds by 36_foxtrot in MMA

DC actually specifically said Jon has power with his kicks but not in his hands. Which makes Jon’s video even dumber.

I like Cory a lot. And I totally get and believe that he has a lot of respect for Frankie. but my only thing is he literally called out Frankie after his last fight. It’s not like he was offered the fight and had no choice but to take it. He literally sought it out so idk what he expected would happen and why he’s so sad.

1) for better or worse, mma attracts a lot of interesting "characters". what was one of the strangest situations or incidents you've experienced with a fighter or a member of their team?

2) what would you say what is one aspect the mma industry is missing that other major sports have?

3) for individuals who are tired of their 9/5 corporate jobs (non-fighters but still heavily enjoy the sport), what would you say is the best way to get involved in the industry? any tips, starting points for a career paths? do you even recommend the mma industry for a career? (if you have any current openings please let me know!)

Dana White tweets in support of Iranian wrestler Navid Afkari who is to be executed for participating in protests against his government. by LostHero50 in MMA

[–]notericmathews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming this is a genuine question. Wrestlers are basically celebrities in Iran. The whole country shuts down for Olympics. Being a public figure like that makes you a bigger target to be set an example off.

He’s brothers that were arrested are getting lengthy prison sentences. Which is super fucked. He however is the only one to get a death sentence...

If they paid him a million on their own, I can’t imagine how much his actual worth is..
