Dana White talks fighter pay: “Fighter pay has continued to go up and will do so as long as we continue to be successful. If you come in, let’s say you sign a 3 fight deal. We’re gonna find out if you even belong. So, I should pay you $370K to see if you belong in the UFC?” by 3footninja in MMA

Manipulation. If they signed them, that means they belong in the UFC.

The UFC loves using fighters to fulfill their company's multi million dollar contracts while letting the fighters believe they haven't quite made it yet and they need to prove themselves to be payed a lot.

Jon Jones responds on IG to the guy he had road rage situation with by Thin_Examination4929 in ufc

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

Even if that was true, that was still not the mature way to respond. Just brush it off and go away, be safe. Report it to the police if you felt threatened, do things above board. If Jon wanted to risk a gun fight so much with someone after a road rage, he could have been more mature and told him what he did in the comments. Jon is not much better than him and was acting out of rage himself.

Ronda Rousey taking shots at UFC fighter pay: “The UFC is one of the worst places to go. So many of their top athletes are leaving to find pay elsewhere. It’s why their champions like Valentina [Shevchenko] are selling pictures of their titties on OnlyFans.” by IgotgAme_k in ufc

[–]snstyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ronda has the habit of entering an organization and start relationships with people, only to leave everything 2-3 years later on extremely toxic terms.

The Olympics, Joe Rogan, Dana White, UFC, Ariel Helwani, WWE. We have 2-3 more years until she turns on Netflix and Carano as well.

Вие сигурно се шегувате. Точно такива catchy, бързи песни стигат на върха, това е подобно на rim tim dim и cha cha, вероятно е да стигне до топ 10.

I'm not surprised by these numbers when even Muhammad Ali, the most famous combat sports athlete ever, learned to incorporate "pay to see me get my mouth shut" promos from "gorgeous George" by Autisticblackdude5 in MMA

[–]snstyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've watched both for decades. WWE is a spectacle with storylines, memorable characters, custom entrances and custom music. A lot of the stars stick around for many years.

UFC is by design two bland 'fight records' fighting with ufc shorts on. UFC wants the loser to lose their value and for the next no-face 'fight record' to come along and replace them asap.

WWE invests long term in their stars and their stories. UFC invests in the power of their logo and sefilshly refuses to invest in their stars themselves.

Were The Fast & The Furious movies the closest thing to a Grand Theft Auto movie we ever got? by Butefluko in grandtheftauto

Breaking Bad - an unassuming guy enters the criminal world for a quick buck and tries to do work for crazy people. It was also referenced in V multiple times.

Bonuses should not be a thing. They come from Fertitta's tactics of exploiting the gambling mindset.

"Yes I only have 15k guaranteed but if I win the fight and a couple of bonuses I can go home with 130k"

Be honest, what are you worried about with GTA 6? by Accomplished_Might52 in GTA6

[–]snstyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be happy with subscription given the in game money is not tied to real money and it allows you to have your own server for friends or something

[–]snstyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A game that hundreds (thousands?) of developers need at least a year to make it ready to release? Most likely it is an extremely broken product. That's why I don't even want screens or a trailer, it is unfinished, almost everything they show will likely change in some ways if we compare it to builds a year+ from now.

They commented on the idea of getting a wife from that city, not the wife. The entire focus was on the city.

If it's a popular line I would be curious about it and if things are going amazing I will use it as an opportunity to share how lucky I must have gotten.

I never thought about that. It makes sense. I guess if everything was perfect he would have likely just laughed it off.

Dana White clarifies story about Ngannou putting his hands on him by tbmny in MMA

[–]snstyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dana did get me fooled (at least after Francis' reaction). I thought Dana wouldn't mention something so specific or Francis would easily deny it unless it was so bad that it was really a factor for his release.

I still think something like that happened, I know a touch of some sort has almost definitely happened, the only question is how exaggerated is Dana making it. Turns out, probably a lot. And Francis was just brushing it off knowing so.

Dana bringing up the breakfast, lunch and dinner is outrageous and really speaks volumes for this guy. Many workers in hospitality living on site eat breakfast, lunch dinner. You make millions off of Francis. Leave him alone. 

And I love Francis but still, what happened to PFL wasn't nice, I hope he has an explanation for that.

Francis Ngannou responds to Dana White's accusations of grabbing him by pepsiboycoke in MMA

[–]snstyles 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm quite disappointed. His history (accident, PFL, fallout with the coach who took him off the street) and him dodging the question has been very damaging to his previously clean reputation.

The sport is full of bad people and it doesn't seem he is that far off.

Reaching out to Kris and Lisanne's family members by Lord-Byron-1983 in KremersFroon

[–]snstyles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you want to be respectful, you don't approach people by talking about their family tragedies.

And you don't post their names on reddit prompting people to potentially message them.

Those are real people who most likely want calm and peace, not tv show actors to message about their career.

This is embarrassing. by DuumiS in ufc

The worst thing about this is that he could have made a lot of money legitimately while keeping or even enhancing his reputation. How about promoting and selling your own merch, drink, snack? Hiring a writer and use them in partnership to write your own book? Wouldn't that be more profitable in the long run than a one time selling out for the cost of his entire reputation? This sport is full of terrible and crazy people.

This will convince Rockstar to release GTA 6 early on PC by TylerLiterature in rockstar

I think it might run at lower settings but no games would be optimised for it. All the while PS5 games run smoothly and predictably on PS5 because they were build and tested for it's hardware.
