Here we go!

 

Yup, I like that matchmaking.

 

people give Dana a lot of shit but it's stuff like this that makes me think very highly of him

 

Okay but what about the hundreds of fighters that don’t get paid for shit lol

 

that's not how I look at things personally

of course he could do more but so could all of us

 

Oh lord. Comparing a scrumbag promoter who takes advantage of his fighters by not paying them their fair share to an average person or society as a whole is ridiculous. The revenue share of fighters compared to every other major professional sport is abysmal and absolutely should be criticized. He’s done some really messed up things to fighters, lies constantly and says incredibly dumb things all of the time. Who gives a shit if he bought one dude a house.

 

glad I brought it up

 

It’s just a very strange take. There’s literally years worth of examples of Dana not being a good guy

 

Okay this actually made me pretty sad

 

Oh SHIT

 

Holland vs Wonderboy

 

I love that Wonderboy is open to fights that will get him paid and gets in there still. Never takes a lot of damage because he remains one of the hardest to strike with at 40+.

 

Meanwhile, Holland allegedly told Dana and co that he would never fight another wrestler/grappler ever again lmao

 

Props to Geoff. Supposedly, multiple fighters turned this fight down

 

Geoff’s got hands and a solid chin. I see a good striking exchange going the distance.

 

This is supposedly not the main event.


geez. wonder who (Jones) is main eventing

 

Jones/Gane for the Interim then? Don't see Francis being ready by then.

 

Ariel has been saying Jones/Stipe since July. But there’s been a hold up

 

its 100% the main event.

 

not yet!

 

I’m just so tired of any Jones/Stipe/Cejudo talk. Until I see any of them in the octagon I just don’t care and don’t expect to see them.

 

Holy shit those kicks from Martinez were brutal.

 

Dana just confirmed that Volk will fight the winner of Charles/Islam

 

I feel like it only works if Islam wins. If Charles wins, both he and Volk deserve homecomings and could have them in Jan/Feb. If Islam wins, Volk v Islam in Perth makes all the sense in the world.
