Breaking down Diaz versus McGregor
Bellator is an asset to Viacom.. Viacom stock dropped 15% last week.. As much of a circus it is and us hardocres don’t like it.. It still has us talking about it… Event will no doubt do great ratings… Unfortunately it’s what Bellator has to do… Look at the ratings Daley did on the last event as the main-event for Bellator… Didn’t even crack 700k… Viacom needs all the assets they can get right now… Their networks aren’t as strong and they made zero majorly profitable movies last year… Their still not on life support by any means don’t get me wrong.. But they are certainly in the position where they have to protect their assets… Unfortunately for bellator it’s creating a freak show lol With that being said Frank by tko and Kimbo by the same
Bellator's Shamrock-Gracie bout is a circus
ya it’s crazy man… and we’re not even a year into USADA yet
Junior dos Santos must retreat to go forward
Ya agreed man.. interesting matchups for the next little bit i guess… don’t see dc winning… outside jones vs rumble there isn’t too much
The fragile state of the UFC's light heavyweight division
Thanks for the tips lol however the same quote was posted on every media outlet… i’m no authorized to change wording from other sites quotes.. ..but thank you tho
George St-Pierre's division has moved on
I think we have to give him one more fight before the allegations really come out.. bad weight cuts have always been a part of his career.. while not to the point of his body shutting down but it’s just a matter of time over the years with bad cut after bad cut… Anyone can looking really bad against wonderboy… With improved takedown defence, massive advantage in range and world class striking he’s a nightmare of a match up for hendricks… The size advantage wonderboy had was shocking… Gotta give Hendricks another look… I like Hendricks versus MacDonald next.. Both coming off losses and at the top of the division… Makes a lot of sense
The rise and fall of Johny Hendricks
Hey, thanks guys… Yes very interesting fight.. especially when you add that both of these men confidence levels are so high as well both feel are they are the best on the planet.. Can’t wait for this fight… Odds are shifting in conors favor now with him becoming the slight favorite… Real interesting
Is Conor McGregor really crazy to take on Rafael dos Anjos?
Roy- Hendricks via wrestling- St.Preux-Benavidez
Heavyweights set to rule UFC Fight Night 82
I can’t bro… the way the system is set up to send in my work… It goes through a team of editors and shit and they check all the facts before they put it on their site.. I can’t physically link anything to this article… your obviously just trolling cause if you can’t find his salaries you must be like completely illiterate
The sad truth about Roy Nelson
got real high and read it and posted it on his twitter haha smashing the ufc
Bellator signs Henderson, putting spotlight on UFC and Reebok
ya I did Justin- Pretty cool
Bellator signs Henderson, putting spotlight on UFC and Reebok
bro you can see his salaries from every event he’s ever had a fight in… its on a thing called google… Guy I had Roy Nelson personally message me on twitter saying thank you for this support.. signing bonus/under the table agreements come on man don’t be so gullable. Do you see any fighters talking about these signing bonus and under the table payments you speak of? No you don’t cause there irrelevant. You’re quite uneducated dim on the subject clearly- as you can’t even find his base salaries.. he makes 26k and 26k now 6 years ago he was making 15k and 15k… very easy to find
The sad truth about Roy Nelson
exactly fuahole- dana has made it very public his opinion of Roy.. Goes beyond the fact of fighter pay— Look how they treated Jon Jones and Jose Aldo.These are professional athletes who compete in front of millions of people.. They should be treated that way
The sad truth about Roy Nelson
If sterling goes too then look out… nice to see this starting to take place… more leverage for the fighters to earn more money the better.. Good post

I’m really in the other corner- The fighters corner- The right corner- The not rich corner
The sad truth about Roy Nelson
561k is his salary as I clearly stated in the article. I don’t think commissions count in corporate america lol not sure what you guys are about in Australia but anyways boys. You guys seem like cool guys. Pretty into roaring action which is cool I guess. I See yas are fairly pro the UFC-which is weird and awkward. Have a good one
The sad truth about Roy Nelson
last time I checked in the corporate world, bonuses are not disclosed as salaries/ commissions like you’ve stated are not relevant. As that’s money earned through a performance bonus which is a commission. It’s a tax right off generally for a company and get taxed highly in Roy’s case. Ill take it by the personal message I conveniently received from Roy Nelson Via twitter that I did justice in this article. Not sure what rock you live under but these gate cuts. headline bonuses, appearance bonuses are the first ever released to the world of these. Seeing how you’re Rhys from the roar I’m going to go on a limb here and say you have no idea what you’re talking about. We’ve heard of the “back room bonus” however until numbers are put forward those really don’t exist. But thanks for coming out man
The sad truth about Roy Nelson
Wouldn’t that be something lol
Anderson Silva will get the next middleweight title shot

tweet right there on the non requesting of the fight
The sad truth about Roy Nelson
You’re right he could’ve turned it down-obviously. as like anyone can do when offered a short notice fight. Well ya why would he take a fight he didn’t think he could win lol regardless of your beliefs of the facts in which you think are true. He was offered a fight on short notice- he took it too book a win obviously and save a card as it had the lowest ppv buys from featherweight and up in over 10 years at 140,000 ppv buys- not the moral of the sotry here geevan. Shouldn’t have affected his terms of his contract like it did. Zero percent increase
The sad truth about Roy Nelson
Would make a lot of people eat their words
Can Jackson-Winkeljohn reinvigorate BJ Penn's career?
First or second round ko for Silva Ma less then a month and we’ll find out
Anderson Silva will get the next middleweight title shot
haha I don’t know about a Silva versus Weidman 3 Big J. Strange things happen when those two share the octagon. Silva competing for the belt alone will be a massive win for the UFC and like i said– a story line that can never be repeated. You get the hype machine of the UFC and media behind it. Big payday
Anderson Silva will get the next middleweight title shot
Ya man I hear you for sure. I just hate when the UFC goes after fighters.
Should Cain Velasquez get a title shot when healthy?
Ya man this fight is awesome
