Remember when Kalib Starnes ran away from Nate Quarry the entire fight? I think they scored it 30-24.



I think Cummins vs Kingsbu was also 30-24. Anyone that wants to know what 10-8 rounds look like should watch that on Fight Pass, its so bad!

Really hoping Uriah Hall can keep building off the last 2 wins.


This is a badass card for free.

McGregor vs. Siver
Cerrone vs. Hendo WOW!!
U. Hall vs. Louis Taylor
Norman Parke vs. Gleison Tibau (He's worth watching just to see him make weight)


Cerrone might break a million dollars this year. He made 140k for the fight. He's got to be making a decent penny with endorsements. I noticed he had replaced the Tapout logo on his hat with a Budweiser one. He's done a great job branding himself.

shite, he may be over a million already. I saw a leaked UFC contract, I think it was Eddie Alvarez, and I want to say when the fighter was in a main or co-main they got $3 per PPV buy if the PPV was over 750k buys so that would mean he made over 2 million this last fight. Even if he only got $1 a buy, which he AT LEAST is getting, he is already sitting at almost 900k so far and that is without any other bonuses.

ETA: I found it and it was Eddie Alvarez. I think it's safe to say Cowboy has at least an equal deal and made over 1 million last weekend:

quote:

$1 for each ‘buy' between 200,000 and 400,000 buys, $2 per buy between 400,000 and 600,000 buys, and $2.50 per buy over 600,000 buys."

Khabib wouldn't be ready for March; that's why Dos Anjos got the title fight.

Why would you think that when the PPV buys were over 750k? Do you think Eddie Alvarez has a better deal than Cowboy when Cowboy is WAY more popular?

I doubt/am almost positive based on things I've heard that Cerrone doesn't have PPV points.

Does Siver have the ability to even last a round against Conor?

IDK, Dana loves him and so do the fans so I bet he got them in his most recent contract. Also, he drives a million dollar RV, has like a 100 acre ranch with his own MMA gym on it and spends $ like it's going out of style. I would bet anything he gets points, if not he gets HUGE discretionary bonus checks in the mail.

That RV isn't a million bucks. Those types are $300k brand new. His looked a couple years old.

It's still a sweet rig and not cheap by any means.

Well maybe it's not that much. I still would bet he made close to a million, if not more, last weekend. People that think popular fighters make only what is disclosed are stupid.

ETA: for example Wanderlei Silvas disclosed pay while at the UFC totalled around 2 million but when he started bitching about pay Dana let it be known that they had actually paid him over 9 million for his 9 fights since 2000 and he lost most of them.

I can't believe he's not more popular than he is. Dude only has 100k followers on Instagram.....I think I have 100k followers on Instagram

Cowboy should be way more well known than he is.

TUF-21 confirmed. American Top Team vs The Blackzillians. I know most people don't watch anymore, but I still like it. hopefully this will add a new dynamic to the show like the comback season. I was hoping for a another comeback season.

ATT will destroy

Is it simply ATT Coconut Creek? Or all ATT members everywhere? Doesn't really matter though.

I would imagine just Florida. Wonder if they will just film the show in south Florida? Would make sense.

Sherdog has to be in Melt mode like the rant was when Saban announced he was going to Bama.
