I wasnt really a fan of his watching TUF but he grew on me and i can say i have been a fan of his for a few years now. Always puts on a show.

Him and Paige. They sort of set a precedent with those 40/40 contracts, and pissed a lot of fighters off in the process. They're either going to have to increase pay for the bottom 50% of the roster, or watch more and more fighters leave for free agency.

Good....
Exactly.
Glad to see fighters FINALLY doing some math about self-worth....

I hope Mitrione searches for better money elsewhere so he'll quickly realize every other promotion is paying their middle to lower ranked fighters even less. When he resigns with the UFC, where the best in the world fight, it'll be a glorious day.

You buy too much into what the UFC is selling. Not too long ago, the guys who are now champion in their top 4 divisions weren't in the UFC at all.

At the time, people would have claimed Werdum couldn't hang with UFC HW's, Rockhold hasn't fought anyone and Lawler was past his prime and didn't last in the UFC his first go round.

He's not buying into anything. He's taking the opposing position, in an attempt to get people to lose their shit. He does this every now and then, so you must be on your toes. Have your senses on high alert.

Last I checked Werdum, Lawler and Rockhold were in the UFC. It doesn't matter where they came from. The UFC wants the best fighters flying their banner and that's why those fighters were signed.
