Can they ask fighters from those cards to fill out the PPV?Lots of strange things going on
The 2 fight nights after this PPV have 12 & 13 fights already official.
Yes they canCan they ask fighters from those cards to fill out the PPV?
WSOF does it, they aren't worried at all I'm sureYes they can
If they were just losing fights left and right I'd understand. But not having a full card announced at all seems strange.

The main card is fucking baller, though. Woodley vs Thompson, Nurmegomedov vs Ferguson, Vannata vs Teymur, Reem vs Hunto. Oh, someone hold me, I just came across all hot and bothered.So 209 is a little over 2 weeks away and now only
8 1/2 fights announced so far.
Joe Silva was a piece of shit, but was great at his job.
He understood that serious matchmaking wasn't about 'integrity' but provided the foundation for the sport's financial growth. When WME got rid of him because of this, the writing was on the wall that they had no idea what they were doing.
He is just ruthless at his job. Honestly, a lot of the shit that Dana gets heat for was actually the actions of Silva. Ruthless negotiator, he wouldn't hesitate to cuss a fighter out, bench people, etc.I heard schaub calling Joe Silva a Piece of shit but never really heard any stories about him.
How much did he walk away with at the end then?He is just ruthless at his job. Honestly, a lot of the shit that Dana gets heat for was actually the actions of Silva. Ruthless negotiator, he wouldn't hesitate to cuss a fighter out, bench people, etc.
That said, he was better at his job than people gave him credit for.
He's actually a nice guy but a super shrewd businessman that is taking his millions from the buyout and riding off into the sunset where he can relax.
