There has been some talks of The Ultimate Fighter making a return soon. Apparently if Dana White wants Paulo Costa as a coach, he is going to have to pay some serious dough.

By all accounts, Costa should have already fought for the middleweight title. He had earned his spot after a win over Yoel Romero. However injuries and issues with USADA have kept him on the sidelines since that bout, causing Romero to face the champ, Israel Adesanya, in the interim. However with that bout out of the way, and Adesanya remaining champion, it seems that these two are back on a collision course....

Really tired of hearing about money demands from fighters. Hard to build fans for someone who doesn't fight often and spends the rest of the time begging for money. Unfortunately the version of MMA that we have now is kind of pathetic.

I find the post fight bonus begging cringey as fuck, but then again I'm not training my ass off, getting beat up and
then being underpaid. Perhaps the fighters should protest and if changes aren't made, maybe a more forceful approach
is warranted. BURN DOWN THE APEX CENTER

I couldn't tell if he was joking in his tweet

"I want 15 million like Jon"

Costa has only fought once in two years now. And now he wants to sit out for another indefinite period of time.

It's fucking incredible how comfortable with being inactive MMA fighters are.

You seem curiously educated in the genetic makeup of a gay porno photograph.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

I see what he is doing.. Fighters make 15x less what other pro athletes make.. Therefore he is asking for 15 mil just to get a settlement at 1 million.. Y'all pussysboys haven't watched pawn stars?

Btw this is funny the that he wanted this much but at the same time boxers get dumb money and you gotta start somewhere.. The UFC needs to find a perfect balance of fighter profit sharing and common decency.. Imho a roster salary needs to happen.. If a guy is getting 500 a week between fights that helps a ton Between ponze schemes.. The show money and win money is bullshit as well.. I can go on for years

MiddleEasy has a whole identity based on clickbait and this is no exception.

Costa made one tweet that said he wants 15 million like Jon, an obvious throwaway statement, and now it's spun as if he has "demands" or "is sitting out" or whatever. Fighters deserve millions, but Costa didn't say much.

Shocking that a website started by a Nick Diaz groupie doesn't have higher standards

That company is like a corporation now....pay won’t change in a material way, just won’t happen....they want pay to go the other way so their investors reap the benefits.....you get no access to the board room like you used to
Lucky that Dana is still allowed to talk outside the war room.....when was the last time the aloof, arrogant twat air Emmanuel got interviewed or gave you insight behind the scenes?????

Dana should give him 15 million Real. The Brazilian Real is only 0.19 to the USD. So that’s only 2.7 million.
