The family of the other forum Admin surely were shocked when a redneck and a baldie turned up on their turf with baseball bats too.

Not crying at all bubba
Would love to see him fight again and take his third straight loss
He didn't beat Reyes or Santos...then he just gave up his belt...dude is slipping inside and outside the cocktagon
I think
@RaginCajun hinted at the forum of an English gay pub. You prolly know it.
Never lost. Once disqualified. I saw elbows worse on Saturday night to the back of the head.
I do t know why you won't admit that Jones is the greatest fighter in history. I think you will be happy once you do.
I'm back at the pub today for the first time in almost 2 month's!I think
No, he won't have you with that girls hair, probably thinks your a pro wrestler from the 1980s or something. And they have a habit of betraying people.
So I don't fucken blame him tbh.
Francis Ngannou has made peace with the next step in his career, whether that’s in the UFC or elsewhere.
In other words, the UFC heavyweight champion won’t bend on his demands should he sign a new UFC contract. As he said Monday on The MMA Hour, he estimates he’s already left a lot of money on the table to get to this point.
“You can be free and fight for the UFC,” Ngannou said. “I just want to be free. We are supposedly independent contractors. [An] independent contractor is technically a free person. That’s the reason why they need some adjustments in that contract. That’s what I’ve been fighting for.”
The exact shape of Ngannou’s freedom remains somewhat of an open question, and one that is unprecedented in the promotion’s history. The 35-year-old Cameroon native is still the heavyweight champion after a gutsy decision win over Ciryl Gane at UFC 270 and believes he has fulfilled his contract to the UFC. He is willing to sign another one, but only if the promotion makes concessions on some of its longstanding business practices (even as the promotion appears to have made them less restrictive amid a long-running anti-trust case with former UFC fighters).

Francis Ngannou estimates $7 million loss not signing UFC deal, but ‘freedom doesn’t work with money’
Francis Ngannou goes in-depth on the dramatic circumstances that led up to his gutsy win at UFC 270.
i hate to say it but if you make 600k in a year and you are broke in 11 months that is on you . the ufc is greasy af but cmon man .....i cant sympathize with a guy who is just burning thru money like there is no tomorrow then crying about money.
Its a contract, no one makes them sign the stupid contracts.
First of all Good Recovery about the health stuff!
Be careful with your plan. I cannot recommend stuff, bit maybe mildly advise: becoming an employee is like a wild proud animal going to live in the zoo or something.. you get regular meals and there's a roof over your head. but from then on you're losing everything that was worthwile.. the worst part is, the whole world all of a sudden becomes 'non-tax-deductible'. Horror-scenario, that is.
or maybe you give it a try and it turns out great. or after some time you quit and once you go back to being self-employed, everyday will be like a blessing from then on.
he's not getting 600k after taxes and expenses.
And he's not going to have a 40 yr working career.
it's a harmful monopoly that's abusing labor laws, same as Disney and WWE.
I guess none of them could sign with bellator or one of the other fight promotions since its a "monopoly".
monopoly doesn't mean that competition doesn't exist, just that a business has a dominant market position and uses it to screw employees and customers.
that's the UFC, in a nutshell.
he is going to go from making 600k for a few years to making zero . then maybe make 2 mil getting humiliated by tyson fury and then boxing dries up on him too
so he's going to go from making 600k/yr fighting 3 times, to making $1M/yr fighting once over the next two years...then making $200k/fight for a couple years in Bellator...
seems like he's got this figured out.
or he coulld just stfu and make 600k fighting for the next 5-6 years in the ufc and then go to bellator. he is willling to burn up his ufc future for a one off boxing match that may not even materialize . he is waking away from several million dollars on the table with the ufc to roll the dice on a boxing match that might not even happen
they're as bad at math as you.
what percentage of revenue went to fighters?
you say Davison/Moreno payouts like it's a point of pride how little UFC pays fighters.
i mean, if they didn't use predatory business practices to keep wages low and maintain their monopoly, it would be a mark of a well-run business. But as it is, it's just a mark of how scummy UFC is run.
