i doubt it. the dudes a legit fighter. he's going to smash kevin holland unfortunately and have the last laugh about their behind-the-scenes beef

he'll walk away from this event as the real gangster, despite missing weight
Holland is the real winner in all of this.

For the record K @kaladin stormblessed and MMAHAWK @MMAHAWK I'm not throwing shade at Soto, but his willingness to take a fight on like 4 hours notice and save a card led to a 4 year 8 fight career despite of it being somewhat mediocre.
I didn’t take it as a slight.
Joe Soto was different story tho. He wasn’t even in the UFC. He was a former Bellator champ and a 2 division champ in Tachi palace. He was eventually gonna get those fights in the UFC and the Dillashaw fight probably derailed his career a bit.
He saved UFC 177 after 176 had just been canceled. The UFC should have set him up for life for saving the PPV.

and they did. That's my point.

Cowboy was also very, very well compensated for taking every fight he was ever asked to.
I’m saying like a couple million. He got 20k for TJ and 31k for his last fight.

It is possible he got a nice bonus tho

The "generous bonus" is real. I know someone who made close to $100k in his 2 fight UFC career after losing both of his fights where he was fighting for $7/$7.
