For the hundredth time (probably), it's a damn shame no one has killed this man yet.

he's probably next in line for the medal of freedom

Rubio conveniently leaves out that man who's ass he continues to kiss is the one pushing bull**** about this situation.

They are fully indoctrinated. They will be on their death beds, that the president has made, explaining how its not the presidents fault.

The man didnt even get a good price for his dignity

Poster? Dude got put on a Egyptian hieroglyph. Didnt know Murray had hops like that

apparently the ref called an offensive foul on the play. he must be kin to DJ Wilson

Jokes aside, they may wanna get tested for corona

Trea too

My team is trash

Rui has scored a total of 14 pts in his last 3 games, including going 0-14 his last 2 games.

I wasnt expecting a rookie wall after he missed that chunk of time before the all-star break

Houston looking funny again

Saw highlights, but not the entire match. Heavyweight boxing is crazy. Things can change instantly with 1 punch. Even with his losses, Helenius put himself back into the mix. 

that man Kownacki was like -2000 or higher in some books. Kinda figured he was suspect after his fight with Arreoloa, but never thought he'd drop a fight to Helenius. Helenius wont beat anybody real, but he earned one more good payday at least.

thought Beal's streak would continue after the hot first half, but he just missed it.

we gotta find someone who can defend and finish at the 5. we ain't making any serious noise in the future with a frontcourt of Rui/Bertans & Bryant/Wagner/whoever the ****

I do agree. I'm with the crowd that fighters are underpaid, and there's a severe financial imbalance in how all the money is allocated.

The system hasn't evolved as the sports has grown. the reebok deal took alot of money from fighters since it killed their endorsement revenue. I think the structure needs to change. Paying someone x amount to show & x amount to win has its own issues. the post-fight bonuses are completely subjective based on criteria that nobody seems to know, and it favors fighters who fight on the main card. if you do some spectacular **** on the early prelims, chances are, you're only getting the bonus if the main card fights are slow.

the biggest issue is that fighters aren't smart enough to do whats necessary to get real change. Dana has them right where he wants them. the few fighters that have talked up organizing haven't been the best of fighters so their opinions get disregarded and they get moved out the ufc after losing a couple of fights.

Sources tell The Post UFC’s fighters cost the Las Vegas promotions company less than $150 million last year — or under 16 percent of its $900 million in revenue. By contrast, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and the National Football League all share between 48 percent and 50 percent of revenues with their players, data shows.

but the fighters themselves dont seem to be making much noise asking for more

Put him in the bullpen and be done with it

Is there like an inverse of a Fight Bonus ?

Like, if you cheat the fans, and put on a ****-show, you get pay deducted from your check.

That might be a good motivation.

Fighters already dont get paid enough by the ufc, i'm not with taking money back for subjective reasons. This is still a sport, although they are chipping away at that daily, and winning should trump all.

rewatched Zhang/Joanna this morning. its in the pantheon with Bones/Gus, Lawler/McDonald, Shogun/Lil Nog 1.

the technique they were able to carry through 5 rounds is astounding. the only downside was that it was the kind of fight that shortens careers by a couple of years

Yoel is honestly blaming Izzy for that fight being ****ty. he truly believes it

bless his heart

1 2 5 Romero. 

i too root for chaos so i'm kinda hoping this happens 

kinda odd that Romero is getting more support from the crowd lol

the dance-off during the fight announcement was better than the fight

not the kind of performance Izzy needed if he wants to continue to build his star

taking Adesanya & Zhang to win retain their titles tonight. I'm a little concerned the main event could be a slow burn or boring fight altogether. Both Adesanya & Romero are counter strikers by nature and Romero is usually very patient as he likes to build a book on what his opponent is doing. I'm hoping he remembers that he is olympic silver medalist in wrestling. Been awhile since Romero has ragdolled someone. Izzy has shown good strategy in his takedown defense, but he hasn't seen anyone remotely close to Romero's pedigree, few exist. That said, Romero usually has issues holding people down even if he does take them down. Adesanya might have to survive a scary moment or two, but i think he gets the decision.

i had a sinking feeling something like this was going to happen

Izzy's won the last 2 rounds on activity, but nothing significant or damaging. He's winning because Yoel is is throwing 2 strikes per round

1-1 after 2, izzy picked up the pace by landing like 5 leg kicks. Romero had a brief flurry.

boring, but tense fight. feels like we're on the edge of  danger that my never fully present itself
