Tine. I have stuck to a strategy that I have dubbed " Stick to Putin".
In this I bet every Russian fighter. Only exception is if they are fighting a Brazilian or in Brazil.
Add an unit if their last name contains an Akh or Kov.
Add another unit if they could pass for a Chechen terrorist.
But seriously. Akhmedov and Volkanovski parlay tonight.

im confident that hollbrook has never actually landed a proper leglock in his life.
FOR REAL THOUGH, MISHA TATE IS A HOT PIECE OF ASS BUT THAT TWINK BEHIND HER WITH THE GORGEOUS HAIR WOULD GET IT TOO
tate looks like a sock puppet filled with saline.

Rogan and Goldie might be gone, soon
^^^^
They will probably go cheap making it the Florian and Stann shit show.

Rogan is iconic.
Goldie is a huge problem and always has been. He simply has no idea whats going on at any given moment, for starters.
But then who would say "It's all over" or "virtually i-den-ti-cal"?Quote:

Years of built up chemistry/playing off each other doesn't just get replaced by a new co-host.
Goldie exists purely because he and Rogan have great chemistry. You notice the difference when its Goldie and Stann or anyone else, on how bad he is. Or when Goldie calls the occasional football/basketball game.
Jon Anik is a milquetoast as it gets when it comes to announcing (although I do like him mentioning the lines and line moves before and during fights, a nice touch).
What's funny is that the WWE offered Goldie a 6 figure contract at one point :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oSr_oHvC9Q#
(and to no-show a UFC show!) in his career...and if he is canned from the UFC, he'll probably end up there for less of the cost as Bellator has Sean Grande (who's very good) and WSOF has......well, who gives a fuck who WSOF has, no one watches that shit. Arizona Coyotes hockey could also be a destination for Goldie.
Dana will probably leave on his own terms now since he got his payout, especially if the MMA Union really starts to get some steam. He wants no part of that fight, and WME would be skittish on Dana being the figurehead of any PR effort against a union because as we know from the past, Dana is a tiltbucket and is one viral video away from saying some really stupid shit that could scare the big corporate sponsors that WME aims to procure for its product. I think by 2018, Dana is gone.
Its easier to call agents and journalists you don't like "faggots" when your main sponsors are Mickey's and Xscience, not when they are Reebok and Bud Light.
The main reason Joe and Goldie might have to go for a new TV deal is because networks aren't going to give the UFC huge money then still allow the UFC to produce the broadcast like they do now. That's one of the main reasons the UFC could never make a showtime or HBO deal back in the day, because they refused to give up control of the entire broadcast, and specifically demanded they control all on-camera talking heads. Now they know that to go to the next level, they have no choice. If a network ponies up half a bil for tv rights, they will also absolutely have a hand in who does the call of the broadcast.
I was under the impression he was locked in til 2021 or so, as a condition of the sale.Quote:

Absolute fucking disgrace how UFC robs these guys blind. Someone actually doing something about it is long overdue.
He used to run Bellator, and he kinda fucked over some fighters there (read up on Zach Light and Eddie Alvarez's situations).Quote:

Also, when you form a union vs a sports entity like the UFC which I think has anti-trust protections, you can also threaten to disband the union and sue as a group, forcing the dispute to go to an arbitrator, who can then "open the books" on the employer to determine what a potential "slicing of the baby" settlement would be. This is a tactic that saved the 2011 NFL season, as soon as the NFLPA did this, the owners of the league caved to some of the players' demands because they wanted no part of their (nepotistic) business doings open to the public.
I do support the lads as the UFC is fucking them over big time, but he's not really the guy to do it IMO. Also the fact there's 3 MMA fighters associations isn't the kind of solidarity you need to force the needle on pay (Reebok), better working conditions (USADA), etc. Look up how the NFL QB Club (an association of 40 of the top paid QBs in the league) was a big factor in the 1987 NFL strike, as not only was there infighting b/t the league and the players, but b/t the players themselves which almost costed the league an entire year.
unless hunt signs off on it, it aint shit.
Cain and GSP are for sure represented by CAA, and I think maybe a few of the other guys might be, too.
CAA v WME
guys as fucked up as the world is right now... conor v floyd might actually happen.
McGregor at +950, Mayweather -2250 at Bovada
LOL
Jonny Bones on the JRE.

they are absolutely perfect for each other.
Hard pass on this Rogan, I am SURE it is just that dog and pony show press conference all over again.
Yeah it was "dick pills" that is a fucking good one Bones. Cry again we believe you.
^ this. i dont want to hear a fucking word that comes out of jones' only barely not legally retarded mouth and i double definitely dont want to hear rogan validate it with a softball response.
