  1. I like watching her fight, but Rose throws so many wild kicks that if she is in the finale against Esparza, it will be takedown city.  And Esparza will be smart enough to not be subbed.

  2. For Epwar, do you have any other ideas for the pay tier other than rankings?  This is a prize-fighting sport, so the fighters who win more should arguably make more.  

     

    I agree and that already happens with UFC pay.  Ronda Rousey already makes fifty times what Sarah Kaufman makes, so why reinforce it more?  With the Reebok uniforms, everyone is wearing variants of the same thing so they should be paid equally. Now if their signature shirts end up taking off, that is a whole different ballgame.

  3. - Will some of the perennial brands start disappearing from the UFC and MMA all together before July? I see Venum and Hayabusa getting fucked bad on this deal. A few of these companies only stay alive based on their presence and exposure in the UFC. They were sponsoring every other fighter at every UFC show. So I don't expect them to keep deals with fighters that can't wear their product in the cage. They didn't have the pressure of some of these MMA clothing companies that sponsor a main eventer (and then end up not paying them). Moreover, it's not like sponsoring a Bellator prelim guy means the same as sponsoring say...Paige VanZant.

     

    Yeah, this is going to absolutely murder most brands.  The Affliction and Tapout era has long since waned, so interest was alreay at an all-time low (in the modern Zuffa era).  Removing sponsors from TV will pretty much be the nail in the coffin for most of them.

  4. Consider it was FRB writing it.  His track record is about as legitimate as Latino Review's El Mayimbe.

     

    Didn't he say ZUFFA was going to fire Anderson Silva if he turned down the rematch with Sonnen in Vegas?

     

    That was just him trying to do PR for his BFF Chael.  FRB has been wrong so many times ("CONFIRMED: Brock is in Vegas for the UFC!") that it is just lunacy that people still listen to him.

  5. I am surprised Dana didn't throw someone under the bus. That could've easily turned into "this fucking French Canadian guy wants more money. Who the fuck does he think he is? Our biggest draw in Canada?!?!"

     

    Crazy idea, but maybe they should get the deal done first and then plan the press conference?  Wacky, I know.
