Coach, the fight is tonight? 

[Rascal full]

Do they have strict PED tests in Bellator? Is it like the UFC or more lax making it a better option for fighters as they get older?

Were Bellator the ones that put on Kimbo Slice vs that obese rapper weirdo dude and they both gassed and ended up flopping about like fish out of water? I think one of them nearly died in the cage because he was so unfit and it was one of the worst fights of all time!"

Try to keep up with the times. Kimbo has been dead for a long time. UFC and Dana White now has to resort to circus acts and letting his money fighter fight dirty just stay alive. I know plenty of fighters in the UFC and every one of them says their gone after their contracts are up. The UFC is a shit show from top to bottom. Their gyms are nice tho

Yeah, the UFC was sold at the perfect moment and has been going downhill since. Dana comes across as a real dick, I will be pleased if loads of fighters leave and the UFC have to shake things up and pay the fighters more.

Is your mate who is fighting tonight getting good money? Cheick Kongo I think he is?

[Humble Narcissist]

I have seen some very entertaining Bellator fights.

Yes, Kongo. I’ve said that the UFC’s years are numbered.

Like I said. When most of these guys contracts are up, they’re gone and the ones that have left have nothing good to say about Dana or the UFC as an organization. Really started going down as well when Joe Silva, their matchmaker left.

ufc puts on the best fights and thats all that matters at the end of the day

[oldtimer1]

UFC has a serious problem. The rankings are suspect. The top fighters rarely fight so how can the rankings be justified?  UFC keeps the majority of the venue, pay per view and the all the products licensed to sell. The fighters receive chump change and their fighting life has a short shelf life.  Other fighting organizations are keeping less money and paying the fighters a bigger piece of the pie. Their rankings are more believable. When a top boxer makes 10 to 20 million a fight and top UFC guy gets 200K to a million you know this is BS when the pay per view is getting a sick amount of millions.  

[ratherbebig]

i didnt know boxing was known for their generous payouts and kind treatment of fighters.

Check out what the fighters are getting paid for the next heavy weight boxing championship.  20 to 30 million is a real guess. What is the next heavy weight purse for UFC?  Million each?  Maybe 500K each?

for that to be relevant we must compare how much boxing makes on that fight and how much ufc makes on their fight, do you have those numbers?

Some of the circus match ups are real fights but only for viewership. Some of these guys haven’t came up through the ranks to even be qualified to fight at the pro level.

rankings doesnt matter anyway. it's all about putting together the most interesting fight.

oldtime i will admit the ufc dont pay shit but they are much healthier than any scum bax boxing promoter , they are not in trouble at all they are getting 350 million per year from the ufc. plus ppv now is giving them 70% of the ppv cut.

oldtimer there are alot of morons on here, who make shit up

[OneMoreRep]

Holy shit, first fight on the main card has a Miami latina crying her ass off as if she just won the belt. Chick is 1-0 in Bellator.
