Can someone who hasn't had a Wanderlei avatar and currently owning a Chael avatar break down that fight please?

They're both old and bad and have one fight between both of them combined over like 3 years.

Reportedly Bellator isn't trying to rebook Fedor/Mitrione so I assume their flirtation with Russian magicians didn't pan out and their heavyweight division is going to go back to everyone dreaming of the days of milk and Cole Konrad

also War Machine cannot get jailed hard enough and the PPV is going to fail miserably if it even happens.

Scott Coker is in love with Fedor, he's absolutely going to try to get him to fight somebody in Bellator still.

The best part of all that was Vitor being the only person involved who didn't fail a drug test.

I think you are being a little facetious or nitpicking but this isn't the thread for the argument. Kidnapping with aggravated tertiary circumstances is certainly a capital crime. Wait wait wait. Tertiary means, "third" right? Because of the nature of this interaction, let's scratch that word choice.

Hopefully the fight goes about like the fight did on TUF, without a cadre of people wailing on Chael's head area.

The only case for capital punishment for kidnapping is if you transport someone across state lines. Or they are a government official of any type.

Not sure if anyone else here listens to You're Welcome With Chael Sonnen, but if you do and you hate his cohost as much as I do, you may enjoy watching him get choked out by Wes Sims on Fight pass. I enjoyed it.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Bader said he signed a six-fight deal that has a full purse, rather than splitting between show money and a win bonus.


I know we aren't privy to a lot of contracts, but I'm thinking about it now and I don't know if I've heard of one like that before in MMA. Can anyone else?

Yeah, I don't know if many have it written into contract so all fight purses go that way but a flat sum isn't especially unheard of in the UFC for some of the more high profile fighters or champions.

The court basically ruled that you can have lifetime bans as a penalty for cases where it makes sense, but you gotta write that poo poo down first, you can't just look at the athlete in a hearing and go "I'm really pissed at what you did, so now you're banned for life", especially when others who seemingly did worse got much lighter penalties, it was too arbitrary.
