One of my colleagues tore all of those except the ankle about 2 years ago, and she's still walking with a limp and under medical restrictions.

quote:

Molina, the fighter trained by Krause and now under suspension in Nevada, wrote in the 1% Club on April 10 that "the insight Krause has in this sport is insane."

"He's trained w/ a lot of the fighters, lives and breathes this sport as a coach/fighter, & at times has the scoop on injuries -- non-announced matchups -- how fighters look like in camp, etc.," Molina wrote in touting the club. "In stocks this is called insider trading in MMA betting it's called James Krause. For the last 6 months all my bills including mortgage and car note have been paid via Krause's picks. Do yourself a favor and join the VIP."

lmao.

As more than a few twitter accounts have rampantly speculated, it would be hilarious if Krause and Molina intended to lose the Zhumagulov fight, but bad judges hosed them over

Shogun has stated multiple times this is his retirement from the sport. Whether that means he's actually retiring or he's going to go get paid $100,000 to fight Chackle Van Hess in the main event of BKFC 17: Fist My Mouth, I cannot say.

If you mean getting paid well, then I'm not sure, but if you mean getting paid at all, it was the other bareknuckle org that wasn't paying them, it hasn't existed at all for a while.

Yeah, there are a million things wrong and irresponsible about BKFC, but they do, at least, have VC money marks and/or laundering operations that are getting prominent* fighters good money, most ex-UFC people who made the leap say they're getting exponentially more than the UFC was paying them.

No the event isn't that one. BKFC has had more events than that. It's not "BKFC 17" it's like Pride Bushido series: "BKFC Fist My Mouth #17"

Ngannou was offered a large chunk of money. Says right around 8 million so it was probably more than that. But they wouldn't entertain any of his other wants.

https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2023/01/ufc-news-francis-ngannou-explains-departure-future-next-fight

I see 8 million and I know I could retire comfortably at 39 with that and it's far more than any other fighters get. Seems like he's happy with his decision though who knows maybe he'll get an 8 figure payday against Tyson Fury or something, though I think that would be more likely if he crushed a few more challengers.

Unless of course you're intentionally using a double negative and answering the question as-asked, in which case, yes, they aren't not owned by Triller.

He didn't just want money.

He talked about it with Ariel on a special MMA Hour episode on Tuesday that is very much worth a listen.

Ngannou is a good guy.

It's utterly disgusting that an org that relies on its fighters getting brain damage won't consider giving them health insurance. It's not surprising, but it does really loving suck.

I can at least appreciate what ONE is doing in terms of having their own set of young prospects who might one day end up on the level of UFC fighters, though they're shooting themselves in the foot by constantly lying about everything, but Bellator and PFL are never gonna compete for top dog while their business model is paying lots of money to over the hill UFC fighters (and now jake paul? lmao) for their name recognition.
