You need haters. Fellas if you got 20 haters, you need 40 of them motherfuckers. If there's any haters in here that don't have nobody to hate on, feel free to hate on me

I thought UFC had him locked up for fights and he was just considered retired but maybe there's some kind of way out of that if the UFC doesn't want to make a match for you because you are 50 years old.

I guess Chuck was counting on the lifetime position of Zuffa "VP of Chuck " to keep his financial life in order 😲

Did he lose that job when WME took over? I remember they cut a lot of cruft but not My Friend Forrest Griffin

I think the story was that Hughes and Chuck lost their retirement jobs when WME came in, but Forrest and Big Nog kept theirs because they actually do stuff in their "ambassador" roles. Like Forrest has that gig where he does the Metro PCS sponsored streams live from the events with Mighty Mouse, and Nog hosted a Fight Pass show.

Dana tried to give Forrest an emeritus position but when they told him he’d be on the payroll for life he showed up and asked what he needed to do. Like he insisted they give him an office and an actual job to do and pestered them until he was actually tasked with stuff.

as infinitely loving dumb as bellator is i don't buy anybody offering 69 year old chuck a multi million dollar contract unless it's 2 million dollars over 10 fights if he wins them all

TMZ said he and Tito have been trying to get another fight done recently, and Dana talked with the site Monday and basically said wherever it happens it ain't happening in UFC lol

Outright said Chuck's too old to still fight, which is a rare time I don't think I disagree with Dana

The way old fighters have nothing to fall back on when their career is over takes away an awful lot of enjoyment of the sport some times.

I would have agreed with this pre-2016, but after the battle of the dueling congestive heart failures I think anything is possible.

My friends and I ran into Forrest one night in Vegas after a card, dude was real cool and took a shot of whiskey with us. It doesn't surprise me that he works like that.

He also regularly goes to soup kitchens, spends a day volunteering then cuts them a check on his way out. It only came out when someone was doing a story on him iirc, or maybe when the UFC was making his hall of fame mini-doc.

Sounds like Chuck is still working for Dana, and he has been tasked with being a sleeper agent, sent in to bait Scott Coker into overspending a promotion into bankruptcy again.

If you're over 45, then it's not 'steroids', it's 'hormone replacement therapy'.

Mriko Cro Cop when he's 60 and so slow he can barely move around the ring faster than an rc car, so they decorate it with steam hammers buzz saws and flamethrowers so when his arm goes flying off at the first stiff punch the audience thinks its an episode of battle bots

I know the world is descending further and further into parody with each passing day but it's a little too on the nose for Cro-Cop to win a Japanese tournament against light-heavyweights, sumo wrestlers and interpretive drawings of steroids, regain the love of the internet, return to America and get immediately knocked out by Roy Nelson again
