How do you come up with that number? Was he an investor? Why would an employee be given that large of an ownership share?

Lots of bad business theories itt lately.

supposedly he was given equity very early on before their value blew up, any number is just a guess at how much though. He wasn't just any random employee he was an executive that helped build the company in a huge way

they probably asked him to speak on it, since GSP was a huge draw that had retired

You think 'our current champ whining about an old fight' was a marketing strategy? It sounded silly, but I can sort of see it. I still doubt it and based on what I've seen of Hendricks, I'm pretty sure whining is just an instinct for him.

dana whined about it a ton as well

it hit him on top of the head as he threw his lovely winging 1-2 with his head bent forward so far he was staring straight at his own feet

I think gsp is going to fight mcgregor

Supposedly part of his contract was picking his first opponent and maybe his second. If that's true it's definitely Conor

God drat. Wouldn't that be considered a kick though? Outside of the Chael-cast I know gently caress all about real wrestling.

They'd probably let it go as a trip but it looks like a kick for sure

I think he means the dude who ends up on the bottom's kick/trip attempt as the other dude does a sick backflip takedown.

so i guess the move for any event that doesn't have absolutely huge fights is to wait until it's close to the fight date to buy tickets?

Schenck v. U.S. posted:

Hunt is really strong and actually decent in the clinch. There are a lot of examples of guys trying to control him there and just being overpowered. It actually happened to full-steroid Overeem about a hundred years ago when he fought Hunt the first time--tried to clinch, got bitch-tossed to the side, then tapped Hunt with a kimura from bottom side control.

Shooting in on a single is really the way to go if you want to take Hunt down, and I don't think Overeem has a good enough shot unless he really sets it up with striking.

My guess is Overeem will try a strategy something like what he used on Big Country, who is another short HW with very heavy hands.

i think overeem is gonna try to get it to the ground where he has an enormous advantage
