You have to PAY to post on that forum?!?
For those thinking that Jon should be happy with the pay he gets, this was a really good read:
https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2020/6/2/21275941/ufc-finances-how-much-does-jon-jones-make-fighting-for-the-ufc

From the lawsuit against the UFC we know from 2007-2017 the UFC pays 15-18% of its revenue on fighter pay each year.

TLDR:
Eight PPV events headlined by Jones from 2012-2017 did almost $108 million in revenue above the UFC’s floor.
Which is $14 million in additional revenue per event headlined by Jon Jones.

Catching up on the DC/Helwani show for the week and Helwani seems pissed off and repeatedly saying "murders" while DC is bootlicking talking a bout how the kids he coaches have cop dads and they're good guys and saying "incidents"....yeah...gently caress DC.

I mean you can listen to the first 25~ minutes of this show to hear it for yourself:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQau-VvlvCQ

Helwani does end up asking him if he's personally experienced racism in his life and he does basically tell him that he hasn't, since he's always been the #1 wrestler everywhere, he ends up coming up with an example of his sister having a neighbor that didn't wanna shake her hand.

There's actually a couple specific lines that I could pull that make DC look way worse than what I posted, something like "No cop can be bad" but it's not clear if he's trying to say "no cop IS bad" (Complete and utter bootlicking bullshit) or if he's trying to say "I wish all cops were good people".

Lol I remember Kevin Lee getting a lot of goodwill when he supported Bernie Sanders, but then they invited him to speak at some event and he started with some rambling like "The white house, its messed up and yeah there's Trump, you gotta give him respect though, he's trying you know, but uh" and the crowd immediately recognizes he is just a dumbass
