blue footed boobie posted:TJ Dillashaw seemed destined to be a poster boy for why it’s bad to be the guy who ignores bodily trauma to be *tough* ever since the Cejudo fight. Regardless of how you feel about the guy, going into a fight with a shoulder that’s slipping out of the socket and then fighting with an arm dangling uselessly by your hip so you can get pounded is just the dumbest idea* UFC fighters have to do this because if they pull out of the fight due to injury, there is no guarantee they ever get that title shot ever again. In addition, fighters have to pay for their fight camps even if the fight doesn't take place.

Most of the major mma media people work for organizations, they don't work for themselves. For example, if Luke and Brian from Morning Kombat have a crazy exclusive interview with Conor McGregor, and it blows up and gets 10 million views, Luke and Brian don't get paid for each additional click. They have a set contract. They would like to have high ratings when it comes down to renegotiate their contracts, but having that one crazy video with Conor isn't going to have any meaningful impact on their negotiations. ----------------------------------------------- There also needs to be a distinction... most of these people are "MMA media" they are not journalists. Chuck Mindenhall tracking down a fighter from Ultimate Fighter 1, and writing an article about him "IN SEARCH OF STRANGE BREW...". THAT'S journalism. https://www.mmafighting.com/2015/3/24/8259545/in-search-of-strange-brew Being a talking head on a youtube channel, giving your opinion on the scoring of Paddy vs Gordon, and then talking about who Paddy should fight next. That's MMA media. If a fighter has a large enough fan base to make an impact on the viewers of a MMA media show, they should be paid. But those same fighters should also want as much exposure as possible to grow their fan base even more, and should be willing to do interviews for free.

Stephen A Smith isn't a journalist. Appearing on his show boosts YOUR profile. Its an entertainment show. I think we need to be clear about what we are talking about.

One, Bellator, UFC should pay so that the podcast talks about their promotions!! I don't listen to podcasts for commercials, but sometimes I will listen to a podcast that talks about the UFC!!!

COMBINED UFC/B-LEAGUE THREADS: Love it. COMBINED UFC/B-LEAGUE GDTS: Love it. MY ENDLESS WORD VOMIT: I don't read them, but I get the impression that the majority of posters love it. OKAY, BUT HOW ARE YOU DOING: Company had mass lay offs right before Thanksgiving, bad time to work in the mortgage industry. So now I'm unemployed for the holidays.  I work in banking/finance compliance (5-10 years experience). I'm in California Bay Area and am struggling to find a job at even 75% of the median income range for this area. I should have learned to code. Thinking about moving out of the country. So frustrated.

Here's some depressing news: https://combatsportslaw.com/2022/12/18/study-41-of-retired-fighters-likely-have-cte-the-more-bouts-the-higher-the-risk/ quote:Results 176 participants (110 boxers and 66 MMA) were included in the analysis. 72 (41%)/176 were categorised as having Traumatic Encephalopathy Syndrome (“TES” which are the criterial for when someone is suspected to have CTE while alive since a formal diagnosis cannot be made until death), the likelihood of TES increasing with age. TES+ participants tended to be boxers, started fighting at a younger age, had more professional fights and knocked out more frequently.

blue footed boobie posted:I like the crazy long write ups, but can we get a ban on quoting them in full? Reading this thread involves so much scrolling I feel like I miss content. A 24 hour probation would be good enough, because then the poster won't be able to participate in the GDT until after it happened. And I agree, even if someone just quotes half of it, that is a ton of scrolling.
