I assume that's the result of the DWCS funnel, where the UFC likely has a lot more control over incoming talent, in shaping what they see as normal, and in being able to standardize a process that makes sure new talent is paid a pittance. I don't actually know anything, that's just my guess.

Most of what CarlCX called sounds right, but I do think Dricus Du Plessis is going to drop Brunson, who really looked his age against Cannonier. My guess is that this is the beginning of the end for Brunson, and that this fight ends up being pretty lopsided for Du Plessis.

Heyyy I feel pretty good about this call. Brunson had some wrestling in round 1 go his way and traded for a little while, but was then just overpowered and blown out by the end of round 2.

Chris Barnett has forever endeared himself for that wheel kick into sumo flip he landed a year or so ago. Probably the best prelim moment I've ever seen.

Buffer getting 50k a card is obscene in real terms.


It's really not though. He's an identifiable part of the prestige associated with the UFC. The ring announcers for ONE, Bellator, and other promotions pale in comparison. Just because fighters are underpaid doesn't mean he is overpaid.

Tyson Harrison vs. Rambo was a banger, holy poo poo.

This is the first time I've seen a Muay Thai fight. This is loving awesome.

Welcome to Muay Thai, where the prevailing ethos is that we trade until the bell and both believe the other person's body will shut down first.


Edit: Oh hell yeah, Rambo gets the bonus too. That's awesome.

Avatar and Komawut are crazy. Probably over 80 elbows thrown in this fight.

Can you punch people in the neck? Legalize neck punches to keep heads safe.
