I gave GSP a pass when he got the immediate middleweight shot, but he also wasn’t a rampant cheat.

Someone supercut this with Randy and half a dozen fighters I can't remember right now.

I think the only ban he's ever stuck to was Paul Daley.

It's a little hard to tell from context how much of what he's saying is "I won't let him fight in the UFC" and how much is "We've failed negotiations with him for years, it's realistically never gonna happen". Now obviously the reason for the failed negotiations is probably his own greed and desire to underpay everyone etc, but like if Ngannou suddenly decides he wants to fight for the same amount he was being paid before, I have a feeling Dana won't say no.
That plus the retirement clause is how they starved Randy out for years. Back then you could at least make the argument that co-promoting with M-1 / Vadim Finkelstein in order to get Fedor in the cage would have been a terrible decision for the UFC, and Dana was likely still smarting from that time he let Chuck go to Pride and get trashed by Rampage (and nearly before that by desiccated Overeem). Ngannou's situation is 150% about keeping a boot on fighter pay after letting Conor get out of hand. Their biggest nightmare is someone who gets that amount of star power, performs consistently, and is too smart to self-immolate.

maybe if the UFC paid fighters instead of anyone reasonably athletic and north of 225lbs seeing the NFL as safer, more ethical, and vastly more lucrative

Obviously UFC should pay fighters more but the difference between MMA pay (in any organization, even for champions) and NFL pay is astronomical isn't it?
I can't substantiate this, but back when Jones was at his peak I recall people on this very forum saying he out-earned both his brothers.

How is it considered unsuccessful if the kick connected with Jones' cup and caused the fight to need a break in the action for Jones to recover from the nut shot?
how is any time jones gets kicked in the dick not a victory on some level

pretty sure you can make more as a bouncer in a mid sized city than you can in the UFC.

Actually, I said this sort of jokingly, but i picked a random heavyweight and it turns out he's on 25,000 a fight.

He actually could make more as a bouncer where I live, like really easily.
Holy poo poo; I could make more than that as a bouncer.

That was thankfully less gnarly than I expected... but his ACL is gone, right?

Shumagorath
Jun 6, 2001
It looks like his opponent's femur isn't in line with the kick and the thick part of his shin is below the impact, so the kneecap takes the full force. Maybe better than I originally thought since presumably you can bolster the kneecap more easily than you can rehab an ACL? Either way it's loving brutal.
