Nate’s really handicapped without the option of the Stockton Slap or the Middle Finger.

i think about the look on carla's face during the walkout against joanna all the time.

joanna was loudly hitting pads in the greenroom next to carla before the fight and you could tell carla was shook.

What a hilarious career she’s had

Primus has a weird ability to win fights where he doesn't stand a chance tho

Lol at Michael Chandler having to pull the ol lay and pray to win their rematch.

I don’t want Cat Zingano to take Cyborg punches to the head.

So the plaintiffs in that lawsuit against the UFC (Cung Le, Jon Fitch, etc) got a W today.

https://bloodyelbow.com/2023/08/10/ufc-antitrust-lawsuit-certified-power/

https://www.cbssports.com/mma/news/ufc-antitrust-lawsuit-plaintiffs-granted-class-certification-in-decade-long-fight-for-fighter-rights/ (this article is shorter and has a nice bulleted summary)

KEY POINTS:

- The judge granted them class action certification, so the ~1200 fighters who fought for Zuffa from 2010-2017 can join the lawsuit.

- They’re seeking $811 million to $1.6 billion in damages.

- The judge stated that the UFC engaged in anticompetitive practices and ruthless, coercive techniques to prevent fighters from becoming free agents.

- The court can now set a date for the suit to move forward, barring any successful appeal.

Hopefully it’ll lead to some restitution and better contracts for fighters in general.

E: From an older article covering subpoenaed UFC internal communication and deposition from mean little fucker Joe Silva

quote:

Silva’s negotiating style is also on display in emails from April 2010, when he discussed his approach to trying to re-sign Nick Diaz (see Extract 4). “I lowballed them on purpose the first offer knowing they would turn it down,” wrote Silva. “How bout I come back with 29+29, 32+32, 35+35, 38+38. If they turn it down I put him in a prelim against a really tough guy for his last fight.”

In his deposition Silva was asked about this tactic of giving a fighter a “really tough guy” for their final fight, if they have refused to re-up with the UFC. Talking about the Diaz situation, Silva said he would have given Diaz a “tough guy regardless”, but conceded that he was more likely to give a fighter who re-upped a slot on a main card versus a fighter who was fighting out their contract.
