Recently read that if the corner stops the fight, the fighter loses half their purse. Makes it a lot harder to stop a fight.

That can't be an athletic commission rule. Are you saying that's a UFC policy? If that was true that'd be ******* pathetic, making corners choose between their fighters health and a check. I can't see that being a real thing.

Read it off of Ariel's twitter. Didn't mention whether it was a commission thing, but I highly doubt it.

Been thinking a lot about the Cerrone-Masvidal fight. Wonder if corners would be more inclined to end fights if full purse was guaranteed...

Not to say they'd do it carelessly/prematurely but I sense there's often a hesitation cause much more than W/L is at stake. Half the purse. https://t.co/eH3DOl9we3

And not suggesting corners don't care for their fighters well being. On the contrary. But very tough spot b/c significant money is at stake. https://t.co/jHv3W6Ii26

Also, I'm not criticizing Cowboy's corner. They know him better than me. It just got me thinking in light of Mitrione/Bader recent comments. https://t.co/Hn1VKgM1HI

Not surprising if that ufc corner policy is true. Just another way they screw over their employees / talent.

Wow. That's seriously ****** up. Fighters union is needed, that's pathetic.
 
This Andrade chick is vicious with the body shots and pressure, damn. Her vs Joanna would be dope. Angela Hill is tough but this chick is too much
 
I feel like if I try to put her in the missionary position she'd reverse me.
 
andrade doesn't cover up well. If she wants to win the belt she has to work on that.
 
valentina's face didn't even have any marks from her fight. I hope ball kicker pena's vagina is sore.
