[Vincent Van Goat]

Volk and Justin are ahead of Arman but if things fall a certain way, if he beats Benny, he can get a title shot by the end of next year

Only a matter of time. He beat gamrot smh

 

[アミーゴ]

Also just saw they made the Dec 2 FN at the Moody Center in TX. That looks like a nice card but man when is Seattle's new Key Arena (still hate the Climate Pledge name lol) gonna get an event??

I really enjoy early fall around the PNW. This weekend we are getting today through Sunday in the 70s. Mornings do start cold in October but by noon or so it's perfect. Then you have leafs changing colors and all the fall themed stuff around.

Somedays are in the 50s to low 60s and rainy though so you take the good with the bad.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He’s getting real racial lately

 

[steevoo1]

Wouldn't expect less from someone who associates themselves with a warlord dictator in Kadyrov.

Cultural awareness he is lacking. Heard it’s a response to something Devin Haney said.

Going back to the OneFC tea Vincent Van Goat posted. I saw something on Reddit that they pay ish to their fighters. So the crazy contracts isn’t a surprise either. It’s like Amazon is contracting out MMA to a cheap Pacific factory (insert country Vietnam, Taiwan, China, India, etc).

The contract of former flyweight champion Adriano Moraes has brought shocking revelations, including a surprisingly low salary and some of the most restrictive clauses we've encountered. On the other hand, a contract for a debut fighter on ONE's popular 'Friday Fights' series contains numbers that are sure to astonish fight fans.

John Nash was on MK today going in to detail of their contracts. Tp be fair he did mention that fighters get backroom checks. Mentioned that court docs from Moraes gettung sued by his manager showed he got an extra 100-200k and a monthly promo allowance of 5k.

Their contracts are one sided as hell though. Worst than the old UFC and Bellator contracts. You're better off not being a champ in their company. Champs get auto extended to 4f/2yrs once they win the title. They also get fighters' image and likeness rights forever. Doesn't expire once their contracts are up. ******* insane.

 

[spiderjericho]

What does fighter rights and likeness mean? Video games, merchandise, etc?

Does that mean you can’t drop your own tees, video games and merch?

Or do we just mean the first UFC game where AKA left the UFC? And the fighters didn’t benefit from having their likeness in the game?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I love the synergy between all of the MMA media right now

Brian Campbell crossovers with MMAFighting. Bronstetter crossovers with MK. Mike Heck crossover Big Marcel. Many more

These guys are killing it on the daily. Every single day one of them has a show, can't go wrong

 

[spiderjericho]

Don’t know who Big Marcel is but he just made this announcement



That Arnold Allen/Evloev should be a banger.

He's this guy

 

[spiderjericho]

He has a podcast? Or he appears on em as a freelancer?

 

[xbiker47]

Periera went from being on a banger ppv card to an apex fight night nobody cares about
