I wonder if any fighters jump ship to...uh...somewhere else?

“UFC president Dana White said the promotion is only now falling in line with what has been standard practice in other professional sports organizations for years.”

Just another reason why I watch boxing.

This will probably be the end of him and he is celebrating it. Why would the UFC pay $20k a fight for a poor performance when they could pay $2,500?

Considering both this and the recent trajectory of Jon Jones, the UFC is basically Bum Fights now.

$5K for 10 fights. That’s almost as much money as PewDiePie makes on a single Mimecraft youtube.

UFC holds, what, 25 - 30 events in a calendar year? And most fighters will appear on just a few, while being expected to be in fighting shape for the entire year and cover their own expenses?

Never thought I’d say it but that’s more carny than Vince McMahon and WWE.

Being an independent contractor is super sweet.

Fighters Jessica Eye, Alistair Overeem, and Michael Chiesa came out in support of the new deal during a UFC Q&A

the losers get peanuts, the winners get Corn Nuts

Dana White is such a glorious piece of shit. It is utterly shocking that human cinder block has made it this far in life.

I would just change my name to Mercedes Benz Nike and plaster my name on the front of my trunks.

Jon Jones is never going to give up that coke sponsorship

Fuck Dana White

I challenge you on your “NASCAR fans would follow drivers to horse racing!” ideas. Seems... unlikely.

Dana White said the promotion is only now falling in line with what has been standard practice in other professional sports organizations for years.

Hopefully this is the final straw that leads to a mass exodus from the UFC. The sport can’t grow until athletes are paid commensurately with the revenues of the organization... who would honestly choose MMA over football, basketball, soccer, or pretty much any other professional sport where you can get paid 10X as…

Anyone else think that this could be the final nail in the coffin for UFC? I understand fighters do it for the love of it, but this is a huuuuuge cut into their money.

dana is a punk

So who’s going to be the next Ken Shamrock and make a real, full-out WWE jump?
