Damn. This is one of those things I wish I never learned about. This would have been awesome.

Dana. Such a hypocrital asshole.
During every season of TUF, he goes on his usual testosterone fueled diatribe about how real fighters are here to fight anyone at anytime no matter what. Other champs or top contenders have passed up certain fights where they had much more to lose than gain and Dana took to every outlet…
Yeah, I love the attitude that champions shouldn’t defend their titles against top contenders, they should just sit on their ass for a year waiting for the fight that will bring them the most money. All of the top contenders who are actively fighting never get a title shot, because they’re not marketable enough. Way…
Yeah, it’s a bold strategy Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for her.
and the $500k was only disclosed amount. She gets a cut of PPV’s for being a champ plus any locker room bonuses. I am sure she hit six figures. It wasn’t a horrible idea, plus she was winning the fight besides the 2nd round and all 3 judges had her winning going into the 5th and Miesha would only have had a draw if…
Dana just says some word diarrhea in the general direction of whoever he doesn’t like, thinking it generates “interest"
Yes. The sport is about the fighters, not Dana White.
Would the UFC and MMA be where it is today without Dana White though? Yes he’s let the power go to his head in astounding ways, but let’s not forget that the sport is more popular than ever under his leadership.
And she got at least a $500,000 paycheck at that. I really can’t blame her for taking on Tate instead of waiting for Rousey.
Remember when Dana called out Jon Jones a few years ago for not fighting after someone else backed out of a fight? I believe he said he murdered that particular PPV, because he wouldn’t fight Cael Sonnen. So back then, Jones should not have waited to fight someone...but this time, Holly should have?
Spot on, and if she manages to last out the round, she probably wins on decision and we’re not talking about this. Too bad for her, Tate’s Hail Mary worked out.
It’d be one thing if Tate came in and submitted her in 30 seconds, but these two had a heck of a fight, one that Holm likely would have won if she had made it to the end of round five. She still has plenty of credibility and marketing power.
I’d trust what White is saying here, given that White himself waited years and years to start cashing in on a women’s division until Rousey fell into his lap.
she might’ve missed the payday, but she’s still top-5, people know her name and is fully capable of working her way back to title contention. if anything, she’s at the mercy of UFC matchmaking which doesn’t always make the most sense or just overlooks deserving fighters because of other interests.
This is what bugs me about Dana White and UFC as a whole. What is the point of publicly calling her and and shaming her for this? She has to make money and White has clearly proven he isn’t going to throw cash their way for nothing. This is idiotic.
Thing is, I’m not sure Ronda was going to come back for that rematch. At least not by the rumored UFC 200 date. Holly completely decimated her. That matchup is just bad for Ronda and it also may have laid out the blueprint for other fighters to beat Rousey. Instead, Holly takes a fight on a Conor card that’s…
I’m not sure it’s a total loss. Sure the RR v. Holm rematch would have been a bigger deal had Holm kept the belt. Even with the loss, Holm gets a rematch against either of them regardless of the outcome of the RR-Tate fight. Holm is 34 and couldn’t wait for RR’s to decide when she’s ready or wants to fight again. The…
$20, as I understand it. Includes Bo Rai Chi, Triborg, Leatherface and Alien, as well as two costume packs, I think.
There have been two passes already, but they’ve never (and still don’t) include all the content. Last year I bought the collectors edition for $100 (may have cost more at launch, I waited) that included the first pass, which had the first wave of characters, skins, and fatalities, but they then released a few other…
