Cerrone: "What about the worst fight?"
CM Punk: "The worst fight?"
Cerrone: "Your boy, DC. Terrible!"
CM Punk: "What?"
Cerrone: "Terrible. How are you going to give up weight and then fight like a f*g, man?"

Cerrone is doomed. He is going to be punished just as bad as bisping was. Poor guy
Lol people complain about everything these days.

Which of those two is better? I'm only willing to spend enough time to demonstrate why one of those is weaker than 200. And if neither is the best, pick another one because I'm only doing this once and you aren't getting second chances.
How did the Dos Anjos fight end up on some scrub Thursday night card? Looking at the 201 card and it's garbage except the main fight. Surely the Dos Anjos fight would be a good addition and a decent co-main event instead of having Brown vs Ellenberger being the fight prior. What's the logic GAF?

It is not uncommon at all for a title fight to headline a non-PPV, plus they need to make Fight Pass worth it and attract new subscribers. They also wanted this past weekend to have something special every night. Not to mention, 201 was a bigger event until it lost one of its headliners to injury, and it was way too late to shuffle somebody from this weekend's fights to that card--the injury just happened days ago.
hes just bitter as fuck that he lost his money.
Silva could have tried more shit on his back
Can't believe I'm saying Punk is right.'
Thats the UFC telling Dos Anjos to go fuck himself after ruining all of their conor plans.
This is a joke and I don't see how you can even defend this as a money match like certain other undeserved title shots. This is like a 300k buyrate main event.

It's meant to make The Count look strong and build up anticipation for a Bisping/Weidman matchup.

I was pretty surprised with the fight as well, but at the same time I wasn't. I thought DC would just be able to overpower virtually anything, but he really had trouble with Silva's lockdown--a strategy I didn't really expect to see from Silva. Most people have no offense to speak of from half-guard lockdown, as it's primarily a defensive stall technique that is difficult to break. I imagine Silva was hoping that DC would wear himself out fighting against it or force more referee stand-ups, but it also seems likely that Silva just wanted to not get himself smashed.
Don't forget that Chael did that on bunches of PEDs while Silva had injured his ribs severely enough that the doctors almost didn't clear him to fight.
The Count just beat Anderson Silva and Luke Rockhold back to back. Does he really need to beat 3-6 Dan Henderson and avenge a knockout from 100 UFC events ago to look strong for Chris Weidman?

The ZUFFA era is ending
$4b... not a bad ROI...
Cerrone done goofed but at least he apologized in short order. Wonder if he can still keep his spot at UFC 202? There's going to be some sort of repercussion for this one.

Chael told Joe Rogan on his podcast that Jon Jones was popped for estrogen blockers.

Is Dillashaw's pay for real? It seems ridiculously low for a former champ.
The nice thing is that Joanna seemed to get a disclosed payout of $210,000. As a fan I'm happy to see her get so "much".
I sadly thought she'd barely clear 6 figures.

He's not a draw at all and nobody cares about him.
His nobody opponent has a higher base pay, and maybe doubles with a win.
It seems really odd.

They do. I think the ones getting PPV points are the ones not showing a win bonus.
If you notice the FS1 and Fight Pass fights show a plus bonus. It's typically the same as their show-money.

At least Silva only got caught after his career was over.

Yeah, it does a number of things - when your testosterone skyrockets, estrogen grows with it. I'm on a blocker and all I get is testosterone injections. It's absolutely mandatory for me. However Jones' Testo levels are super low, right? I can't remember.

I laughed too much at this.
mmahour was pretty good.
-dolce says he charges 5% of fighter's purses for his services
-stann said he was once sponsored by a supplements company, a major one you could buy anywhere. he decided not to take their supplements, though. later, the supplements were recalled for containing meth.
-ariel asked every guest about UFC's sale and if they should be paid more if thats the money UFC is worth.
-jones manager said jon said he would destroy the cormier that showed up to fight silva
i also read cormier's pay was cut in half since he fought silva instead.

Wonder if DC may have just hit the wall of his athletic peak. He is 37 years old.

He's probably been declining athletically for his entire MMA career, if his biology is like any other 30-plus-year-old's. He can still cultivate technique though, and both of his divisions are full of old men anyway.

You're confusing main card for main event. 196's main card was garbage aside from the main event and co-main and 194's was uneven as hell.

Don't worry. Bang's all natural peanut butter is raking in the bucks. I'm sure TJ gets a cut.

TJ should at least be getting paid more than Sage that's for sure.
They are still hoping Sage and Paige become the Aryan wonder twins they were banking on.

DC getting $100k less than Silva is all types of of wrong.
Just watched that whole episode. Chael uses Trump hand gestures lol.
I imagine that a weight cut absolutely kills t levels.
Your natural t levels are also shit after a cycle of anabolic steroids, so there's that too lol.

She just lost out on a ton of money potentially missing the MSG show and maybe one last fight with Ronda.
She didn't come into the cage ready and her last second weight cut I think illustrated that.
