I think it's freedom and flexibility above simply money.

Has anyone left and not gotten a significant pay increase?

 

[Maklershed]

I'm not sure where you're located and possibly it's different outside the US, but inside, I can't watch full fight night cards on Fight Pass, just the 'fight pass prelims', the rest out the card is blacked out on fight pass. Have to switch over to the TV

And if you're in the US and you don't see it on your Fox channel (ie you're near Philly and pre-season football is on tonight), check around for those weird Fox affiliate channels. I found the fights on some channel I never knew I had - WQMY 13? It looks like it just runs syndicated shows, talk shows, and judge shows.

Also, KING KEVIN CASEY IS BACK!

You're damn right.

That white dude on the right in the begining looks like he borrowed his mothers sunglasses.

I think it's freedom and flexibility above simply money.

for the older, established guys like Benson or Rory it makes sense for them to take the money Bellator is offering, but for younger guys looking to make their name, I think the UFC still represents the peak of competition and ability to make money.

[parrotbeak]

Green dude has a wet spot on his asshole.

Oh it looked lower when they were on the ground.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Apparently the UFC on Fox is going to be blacked out in some markets because they are going to show preseason football instead. LOL.

 

[Guru-Guru]

King Casey up next! I still have fond memories of when he tweeted a warning to Weidman that he was gonna climb the ladder and beat him up. This was immediately after getting a suspension for steriods, IIRC.

 

[parrotbeak]

I didn't know Smiling Sam was on TUF.

 

[brentech]

Figures, my directv signal dropping out during this storm that just started here. Going to be pissed if I miss the main event.

Edit
Alvey's stance/walk/mannerisms reminds me of Scott Smith. That flat footed, upright form.

 

[iddqd]

Casey is one of those guys that always puzzles me on what kind of dark magic he is using to be able to stick around.
His UFC record is nuts:

I like Smiling Sam and am glad he won. He's more exciting than King Casey.

 

[brentech]

Jesus Christ. This guy putting on the absolute worst Chael impression. Take the mic away

 

[Beardz]

Jesus Christ. This guy putting on the absolute worst Chael impression. Take the mic away

woooo!

 

[parrotbeak]

I don't think he was trying to impersonate Chael. I think he has a legit mental retardation.

 

[parrotbeak]

Good fight. I got it 29-28 Creepy Joe

 

[iddqd]

I also had it Lauzon, the take downs edged it out for me in the first two rounds.

 

[SoundLad]

Close fight, I thought Joe was gonna win

 

[RBelong2Us]

could have gone either way. Miller definitely won the stand up and Joe needed to do a bit more on the ground.

 

[Macattk15]

Man. That shitty decision ruined my parlay.

Still had Paige needing to win though for the end of it ....

 

[VenomousCoffee]

This Aussie girl looks bigger than 115.

 

[Fox318]

OH SHIT

 

[Alex Anderson]

Oh my god, she actually hurt her with one of those kicks

 

[Yaari]

Man. That shitty decision ruined my parlay.

rip

 

[brentech]

damnnnnnn

 

[ldcommando]

dat pvz kick

 

[parrotbeak]

That was nice but was hoping it would be bloodier for her new fans.

 

[Macattk15]

rip

Fucking Jim Miller.

 

[Fox318]

That was nice but was hoping it would be bloodier for her new fans.

somebody needs to slip somebody a razor and let the juice flow.

Color will bring in more money

 

[RBelong2Us]

oh damn haha, that was pretty awesome. Getting that bonus tonight.

 

[ldcommando]

Dwts training paying off

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the UFC should have men holding the ring cards during women fights.

 

[Chesskid1]

mickey gall has no fight footage of punk to study while punk does

that will be a huge advantage

 

[brentech]

the UFC should have men holding the ring cards during women fights.

should force the earlier male prelim fighters to do it for all the female fights on the card. That'll get guys interested in a union

 

[Ninja Scooter]

mickey gall has no fight footage of punk to study while punk does

that will be a huge advantage

that's going to be negated by the fact that the reason Mickey Gall has no footage of Punk to study is because Punk has zero experience and is basically a 36 year old amateur.

 

[DMczaf]

mickey gall has no fight footage of punk to study while punk does

that will be a huge advantage

Gall can watch all of Punk's fight footage on WWE Network for $9.99 a month

 

[Fox318]

I know they need to promote it but I really don't want to hear or see punk until the fight anymore.

"I'm not doing this for the fame"

Yeah dude you're doing it for the money.

How many other coaches would let somebody with no expierence and with no amature fights have his first fight against somebody with the atheltic background gall has?

I think he's genuine in that he just wants the experience. If it were all about the money, he could have gone back to WWE for a huge payday last year when everyone was injured and Vince was desperate. Or he could have gone to TNA. I think he really just wants this to be a "bucket list" thing, which is also why I think he's going to get his ass kicked. He's doing this as a hobby and going up against hungry dudes who want to do this for a living, and whose livelihoods depend on it.

Gall better watch out for Punk's defense.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

 

[alr1ght]

Will lol when Punk gets 2 million disclosed versus Galls 10 and 10.

 

[brentech]

This is how Tony Romo rehabs his back

 

[alpinestars1980]

This is how Tony Romo rehabs his back

There is no rehabbing his back these days. 😑😔

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Pettis is an idiot. Have Olivera beat on the feet and follows him down to the ground.

 

[iddqd]

Screaming at the TV for Pettis to let him get up. Just let him get up and hurt him to the body again.

Only way I can pisture punk winning is if he gets lucky and gets a guillotine in if Gall tries to shoot in for a single or double to get Punk on the ground.

Maybe Punk gets a lucky strike in but I just can't picture somebody as old as him with no striking expierence prior to signing 2 years ago having any success there.

 

[Guru-Guru]

Screaming at the TV for Pettis to let him get up. Just let him get up and hurt him to the body again.

Yeah, same here!

 

[VoxPop]

God Oliveira fights like a bitch.

Hope him and Maia get ktfo.
