They were saying that when gsp beat hughes the 2nd time, that while ppl now train in one discipline (and pick up others later) in the future they'll be training in all facets of the game and be more high level/complete fighters. Well the first TUF was damn near a decade ago so anyone we see now around 20 or younger should be part of this group. Personally I dont think there is going to be that big of a difference in talent. We will just get a handful of diamonds in the rough and so called "smart" fighters

don't underestimate us 90s babies :ufdup:

One of the biggest problems. You got mofukkas on the prelims making 8gs to show.. meanwhile mega sick n flabby mofukkas like mir getting that 200k. obviously drawing power is a factor but that disparity needs to plateau. i'm betting even the shyttest nba teams even get a few hundred thousand, if not a milli per player:beli:
Dude mir is a ex-champion thats headlined ppvs that have sold very well, hes also been around for dog years. But he should be makin the same as the joey nobody who is a flyweight that has only been in the game a minute?

i'm not saying his money should be reduced, and i know he's a veteran. i'm using him as an example to point out that the pay difference is too great. 8 grand is a fukking joke when you're in the premier mma promotion in the world. i'm saying bring it up some, not immediately to mir level.

I'm talking bout all weights in general.. not just flyweights. Besides.. flyweight is a relatively new division. give mofukkas time to accept it. remember when light, feather and bantamweight were added? mofukkas was like gtfo we ain't lookin at midgets, now they blown up. give the divison time to fill out with legit fighters, and this 'nobody' talk will be history.

Breh these wrestlers have been working on timing and explosiveness since they are 4-5 years old, I was literally :mindblown: looking at some of the shyt these kids are doing, 7 year olds with 40'' box jumps :damn: . A high level wrestler only needs a few years to get his bjj up. Now a lot of these wrestlers are taking Muay Thai/boxing at a early age as well, hell at my son's wrestling school half of those kids take some form of striking. MMA is going to have an extremely high level of competition in a few years imo.
Krack you got your son lacing them gloves up too along side his wrestling?

Nah he doesn't like it :dead: I work pads with him sometimes but he's a grappler at heart, he just wants to wrestle.:manny: He's the one that's been getting me into mma, a lot of the Bellator and UFC guys train(Rashad Evans)/teach(Joe Warren) at his wrestling school. I think I posted a pic of him with the bellator title in the mma thread.
