magny get injured?

They probably felt this was the better match-up. I don't think Magny is injured, I could be wrong though.

From what a lot of people in the industry have said, a lot of sponsor money has dried up and with the UFC sponsor tax it has turned away sponsors as well. I think this will be mostly positive for the mid and lower tier fighters because now they are at least guaranteed some money.

yeah as soon as I read the news and saw the tweets it's clear the only real beneficiaries here are the mid to low tier dudes that were really starving for sponsors. There is no telling whether a Jones or Ronda might end up making less out of this esp Jones no way what he gets from this will be more than Nike.. All in all this wasn't necessary zuffa just got more rich and have taken away one of the unique aspects of the sport, individualism. I honestly hope dudes like Phil Davis can still come to the octagon looking like Brett Hart but with a fix logo on his gear. Cuz if every fighter comes out in one of 2 colours ala TUF that will be brutal. Now we know what the timeisnow shyt was really about


Ps I think bellator and wsof fighters are also going to benefit from this no? I mean where else will all the mma sponsors go?

I stopped reading when I saw you gave Lawler/Hendricks II the Are you an MMA fan? How are these fights not good?

because ufcs motives are transparent and I don't believe in Lawler. He wouldn't be where he is if shields and Fitch were in town. Hendricks also hasn't made an impression having been on the IR all his reign so it feels like whatever. And to answer your q it's clear the fights with the Stephen a smiley are the ones that pique interest

I don't give a fukk about this deal, but they better letter Anderson Silva where his black and yellow that he wears every fight, or i riot.

Dana's transition to Vince McMahon lite is complete. Next stop, no more blood in MMA

What motives?

Why are you always complaining and talking down on fights & fighters?

 

[Roman Brady]

What motives?

they clearly want Lawler to have next

Why are you always complaining and talking down on fights & fighters?

why does any fan speak out against a team, player or fighter?

Lawler deserves the title shot.

Most fans speak out when they need to. You do it all the time.

[The G.O.D II]

UFC inked a deal with Reebok

http://www.mmamania.com/2014/12/2/7...year-ufc-apparel-deal-beginning-july-2015-mma


Positives:

--All the Reebok money goes to the fighters.
--20-percent cut on the back end whenever a fighter's gear is purchased.
--Fighters can customize uniforms by choosing colors and styles of apparel and kit.
--Fighters can continue to be sponsored by non-Reebok entities, just not inside the cage or on location during fight week.

Negatives:

--Fighters can no longer display outside sponsor logos during UFC fight week official events, including fight night, UFC-produced content or other official UFC events.
--Individual sponsor banners are no longer permitted for the walkout or inside the Octagon.
--Existing or prospective sponsors may use an athlete's name and likeness outside of UFC fight week but cannot use UFC trademarks unless they have a direct commercial relationship with UFC.

So what about guys like Rockhold and Lawler who have Addidas deals? Or ppl like Cowboy or Tate who have Bud deals?
