Aldo is about to take Conor to Cuban Boxing School
They about to stand and run them hands. This is a very good look especially after Aldo's last match with Mendes.
One thing I do dispise is the lack of skill a lot of these MMA fighters have when throwing a punch. Everything is always a looping hook/haymaker
Him working on his boxing and tightening it up is beautiful.

Chad Mendes just inked a new 8 fight deal with UFC. That's a lot of fights... Very interested in knowing how much he's making... I figure I would sign 4 fights deals. Which would be about 1-2 years. And you can leverage for more now if you stay consistent like he is... Very curious to his motivation in a long deal

He's probably praying for Conor to win.

This reebok deal is going to cause a mutiny. I'm sorry but if I am losing 5-6 figures per fight, I trying to get out my contract and head to Bellator.

This is very interesting because we know cowboy is about his money.
You may get your sponsors back but does Bellator have enough money per fight to pay these guys?

Bellator is owned by Viacom.

Well look at rampage why did he come crawling back... They didn't pay him like a Viacom star lol they paid him like a Bellator star. Even though they tried to roll out the red carpet to him.

Bellator paid him well.
I'm not even exactly sure why he left. Dude has had a fallout with pretty much every major promotion or sponsor he's worked for in the past few years (UFC, Bellator, Reebok, etc).
Doesn't mean the money is there for Coker to spend.

You're right, but if it's a top level (or big name) MMA talent, I'm sure Viacom would fork over some serious money. The money is there, but only in certain situations.
Yes. And they will pay good money if you were a name in the UFC i bet. This whole Reebok thing has been a PR nightmare. And then dikk head Dana goes on TV and shyts on Schaub claiming he wasn't making 100k from his shytty sponsors. Terrible situation going on
