Depends on who it is

He's a light weight or a feather weight. And the last fight I saw him in he won on the prelims. I think he has less then 10 fights. More wins than loses tho

Ask his background
Why he chose MMA
Why he chose UFC
How he feels about the Reebok deal
What his prediction is for Aldo and Conor
Where he wants to go next in the sport, who he wants to face

I saw this.

Gate was supposedly $5mm
Disclosed pay was $2.5mm

It's always about half. Even with a couple million in bonus money UFC gets a nice ass profit

Just listened to some of the MMA Hour

Benson Henderson is trying to move up to 170 full time

He says he walks around at around 185. and of course, cutting weight sucks.

And of course, the new drug testing policy makes it difficult to cut crazy weight like that

I like the other picture with Conor being the king and also being the god. And it says "what's a king to a god"

I can't understand what you're saying

 

[Tommy Knocks]

I can't understand what you're saying

He got cut...then went to bellator, obv after fighting there, the ufc offered him a contract which increased tenfold as to draw him away from them. 500k??????
meanwhile DC is 150k?
