How big is MMA in Australia? That's a pretty big venue for a card that looks :sadcam:

It will sell out. Apparently Melbourne does really well on PPV for them and it's there first time there. As bad as this card looks without condit/lawler, Ronda will probably sell that stadium out. I'm pretty convinced that lawler isn't that injured but they decided to put their biggest star in a 70k building

Bellator card was meh last night, Melvin looked flat but he did break his hand pretty badly. I am looking forward to the Dynamite card in September though.

Hopefully Robbie isn't out too long and they can re-book the title fight soon.

can't tell if you have a gimmick going or if you truly believe that but that's news too me :leon: Seeing as though you are playing the role of "the shill" what's your opinion on the reebook deal. Upping the sponsorship tax to the point the little to mid guys started rethinking whether it was worth the trouble. So zuffa prefix that as "sponsors dried up" :heh: like there was no action (on there part) that led to a reaction in the market. I ain't really on the shortsighted bandwagon that fighters should be paid like boxers but this Reebok/sponsorship tax fiasco has flat out shortchanged fighters and it was completely avoidable

No gimmicks brehs, the reebok deal is what it is. Ufc wants to be looked at as a big national sport, that reebok deal is a big step towards that. Fighters gotta remember ur job is to fight. Not hold posters at ringside 20secs b4 you fight. U go out fight and let the ufc handle the marketing and if u perform well u get compensated.

Imagine watching an nfl gm and b4 Russell Wilson runs into the huddle him, and the offense lineman r hold a banner with 20 sponsors on it, lol. Wld he make money he'll yea. But it's juvenile and unprofessional. And 2 be frank some of these gate keepers and middle tier guys had their established and we're caking off sponsors and didn't care bout Goin for that KO or for a run at the title. They were happy jus 2 lay n prey n collect sponsor money. And that's bad for the ufc as a whole. U need good fights to sell. So I have no problem with the reebok deal. If u want more money, win ur fight, fight more often and work up the rankings towards the money.

Smaller lower tier fighters complaining about losing sponsor money is like a lower tier nba players arguing saying I want that lebron money. Like naw, u an u drafted free agent, take dis non guaranteed deal n have a seat on the bench. When u earn ur stripes then u'll get da money.

U wanna know why Ronda is such a big thing, it's not cous she's a girl, or da champ or undefeated. It's cous she finishes fights. She has the Mike Tyson thing Goin on where u jus wanna watch to see how quick she finishes it this time. Anderson had that for awhile too, same wit Chuck u jus didn't wanna be the guy to miss the KO. The reason why mighty mouse ain't sellin ppls, he struggled to finish. Real mm a heads can see the skill and dominate he has but the casual fan which is the money maker they the ones booing whenever fights go to the floor. (I hate when da crowd does that)

Hey if u don't respect dana's business iq then stop watching the ufc. If he didn't tell da festival to buy it, there prolly wldnt be no ufc right. And odds are no mma on local or cable TV.

So hate da man, hate da reebok deal all u want, but respect his business otherwise half da ish every1 be talking in the thread wldnt exist as there wld be no ufc most likely.
