Dana White shyt on Paulo Costa.

“You signed a contract, you’re under contract,” White said in response to Costa’s comments during an interview with TSN’s Aaron Bronsteter. “If that’s the way you feel, you know what I say all the time, we have fights every weekend. If you want to be busy, you can fight every weekend if you want to. Get out of your contract, and go do whatever you want to do.”

“You’re in no position to be talking about crazy money after your last performance,” White stated. “You either want to fight, or you don’t want to fight.”

Many fighters have recently spoken out about the paydays that YouTubers are making in the boxing ring against retired fighters versus what they are taking home from the UFC, but White isn’t swayed. “You should be happy for the kid. Good for him,” White said.

“You should have started a YouTube channel when you were 13 years old and built your name up and everything else, and you could’ve had the fight on Saturday night, but you didn’t,” White stated.

The UFC boss maintains that if fighters want to test the waters and see if there is more money to be made elsewhere, that’s fine with him, as soon as the currently contracted business is completed.

“You’re not a YouTuber, you’re a fighter, and this is what you do for a living – or you don’t, it’s up to you,” White stated.

“Come back and put yourself in a position to do something big.”
Dana White suggests Paulo Costa fight out UFC contract, 'should have started a YouTube channel' at 13

These UFC fighters are fukked. Anytime they want to buck on the pay all Dana White gotta do is ask if anyone willing to fight for six figures and a shot at the top 5 and he'll a line of replacements.

There are plenty of different karate rule sets. Those rules you're talking about is derived from Kyokushin karate. They fight bareknuckle. Those guys have gloves. That same rule set also does not allow ground and pound.
Exactly that shyt is fake my dude, the guy above said it was a tv show.

No Karate practices face punches forreal. The non Kyokushin ones are even worse, just pointfighting.
