Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 14, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Yeah. Seen some moaning that Yan vs Sterling is co-main under Nunes vs Anderson. I donāt have a problem with it myself. Yan vs Sterling is the more interesting fight, Nunes fight is probably going to be a mauling. But whatever. Nunes is ace. And besides, main or co-main, who gives a jizz? Itās not like we canāt watch both. Thereās always the chance this McGregor vs Poirier rematch lands on this card as well. If itās actually real. Wasnāt McGregor banging on about it being on 255 or 256?Ā Edited October 14, 2020 by wandshogun09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 I know it's not the done thing to back McG at all, but he's really being fucked over by the UFC's seeming refusal to give him a fight while there's no fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen this; Wonder why theyāre insisting on January. What odds does it make to them to throw it onĀ either theĀ November or December PPVs? I donāt get it. I mean, fuck McGregor as always but itāsĀ like theyāre just being awkward for the sake of it. Between Danaās little tiff with Conor recently and Poirier trying to get more dough, this just seems like Dana flexing as a bit of a āfuck youā to them both. Itās a matter of weeks difference. Why does it have to be January?Ā Edited October 14, 2020 by wandshogun09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted October 14, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 14, 2020 It probably does have a fair bit of muscle flexing behind it, but the other part of it may be paying champions PPV points. My guess is McGregor's next fight, like the Cerrone one, is with him in the main event of a show with very little back up underneath. No title fights, and very few names. They don't want to give Yan or Nunes points (should they be in a position to get them, contractually) when they didn't drive the buys.Ā Whatever it takes to maximize profit I guess, especially while there aren't any fans. Though they could finally do a full stadium show in Florida if they wanted to take that risk, by the sounds of what is coming out of there. Zero restrictions on stadium attendance I gather?Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 You know what the mental thing is? See if McGregor was halfway smart, he could probably afford to hire a couple of lawyers who could rip that UFC contract to shreds in any court in the land. Imagine if that happened? The fallout would be immense, and would probably turn Conor from a hated figure into the man who (inadvertently) changed MMA contract history forever.

Zebra Kid Mark Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Nice video. His girlfriend is dressed like Vicky Pollard. Why did the Cagewarriors guy say "I've just signed you to the UFC" ? I know there is a partnership with the whole fight pass and Cage Warriors agreementĀ but what power does he have for the UFC?Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 20, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2020 not quite sure what the arrangement is but i think he manages alot of the fighters he promotes, he's probably taking a decent slice of the pie every time a Cage Warriors fighter signs with the UFC too.
