UFC Fight Night 68: Boetsch vs. Henderson Discussion Thread

What happened last night, guys?




You came out of the closet and announced your love for me, basically. I own your ******* AV and sig and didn't even have to win a bet on here with you. It's supposed to make me mad probably, but in reality it's ******* hilarious that the two posts (three now) I made regarding you got lodged in your ******* so deep that you proceeded to respond to everything I posted in here and stalk me around "downing" all my posts, then changed your sig and AV. You're on that Wolfman level of crazy. 


TLDR version: You blossomed from a girl into a young woman.




In something completely unrelated that actually matters, the UFC ****** so many guys out of bonuses last night. If you're going to financially cripple the majority of your roster by not allowing them to make money off of sponsors you could make up for it by throwing them an extra 50k for outstanding performances and make exceptions to the rule of 1 FOTN and 2 POTN bonuses. Everyone Dielegende mentioned plus Francisco Rivera at the very least should have gotten bonuses. I would really like to see a system put in place for the bonuses that rewards guys for finishing fights. ****, Legacy gives guys a grand to finish a fight. Guys on TUF get 25k to finish a fight (or at least used to) You can't hook guys on your main roster up for KOing someone in 21 seconds? Such horse ****.

Platypii make the best sailors.

Nooooo! Just because I love both dudes and don't want to see them fight even though it would probably be awesome.

I mean, when I see guys like Francisco Rivera (Who is probably top 10 or about to be top 10 in his division) being quoted on twitter as saying that he may have to get a second job to pay his bills because of the money he's losing from sponsors it annoys me badly. These guys need a union so bad it's not even funny. The amount of fighters that have spoken out about the Reebok deal is just a drop in the bucket compared to those who are too afraid to step out of line and say anything. There's a reason every other major sport has a players union and it's to prevent ******** like this happening where the athletes get robbed blind by billionaires. And yeah, everyone pretty much knows that there's more money being paid to fighters who perform well, but why not make that information public to please the fans and to give the fighter a little bit more press. If there were bonuses for finishing fights you'd see a lot less wall and stall and lay and pray also. A union would also prevent guys like Jake Shields from being cut from the roster. "Sorry you don't like the way he fights, but you can't just fire a top ten fighter who lost once to a guy on steroids." I don't know if these guys just don't care enough to try to unionize, if they're scared, or if there's some unspoken rule that if you don't swallow your pride and accept whatever the UFC gives you then you're some kind of whiner. If the brass at Zuffa wants to keep the Reebok deal and not give out bonuses for every finish another alternative that I think would please most fighters would be a yearly salary. If you're on the UFC's roster you should receive enough money to live and support your family on since they crippled sponsorship money. The only problem I see with that is that they have so many guys under contract that really shouldn't be and they're not going to want to give guys fighting on Fight Pass prelims a yearly salary. Uh, anyway, rant over.
