The 13th Round

Can’t wait to work it.

UFC 302 is starting to shape up with them finally announcing the main and co-main event.

Main Event
Islam Makhachev defends his lightweight title against Dustin Poirier.

Co-main
Sean Strickland against Paulo Costa.

I was talking to some of the UFC people when they were in AC in March at Boardwalk Hall. As much as Conor was putting it out there about wanting to fight and the UFC wouldn’t book him that wasn’t the entire story. Yes he wanted to fight but he knew he couldn’t really train with all his outside distr...

The $300,000 performance bonuses last night:

Fight of the Night: Max Holloway vs. Justin Gaethje
Performance of the Night: Max Holloway
Performance of the Night: Jiri Prochazka

They are making such a big deal about this show. I don't recognize any of the names other than Holly Holm lol. Not the biggest MMA fan. Most of the fights on this card would be headliner fights if they were broken up to fight nights and ppv. 11 current or former UFC champions in action at UFC 300. ...

The performance bonuses for the card have been raised from $50,000 to $300,000.

When WCB and BAD was televised, HBO paid for all the production and everything else. My guess is MAX is paying them only to use their content. The costs associated with the production, salaries, and everything else will fall on Bellator or the parent company PFL. PFL and Bellator have done this in ...

So now it's just called max? They dropped HBO from the title? And if they are showing this, why can't they bring back WCB and BAD? When WCB and BAD was televised, HBO paid for all the production and everything else. My guess is MAX is paying them only to use their content. The costs associated with...

Absolutely. Will have to see if anything else comes out from the settlement, because if it’s just the money this was horrible for the fighters.

Assuming a 33% cut by the lawyers, that's $186,000 per fighter pre tax if it's averaged out equally. (Much less then the billions they were suing for) The Company anticipates that the settlement amount will be deductible for tax purposes.” (They really didn’t lose much overall. They have a payment p...
