As expected.
We really do need a dedicated MMA thread. Who's making one?
It is why Aldo wants another shot. Conor makes it red panty night for everyone.
Well that, but I think no small part of it is a desire to avenge his humiliating 13 second KO loss.
I think Aldo is the more complete fighter, but he doesn't have McGregor's power or boxing, so I would definitely be interested in seeing an actual fight this time around.
Aldo's earned it. Dude is easily in the Top 3 P4P fighters in the sport and went undefeated for 10 years. Dude should have had an immediate rematch, but I think it's better it's been left to marinate for a while.
Nathaniel was making like 30/40k to show per fight before Conrad. Criminal that he they were lowballing him so much. He's always been a character for me, even before I was invested in the UFC.
From what I recall, Nate's agent had his contract front loaded. At the time Nate was on a 3 fight win streak and set to fight Benson Henderson for the title. If he won that fight he'd get a new contract but since he was up for renewal anyway, his agent pushed for a front loaded contract whereby he'd be making less after an initial payment of, I believe, 500K.
I've got to look this up and source it properly, but I believe that was the situation.
