lol..

Lifting a grown man isn't weird?

 

[Dead Prince]

Well I can't tell what's more impressive. Him taking the hits like a sponge or struve can't knock him out

 

[nib95]

I really don't think Struve has much of a future, unless of course the competition is all crap.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I really don't think Struve has much of a future, unless of course the competition is all crap.

He's a good guy to keep around for the freak show factor, and because he has a style that is conducive to slobber knockers. Your classic FIght for the Troops card tier gatekeeper.

 

[Infernostew]

The division is on life support.

 

[Guru-Guru]

Struve is going to have the same problems he has always had when he faces a legit opponent. His footwork is poor, he has trouble using the ridiculous range advantage he has over the whole division, and he often just stands in front of his opponents with his hands down.

 

[kinggroin]

How many more undercards ffs

Was totally agreeing..

 

[Grassy]

[Black_Stride]

Can't wait for it to get awarded fight of the night.

The night is still young..

 

[Tubie]

I'm a lifelong Boxing fan but never got into MMA. The Ronda hype got me to order this tho, first time I pay for UFC.

The fights have been very entertaining so far, I can't believe there's 3 more fights before the main one tho lol.

 

[Dysun]

time to go do something else for a bit

 

[alr1ght]

WSOF is on NBC Sports. Watch that for the next hour.

She used to be a "reporter/journalist" for a semi NSFW magazine in Brasil. Don't know if she still does that stuff, but it used to be fun.

 

[Obliterator]

Who's excited for the next 2 fights!!!!!.......anyone?

 

[DOG3NZAKA]

This or Chrono Trigger

 

[nib95]

Out of curiosity, outside of the Mayweather's, which pays better, boxing or UFC? Is the difference in payouts substantial?

 

[BennyBlanco]

this card is flat out terrible

 

[Obliterator]

It varies really. Big time. You have some fighters making huge pay days, some peanuts. Combat sports is kinda like that

Boxing pays a lot even if you're not a big name fighter.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

Brock Lesnar still fights, right? So there is still hope for HW

 

[juliushandle]

Please don't spoil the Shields Paul Harris fight guys.

 

[A_Gorilla]

Sigh, now I remember why I hate MMA so much:

95% of all fights turn into prolonged hugging/foreplay sessions...

 

[Lashley]

Was totally agreeing..

its the ....

its confusing man

 

[Yaari]

Savior of UFC HW

 

[Obliterator]

not always true. At all. Some under card fighters make nothing even in boxing.

Combat sports is all about how much you draw and what you can negotiate. Some make major cash some not crap

Well ronda makes 3 million a year....which isnt much

 

[Dead Prince]

Lopes turnt up

 

[Mr Croft]

Of course you didn't hear Joe Rogan was "ohh" multiple times throughout the fight.

The only thing missing is this guy

popular boxers make significantly more money but they're few and far between these days. a guy like GGG has all the talent in the world but won't get paid until he gets somebody like mayweather to fight him. average fighters like adrien broner make more money by a huge margin than average UFC fighters.

boxers like mayweather are an anomaly but a UFC fighter will never ever get a $150 million purse.

 

[nib95]

Boxing pays a lot even if you're not a big name fighter.

This was my prediction. There's got to be a reason UFC is lacking in younger talent and a larger pool of up and coming new fighters, and I'm guessing it's because at the earlier stages, the money and draw just isn't sweet enough.

Heard both Connor and Rousey say they'd consider boxing, which is a bit of a shame. Should be more than enough in the UFC to keep them keen and committed.

 

[Obliterator]

Well ronda makes 3 million a year....which isnt much

That seems kind of unbelievable. McGregor made 4 million for 1 fight at UFC 189

 

[Tubie]

You're right, but there's a lot of boxers who might not be mainstream like Mayweather and still make a lot of money per fight.

Cotto makes millions each fight and I bet he's not well known at all.

 

[Measley]

Well ronda makes 3 million a year....which isnt much

Considering that she's keeping the UFC afloat all by herself, she deserves to make substantially more money.

 

[Lashley]

This is better

Dude is a PR machine that could sell sand to a nomad in the middle of the Sahara, that fight broke a crapton of records according to Dana.

Cotto is pretty well known, man. He's been headlining for years and held titles in 4 weight classes.

 

[YaGaMi]

That Lopes doesn't have a neck.

 

[Obliterator]

Ok this fight is fun as fuck right now

 

[iddqd]

Please let me know when the Paul harris shows up over at WSOF

 

[Tubie]

Cotto is pretty well known, man. He's been headlining for years and held titles in 4 weight classes.

Talking outside of boxing circles. Of course he's well known to boxing fans, the man is a future hall of famer.

Also, this fight is way better than the ones before it.

 

[Panzon]

Did I miss something? How come these 2 aren't wearing standard reebok gear.

Its actually quite nice to see

 

[UFO]

These guys are fighting like they fucking hate each other.

First question: how can you give two guillotines in a row? Second question: how can you miss two guillotines in a row?
