  Well, I said it, and I managed to follow through. I didn’t watch Fedor’s fight because I refuse to watch M-1 co-promoted cards. I’m not his biggest fan, and also not his biggest detractor, but I can’t stand the Russian mob that backs him.
  That said, Rogers taking him to the second round does [...]

  Right. He just gets on her. After drinking an ice cold Coors Light.

• dbiz commented on the blog post M-1, Fedor Emelianenko Sue Affliction Over Canceled Event   4 days, 7 hours ago
  

  Except, eldiablo, SAMBO was never the issue in this negotiation. Both sides said it revolved around the fact that the UFC saw no reason to keep spending the same amount of money on each event and splitting the profits for events involving Fedor with M-1. M-1 calls this co-promotion. The rest of [...]

  And if he drags the UFC (or more likely Zuffa with its deeper pockets) into the suit, it is further proof the man never wanted to fight for them and negotiated in bad faith.
  Be interesting to see what part of his contract forbids a company from going out of business, wouldn’t you say? Also [...]

  And while we’re at it, we need a remove button for brainless posts.
  How is Machida’s surgery more BS than Silva’s? How is it more BS than BJ ducking a title fight for over a year – including time to spend with children after the GSP fight (which came 8 months after his last fight)? [...]

  Perhaps you should ask Yoshida how his stand up is…

  I got a hit of the live virus up the nose yesterday. Stung a bit, but I’m not dead yet!

  He wasn’t robbed, he was paid according to the contract that he signed. When are you people going to learn that is how the world works? When you agree to a salary, you should have no expectations of being paid more.

• dbiz commented on the blog post Josh Koscheck To Co-Headline UFC 106   1 week, 3 days ago
  

  That is precisely why I believe he will never be in danger of getting cut. He is too willing to come in on short notice and bail the UFC out of a jam. This is at least the second time I can think of him doing it (Alves on short notice being the [...]

  Ok, then don’t. Or are you going to turn into the mmafrenzy.com equivalent of the guy that mentions every 22 seconds that he drives a Prius?

  Then, as we have both mentioned on other pay posts, he should have gotten a job. That is what caused his release – a feeling that he has a right to make his living solely in MMA.

• dbiz commented on the blog post UFC 104 Fighter Salaries: Headliners Machida and Rua Top Payroll   1 week, 4 days ago
  

  I agree with Justin here. No one has a RIGHT to make a living in anything. If they can make enough to not hold another job, good for them. If not, it’s time for a second job or a different career path.

• dbiz commented on the blog post UFC 104 Fighter Salaries: Headliners Machida and Rua Top Payroll   1 week, 4 days ago
  

  Stop trolling. There are sponsorships that make up more than half of fighter’s pay usually at that level. You’ve been around long enough that we shouldn’t need to go over this for you.

• dbiz commented on the blog post UFC 104 Fighter Salaries: Headliners Machida and Rua Top Payroll   1 week, 4 days ago
  

  If you go to that pay scale, headliners will lose money by losing their share of the PPV buys.

  Read that second amendment. I’ll wait. Now read it again. It only protects you from censorship by the government. This site is Kris’s backyard. He has decided that Justin and FR can moderate his backyard. When they say someone has crossed the line, that’s it. No one’s rights [...]

  Here’s how it happened, and I am not placing any judgment on the method of scoring used by those particular judges:
  Over 2/3 of Rua’s strikes landed were leg kicks. Well over half of Machida’s were head and body strikes. Someone (maybe jcohl) said it up here: head strikes > leg strikes and body [...]

  Or it would require Dana to say one thing: “Sign it or you’re both fired. We need fighters, not boyfriends, and fighters want title shots.”

  Not at all, I’m just not going to waste my breaks at work on you, or anyone else who thinks Al-Turk has been “set up” by the UFC. The guy’s not good, no matter who you put him against.
