For people who feel bad pirating UFC PPVs (if that’s your thing), do not feel bad. Do not think like this person. Not 1 or 2 fighters per PPV actually get part of your $85. And by “part” I mean anywhere from $1-4 per buy depending on how many sell.

This person is wrong in every conceivable way imaginable and you should not think like them. The UFC gets paid $500 million a year by ESPN before selling a single PPV. They get paid $10s of millions of dollars by city, state, and country governments to host events in their cities (Salt Lake City, Saudi Arabia, UAE, etc). Their live gates frequently go over $1.5 million, more than enough often times to cover the entire payroll of their 12 fight cards. They pay nothing to host fights in their warehouse at the apex. They makes 100s of millions in sponsor ads. They make millions off of fight pass (none of that goes to fighters btw). And believe it or not, their PPVs do sell. Maybe not 1 million every time out, but they’re selling well above cost.

Only 17% (on a good year) of revenue goes to the fighters. Go buy one of their t shirts or something instead.

The official broadcast announced around 12:30pm local time that Lewis was out of the bout due to a non-COVID-19, non-weight-cut medical issue. Kennedy Nzechukwu and Ion Cutelaba will now get the main event spotlight.

Remembering that THIS happened a month ago ❤️‍🔥😍

I love 𝗧𝗼𝗺 in every way, but this beard size (and less) for him is my favourite 😏

By the way, people who say 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝘁𝗰��𝘀𝗼𝗻 is a better choice for 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸... should see this photo of 𝗧𝗼𝗺. I like 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗻 as 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿, but 𝗧𝗼𝗺 as 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸 is and will be irreplaceable and the best to me, he also loves his characters (also said by 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲, who filmed with him 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆) ❤️💯

He could be 𝗪𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲, 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸/𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺... He could be whoever he wants 👏🏻

⠀⠀⠀⠀

Recordando que ESTO pasó hace ya un mes ❤️‍🔥😍

Me encanta 𝗧𝗼𝗺 de todas las maneras, pero este tamaño de barba (y menos) es mi preferido para él 😏

Por cierto, la gente que dice que 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝘀𝗼𝗻 es mejor opción para 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸... debería ver esta foto de 𝗧𝗼𝗺. Me gusta 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝗻 como 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿, pero 𝗧𝗼𝗺 como 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸 es y será insustituible y el mejor para mí, además ama a sus personajes (dicho también por 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗼 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲, quien rodó con él 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒎: 𝑬𝒍 𝑼𝒍𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒐 𝑩𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒆) ❤️💯

Puede ser 𝗟𝗼𝗯𝗲𝘇𝗻𝗼, 𝗘𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗸/𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗺... Puede ser quienquiera 👏🏻

Dan Ige Clashes with Joanderson Brito at the UFC APEX on July 20

Read the full story on cagesidepress.com

#Dan Ige #Joanderson Brito

[theanticool]

I think we don’t talk enough about how unimaginative the UFC is nowadays.

There were highs and lows in the 2010s but there was a lot of constant change. The buying of the WEC and Strikeforce early on brought in a huge influx of talent that contributed greatly to the product getting a fresh coat of paint. We got the bantamweight and featherweight divisions. We got a completely revamped middleweight and heavyweight division with fantasy matchups. We got women in the UFC. And from there, we got a steady influx of change. International expansion. The addition of the FLW division with a four man tournament. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of these “innovations” are just the UFC buying out promotions, but the effect was still the same.

While TUF was already old hat by the 2010s, we got new flavors with TUF Latin American, TUF Brazil, TUF China, TUF Smashes, etc. Those shows produced guys like Robert Whittaker, Yair Rodriguez, Chito Vera, and more. And then when they added the 115lb and 125lb divisions, they used the TUF to crown champions. They also used it to find a contender for DJ (less hyped on that one but it was a unique use of the format). Lookin For a Fight, while a vanity project for Dana White, was a great tool to highlight regional MMA. And instead it got turned into a full scale ego stroking session for Dana when they started the Contender Series.

What have been the great innovations of the 2020s? Apex cards? The Contender Series? Dubai cards? The promotion seems apathetic about producing stars at best as Dana is more concerned with using the UFC brand to crowbar power slap into the public consciousness. It kind of just feels like someone left the machine running in the factory. Where are the new promotional ideas? The creation of new dream matchups?

This was all brought to mind by this tweet.

Double Champ Guidelines: The best way to change into the following DC, Nunes, Cejudo or McGregor

Andres Waters, ESPNApr 26, 2024, 08:00 AM ET -

-

1 AssociatedTo earn a title shot, a fighter should work their means up the division's ranks, progressively taking over more difficult opponents whereas dealing with extra strain to win. And, in lots of circumstances, simply successful is not even sufficient -- loads of fighters have piled up resolution wins solely to get handed over in favor of somebody with fewer wins however extra finishes or fights which are thought of extra entertaining.Each fighter's entry level within the UFC is completely different, although. Some fighters needed to work their means up from the figurative backside of the roster -- like welterweight champion Leon Edwards -- who made his first look within the Octagon in 2014 and compiled a powerful 11-2, 1 NC document earlier than successful the title in 2022.Different fighters, corresponding to gentle heavyweight champ Alex Pereira, seemed to be fast-tracked to a title shot. Pereira joined the UFC after an in depth kickboxing profession that featured a storied rivalry with then-middleweight champ Israel Adesanya. Due to the hype round a possible matchup in MMA between the 2, after simply three fights within the Octagon, Pereira received a title shot towards Adesanya, which he received.Finally, it would not matter the way you get the title. Simply do not let anybody hear you utter the phrases "double champ" with out it.

Step two: Clear your division or Change into a famous person

That is the place we hit a fork within the street, however finishing considered one of these choices is critical to earn a shot at a second gold strap. And although each of the paths are difficult, one is undoubtedly preferable. Listed below are the choices: regularly beat title challengers till you have gone via everybody or change into an simple famous person.Choice A: Beat all challengersplay2:07McGregor remembers story of dropping stuntmenConor McGregor remembers how he dropped stuntmen on the set of his new film "Roadhouse" with Jake Gyllenhaal."Turning into a champ is almost unattainable, however clearing your division is even tougher," Cormier stated.Clearing out the division is the most typical path. If claiming the throne is grueling, then sustaining your place there's no simpler. In some circumstances, beating fighters on the best way up is not sufficient. Typically, you continue to need to tackle foes you have already defeated en path to successful a title, and in uncommon conditions, you would have to do this a number of instances.

Males's flyweights Matheus Nicolau and Alex Perez go head-to-head on Saturday to find out who will transfer nearer to a title shot.UFC Combat Night time: Nicolau vs. Perez Saturday, April 27, UFC Apex, Las Vegas • Foremost card: 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+ • Prelims: 4 p.m. ET on ESPN+Subscribe to ESPN+ to get unique reside UFC occasions, weigh-ins and extra; Dana White's Contender Collection; and extra unique MMA content material. Simply have a look at Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo. Alexander Volkanovski and Max Holloway. Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko. We noticed Moreno-Figueiredo 4 instances. Volkanovski-Holloway squared off thrice. And Grasso vs. Shevchenko 3 is anticipated to be booked following the conclusion of the upcoming season of "The Final Fighter."Just lately, there have been two champions who did clear their division and nonetheless did not get a shot at turning into a double champion, former welterweight champ Kamaru Usman and former males's bantamweight champ Aljamain Sterling.Usman had strung collectively the second-longest win streak in UFC historical past, which featured 5 title defenses earlier than dropping the title in 2022. Sterling had fought via the gauntlet within the promotion's 135-pound division to win the title and had three profitable title defenses earlier than dropping the belt final yr. After dropping their titles, each fighters determined to maneuver up in weight."What Usman has performed is so troublesome," Cormier stated. "I believe the times of us seeing these lengthy title runs is finished. In at this time's MMA, three title defenses is taken into account a profitable title reign."Choice B: Change into the following Conor McGregorThe final time Conor McGregor was on high of the MMA world was Nov. 12, 2016, when he defeated Eddie Alvarez to change into a two-division champion. Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC/Getty PhotosAlternatively, the best way to bypass all the things talked about in Choice A is to be a generational famous person. Change into such an enormous title and model throughout the sport that it is so financially helpful for the promotion that they cannot afford to not provide you with that likelihood.Nonetheless, out of the 600-plus fighters the UFC has contracted, Conor McGregor is the one fighter to do that. Loads of different stars have come via the Octagon, together with Jon Jones, who's broadly thought to be one of the best MMA fighter of all time. However even the MMA GOAT cannot examine to the stardom that the person often called "Infamous" has reached."Conor McGregor is the exception, not the rule," Cormier stated.Whereas McGregor's stage of success out and in of the Octagon is one thing all fighters aspire to achieve, doing so can solely occur organically. This can be a guidelines for a path to double champion glory, however there isn't a direct path to turning into a world star.

Step three: Study the panorama

Apart from wins and losses contained in the Octagon, timing stands out as the largest think about figuring out if a champion will get a shot at a second title.Is there a combat card that wants an enormous headliner? Is there a champion who makes for a compelling matchup? Is that champion accessible for a possible matchup? Is the matchup one thing that additionally is smart from the UFC's perspective? These are just some questions that have to be answered to grasp the panorama earlier than organising such a uncommon alternative.

Good Man/Unhealthy Man

  Former UFC double champ Daniel Cormier and former gentle heavyweight contender Chael Sonnen talk about all issues MMA ... and extra. The present airs on ESPN2, ESPN+ and likewise on ESPN Audio and YouTube. Podcast | YouTube | Extra MMA When Cormier beat Stipe Miocic at UFC 226 to additionally declare the heavyweight title in 2018, Cormier stated he was the beneficiary of filling a necessity for the UFC and the heavyweight division on the good time."Star energy is overstated in MMA," Cormier stated. "In my case, I did not have this huge star energy. I did effectively, however I wasn't promoting huge pay-per-views. Numerous was in regards to the worth of the matchup."For me, it was a possibility based mostly on Stipe not having many choices. I had fought Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson. I had simply crushed Volkan Oezdemir. And Stripe had performed the identical factor. He had simply crushed Francis Ngannou, who had primarily run via the division. So Miocic was missing a challenger and I used to be in the precise place on the proper time. It simply made sense."Cormier stated two of the opposite double champs additionally benefited from comparable conditions. Henry Cejudo, who held the lads's flyweight and bantamweight titles from 2019 to 2020, was keen to combat a harmful man in Marlon Moraes for the then-vacant bantamweight title. And Amanda Nunes, who held the ladies's bantamweight and featherweight titles from 2017 to 2021, went as much as featherweight to tackle Cris Cyborg for the then-vacant belt.Within the present period of MMA, the standard of the matchup when pairing two champions is extra essential to the UFC matchmakers than the person stardom of the fighters. With the UFC missing a number of fighters who might be thought of world stars, exterior of McGregor, Cormier stated the following champion to problem for a second belt will profit from the matchup being so marketable that the UFC cannot move it up.Assessing the panorama is a singular course of for every fighter, together with what changes can be crucial for them to make a transfer to compete in a brand new division. Nonetheless, step one is common: determine a possible opponent.To choose that opponent, a fighter will need to have an understanding of their physique and their capabilities. Many fighters cannot add sufficient weight to maneuver as much as one other division. And most fighters aren't capable of reduce any extra weight to make the restrict at a decrease division. Then, if that fighter could make weight, can they nonetheless compete at a championship stage with how their physique adjusts to being in a brand new division?

Step 4: Name your shot

Anderson Silva, left, and Chael Sonnen face off forward of their legendary matchup at UFC 117. Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC/Getty PhotosLike in step three, timing is equally essential, however on this step, timing is all as much as the person fighter. Even when it is not for a title -- or a second title -- when trying to get booked for an enormous combat, it is all about technique.We have seen loads of callouts that labored: Chael Sonnen's postfight callout of Anderson Silva, Michael Chandler's name for a combat with McGregor at UFC 274, and even Merab Dvalishvili's fixed pestering of Sean O'Malley by way of social media to construct public curiosity.There have additionally been much more callouts that did not work. Take into account Aljamain Sterling calling for a rematch with O'Malley using his phone whereas within the crowd at UFC 293 -- it was not obtained effectively by MMA followers."When and the way you name to your shot issues," Cormier stated. "As soon as you have performed all the things else, you simply need to plant the seed. You may say it to the general public, or you'll be able to simply say it to Dana White or Hunter Campbell. You need to promote your self and the matchup, it could't be delicate. If the callout works, prepare to arrange for the toughest combat of your life."

How do double champs have an effect on the game and people round it?

After reclaiming bantamweight gold at UFC 277, Amanda Nunes retired from the game as a two-division champion. Carmen Mandato/Getty PhotosThis concept of a guidelines is barely good if it is smart to those that must abide by it when trying to problem for a second title. Nonetheless, some fighters and even a reigning champion would not thoughts it."I believe is situational," O'Malley stated to ESPN. "I do not thoughts that because the rule, like 'Hey, you'll be able to't go up but. You have to defend the belt.' Alright, let's do it."

Get unique entry to hundreds of premium articles a yr from high writers. • Finest, worst, most shocking of NFL draft » • Graziano: Falcons blew it? Profitable Bears? » • Soccer mock draft: Stars born in 2022 » Extra ESPN+ content material » Whereas O'Malley stated he would not thoughts a pre-established guidelines as a barrier to entry for a second title shot, it's price mentioning that he probably feels these alternatives are situational as a result of he's simply vying for a shot at UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria's title after efficiently defending his title over Marlon "Chito" Vera at UFC 299.Alternatively, it is smart that those that can be affected by the champion of their division difficult for, or -- even worse for them -- truly successful a second title. Megan Anderson, who challenged Nunes for her featherweight title at UFC 259 in 2021, is aware of all too effectively about how a champ-champ impacts different ranked fighters of their division."It stalemates the divisions of each titleholders concerned, " Anderson stated. "Simply have a look at the state of the light-weight division. You have got , that has each of his title defenses towards a males's featherweight. No one within the division."And have a look at how that affected the division, Justin Gaethje was speculated to be first in line for a shot, however as a result of he wished and wanted to remain energetic, he took a harmful combat towards Max Holloway and misplaced. Now, Gaethje value himself a shot on the title."Whereas Anderson did get her shot on the featherweight title, throughout most of Nunes' time on the UFC roster, she was defending her bantamweight belt. However Nunes did make back-to-back defenses of her 145-pound title in 2020 towards Felicia Spencer after which towards Anderson.When Nunes made that second protection at 145 kilos, it ruffled some bantamweight contender feathers."Some bantamweight fighters felt that featherweights have been taking away their shot at competing for a title," Anderson stated. "And one fighter even reached out to me personally, complaining that I used to be 'delaying her likelihood' to problem for the bantamweight title."Vera and former light-weight champion Rafael Dos Anjos each really feel that whereas there are circumstances when it is smart for a champion to earn a shot at one other title, some champions might view it as simply a possibility to take an enormous combat with out the chance of dropping their belt."I believe that is a means so that you can combat, get one other combat and nonetheless preserve your belt," Dos Anjos informed ESPN. "It is sort of protected, proper? You get one other combat, you get an excellent payday and get an opportunity of getting a brand new belt, however if you happen to lose, you continue to have your belt."Vera agreed that taking a combat towards one other champ is safer than taking over a challenger throughout the division."I consider it is much less strain while you're not speculated to lose," he informed ESPN. "When the man coming from the highest 5 is hungry actually making an attempt to kill you. That man is a scary man."

Which fighters might problem for double champ standing subsequent?

"Suga" Sean O'Malley is a robust candidate to be a future double champ within the UFC. Cooper Neill/Getty PhotosIn accordance with Cormier and Anderson, there aren't many present champions who've already performed sufficient throughout their title run to be clear candidates for an opportunity at one other title, however a number of names have piqued their curiosity: Edwards, O'Malley, Pereira and strawweight champion Zhang Weili. We might see them within the Octagon reverse one other champion in the event that they play their playing cards proper.Edwards: Of all the present champs, Edwards has the longest energetic title run. And, as talked about earlier, he needed to undergo almost everybody on the high of the division to get a title shot. Then, to get the belt, he needed to beat Usman, broadly thought of the most effective welterweight fighters of all time. Plus, he is a star within the U.Ok. Cormier and Anderson really feel that Edwards may need a pair extra defenses, however he is shut."Edwards might be due for a possibility quickly, however there are such a lot of nice matchups that may be made for him at welterweight," Anderson stated. "Shavkat Rakhmonov has been on a tear. Belal Muhammad remains to be ready for his title combat. Plus there are up-and-coming contenders like Jack Della Maddalena and Ian Garry, who might put themselves within the title image quickly."O'Malley: He is without doubt one of the champs who has already referred to as his shot at one other champion. After his dominant unanimous resolution win over "Chito" Vera at UFC 299, he referred to as out featherweight champion Ilia Topuria. However O'Malley has no downside issuing out challenges for opponents who might make large fights, even when which means getting into the boxing ring. O'Malley referred to as out WBA light-weight champion Gervonta Davis final yr."Suga" Sean can also be a star amongst youthful MMA followers. He has over 4 million followers on Instagram. With just one title protection, his callout of Topuria was just a little overzealous, however the concept wasn't outlandish.Zhang: Forward of UFC 300, Zhang Weili probably was first in line to get a shot at double champ standing. Then, at UFC 300, Zhang efficiently defended the strawweight title towards Yan Xianon within the co-main occasion, successful by unanimous resolution -- however it was a poor displaying for Zhang. After that efficiency, plainly successful that combat will not be sufficient to justify reserving her to face one other champ."One different factor to think about is the Grasso-Shevchenko logjam that is already going down on the high of the flyweight division, that's the solely logical division for her to problem," Anderson stated.Pereira: Along with his jaw-dropping knockout of Jamahal Hill in his gentle heavyweight title protection in the primary occasion, Pereira immediately elevated himself from star to famous person standing. In accordance with Cormier, Pereira might do one thing that might cement his legacy in MMA."Pereira has the potential to be a three-division champion if he strikes as much as heavyweight. That is by no means been performed within the UFC," Cormier stated. "His energy interprets so effectively. He has pure energy in his punches and leg kicks that does not go away as a result of he strikes in weight."Pereira additionally expressed curiosity in probably transferring as much as heavyweight. The one downside is that there is additionally a holdup atop the heavyweight division. Jones is anticipated to face Miocic when he returns from harm. And Tom Aspinall has the interim heavyweight title.One ultimate rule -- and that is nonnegotiable -- interim titles do not qualify for double champ standing. Read the full article
