End of an era. 2 stayovers from days of yore.

Don't think anyone else is left? I'll double check later.

That should be the end of that era.

Izzy by 3rd round tko.

and lol I know it was so long ago, and he is a totally different fighter now, but he was stopped by Sokoudjou. He also dropped a decision to Jim Manuwa.

Again, not holding those losses against him like some kind of indictment, but he has looked normal on more than a couple occasions. Anderson beat him too, so did Gus and Patrick Cummins.

I think Adesanya will move in and out and pick him apart.

Jan is still cutting multiple kilos. Rough cut. Going to affect him I think he looks drained.

The measures seem to be affecting his training. Hes a fucking big guy for 205.

From a financial perspective, Why cut fighters? (I don't need some sort of philosophical argument about aging fighters and crowd draw or something, i'm asking what fighters cost the UFC to keep)

They don't draw a salary, do they? Isn't it just the show/win for fights? Do they have health insurance and benefits like physical therapy and stuff from the UFC? I get the superficial reasons about why to cut fighters, just trying to understand the behind the scenes financial portion and the cost of keeping fighters under contract.

Why use tube tv when you can have a new flat screen? Neither of these guys win fights anymore and just water down the product. They get a base salary depending on how much their contract is, and bonus's and if its a headliner they get part of the PPV.

when dealing with Jon Jones before he vacated, Dana said something like "our contracts say we have to offer 2 fights per year...", so at some point they would have offer/pay.
pretty sure UFC doesn't cover any healthcare, read at least 1 fighter say they don't even cover pre-fight medical screening. think they cover testing, recall dana saying that at some point they were able to lower the costs from $15k per yr/fighter to under $8k

I'd guess both JDS and Overeem turned down the short notice fight and someone got angry.

Overeem was about to hang it up anyway. The JDS cut is the only somewhat vindictive one.
