think $42k is the max, which is probably less than prelim fighters made from condomdepot lol
only remember seeing this, as there was less than a handful of sites covering it, while everyone covered the announcement

Never heard of it, yet it's on the MMA reddit with a few clicks
He's played Russian Roulette twice. Once after Fedor, then Rodgers. Original interview with quotes is pulled as it's been several years.

Former champs get treated differently by media.
Evan Tanner necking it was a big deal even though he hadn't been at the top in awhile. They don't want those headlines.
The fallout was major over Evan Tanner. It's not my fault you have a goldfish memory.

Yeah I don't think it's Andrei's head problems that are keeping him in. It's the fact he's taking a lot less than other former champs for fights ( shit, even guys who were never champs kept asking for massive payouts. Overeem for example: Dana White on cutting Overeem and dos Santos - ‘We loved those guys, it’s just part of the sport’ )
He's a decent fighter still, doesn't turn down fights, and is taking peanuts to keep fighting. That's why he's in. Them being worried he'll kill himself? Dana isn't the guy who makes the financial decisions anymore - if he wasn't making WMG money, they would have cut him. He still pulls enough of a crowd, and for dimes on the dollar.
Not saying he doesn't have suicidal thoughts, but WMG isn't keeping him in the promotion to avoid him committing suicide. Hell, if they were worried about it being a real brand issue, he would have been released years ago to avoid that very problem.

Overeem and JDS were in a position to ask for money as they generally lost to top contenders for the most part.
Arlovski lost to unranked bums on undercards (some even untelevised before UFC Fight Pass, if I remember correctly)
He got a sympathy re-signing several years ago pre-WMG because they know he doesn't see any life after fighting. It'll have to be a Chuck Liddell forced retirement decision to stop. He gets a wide berth on re-signings because he's a former beloved champ, and because his mental health issues are in the public eye.

There has to be an agenda behind testing Prochazka that much. Escalating to testing every other day in October is unprecedented.
Not a UFC agenda. Some weirdo at USADA is riding the hatewagon.

never looked, how much blood do they take? know they have those little needles when they just take a small amount, but if they are filling vials with a bigger needle, you are not supposed to put a lot of stress on it for several hours.

Liverking dude is on a bunch of sauce; dude still puts in a shitload of work and the ab stuff is hilarious. It'd be nice if he just admitted to being on the sauce (dudes like Jujimufu admit it) and said "Hey man, I'm on some enhancements but uh, I still put in 500% more work than most people" it would cool down anything about him. It would also probably cut into his revenue, so he's gotta keep that denial train going. No hate for the guy; I wouldn't look like that doing whatever workouts he's on but I'd still be a top 1% shredded motherfucker if I did. I just wouldn't be that .1% stuff with the sauce.
