It's been pure content to watch him flailing the past week if you're staying up on the back-and-forth.

Hey Jon, the UFC ain't buying it pal. Your performances are mediocre. They can get better fights out of guys like Reyes and Santos for less money.

The ESPN business model no longer supports the diva fighter.

Dana White has how many fighters under his belt? How much money per fight is Dana bringing in? When do the fighters just stop showing up to fight because of Dana? He’s been building a fire to burn the UFC to the ground since ZUFFA bought the UFC. Get rid of Dana, and there’s a real possibility of better fights to be had.

You got a point. Jon Jones mediocre ass aside-- we lost GSP's comeback and Lesnar's comeback to the current model. One or two Conor fights in there as well, including Diaz 3.

Shutting down GSP's comeback probably being the worst offense out of the group.

He still has to be one of their top 5 draws. After conor and khabib, ufc seem to be seriously lacking star power now.
anyway, Jjones out taking spray paint from "protestors"

its not a super fight if one guy is 1-4-1 in last 5 years. seems like silva is challenging someone different every other day. Demian Maia said he would like to fight Silva at catchweight, as his last fight (but only if there are fans). which i think would be more fitting.

Fitting maybe, way less of a pay day for Silva though hence Connor.

Meh, probably gonna pass on this one. Only fight I am remotely interested in is Sterling vs. Sandhagen and maybe O'Malley, but not really against Wineland.

guess with espn's steady pay for shit cards, dana doesn't care anymore
what i gather UFC told both Jorge and Usman that the other asked for too much money
Usman to fight Burns now i guess, no idea who they are now offering Jorge

reports are that "Fight Island" is just Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. (edit Combate didn't report where in Adu Dhabi)

iirc, at 242 in sept it was like 100 inside. remember cracking up when one of the announcers said, 'you can bake biscuits in here"
