lol just remembered Covington was assaulted with a boomerang by Werdum in Australia (just typing that sentence made me laugh). This coupled with the Masvidal steakhouse punches. First UFC fighter accosted twice for being so insufferable?

Remember when Frank Mir snapped Tim Sylvia's arm? The hardware is protruding out. Follow up surgery needed. UFC apparently says 'that's your problem Tim'. Reason 12,244 why fighters should organize.

Since 1. AZ ignored their own statute for the weigh in 2. UFC can do whatever they want with their in house promotional title UFC should give Charles O the belt as soon as they leave AZ Either that or Charles should lawyer up and get AC to explain themselves to a judge

Cody McKenzie's legacy for MMA is 1. Drawing his own blood to make weight in Oklahoma 2. Fighting in the UFC with shorts with a tag still attached 3. Submitting an overheated fake urine sample to the NAC His contribution to the sport is surpassed by few.

OK I can now call it 'breaking news'. Colorado confirms they have approved the ONE Championship ruleset. So ONE can come to Colorado and use their rules including knees to grounded opponents. Interesting.

A high profile boxer can pocket well over 50% of the revenue. UFC fighters take 13%. Combined! The whole roster shares 13%. But yeah. Fighters are greedy.
