THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED EVER SINCE DANA WHITE GAVE CONOR BENN $15M FOR ONE FIGHT 🚨
- Jon Jones’ negotiations to fight Alex Pereira at the White House reportedly hit a roadblock over money, with Benn’s $15M payday being used as a benchmark
- Sean Strickland is currently in a pay dispute with the UFC and has specifically cited Benn’s $15M payday while complaining about fighter pay
- The $15M figure has become a major talking point among UFC fighters questioning their own compensation
- Now Shakur Stevenson has left Zuffa Boxing after just THREE MONTHS without even fighting for them, with pay reportedly being an issue
This $15M deal has caused an unbelievable amount of chaos 😭
🚨| Farid Basharat tells @MightyMouse the UFC informed him they weren’t fans of his style following his fight with Chris Gutierrez last year.
He then beat Brazilian prospect Jean Matsumoto via split decision in a fight featuring 372 combined strikes thrown over 15 minutes.
Afterward, Basharat’s manager called the UFC to get their thoughts, only to be told they still found the fight boring. 🤔
Vegas has Dawson a slight favorite, but I think that Rebecki win is doing some heavy lifting on those odds. I've got Jason Nurullo coming up with the big win.
@ConsensusScore Don’t know enough about Temirov outside of the Erceg ko, but if he has any grappling ability it’d be dumb not to shoot on Kavanaugh at some point after the Royval loss. Kavanaugh is definitely a way better striker than Erceg.
@ConsensusScore If Aliev can’t finish him in the first round he’s probably getting wrestle fucked. Shem Rock went the distance with Aliev not too long ago.
@DeepDarkRock A Sliding Doors moment for Merab that will have a huge effect on his legacy and the direction of the late stage of his career. So much on the line!
