@TheMMAHaven I loved Chimaev during his come up now I can’t stand the guy. Constantly starting issues in the back and missing weight by 7 lbs causing an entire event to be reshuffled is unforgivable.
Also, the deal apparently values the UFC at *$12 billion*.
UFC in 2016: $4 billion
UFC in 2023: $12 billion
UFC has tripled* in value since their acquisition just 7 years ago. Gonna bet fighter payouts have not.
Seeing atomic Alonzo as a +160 was a bit shocking. I get Jimmy Crute is a veteran of the game but it’s hard to bet against Menifield after what we saw him do in his last fight
