Are you seriously confused as to what that means?

I'm not the one who is confused.

Training and having good game plans are too different things there bud.

This statement has nothing to do with our conversation. You said she had no plan, not a "good plan". I was jokingly saying "I bet she didn't even train [either]". Never did I imply that training and having a good game plan are the same thing.

It'll likely be settled. I do believe he has a fair point.

My best friend just got out of NYU law and he says if you go to court, you probably already lost (both sides).

Dana/UFC should only go to court if he thinks he can save face and his reputation is worth more than the settlement (which isn't likely).

Every minute Hunt's lawyers spend on the case is less $ for Hunt from his settlement.

They both have a huge incentive to settle.

Damn, Dana's throwing down

“The last fight, the last major fight you [Mayweather] were in, you left such a bad taste in everybody’s mouth that nobody wants to see you again. His last fight did 350,000 pay-per-view buys. Conor did 1.3 (million for UFC 205) and 1.5 (million for UFC 202) pay-per-view buys. So I don’t understand how you think you’re the ‘A’ side and there’s a reason why you want this Conor McGregor fight so bad — because you know that’s your money fight.”

Dana should have kept his mouth shut for his own sake. Go look at how much floyd took home from that fight then look at what ufc fighters take home with cards from his own mouth that have 3 times the buys. Before too long some ufc fighter is going to figure out a way to get more than the at the absolute best 5-10 mil a fight dana gives them but until then he's raking in the money while giving out little

Dana's gonna have to start paying more but one thing to consider is in boxing 90% of PPV buys are for the main event and in MMA the opposite is true...most people are there to watch 3 to 5 fights. Realistically he's probably paying Conor about market value.... he just needs to start paying everybody else like that

I'd say 90% is low since most of boxing undercards are pretty bad I'd put the number at 96-97%. My thing is go look at ufc fighters career earnings especially those who've headlined multiple ufc cards and it's pennies to the dollar of what they brought in

Oh and there's a ufc fight night tonight with bj penn in the main event

Doubt i'll watch tonight. I like Penn but you shouldn't be fighting and the other fights don't interest me

Yeah I'm not really stoked about the card especially with the playoffs on at the same time but more than likely I'll have it on my phone or tablet just to see if anyone gets knocked out. Without reading anything about the card I'm willing to bet Penn said something like "I've never taken training serious until this fight" then he'll get gassed in a round and lose

If anyone was curious the majority of the card was pretty boring and Penn got knocked out in the beginning of the 2nd round after catching a beat down and generally looking really slow and old

Dana should be ashamed for putting BJ in a fight like that. He has no business in there with a young lion like that kid. Embarrassing and hard to watch

I don't know about them calling Rodriguez "the real deal" after this fight. Yeah he looked good but probably 98% of the ufc would have looked just as good against this BJ

Co-main had refs being stupid. Main had a guy way past hia prime competeting against a fast and talented young striker. Awful card. Invicta was better night.

I'm not ready to jump on the bandwagon either. He's still a good looking prospect to me. He has all the tools, but this win doesn't tell me anything we didn't already know. I want to to see him fight a few top ten guys. Give him someone like Lamas, Swanson or Stephens.

I've stopped watching UFC, but watched tonight cause BJ is my favorite fighter ever. That was just hard to watch, please retire.
