I don't get it...

Are they mad because the UFC uses its power to remain the big promotion or are they mad because they want more money.
yeah I was a bit confused i understand the monopoly thing but I have no clue on the laws with that and I am guessing there is contracts I know the whole thing with fitch over the video game guess just have to wait and see

What did you guys think of the shot after the Bell in the women's fight ? was a great fight though that was prob a much high standard that we just saw for ten weeks
Im actually surprised not a lot was made of it. Clearly after the bell, The ref was between them was she threw it.

Yeah not sure why they brushed it off so easily...Pretty sour note on an otherwise great fight.

That was an odd one. She motioned to someone after the fight that she didn't hear the bell, but the referee had already separated them. Will be interesting to see if someting more comes from it.

The deal is: the majority of fighters who are on modest contracts, make just as much if not twice as much of their coin from sponsorships ie. fight brands. Bringing in a uniform is taking this revenue stream away from those particular fighters. This is highlighted by Brendan Schaub admitting recently he's already lost 6 of his sponsorships.

Just watching the early prelims now, a few notes:
Henry Cejudo looks legit. Olympic gold medalist in wrestling who uses it purely in reverse. Looks great.
Michaud must have some bad scar tissue.. haven't seen blood spray that far for that long for a while.
Nice heel hook from Entwistle. Birchak'll feel that tomorrow, hopefully no blown knee.

I tried to watch it this morning on my crappy laptop and the video kept freezing and jumping ahead at the cruicial part. Was it that bad? I'm pretty sure I read something about Sefo saying he had no issue with it.
