Good for him, hopefully can get his career and life back on track. Hopefully the UFC offers him a goodbye fight

I'd be happy for him to get that last fight (the farewell fight), and him vs Cerrone, after Cerrone's last showing, is probably even more worth doing now.
Edit: I doubt very much that he gets that one last fight. Think his and the ufc's friendship is a little fried at this point.

Just plain mean.

Haha that's actually funny

 

[Topkent]

Justin Tafa is looking good for his fight, in ripping shape

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

I think someone is moving to Cokerville.

Alot of big cuts, but is anyone excited to watch these fighters anymore?
Jacare, Sanchez, Overeem, Silva etc. These guys are not fun to watch anymore.

I think for the most part the UFC get it pretty much right.

Got a lucky decision against Yoel, ****ed by Israel, pulled out against Rob. Beaten a journeyman, dude who was finished and who else? Costa is massively over-rated oaf.

That being said he's still right in what he's saying. Not much respect shown from ufc to fighter as per.

 

[Dale_Thomas]

I agree that UFC fighters are underpaid, but using the Tyron/Paul fight as the basis doesn't make sense. The only reason Tyron is getting paid well, is because he's fighting a celebrity with 15 million followers.

You either need to be famous yourself or be fighting someone famous in order to paid well. Of which Costa is neither.

When all factors are considered.....UFC fighters are NOT underpaid.

Just another silly myth when comparing mma to boxing.

Ok

Costa is claiming that they're paying him less than some unranked fighters.

That may be the case if these unranked fighters are bringing in more eyeballs & revenue for the company.

I'd like to know who Costa is referring to. I personally think the ufc are probably taking advantage of him. Costa has a fair following.

Think mid to lower tiers fighters should be paid more . The company makes good dosh . No wonder mma is v boxers now . Fighters want to get paid good money .

Can't compare them, in the UFC everyone on the card gets paid better than an average salary, main card fighters even opening the card can get a couple hundred K.

Boxing the main even gets everything and the undercard fighters get their parking stamped.

It's probably Jon Jones
