But who is there really at Welterweight ? He cleaned the division pretty much, at least of the kind of bigger names. So let them duke it out and build their names if he needs the surgery sooner or later anyway and then fight who is left. It will probably be Wonderboy though and nobody wants to see a 3rd one really. Would have loved to see Wonderboy vs Till. Dream matchup at least on paper, but appearently Wonderboy turned it down. The fighter have too much power these days it is sad. | ||

He said he needed to it sometime but not now, if GSP or Mcgreggor or another cash cow wanted to fight he would have done it. And no one wants to fight him for the exact opposite everyone wanted to fight bisbing. Woodley is boring, not a draw, and verry difficult to beat. true Robbie Lawler prefers making no money and getting no PPV points. he hates money. Darren Till likes making $10,000 a fight. | ||

When you do the math for $120 mil/year from Fox, and the have around 25 fight nights per year, so that's a bit under 5 million per event that UFC gets. Then the gates are like $600k, and for not-PPV, that's their main source of revenue. I guess you can add Fight pass subscriber numbers, which would be around 3mil per month, or say 3 events per month, so 1 million, but I don't think that's very fair to add, but anyway. Not sure how much those bud light commercials and whatnot are worth, as well as the merchandise, but I think it's quite minor regardless. So roughly 6.5mil revenue per event in the better case scenario, and UFC pays it's fighters in the ballpark of 20-25% of revenue. So that's around 1.5mil for fighter salaries per event. With bonuses most fight night events pay out 1-1.2 million I think, and the way the fighters talk about the importance of bonuses, I don't think there is much unreported stuff that they're getting. | ||

He's absolutely terrifying, the punches he was throwing in the first round were insane. So many were missing, but wow, so much power and speed... The technique just isn't perfect yet, but he'll get there I think. Out of all UFC fighters, I think I'd be the most scared to meet an angry Perry in a dark alley. I wonder where this puts Emmett, he misses weight but wins, hmm. I'd like to see him fight someone like Dooho Choi or Stephens. | ||

He also cant get bonus for missing so good bye 50k. Ngannou my pick for dude i dont want to meet in any alley ever. Or mark hunt, i feel like you could hit him with a shovel and hed shake it off. I think I could out run either, so they don't concern me in the same way. Perry seems like the guy that would knock me out before I even registered what is happening. And also his personality is nuts, I love the guy. And yeah, we'll see, he seems nice enough, I honestly didn't know too much about him prior to today. | ||
