nah, they had plain vests for 189, and Stitch said they weren't going to be wearing any logos now.

Anyway, this looks more like a pretty spectacular resignation (by forcing the UFC to fire him) than a real firing. He's got plenty of work for boxing and other promotions, so he felt free to just go off on the UFC.

I actually thought that exact same thing to myself when gathering all the info on the topic earlier today.

I'd like to know what his pay was without sponsorship money. He called it garbage today, but I'm sure that's him sweetening his side of the argument a bit.

I am pretty sure they get paid around 2% or 3% of the fighter's salary for the fight they work

UFC seems to have found its burst again, it seems to almost be like SNL where there are highs and lows with the cast, but right now looks exciting, all kinds of high stakes drama going down...

The Bisping decision over Leites was dodgy, I mean Leites didn't win handily but that fight was sooo close and iirc Bisping ALWAYS gets the judges calls in the UK.

Bisping calls out Hendo and Belfort as "cheating scumbags".

Weidmann calls out Bisping as a "joke", says he could beat the guy in two minutes while sleepwalking because "the guy has no punching power, I could literally fall asleep while he's punching me and then just throw him on the floor when I wake up" LMAO

McGregor and Faber legit going at it behind the scenes constantly these days.

Fedor wants in, which might draw Couture out of retirement.

Yeah, the UFC is starting to feel exciting again.

Coture said he is most likely out on a fedor fight.

Randy Couture is fifty-freaking-two. If he fights anyone it'll be a cash-grabbing freakshow. Bellator can do that sorta thing, but I hope the UFC does not.

For sure.

And I was the biggest fedor fan ever but he's long in the tooth for sure. Lots of wars.

Yeah...I would guess Fedor is done. I'm not exactly sure what he's been doing since Strikeforce, but he can't be in any shape to come fight top heavyweights in the UFC.

What is sad is a Coulture/Kimbo fight would be a huge draw

The main card for UFC 190 will be 7 fights. Have they ever put that many on the PPV before?

They have to do that so when 1 or 2 get cancelled due to injury it still looks like a decent PPV card.

Cannot wait for that show...good card and I think that fight is going to be excellent.

Media is reporting today that UFC 189 had 1 million buys. This is the first time a PPV card had at least 1 million buys since UFC 168 (Weidman vs Silva 2) in Dec. 2013

Everyone made weight. Barao had to take off his shorts, but he made it on his 2nd try

They did six a few years ago for a Japan card, I believe.
