Random Joe Rogan quote of the day:

"Houston Alexander is for real!"

Jon Jones will fight DC on April 23rd. Current plan is Madison Square Garden. Backup plan is Anaheim if they can't get the court or the legislature to OK MMA in NY.

I can't wait for him to destroy DC again.

Conor spend about $450K on two cars this week. At the rate he's burning through money, he'd better beat Aldo.

Has he made that much in the UFC?

I'm sure he's qualified for PPV bonuses. The UFC is obviously opaque on what they pay their fighters in "locker room bonuses" and what the PPV points deal may be for headliners, but Conor has made at least a few million dollars.

But just a few, I don't think he's made 8 figures. (Ronda probably has)

Free card tomorrow is nice, last 3 fights are all interesting. Its.... kinda shallow below that though, so unless you are a huge UFC fan, just turn it to FS1 at 10:30pm for the last 3 fights.

I'm a fan of Neil Magny and his philosophy of always being in shape and ready to take short notice fights, but this short notice fight he agreed to is against a beast.

Google search for his net worth says $2 million..I'm guessing that might include sponsor money

Melvin Manhoef pretty much killed a guy with one punch earlier tonight.

Cool video up of Winkeljohn giving Ariel Helwani a tour of the new Jackson Wink gym in ABQ. (He has been Holly Holm's coach for years, Jon Jones and Cowboy also train here)

Those coaches and facilities are so much better than the crap Ronda has been relying on its ridiculous.

As expected, every fight before the final 3 kinda sucked. Interesting fights beginning soon.

alnorth 11-22-2015 12:36 AM

48-47 Gastelum.

Close fight, the scores could be anywhere, especially with these crazy judges.

alnorth 11-22-2015 12:40 AM

Well, it wasn't a robbery. I don't agree, but the 3rd round was close enough that I won't complain. It was clear all along the judges tonight were weird.

Magny is an awesome fighter, beat Gastelum on 2 weeks notice.
