gracie was either exhausted or was just plain out of it after that fight was done.

I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. I was building a house, I don't deserve this, deserves have nothing to do with it. Bang. "Unforgiven" I drink your milkshake. I drink it up! "There Will BE Blood"

I think the UFC should instate a 10K/10K minimum for a base contract. The company is more than turning a healthy profit so there is no excuse for not taking better care of its lower tier fighters.

help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs...

Villin

interested in doing a fanpost on why they should do that base contract? That could be interesting.

We all have to start somewhere man…I’d just would like to hear your reasoning behind the 10K base pay…that’s all…or just do it here in the comments section.

was that guy who beat gracie called the 'mexecutioner"

someone here uses that right? i guess it pays to be the tuf winner, serra and danzig got paid. i think they thru danzig a bone. they just don’t want to cut any of the tuf winners.
