But but…. the millions he would be making in PFL compared to the UFC. It doesn’t matter if anyone watches, hell look at Ngannou, he made millions fighting in PFL and us financial situation gurus of other peoples incomes all supported him! <28>Be it illegally.

If a fighter wants people to see him fight, they need to fight in the UFC. It's an unfortunate reality of modern MMA.
 
ufc really just let PFL buy Bellator and fumble it so bad that they come in and just snatch all the guys they want from over there.

Pitbull, MVP, Pico, Amosov next, soon Mix and Eblen and Nemkov etc.

As for Pico figure something between 9-15. Maybe they say lets see if he can take out Sterling who they never liked, mayze its ZAlal, maybe its sacrifice Kattar to PIco who is on verge of being out of top 15. He should get someone like that.
 
Could see pico becoming champ at 145

Very underrated. Hasn't been tested against the elites, but probably has the highest ceiling in the division.
 
"Why on God’s green f***ing Earth would anybody buy Bellator?... Why anyone would buy Bellator is beside me. But hey, what do I know? I’ll sit back and see how this plays out... Bellator is $500 million? Awesome, sounds like a steal. Sounds like a f***ing steal... Buy that thing quickly before – who else does? Come on, guys. This is f***ing silly." - Dana White

I really don't see anything positive that came out of PFL buying Bellator. Other than maybe securing more investor funds.
 
Pico is 28 now?

Finally we are starting to snatch up all the best Bellator dudes!!!!

All we need now is AJ McKee

Are you stupid? McKee lost to Paul Hughes and Usman Nurmagomedov is way better. Even Pico, it's nice we got him but I'd rather have gotten Khizriev. All the best ones? Pfft. At least Pico isn't 36 years old like when they signed Chandler and Page.

Because these promoters are pretty incompetent, for all the shit Dana White & The UFC gets, deserved & undeserved they’re the only major MMA org constantly putting out shows staying a float. People on here love to put Scott Coker on the pedestal like he was the god send that would destroy the UFC, when in reality he sent more people & fighters to be unemployed than Dana White. Seems like like the PFL will slowly join the graveyard.

Pico v.s. Korean Superboy, anyone?

Bro it's a division with zero American fighters in title contention, they didn't bring Pico over to fight unranked guys lol. They want to get him to the top as fast as possible.

TBF if Donn 'I don't watch MMA' Davis had ANY brains, they would have been able to combine the rosters and come out with an extremely strong #2 to the UFC


I mean shite, they were GIFTED Big Frank (although probably also overpayed some) but have done fuck all with him
 
No idea what to expect from Pico.

He was fighting some weak competition over in Bellator.

Coker's signing of veteran fighters who should remain retired has always bothered me. At least Dana tried to protect some of his aging stars, like Liddell.

With that said, Dana and the UFC needs to do something for their retired fighters--I do not think an NFL pension plan would be feasible since some stars only fight 1-2 time in the ufc. Maybe, and this may sound silly, but something like a matching fund 401k, so they have something.

But why? PFL has better payouts and don’t forget about the sponsors. Hope he’s happy with his 12k/12k contract, at least in the PFL he won’t have to worry about being labeled as out of his prime or was never that good if he losses.

Watch his interview with Luke Thomas a few weeks ago. He got frustrated waiting around for PFL to book him a fight. Same reason Pitbull and others left PFL.

Higher payouts don't mean much if they won't give you fights.
 
He's 28, still relatively young. Has potential to be in the top 5. We will just have to wait and see.
