RECAP OF ROMAIN MOLINA’S VIDEO ON FERNAND LOPEZ
- He allegedly struck several times and strangled his ex-wife.
- He pleaded guilty without appealing.
- He threw a dresser which almost landed on his own daughter.
- Taylor Lapilus' alleged injury was false.
- He is in open war with Ali Abdelaziz.
- The situation with RMC is also at a standstill, given that there have been scuffles with a member of the channel.
- Fighters like Abdoul Abdouraguimov or Baki would like to leave the stable.
- It might be complicated for him now to place fighters in the biggest organizations.

Good. Leave and get Baki to the UFC immediately.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Little too late for Lazy King unfortunately as I imagine he's tied to PFL for the next 2 years now but hopefully good for Baki. He seems to be training with Khamzat a lot now anyway.

 

[Bubzeh]

If this is a method of them angling for more cash due to recent events with PFL I will not be amused.

LK waited little too long but this probably ends up being like a Loughnane thing for him. he's gonna have a chance to win a mill at LW. OAM might take a break after this season and assuming Bellator lw dont all come over his main comp would be what, clay and burgos. He's got a shot to win it.

Given that Baki is tied by contracts with both ARES FC (Lopez' promotion) and Management Factory (Lopez' agency), I think it's going to be tricky for him. Look what happened to Trabelsi when he tried to cuck Lopez, he got in limbo for a year unable to fight anywhere.

Abdoul is making money in PFL and gets a chance to go for the million. I think he is probably OK with that for now.

He stalled out that offer for the best part of a year though hoping to get into the UFC. It's a decent second option for him though.

My son ain't leaving Fernand Lopez. No need to worry guys.

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

I don't understand why Lazy King/Baki being apart of Lopez's stable would make it difficult for them or other fighters to get signed to a big organizations? The DV allegations sound authentic and are obviously disturbing if true but what would that have to do with the potential employment of fighters under his management by premier organizations?

Because this sounds very much like a hit piece that contains some authentic information on Lopez's criminal history but its true intention is to harm his business interests. Why else would a feature purpotedly on domestic violence mention Lopez potentially losing two clients (who I am sure other managers would love to sign), or him not being in good standing with the UFC brass?

Because the ufc matchmakers don’t like Lopez. The UFC is not a promotion that does a lot of scouting, they just go to their fav managers to give them a name most of the time

Does the piece say why they don't like him? I would totally believe it since the guy came off as a real POS when he refused to allow Slim to continue his career elsewhere.

It just seems like a strange allegation since its not as if the UFC brass would be regularly socializing or doing business with an MMA coach that lives on the other side of the world? And if it were true that they had a distain for him why would it come out in a news feature on domestic violence? I am sure there are plenty of MMA managers they don't like doing business with but this would be the only one that made its way into a hit piece in a foreign language publication?

He had a falling out with Ali over Slim Trabelsi

Like Helloawhosthat mentioned, Lopez has beef with Ali over Slim Trabelsi. Ali is a lot closer and more valuable to the UFC then Lopez. Ali is also petty and had a fake Twitter account that first posted about the Lopez arrest after the beef started

That was all Ali? Fuck who gave him the scoop on this I remember that account even posted the mugshot on Fernand Lopez. But kinda fucked by Ali to only mention it when he got fucked over business wise.

I am reading andwatching batshit crazy stuff about Lopez atm:

- Taylor Lapilus was waiting for months to get a fight for the last UFC Paris and decided to contact directly Sean Selby, to find out that Lopez falsely told Sean Shelby that Taylor Lapilus was injured and unavailable. That's why Lapilus left.

- Apparently (only rumours at this stage), Loopez received offers to sign Abdoul Abdouraguimov for UFC Paris but did not tell him, and only transmitted the PFL offer.
Logic is simple: Abdoul was willing to go to the UFC for less money, so that would mean a lower share for Lopez than if he went to PFL.

Looks like Lopez will go down in flame soon. He also apparently lost his big Venum training camp, and the arena where they were having ARES FC events.

Well that Lazy King news really pissed me off.

I understand why Lopez's fighters are not signed to DWCS nor the big roster anymore
The guy didn't communicate the fight proposals to Abdouraguimov and Lapilus
The guy is not on speaking terms with the UFC's broadcaster in France and the same for Gane, and it's said that they were close to fighting them in the past
The guy had his organisation being considered as a getaway to the UFC and being in the UFC Fight Pass but prevented Trabelsi to join the UFC
