Blanchfield vs Barber aftermath

[CroCopsLHK]

Here's my thoughts of what to do:

Erin Blanchfield should be paid to show. In a perfect world she'd get paid a win bonus but I dont think that's happening, maybe she won't be paid at all. I can't imagine what it's like training for someone, cutting weight and then it all goes away. Must be tough to turn around and do ot again, but maybe they should offer her a fight very soon. I'm sure the process and change of opponent is tough but she's been training. Maybe a feeder fight in a few weeks/month or so

Maycee Barber... well she caused a lot of alarms. Ufc don't want that attention on fighters or weight cutters. Regardless who's at fault or what headlines have been made, she should be on the back burner. At least for 6 months. Give her time to rest. And after she has quite a ways to go from headlining an event

As for UFC, I suppose I wish they women's divisions were a little deeper. I just wish there was more matchup options

She's obvisously gonna get paid. Don't be a drama queen. The UFC is used to handle business like this, it's not like it's the first time it has happened.

The UFC and the fighters know exactly what's gonna happen if an opponent misses weight. It's in their contract. It's been discussed and agreed upon.

Don't be a drama queen and act as if the fighters don't know what's gonna happen.

Okay "drama queen" lol fighters contracts aren't readily available to me. I think you're jumping the gun here

That's good for her. Nullifies a lot of the inconvenience for sure. Who knows what's next for her

It's not a guarantee. There is no specific "this is what happens when a fighter misses the fight" in the contract. The UFC can run through several options that can get them to say no to paying you.

It's not worth the PR in a case like this to deny it though, of course they'd pay Erin here. But again, no, it's not a guarantee

It was the most fun wmma fight ever, i enjoyed it

 

[ThaiSexPills]

She should be paid to win too if her contract has a win bonus. Was she? I’ve seen cases where fighters were not.

So.... Jon Jones the GOAT? I don't like the Trump dance and all this, but a goat is a goat

I still remember when Jim Miller stepped up on a weeks notice to fight Green. Miller made weight but Green fainted on the scales and the fight got cancelled. Miller said he only got a fraction of his purse.

Jim Miller was disappointed he ended up not getting to fight at UFC 258 but what was worse is not even getting his full paycheck.

Nah, Cold Blooded is the JJ. Goated. I think whether he wins or not vs Tom he is already GOATED... But now that the fight is set, I am confident he will win!! But it'll be the toughest opponent ever, I want to see him tested!!

And what does that have to do with the topic?

Erin should get her show money. Don't think she should get her win bonus as well, but glad the UFC is paying someone. She's awfully mouthy for being a female Fitch, so hopefully she gets a little humble pie in her next one.

Maycee needs to make sure she's healthy. Whether it was the weight cut or some undiagnosed medical issue, seizures are serious. Hope she and her camp can get to the bottom of it and come out a stronger contender. We don't have many women on solid win streaks and she has a decent one.

So long as they didn't also count it as one of the fights they're required to offer per contract, that seems reasonable - what he made would then be almost pure bonus as he didn't exactly have a lot of training camp expenses to cover. He's not a 12K/12K guy, so a fraction of his purse probably means he turned a $5K+ profit after expenses for a few days of getting ready for a fight. Someone who does a full camp should always get at least their show money after a late cancellation, but a very late replacement getting expenses, some profit, and their usual fight offer is fine.

Can this attempt at swallowing cowardice protien PLEASE extend those dubs...

permanently?

And what does that have to do with the topic?

 

[MigitAs]

Nice for Erin to get a free payday and maybe another one if they fight again

Blanchfield's path seems straight forward. She got beat by Fiorot and Silva might be next for the title shot. It would make sense if they did Blanchfield vs. Jasudavicius next for the shot after Silva/Shevchenko.

Barber path is a bit more confusing. Barber already lost to Grasso but Grasso is in a rut now so a Barber rematch might go either way. I guess the best route would be Namajunas if she beats Maverick next but otherwise you could do Barber vs. Andrade since Andrade is on the last legs of her career.
