Blaydes on whether he wants to face Jon Jones: " I'm not going to fight Jon Jones for 200k

[Deleted member 510653]

Part of the problem for Blaydes as well is that nobody wants to see the 3rd Ngannou fight so it could well be that a superfight with Jones is his biggest match.

How exactly is Curtis Blaydes one half of a superfight?

Pretty much, the UFC will always try to stiff a fighter of their real worth unless the fighter ends up in a strong negotiation position at some point.

Overeem for example gets paid the big money because Dana fucked up, he thought he could count on JDS KOing Reem and either Allistair would have to accept a small contract or he'd be happy to see him go to Bellator. Overeem pulls off the win in impressive fashion though and Dana is forced to pay him what he's really worth.

100 pct everything here is true

esp the bolded part

He's right when he says he makes the same amount of money regardless of the opponent. The flip side of that is, his future earnings would be massively impacted if he were to beat Jones. If he beats some top 15 guy, not so much. Personally, I don't dislike Blaydes in that fight, especially over 3 rounds.

So you agree that Blaydes needs to earn his shit? Heard.

Because his beard is fuckin amazing,alright?!!!?>?

God!

Ah, you concede? I accept. Good day, friend.

 

[HHJ]

Fans: UFC Fighters should be paid more
Blaydes: yea!
Fans: OMG CURTIS BLAYDES SHUT THE FUCK UP

Perhaps they're different fans

Mind blown

Why would I not accept your tap? Are you trying to pull a Chael? Tapping doesn't just lose you the round, friend. Sorry for ya!

Nah
it all depends on if they like the guy getting screwed or not.

I had a foot on the rope. Pancrase rules bud. Do you even 1995?

You missed the rules meeting. There's no ropes. Do you even UFC?

 

[HHJ]

Do you even UFC?

Not one damn bit,sir

 

[Fioretti]

Not one damn bit,sir

Clearly. Back to the lightweights with you.

 

[stinkynecklace]

Am I the only one that thinks Blaydes is overcompensated?

 

[HHJ]

Clearly. Back to the lightweights with you.

I will be here at the heavies long after you are gone.

"Remember Foretti" will be something they wont say,

Nobody will remember "Foretti", you're right. Does that guy even exist? Your vision is blurred. Probably from tapping too hard. Better go back to the lightweights. You can't handle the weight here. You don't even UFC.

Source? I’m not being a dick just genuinely curious if you’re right or not.

Didnt the ppv point system pretty much die with the ESPN deal.
My understanding is its not what it used to be.

EDIT: "The UFC is taking ESPN’s “license fee” on the front end — that fighters will very likely not directly see — and almost certainly taking a hit in the amount of money generated from pay-per-view buys."

I cant find anything newer but did a quick google so no real effort.

Fml at the mask.

Why? Most of the country is wearing them
