Brad Tavares has 25 UFC fights and has never received a post fight bonus

Tavares is like the most neutral MMA fighter in the entire UFC IMO. He isn't great at anything, he isn't terrible at anything. OK cardio, OK chin, OK gameplanning. Personality not annoying or memorable in any way. He's just kind of a generic MMA fighter. Don't get me wrong, he's good, just not kind of blah.

He's a wimp even when he's winning.

Every time he hurt GM3, his corner would start calling out a combo for him to throw, and every time he just feinted for like 20 seconds and then ended up just throwing nothing lol.

Pathetic fighter. I'm glad he's never got a bonus.

Brad Tavares is one of the fighters of all time in the UFC
he is absolutely an MMA fighter, yep, no doubt

I never understood the point of journeyman vs journeyman fights, Tavares should be fighting an up and comer

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

He has two finishes in 25 UFC fights. Extremely boring fighter.

We've had more boring fighters but yeah that says a lot that this guy has been in the UFC forever and there was always more exciting fighters than him every card.

TBF, he isn't wrong. Most of Brads fights have been snoozers.

I've been watching MMA longer than you, 2017 noob. Point me towards an exciting Tavares fight.

Most of his fights are boring as shit

None of his fights are really boring either. Did GM3 humping him from behind for 3 minutes until the ref broke it up excite you?

 

[StewDogg11]

I do find it odd given his stocky build and technical striking acumen he doesn’t have more power.

 

[MDoza]

That’s wild because he’s been in some great fights. He always brings it.

He really doesn't though.

I struggle to think of a more non consequential fight than Tavares vs. Meerschaert

The sentiment is not entirely wrong, though. He's kind of like how Gleison Tibau was. Tons of fights, fought a bunch of known guys, more wins than losses, but always a middling card filler with largely unmemorable fights. Nothing wrong with it, but he's just one of those guys. Guys like that are necessary. Gatekeepers to the next level of gatekeepers.

Gerald is similar, himself, he has just generally been more of kill or be killed guy, which adds some excitement to his fights.

But his longevity to stay with the company for 15 years is impressive. It's unfortunate the UFC doesnt have some sort of pension program for veterans who stick around that long.

If you're gonna count his 25 fights he's also been KOd five times.

Brother he's one of the most forgettable fighters out there, unless he's getting absolutely blasted. Vast majority of his wins are him doing a bit more than his opponent to pull out a decision, nothing more, nothing less.

You know what? Im gonna say it.
Tavares did OK in UFC

 

[Doctor Grudge]

25 fights is a lot. Does anyone have any idea how much he makes now?

There's a theme there...
