Media Former UFC HW fighter Aleksei Oleinik brutally knocked out in BKFC today

[Pharenheit]

That's only UFC earnings though. You gotta be aware of your age as fighter. 47 is crazy old. We all gotta make money. Yeah 1.5 milions is nothing ok. Go get knocked out in bkfc. Gonna be healthy.

That only reinforces my original point though. If ufc set them up with some mild pension, this wouldn’t be an issue

He needs to stay out of bare knuckle and striking in general.

Try to get some hw jiu jitsu matches with One, sell instructionals for his more unorthodox submissions, do the seminar gig at mma and bjj gyms, that sort of thing.

 

[Khaosan]

Well that’s depressing.

 

[RoastBeast]

That's what happens when grapplers enter BKFC. Hopefully the check was worth it.

 

[Thesnake101]

How do you lose everything in a divorce when they only get half?

Maybe he tried to get that half back in Vegas with Dana.

 

[TXstriker]

Tough break..

 

[Trabaho]

That only reinforces my original point though. If ufc set them up with some mild pension, this wouldn’t be an issue

Do the math. At what point is someone considered negible for UFC pension ? You mean the UFC paying 1000s people monthly retirement money.

Gosh that's a stupid idea.

 

[MDoza]

What the fuck?

You gonna tell me that Demian Maia is taking BKFC fight next?

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Shit dude
Standup is horrible so go do standup only?

I feel for guy. I like him. Met him backstage eons ago when he was a Bellator guy

 

[Jinx_AA]

Very sad

Guys fighting still caz he said his ex wife took everything and spent everything.


Shouldn’t be sanctioned

A grappler fighting bare knuckle

Old AF

Sad AF

UFC should be helping him - give him a job to save his brain and make a little income

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Fucking depressing shit right here.. I wish this brother well.

 

[TITS]

This made me sad. Glad I didn't watch this garbage event.

 

[Hdfi]

It's Tatyana's fault.

Why is she doing this? Does she have no consideration for the father of her children?

 

[Bubzeh]

The dark side of our sport.

Back story here, he needs money cause apparently he's broke from his divorce. His ex wife has his money and lives a lavish social life.

80-fight UFC veteran says ex-wife took everything in divorce battle

Rarely do happy endings happen in MMA, whether a fighter retires on a slew of losses or suffers the consequences of decades of repeated head trauma. There are n

Can't believe no one has commented on this, so far.

Absofuckinglutely sucks.

That's rough on every level.

Guessing he fought BKFC because BJJ pay doesn't cut it.

 

[Big Al's Texas BBQ]

it´s sad to get KOd at 47 like that but he made the choices and I will not pitty the man. Health over money. Conservative financial choices.

What "choices" are you talking about? You speak as if you know he wasted all his money on drugs and gambling.

 

[seanb1979]

Why doesn't he just do onlyfans?

 

[Poirierfan]

That was a severely life altering ko

 

[gentel]

Who the Tiananmen Square Massacre would sanction a 47y/o to get brutalized like that?

I'll go there and say that this was even stupider than Power Slap, and that's not something I say often

 

[CroCopsLHK]

This guy had wins from the 90s-2020s

Marriage fucking sucks. 1/2 marriages end in divorce. Not only that but so many fighters end up with women who leave them when their prime abilities leave them and that is fucking despicable

I don't think I'll ever want to get married. My shit is my shit. And it's so sad how SO MANY fighters have no backup skills, plans, money and abilities when the fighting is over

Gotta pray for the Boa Constrictor
