The dollar million dong
I'm sure that if you totaled all of Rockhold's assets he's worth at least $1,000,000. And even if that's not the case, the show's BS as I'm sure there's been so-called millionaire contestants with less money than Rockhold.
I think the bigger point here is the host, Patti, would have been a real force in woman's MMA is she chose it as a profession - she's a force. Maybe it's not too late, book Patti v Ronda, 2017
This is basically me right now haha. If I had got into a relationship with girls I would go on dates or fool around with I would have just been settling. So I guess kudos to him if he wants to actually find someone to care about more than that... but I agree reality show takes away any respect for it.
And some people find this surprising? He's been training and fighting for that many years, so it could be that he wasn't willing to commit to someone when he can't always be around. I'm sure a lot of fighters are only married cause they got a girl pregnant too. (Sad but true).
Did he actually say that in the interview? That he's basically living the life of a Motley Cure member?
And I highly doubt he's a millionaire by now. I can't imagine that anyone in the UFC whose not a title holder who who is not contending for the title is actually a millionaire.
Rockhold has made 40k + 40k in his last 3 fights (plus a 50k POTN bonus in the bisping fight). Hes nowhere near a million in total assets.
You think that is bad, there is this woman at work, late 20s, that thinks she is a lot hotter than she is, although she is still pretty cute. Anyway, she has been with this dude for like 6 years. She has said her goal in life is to stay at home while the man works. Something which I am sure this guys knows which is probably why he hasn't proposed. Anyway, one day she was acting a little too smug so a buddy of mine decided to fuck with her and says "you know after 6 years if he was gonna marry ya he would've done it by now, why don't you just give it up before you get any older?"I personally don't plan on getting married or having kids so when I date someone it's not a life and death choice if they're perfect for the bearing of my children and wifehood. I'm far more concerned about their quality as a person and if I like being around them/the sex is good.
What really bums me out is hearing about people who 'settle' just because they still haven't found that perfect person and their biological clocks are ticking hard. I overheard one of the most depressing conversations of my life once by unintentionally eavesdropping on some office people. I drifted in when a dude was telling a coworker about how him and his wife's first date was in Central Park. There was some low talking and she exclaimed, "Wow, you must have have gotten married soon then." at which point I tuned in. He explained that after they'd been dating three weeks the woman asked him if he wanted to get married. He said he had to think about it and obviously they went ahead and did it.
Everything about this is deeply saddening. The guy didn't look that old, had to be over thirty but not by much. At that point both he and his wife were willing to accept someone, pretty much anyone, as long as they were within attraction limits and had stable financial history. And people wonder why divorce rates are 50%. Getting married (apparently to some asshole you just met), having kids and a house happiness does not make.
Moral of the story is, don't be that guy (or gal). Yeah sifting through an endless stream of people sucks and you'll have to make compromises, but don't roll dice on marriage. At best it's a messy legal contract you have to undo and at worst it will ruin your life.
In so many words.

WTF, Rockhold deserves better than that.

Her answer was "No way, I have already invested way too much time in him to start start over now"
I was like, wtf? That is how she looks at it? Love has nothing to do with it. It is basically a prostitute banging the same dude hoping it turns into a Pretty Woman scenario where he decides even though he is having sex with her for money that maybe he will just ask her to marry him. I can get people that stay together for the kids or because they don't want to start over after being married for so long although single and happy seems better than married and miserable. But if the relationship didn't start on a foundation of love then that is just sad. I know many don't but it was just surprising to see how casually some people admit it, even if without realizing it.
I think the point there (and what he basically said) is that he goes around like a filthy sailor from port to port and hooks up with women that basically mean nothing. He'd like to have a real relationship instead of an endless line of skanks.
It seems nuts but a decade is a long time to go without a single stable relationship. I'd say good for him if he wasn't doing it on a tv show.
Why do men do this? I'm not trying to start some great battle of the sexes. This just legitimately puzzles me. I've tried to find some sort of logic or reason to this behavior and I have yet to find any.
