Would like to see him in Bellator.
Those are cheap tactics. "Let me build you up from the bottom doing you a favor, but you'll get less money in turn for my favor". What's with these MMA managers being so damn shady?
I want WSOF to just die already so UFC/Bellator can pick up their talent.
It is absolutely insane how quickly Ali killed all fan support for WSOF and pretty much killed them after their great buzz when they started. As soon as he publicly came into the picture it all went downhill.
My guess it also has to do with his last performance and him moving forward fighting in main event or co main event spots.
Honestly if you were just flipping through channels and saw the beat down Newell got and see he has one hand it just doesn't sit right in the mind. I felt bad for the guy in that fight(not to mention questioning what I was watching is right) and I like watching him fight. But he is the one usually laying the beating.
I think behind the scenes there might be some ethics being considered.
I couldn't agree more about the whole morality thing with him and it's pretty sad. The beating he took deon JG was hard to stomach and that is saying alot if a mma fan has a hard time with simply watching one fight.
On a side note does anyone elgar think it's kind of unfair he doesn't have to put some sort of glove on his stump? I know it's not really do-able but he basically has a bare knuckle I would think. I wonder what that feels like getting hit by that. I would lose my shit if he got a clean ko with it!!!
Not sure about how I feel about Newell when he leaves WSOF. UFC won't sign him, and if Bellator does, he's gonna get picked apart by their LWs. No way he beats Brooks, Jansen, Held, Chandler or Sarnavsky. Maybe not even Pitbull. I hate to say it, but Newell has prob hit his ceiling.
They signed Punk............
As they say gloves are more for protecting a fighters hands than cushioning a punch
Mind...blown! That's pretty common knowledge dude.
I think an elbow with some sort of padding isn't as likely to cause cuts. Maybe that better illustrates my point?
Except that people don't use pads on their elbows in MMA. So no you really don't have a point.
