Pereira will fight his fifth fight in 14 months. That's a fight every 3 months on average. Do you consider it as possible exploitation?

Is there such thing as anti-exploitation laws in mma? For example, in normal jobs there are laws that make it illegal to overwork your employees.
Alex is showing how it's done. That's the ideal for all fighters, but it's gotten rarer in recent years.

he's not complaining, quite the opposite. He thanked the UFC for this opportunity to headline the card at International Fight Week.
 
Pereira is basically striking while the iron is hot...imagine the purse they offered him to put his title on the line on short notice, how short? Probably back to the canceled press conference.

He was discussed for UFC 301 right after 300, the man is not afraid to step in.
Are you the same guy who was complaining that he fights too often?
There is always that one guy.
 
bro yer lucky it’s 20-woke-24 and not the old days. we key warriors were a fearsome lot. you woulda got bamboozled.
 
Some of these other bums should take notes. They fight once/year, turning down fights and sitting out waiting for a hand picked opponent and cry about not getting paid enough, meanwhile Pereira shows up 2 1/2 years ago in his mid 30s, doesn't even speak English, even has a recent KO loss, but just says yes and shows up whenever they ask him to and the dude is probably going to come away with like $11-12 million in just over a year.
 
His body, his choice. But seriously, its gonna be annoying as fuck if he loses and then fans just start tattooing him as "washed" like Volk....

We should really cherish fighters like this that stick to minimal drama and get the job done. Also Jiri fought the last time that Poatan did so its not like they have uneven duration of rest afaik.
 
No, fighters today are just pussies.

Fedor fought 7x in 2003. 5 times in MMA and fought Oleinik bare knuckle full contact sambo that year and also Magomed Magomedov in full contact sambo that year as well. He had 23 fights from 2000-2004 + at least 20 full contact sambo fights.

Mirko fought 8x in 2004.

Barnett fought 7x in 2006.

Igor Vov fought 5x in one night before.

This is nothing new.

5x in one night is fucking insane.

I knew Igor was a bad ass motherfucker even within the subset of bad ass motherfuckers, but that is some gangster shit right there.
