News Stipe lands full-time job with fire department

[Captain Herb]

Haven't seen this posted but can you be full time with a fire department and still train MMA at the top level? Does this indicate he may not be coming back? Any fire fighters out there?

good for him. probably making better money

 

[AP_RESURRECTION]

He will prob come back for a big pay day and get his ass kicked once or twice so another person can build their name.

Correct me if I am wrong. I always assume that firefighters don't do much except chill and workout in the station unless they have emergency. They work like ten 24 hour days out of a month then get all of rest of the month off? I only assume because I knew a paramedic for the fire dept. She sleeps in her truck most of the time but her shifts are like 12 hours and sometimes 24.

yeah, I don't know, that's what I'm asking because it seemed possible that he could fight Jones for the interim

 

[Randy Fandy Fo Fanders]

Even as a full-time firefighter, it is completely possible that he can still train four days a week.

No way is Stipe returning after seeing the full power of Naganu the POS version 2.0 against Gane last month

 

[DatSamboKid]

Very honorable, but you can’t be the greatest working a full time job.

At this point, in the greater Cleveland area, stipe only takes a job if he knows for sure they’ll play ball.

Guaranteed that he will build his own work schedule if and when he gets a fight scheduled.

Stipe is somebody around here.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Stipe I'm sure his contract with the fire department has exceptions to when he fights. They'll let him go fight when necessary. Just like getting a leave of absence from work.

Happy for him, athough I think he should be spending most of his time training for the Jon Jones fight if he wishes to be competitive

literally yes. don’t make insane money but it’s a solid $60K-$70K a year with benefits and government protection

Maybe Francis will lose his cat in a tree and call stipe.

My mom actually called the fire department for that one time when I was about 5. They laughed and said ‘we don’t really do that’

Fire fighters bust it during emergencies.

But the pay structure they have is they work 24 hour shifts or longer. If there is no fire, they hang around, watch TV, sleep, or even train. Great job really. They have a lot of time off.

Firestations have nice gyms. He can even schedule it where a coach drops by to hit pads for 45 minutes then leave. It all depends on his boss allowing it I guess. I doubt he even needs to do that. He is a HW and older guy. He isn't going to learn anything new. 4 hard days a week is tough enough.

And most of them make a little side money or enjoy the time off.

 

[Masturbin]

He doesn't want to fight anymore

They work up to 48 hour shifts sometimes more, 24 hour shifts are normal.
Yes they spend a lot of time in the firehouse, but they have to be ready go at a moments notice.

In New York they get tons of calls depending where they are.
Pretty crazy job.
