Todd Duffee and Meathead will be nice additions to Bellator

has meatwad been cut from the ufc?

Surprised the UFC isn't paying these guys decently. Both green with lots of years left.

You don't know how much they are getting paid. Fighters salary released to the commission isn't everything they make. Duffe and Meathead have to worry about winning a fight before talking $ again. They haven't looked good.

Bellator Fight Master: tuf 10 comeback

Main event: Titties vs Kimbo

I had such high hopes for Duffee. Too bad his chin is made of wet paper bags.

And he loads up his punches like a 10 yr old hitting one of those arcade punching bags. He's not a top level fighter, just a strong athlete.

Actually, Yes I do.

For his last fight, Todd Duffee made: ($12,000)

For Meatheads last fight, he made: ($36,000)

Don't type that bullshit about hidden bonuses. Each guy may have double their money with a win and with a FOTN bonus maybe $50k extra. None of that money is a lock. Reebok pays Meathead $10k and Duffee < $5k.

Their salaries to get into a ring and risk being KO'd or Submitted is laughably low. Professional bicycle riders likely make more.

Ok, what's going on?

Are Meathead and Duffman getting released? Or is this just speculation. I'd love to see them in Bellator. There are plenty of cool matchups for them there.

 

[JKS]

They need it

Have they revived Duffee since the Mir fight yet? I saw Mits was crying for a fight and these 2 big boys will guarantee a KO 1 way or another.

 

[Diggem]

Meathead may be on the way out, but I don't think Duffee spent all that time trying to get back in the big show just to bail now.

He already learned the lesson of talking yourself out of a job bitching about pay.

I hope Duffee stays. Meathead can hit the bricks and hope the door hits him on the way out.

it would be interesting

Learn to read mmamanifesto is not accurate it even posts a disclaimer saying so.

Also a fight night payout is not a fighters salary

Matt Mitrione is 37 and Todd Duffee struggles to stay conscious.

They don't deserve much.
