Ufc fighters really don't make shit - ufc 196 experience

[Algee]

Saw rory mcdonald tonight at the mgm grand signature, chilling at a regular ass hotel, hopping into some regular cab by himself in a hoodie and swearshirt going off to probably do some regular ass shit like the rest of us bums.

It was cool to see a pro fighter but kind of sad at the same time. Mad respect for that dude after his fight with blood God lawler but damn... shit ain't right.

 

[sidecheckkick]

I wouldn't want to go near him either. Has that serial killer vibe

 

[Codpiece]

You ever stand at the supermarlet checkouts and there are magazines there with "Stars Without Makeup" and crap on them, and you look at the picture and some starlet has jogged down to the local coffee shop in her tracki-dacks and looks regular?


This was that moment for Rory. I'm sure he is doing OK.

Dude. He has some money. Just because he's not taking limos and has the 10 guy entourage like a LeBron James. Doesn't mean he's broke.

I'm sure he would be a cool dude if u would have talked to him. Try talking to Kobe Bryant in a public street. Good luck.

 

[muaytao]

Maybe hes good at saving money?

You feel sad for one of the baddest guys ever walked in the world???Man you need to change something about your mentality

 

[gottaluvmma]

His disclosed salary for UFC 189 was only 59k. That is sad for sure, that was one of the best fights I've seen in along time.

Well that's why I feel sad. Rory is one of my favorites. Total bad ass. His performance against lawler will forever have my respect as one of the greatest performances of all time. He was still a winner imo. Dana should be posting up dudes better than that.

So......if you make money you can't be seen at the hotel you're fighting at? Does that make any sense whatsoever?

You can't take a cab? He should waste money on a limo?

And god forbid he was wearing a regular ass hoodie?

holy fuck!!!!! must start thread!!!!!

 

[nostradumbass]

You missed the most important part. The guy is just wandering around Vegas on a weekday afternoon before probably sitting in the first few rows at the event tomorrow, and that's just another day for him. All the rest of the bums who had to take a weekend trip away from work throw on their best clothes to make a special event out of it, and for Rory it's just another weekend.

 

[yekmurat]

Let's not exaggerate too much.

No doubt you still dont know much about the sport...Those guys are true destroying machines who can fight for 25 minutes whereever the fight goes...Especially if you fight for the UFC title and gave the hell to the champion..

Grand signature is the budget mgm grand hotel. Not the same.

You're missing the point. I'm not knocking on rory. I love him to death. I'm knocking on ufc for not paying him at the same level as other professional athletes that are as elite in their sport.

Not every rich person or well off person is like a certain someone who needs to flaunt their $$ and tell everyone about it. Some just like to be normal

I got the point man.....I'm just saying you drew a lot of conclusions because a guy stayed at a certain hotel and took a cab.

 

[yekmurat]

Dude, you're speaking in comparison to the rest of the world throughout history. First of all, I've been a fan of MMA since prior to TUF 1, and secondly, I think the whole "baddest man on the planet" when it comes to professional athletes competing in sport needs to stop.

He's probably not even top one million, and that's being generous. He's tough, he's a skilled, and he's a good sportsman. But let's be realistic.

Sorry but with 2016 join date you dont look that expert right now...and since the start of the humanity I dont think any type of men has well trained as the top level MMA fighters...those guys can kill an untrained human being in seconds with bare hands...

 

[Cheapshart]

Maybe he's living modestly while sensibly putting money away for his retirement? He's not making Champ money yet.

 

[Higgins2Waite]

If he was struggling for $$$ he'd fight more (i wish he did fight more often). They are underpaid, but as mentioned previously he probably doesn't care about the material things. I wouldn't waste money on limos and fancy hotels unless uncle dana was paying.

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Im sure he is a little depressed about almost be the ww champ and all the things people expect of the next gsp.

 

[yekmurat]

Yeah that gif really displays you very well...
