[DebtCollectorMMA]

Spared him from a worse beating and got his show money.

Apply the situation/logic to a different profession besides fighting.

You're a window washer. A company hires you and another guy to come wash their building. You arrive the day before and the other window washer pushes you. You are too injured to wash any windows and go home without working.

Why should the company still pay you for work you didn't do? Shouldn't your gripe be with the guy who pushed you in the first place?

Bro what the fuck

If you're at work and your co-worker injures you so you can't work, the company is going to pay you. Fuck, you could probably take the guy to court and he'd have to pay you LOL

Are you retarded or just really high?

These are not co-workers. These are independent contractors. Those are 2 very different things.

 

[Tito Tapped]

What the??? That’s the craziest comparison I e seen on this site. And that’s saying something.

Which part don't you agree with? C'mon a take a stab at discussion, I'm not going to flame you for trying.

 

[richardjohnson]

The UFC created this entire situation themselves. If they’d didn’t hype up every little bit of drama between fighters you probably wouldn’t see a fighter try to hurt their opponent before the actual fight.

 

[storeybuckle]

Wonder if it should come out of Stephen’s purse down the line?

Yeah, both working for the UFC

If 2 independant contractors are hired by the same company, and one of them injures the other, the company will pay

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Lol for what? Pulling out of a fight because a push “concussed” him?


Soy era of MMA.

 

[Kryptt]

Good deal!

Still a tad irradiated we lost a match over antics but least it was nothing of much significance.

 

[Pliny Pete]

He was at a company mandated job function when he was injured, he is entitled to his entire contracted pay

These guys need a union so freaking bad

 

[Yep]

What do you mean? There’s no discussion to be had. Why would anyone compare it to a different profession? Let’s use your logic. You could then have the window washers do media, take drug tests, decide what is optimal window washing weight and make them cut to it, bet on who washes the windows the best in Vegas, and they can punch each other while doing it. . Let’s use your logic to discuss why steak shouldn’t have the same nutritional value as an apple by comparing it to another food. But thanks for the opportunity anyway. We can’t debate or discuss cuz we have no common ground. There’s no comparing this to a different profession.

There is no negligence by the employer in this case. The employer does not have a duty to ensure that the contractor’s employees perform their work safely.

I compared independent contractors to other independent contractors. You should try a basic google search to understand the premise of the argument.

"After some back and forth"

lmao were they seriously considering not paying this guy?

Were they even considering paying him before the back and forth?

Jim Miller reveals UFC paid him “a fraction” of his purse for canceled UFC 258 fight: “I made a couple thousand dollars”


Jim Miller was disappointed he ended up not getting to fight at UFC 258 after making weight. But, what was worse is the fact he went home without his full paycheck.

Miller was set to face Bobby Green in the prelim headliner of UFC 258 in February. However, at weigh-ins, Green fainted and the fight was called off. For Miller, he says it sucked for him to not fight given he took the fight on a week’s notice and cut a ton of weight.

https://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/exc...58-fight-i-made-a-couple-of-thousand-dollars/

That's a shitty way to do business on the UFC's part. Seems to me that if a guy officially makes weight for the fight, he should get paid full show money regardless of whether the other fighter is in shape to fight.

Tell me more about this insane hypothetical. Are you injured by this other window washer at a job-related function like a training?

Companies generally have to have workers' compensation Insurance in case of work-related injuries and it protects independent contractors as well as employees. Specific details depend on state law and the terms of the policy.

Workers comp would not protect you if you were injured off the job, like if the other window washer ran into you at a McDonald's on your day off and attacked you there.

 

[Yep]

I compared independent contractors to other independent contractors. You should try a basic google search to understand the premise of the argument.

You should try the premise of realizing those aren’t equal in comparison no more than meat is a food and grain is a food. Different professions. There’s absolutely no comparison whatsoever. But you die on this hill and continue to think you’re smarter than you are.

Good for Drakkar.
- I hope they remake that fight again really soon and I hope that Jeremy Stephens got a really stern "do NOT, ever, do that again" talking to. I like Stephens fighting but he is always so close to exploding, dude's got a delicate hair-trigger.
