What's the point of winning the belt

[Uncommon Valor]

more generally, they just give “title shots” to whoever they want, with no real criteria except perhaps marketability.

Depends on how much Dana likes you.

There is no point. Nothing matters.

Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism dude but at least it’s an ethos.

I can't think of anyone more deserving. CM Punk would be a great sacrifice for the JBG.

Think about it.... CM Punk has won many titles in other organizations and has defended his titles many times.

UFC will be just another notch on the bed post.

I agree. I think he should fight Gaethje for the BMF title. It would be an amazing sight to see. CM Punk vs. Gaethje and special guest referee Mario Yamasaki. Such a special night for everyone involved.

You people are delusional.

• IZZY GAVE SEAN THAT TITLE FIGHT,
• THE UFC/DANA DIDNT EVEN WANT TO DO IT
• SEAN DIDNT EARN IT THE RIGHT FOR THAT FIGHT.
• SEAN wasnt even number one contender
• Izzy is P4P GOAT IN MIDDLE WEIGHT
• CLEANED OUT THE DIVISION
• ITS SEANS BIGGEST FIGHT
• Izzy is the undisputed King

Maybe i would understand if izzy JUST won the title for the FIRST TIME, AND
HADNT CLEANED OUT THE DIVISION YET.
but no. HE DID. and until he falls TF off then......thats that

nobody has a problem with colby getting the belt over Belal. AND COLBY'S RESUME SUCKS
actually if i recall wasnt people trolling leon for never getting the title shot despite his streak.
so EVERYONE BE QUIET.

all this cause Izzy made the snowflakes very uncomfortable with that face off.

“Unlimited rematches”. That’s never happened. Worse case scenario they fight 3 times. You’ll watch and you’ll enjoy it.

Winning the belt means Mo Money Mo Money Mo Money.

I seriously doubt Sean will have to fight Izzy again after seeing the pushback. Even Dana was hesitant about mentioning rematch last night, that fucking dipshit.

The fans spoke and Dana took notice. In the end Dana will put on what ever fighthe thinks makes the most $$$$

$500K? Is that fking all?!?!? How much was Strickland making the other night in a title fight main event if 500k is big money?. Jesus.

During the 11 years you've supposedly been a fan, have you ever, just out of curiousity, taken a gander at fighter pay?

Granted, it's much lower than some other professional sports, you must have some kind of inkling what the champs are getting paid in comparison to the other fighters, no?

And my bad
Because to my knowledge, 500k is life changing money

500k is not life changing money when close to 100k probably goes on taxes, then you've gotta pay for fight camps & other expenses (which will be very high at the elite level) & won't get paid for another 6 months.

Point is, if 500k is some massive pot of gold then what was he fighting for the other night (in the main event). And what's everyone else fighting for?

Of course I know fighter pay has been a topic of discussion for years but I didn't know it was this bad. Half the roster must be borderline losing money to fight.

In the same breath what’s the point of fighting your way up the rankings if guys get rewarded title shots for just sitting out?

I was honestly just trying to be nice.

But you're a full blown retard.

And you're a broke bum that thinks 500k is a lot of money for being the best on the planet. Dana white spends at least that on sneakers every year ffs (heard him say it with his own mouth).

This is why the top guys all walk away from the sport or hardly ever fight; Rousey, Ngannou, McGregor, GSP, Jones. This chicken feed only appeals to bums with no other option.
