Why are multiple fighters piled into one bus?

[KB Warrior]

What if the bus crashes on the way back to the hotel? The whole card would be ruined. Its like when a business doesn’t let executives fly on the same plan in case it crashes. Each person should get their own vehicle.

Considering how the UFC treats its athletes, they're lucky to get a bus lol

i was saying earlier, if i was a fighter id rather drive a rental car with my team alongside me instead of being piled up with other fighters i dont even care about. could give 2 shits about their fights, i would only care about mine. just seems kinda crazy that they pile all of red corner into 1 bus and blue corner into another.

Because the bigwigs view them as nothing more than plowhorses. Or show ponies in McGregors case.

Rose walked back to the hotel

judging by the embedded series, they get treated with care and respect. now the money may be low, but the fighter treatment seems legit

Yep, they’re lucky they don’t have to ride pack mules.

Considering how they treat the athletes I wouldn't be surprised if they make the fighters pay the bus driver gas money.

It's merely a shuttle from where they train to where they go for media obligations.

Because multiple vehicles take more time? And theres horrible taffic jams and parking in NYC already...

I can't help but laugh at a clear voice of reason, inevitably, being ignored by the drooling mob.

Everybody is going from one place to another. Why not have buses ? Like on TUF. They have a couple of vans for the fighters.

This way nobody misses the media obligations etc. I’m sure they can do whatever they want. But NYC is a bitch to drive in. People could get lost etc.

That’s how I see it.

Woahhh rent a car? These fighters arent millionairs like sherdoggers

Considering how they treat their athletes i wouldn't be surprised if they let their fighters pull their own team via Pedicab.

 

[ThunderL1ps]

Should everyone have their own stretch limo?

[Why So Serious]

Excellent question TS. Being s sherdogger I naturally have insight into the ongoing decision making in the UFC. I advised Dana that a bus would be a great move. I was wrong. Forgot to calculate the risk of Conor McGregor traveling to NYC and throw a dolly at a bus window.

My bad.

those buses are actually really nice. many companies use them when going to conventions and press events when everyone at the company is staying at the same hotel.
