Paddy Pimblett is indeed getting robbed of his money!
Why didn't he ask Dana why he gets a total of $0.00 from their YouTube channel, IG, Twitter, Facebook, etc using footage of him?
What about when UFC embedded invades his privacy on fight week for content? Or what about...
I think it’s important to share that The Korean Zombie said this in his parting words to Joe Rogan.
He told the translator that he doesn’t think that he’s going to be fighting for the championship anymore. He wants to think about what he’s fighting for moving forward.

Bobby Green is not happy with USADA.
He bought a new house and USADA showed up at his old one.
Showed up at his gym when he wasn’t there for practice at that time.
But look on the bright side - they’ll give you a sick varsity jacket for compliance!
Almost 8 years ago, Yair Rodriguez in his 2nd UFC fight told
@arielhelwani
he had less than $400 before UFC 188.
Today, he became the interim UFC Featherweight Champion in Perth, Australia. Via submission. What a journey.

Remember the Full Send “reporter” who got slapped by Nate for talking about Maximov?
Well, Luke Rockhold confronted him today for bringing a NACHO LIBRE mask to Chito who’s Ecuadorian.
Clip is the interaction Luke is referencing. Chito did not like this BS.
Stephan Bonnar vs. Forrest Griffin is without a doubt, the most important fight in UFC history.
This is the moment when Dana & Lorenzo decides to give Bonnar the 6-figure UFC contract even though he lost the fight.

Excellent questions here posed to Jorge and Colby. Brainstormed 🧠 ⬇️
...when UFC Countdown crew follows him around during fight camp to get interviews and gathers footage for their channels that probably rake in more than 6 figures a month?
What about from the ESPN MMA channels? How about when their social team cuts all his interviews and...
It seems like a lot of the frustrations were projected onto the wrong person. Yet, the very person that is withholding a majority of his potential monetary growth was sitting right in front him and he said absolutely nothing for self-advocation.
...soundbites to reuse on their channels that probably get hundreds of thousands of views if not, more?
Why doesn't he ask his manager Graham Boylan who's very diligent about asking
@arielhelwani
& BT for money but doesn't advocate for his share of the pie from the UFC?
Is it because his manager prioritizes his relationship & questionable business ethics over his livelihood?
I can't think of any other reason as to why he hasn't fought for him to get a much bigger % of the revenues that the UFC is making off his likeness.

Paul Daley sucker punches Koscheck and was given a lifetime ban by Dana White.
Jason High pushes a referee. Lifetime ban by Dana White.
Dana White assaults his wife and the fact that it happened (in the words of J. Peterman) is, punishment enough.

Here’s Machida’s dad drinking his own urine on camera at UFC 113 🍻
Still baffling to me that I can count on one hand the amount of MMA media outlets that have covered this.
The James Krause story may be the biggest story this year and… silence.
Mostly

covering it.
With the signing of Shane Burgos to the PFL, it's becoming more and more evident to me that the fan perception of Bellator being the

promotion is being shared by fighters and managers alike.
I'm feeling the shift.
@bisping
This dude finally decides to fight instead of begging for replies from the Pauls on Instagram and he literally falls over... from punching a fucking machine...?
Remember when Mir told
@arielhelwani
the same thing before UFC 107? He was gonna put Kongo to sleep because he didn’t wanna maul his body in front of his kids knowing Kongo wouldn’t tap. Kongo ended up going to sleep by guillotine from not tapping 🔮
What a fucking cold ass answer lmao. I'm so glad my opponent tapped so we didn't have to see me rip his fucking arm off and take it home with me, there was no need for bloodshed.
@aaronbronsteter
Cormier and Rogan analyzing how Jiri looked when standing back up but conveniently skips over the fact that Alex Pereira had full mount before that.
And the only reason why Jiri "escaped" from mount to stand back up is because the fight was called off while Pereria was mounted.
@MMAjunkie
Dana lying as usual. Here’s clips of him having worked directly with Biden when he was VP. Biden called on him personally to encourage voter turnout.
@arielhelwani
: “When he (Biden) says jump, you say “how high”
Dana: “Exactly”
Ring a bell, Dana?
Texts between

and
@bisping
in May 2016 when Bisping got the title fight.
Ariel: “This is a story we’ll share when we’re two old men, looking back on how you won the belt.”
Bisping: “Wouldn’t that be something :)”
Chills.

11 yrs ago today, UFC 124 was held at the Bell Centre w/ GSP vs. Koscheck II. Other fighter on the card? The current champion Charles Oliveira. Shockingly submitted by Jim Miller in the 1st. Only other fighter that remains from that card is John Makdessi.
