He was on a pretty good run before he lost to Anderson, dunno why I lold.

I wonder if Zuffa will remove him from the UFC HOF

I was on my way into this thread over the weekend to say 'I think Mitrione is drunk", then he beat the fuck out of that guy

I like Meathead alot. He is crazy and hilarious. Have high hopes for Black Beast but he needs more fights before a step up in comp this big.

Bonnar should have never been in the Hall of Fame.

It was only for the TUF 1 finale, which is the most significant fight in the history of the UFC

Anyone see Bigfoot get his brain pounded in?

I like Arlovski yelling fuck you at the crowd when they booed him

Calderwood has a nice accent.

Rose reminds me of a mini Ronda.

I think it's a combination of her voice and the way that she talks that makes the accent so love-able.

Nacho Beristain: 'I don't want to see a 'Juan Manuel Marquez-Manny Pacquiao 5'

Quote:

Hall of famer and considered as one of the greatest trainers in the history of boxing, Nacho Beristain revealed that his prized fighter, Juan Manuel Marquez, who decided to rest after his convincing win against Mike Alvarado earlier this year, will not fight the Filipino ring icon for the fifth time. “He will not fight Manny Pacquiao, I don’t want to see him in that fight,” Nacho said when interviewed by Miguel Rivera of Boxing Scene this evening, Oct. 3, 2014.

Marquez is being considered by some observers as the PacMan’s nemesis because of his ability to execute his game plan against the Filipino ring icon. Juan Manuel had two loses to Manny Pacquiao. Their first meeting was declared a draw, but according to some observers who were present during the event and the admission of one of the judges that he made a mistake when he failed to score a 10-7 favoring the "PacMan," it was Manny who won the fight.

Their second and third fight were overshadowed by controversies, according to Marquez, he was the winner of those fights even though the judges had already given the credit to Mann Pacquiao. When they met in the ring for the fourth time, Marquez was about to surrender when something good happened to him. He knocked Manny Pacquiao out.

It was an unexpected win because Manny was ahead by points before he got KO’d by Marquez and if the Mexican's corner man decided to stop the fight because of Marquez's condition, Manny Pacquiao would be declared winner via TKO. Unluckily, it didn’t happen. For some observers, Nacho Beristain was right when he decided to ignore the fifth fight between Marquez and Pacquiao because according to them, Manny will knockout Marquez.

I would consider it a shallow victory for Marquez since he lost the first three fights, was losing and could have lost the 4th fight and refused a fifth fight because he was scared of being knocked out and also Manny gave him 3 chances but Marquez won't return the favor.

Mayweather planning to promote MMA due to 'unfair treatment of fighters'

Quote:

MMA will most likely be getting a brand new promotion, and it will be headed up by none other than undefeated boxing superstar, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. While rumors and chatter have swirled around this venture for some time, it would appear that Mayweather is about to get serious in accomplishing this monumental task.

Floyd received his promoter's license from the Nevada Athletic Commission in July of this year, which came shortly after his split with Golden Boy Promotions. The license was "quickly and unanimously" approved, as reported by Sherdog, and met with no resistance that might have come about due to his multiple brushes with the law over the last several years.

Mayweather plans to hold both boxing and MMA events, citing unfair treatment as the main reason he wants to promote mixed martial arts. Mayweather spoke recently to FightHype.com about his plans:

If you want to be treated fair, come over to Mayweather Promotions. We believe in the talent winning. That's what we believe in. We believe in treating our boxers and our MMA fighters fair. I want a lot of MMA fighters to get in touch with Mayweather Promotions.

I look forward to putting on my first MMA show also and having me some MMA champions. Like I said before, Floyd Mayweather loves to think outside the box. We're not just one-dimensional. We are very versatile and we have an open mind. When I get into the MMA game, I want them to make more money than they're making, because from what I hear, they're not being treated fair. Once again, I don't have nothing to say about nobody. I'm only talking about what I'm here to do. I'm here to treat fighters fair. I'm here to treat MMA fighters fair, and I feel that the talent should win.

Mayweather has demonstrated that he is extremely capable of handling successful business enterprises, and might be the remedy needed to shake the stranglehold the UFC has on the market. As always, Bloody Elbow will keep our readers updated on this story as more information becomes available.

I think UFC fighters are paid well it's just that they have trainers and managers that take a share of that money and that's hard on the lower tier fighters. The total payout of a UFC card is usually 1 million plus and the company takes in a lot more than that per event so I do think they have wiggle room in the fighter budget.
