So Edgar fights in a championship fight, retains his belt by beating one of the best 155ers ever, and his TOTAL purse is less than 150K.

On the other hand, James Toney, who is pretty much a laughingstock, gets $500K in his first fight ever, a fight in which he proved he has no business being an MMA fighter. Yeah, that sounds about right. :facepalm:

Sorry, but shit like this makes it hard to take the UFC seriously, and only fuels the fire for its many detractors.

Oh, I must have read it wrong then. I thought it said he made 96 as a base, and then 46 as a bonus. But I have no idea how Dana comes up with his payouts, so I'm totally ignorant on that subject.

Yeah, Toney clearly earned every penny of that purse. :mj07:

Why the fuck is Karo back in the UFC:shrug: :nono:

Please don't tell me you believed Dana when he said he was done with Karo and WOULD NEVER be brought back into the UFC again.

:142smilie

Who saw this coming?

:0052

Dana is making it way to easy to discredit him these days. I remember back in the day when I had to try during the Fedor signing and what not but now he is just teeing everything up.

This is one funny post from someone on mmajunkie about Karo return vs Superman:

"Is this on the same card as Paul Daley vs. Another Boxer Guy? "

:142smilie :142smilie :142smilie

I guess that I am not the only one he doesn't take Dana too serious.

For what it is worth I highly doubt Daley will be back. But I need to call Dana and yell at him for bring back Karo:mad:

I am sure we will see Kimbo,Chuck, and maybe even Ken Shamrock based on the simple fact that Dana has said they are done.

When Dana says that a fighter is done in the UFC, it means about as much as a wrestler losing a career match in the WWF. I think Rick Flair lost about 5 of those. :142smilie

ahaha

i remember dana white went off on karo after the last pullout

said he never fight in ufc again
:facepalm:

I think post #6 and #9 pretty much covered that, but good to see someone else pile on. :0074

If Dana keeps making these promises and pulling them back then maybe Kickserv will see the light.

I'm glad they're bringing back Karo. If he's right in the head then I think they made a smart decision. IMO he's very entertaining and a good fighter.
