While some fighters have approved of how much money they would get from the deal, the majority of fighters took to Twitter and complained how they would actually be LOSING money. The timing of the meeting comes just two weeks after the payout of the Reebok/UFC deal was announced. The response was very positive and a few managers that were not on the original invitation have asked to attend as well. An invitation was sent out to about a dozen managers. Since quite a few managers will be in Las Vegas over Memorial Day, we decided to put something together.
It was suggested that we should all get together some time. “This came about through a couple of unrelated phone calls between a few managers. Mike Robers and Jeff Meyer of MMA Inc., who manage stars like Urijah Faber, Anthony Pettis and Paige VanZant, told MMAFighting how the meeting came about. Some of the top managers from the world of mixed martial arts will be meeting in Las Vegas next week to discuss several business topics, including the fallout from the Reebok/UFC deal. Who would you like to see Nurmagomedov fight upon his octagon return? Next time, I think I train a little bit more smart.” “MMA every day is a high level, you need to be training hard, to push yourself. “If you want to win, you need to go crazy,” Nurmagomedov explained. This backs up his training camp’s training style at American Kickboxing Academy, a camp that Dana White accused of being in the “stone age”. Nurmagomedov is confident that if you want to be successful in the world of mixed martial arts, you have to train as hard as you want to win. This is not good news for me, not good news for fans. “I understand fans are a little bit upset, I’m upset too. “Fans sometimes talk crazy, but it’s OK,” Nurmagomedov told “ MMA Hour“. Nurmagomedov hasn’t fought since April 2014 and he is itching for an octagon return. Khabib Nurmagomedov was as upset as anybody else when he learned he was being forced to pull out of his bout with Donald Cerrone at UFC 187. However, you can leave it to somebody like Paige VanZant to make a path of her own. She is somehow able to manage a career in the octagon along with a career in Hollywood. There are several fighters walking into the octagon who need a role model to look up to and Ronda Rousey is a great one. I’d say more people have gone Jon Jones’ route than the Ronda Rousey route.” White continued, “You either have the people that go the route of a Ronda Rousey or the people that have gone Jon Jones’. “I said a long time ago: Whenever somebody wins the belt at such a young age and the money and the fame that goes along with it, it’s going to be a tough ride,” White explained to Michael Landsberg of TSN’s “Off the Record”. UFC President Dana White admires that and hopes that future fighters learn from Jones mistakes and follow Rousey’s path. “With great power comes great responsibility.” Both Jon Jones and Ronda Rousey became champions at a young age, but Rousey has been able to juggle the responsibilities that come with the role better than “Bones”.

It’s what has to be done just to legitimize the sport even more.”īy: Ryan C. “Regardless of what people feel and how much they’re losing now, they need to look at–it’s the right thing moving forward, for the future of the sport it’s the right thing. “It sucks right now, but I think moving forward it’s the right thing to do.” Changes are going to be made and some people are going to suffer before everything can be as good as it can be.” I just think in general, the sports still evolving and there’s always going to be, like in any sport, changes. Like some guys were making more money and now they’re making less. “Well I understand the reason a lot of fighters are mad,” said Benavidez, “because a lot of them are losing money. Just recently a top prospect signed with Bellator over the UFC and sighted sponsorships freedom as one of the reasons.īenavidez didn’t bash the deal but did say it’s easy to see why so many fighters feel negatively about it. Fighters have been pretty vocal about the amount of money they are losing because of it. It seems a new opinion makes the news every day when it comes to the Reebok deal with the UFC. UFC flyweight and Team Alpha Male fighter Joseph Benavidez goes against the norm and praises the new UFC/Reebok deal.īenavidez helped co-host Tuesday nights episode of Stud Show Radio and gave his thoughts on one of the big topics currently in MMA.
