Bjorn has a big mouth for a guy with his history.

Yeah but.........it's Bjorn. Those words ring pretty hollow when coming out of his mouth.

So apparently Stipe hasn't been fighting because Overeem got paid more than him for a fight in Stipe's hometown where he was the only reason it sold out. He wants his contract fixed.

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #153 on:** January 16, 2017, 11:18:54 PM »

Who knows, he might actually get what he wants here. Gotta believe that with Ronda looking at retirement and Conor out until fuck knows when that they'll have to start paying up to guys who have a name. Not that Stipe is on their level but as far as HW's go he's up there.

Misha Cirkunov, Lorenz Larkin, and Rick Story are all no longer under contract and were removed from the UFC's rankings. The new owners are clueless and are going to destroy this whole thing.

Story is pretty much and has been at gatekeeper status for a while now, he'd be a solid pickup for Bellator but they can live without him and if he was on an old contract he was likely making decent bank. UFC can live without him.

Letting Misha and Larkin go on the other hand is just crazy.

ViciousFish · « **Reply #157 on:** February 02, 2017, 01:45:22 AM »

Apparently they were all offered new contracts and turned them down.

Can't wait to see Ryan Bader fighting for a Bellator Title in 2019.

The Art of Rasslin' · « **Reply #159 on:** February 02, 2017, 01:59:33 AM »

Larkin is gonna leave.

Firmino of the 909 · « **Reply #160 on:** February 10, 2017, 11:30:57 AM »

Apparently Cirkunov's negotiations went to shit and he's probably going elsewhere.

What a joke. Everyone figured out what they're worth and the UFC won't dip into their enormous profit margin in order to pay people. Struggling to think of a good Canadian fighter in the UFC now, which helps destroy their business there.

Lord of The Curry · « **Reply #161 on:** February 10, 2017, 11:54:39 AM »

Just get rid of 205. Jones, DC, Rumble and Gus can all fight there.

Firmino of the 909 · « **Reply #162 on:** February 17, 2017, 09:56:17 AM »

They just released Nikita Krylov too. What are these people doing?

Firmino of the 909 · « **Reply #163 on:** March 01, 2017, 04:37:59 AM »

Cirkunov is back. Thought that would happen.

Rory is not getting the sponsorship money that he got in the UFC. I hope his base pay is good.

It says that he is choosing to take a cut in sponsorship money to establish a relationship with bigger companies. He could have made more if he wanted.

Firmino of the 909 · « **Reply #167 on:** May 16, 2017, 06:32:56 AM »

I have my doubts that bigger companies will come to him.

Overall, there might be a general disconnect between the UFC and its athletes when it comes to financial matters. According to Mousasi, this was apparent during the UFC Athlete Retreat in Las Vegas last weekend.

Carlos Condit said on a recent podcast that he's coming back to fighting because he has no backup plan.
