He verbally trashed the UFC more than once since 2015. He was known for being very outspoken.
There was a VERY major trash talking incident I believe as early as last year where he called Dana White a bunch of names on the Ariel Helwani show. Like it was really bad. He really went nuts and the fact Ariel gives fighters a platform to go nuts like that is another reason he's banned from holding an anchor position on a network.
Maybe something went sideways with the contract, but I doubt that. More likely is (knowing Al and watching his tantrums over the years) is he felt "not enough respect" for stepping up to Khabib. He has said since 2015 that he wants a discreditionary bonus since he's not getting the fight bonuses for some reason, so he "expects" a lockerroom bonus. He has held that position for quite a while.
Is he wrong? Probably not all that wrong. UFC treats fighters like shit and the pay sucks. Al Laquinta's contract was laughable for being a top prospect. Losing him is a huge blow to the UFC.
99.9% positive its another Mitrione situation. Laquinta and Mitrione just wanted a 25k-50k check cut on top of his additional for the year. JewFC couldn't hack it. Losing exciting talent early over paltry sums. Just UFC things.

I think Mitrione said Lorenzo couldn't give Mitrione what he wanted cuz of the buyout, cuz his contract was up during that time.

I guess the UFC "backed out" on him.

Bellator 201 fight night weights: Nine fighters come in 10 percent or more above weight class
Don't care much about these fights, but CSAC found 9 fighters more than 10% over their weigh-in weight for fight-night. One dude was even above 15% over.
Best part:
Not sure it has teeth, because
Illinois has some weight rules on the books they clearly aren't following with UFC (notably title fighters must not be +10 pounds for fight night and if you watched UFC225 you know what I mean). Next UFC event in CA is 227 booked for August 4th and I don't see any red flags for who's on that card.
Will be interesting to see things develop with/from CSAC.

their recommendations are meaningless.

Tecia and Sijara are 115'ers from last season's TUF if I recall. The division only has like 10 women so it's not very deep and most have only fought once or maybe twice in UFC so they haven't begun to cut the losers yet.

I'm guessing Nunes just doesn't give a shit about a pride march, which is why they got her girlfriend to go instead.

Naw i think it's the continued WME disrespect Nunes gets cuz she's not the "correct" looking gay.
I mean 2 gays nunes and pennington just had a championship fight and no one gave a shit, so they ask their bitches to attend a parade.

Derrick Lewis 'Nervous' To Impress Ronda Rousey: 'She Might Be Watching'
"I already sent her flowers," Lewis joked about Rousey's Hall of Fame induction. "You're trying to distract me. I've got to fight extra hard, she might go to the fight. She might be watching. Now I'm nervous."
he also says been training more, was 30 mins a day, now 2-3 hours
walks around at 280, but hopes to be 250 for the fight

Man I hope Lewis wins that one.
Kimbo Slice biopic apparently has some guy from Black Panther cast as him.
Lastly, it's been a slow week for MMA. I really hope that Israel Adesanya worked on some of his flaws that were exposed in his last fight. He's fun to watch, but not so much when dude can't defend a takedown from an unranked opponent.
Remember that there are UFC fights on Friday and Saturday this week!
