I also dont see DP tapping out. So he could lose a boring decision, but besides that outcome there is only the possibility for Dustin to win by decision himself, unless he gets lucky and catches Khabib in something clip clips him.
khabib hasn't tko'd anyone in the UFC thats top 10, hell khabib hasn't faced anyone in the top 10 beside barbosa and mj, and they weren't top 5.

he's also only submitted mj, cuz mj was too tough and he had to submit conor b/c he was getting too tired and you all know how easily conor gives up in a choke.

khabib has weight issues/ tiramasu, he's gonna come in looking like shit, especially since he's in goat fucker land.

Accents are typically representative of the region you grow up in, unless you are retarded like Madonna, Gwynneth Paltro, Lindsay Lohan, or Mackenzie Dern.

nothing really to read, but related to above

“I make way more money sitting at home, posting pictures on Instagram, than I do fighting,” VanZant told Ariel Helwani. “When I did my contract negotiation the last time, the talk was, “I can’t pay you more than a female champion.’ Okay, but why are comparing me to just women? All of us should be getting paid more in general.”

I bet there aren't many (or any) dude fighter that are making the kind of money Paige is on IG. Maybe they should scream inequality and demand to get paid more?

Paige needs to thank the UFC for propping her up for no reason other than she is pretty. She can move on to full time modeling, something she is actually good at.

found a couple of lists of top mma on instagram

Conor 31 mil
khabib 15.9mil
JJones 4.3mil
Anderson Silva 3.4mil
Nate Diaz 3.3mil
Aldo 2.4mil
GSP 2.3mil
DC 2.2mil
Paige 2.2mil
Cody 2.1mil
Holly 1.9mil
Cerrone 1.5mil
Dillisaw 1.3mil

Arianny Celeste 3.2mil
Brittney Palmer 1.1mil

in the 1-2mil follower range, probably looking at around $5k per ad deal. seen claims of $25k-50k for ones over 10million followers
wonder if conor is paying himself to post for proper 12

have a feeling Arianny is make the most besides Conor/Khabib :)

really looks pathetic, instead of getting a new belt, they replace a cool looking diamond w/ a fucking ruby

Been watching Porier fights again, and his striking is just fucking savage. Khabib HAS to take him down or put him on the cage because he will get tagged otherwise.

Dustin also is one of the best body punchers in the UFC. He broke down Geathje while getting his legs chopped out from under him, and did it pretty convincingly. He resume blows Khabibs out of the water.

Paige needs to thank the UFC for propping her up for no reason other than she is pretty. She can move on to full time modeling, something she is actually good at.

Up to this point in her career, she's needed the UFC more than they needed her. She wouldn't be nearly as popular (or rich) being a pretty face in Bellator.

I'm sure someone at the UFC will look at her value to the company. It's almost assuredly less than she suspects it is. She gets a lot of clicks, but UFC is in the fight business and does her social media hawking translate into people buying PPV?

She won't want to hear it, but she's likely better off being a spokeswoman for UFC at this point. Career wise she doesn't gain anything by being punched in the face anymore; PVZ outgrew her value she brings to the Octagon and she shouldn't apologize for her success but that doesn't mean the UFC should pay her for her time regardless of the value she brings to the organization.

dude it's an artifact with slots. i like the ruby thing, each defence paid for in blood.

what's its worth is more subjective. if its a solid thing of real gold and decent diamonds / excellent natural rubies, (and the fighter gets the diamond back), then it is a nice prize some nerd will pay millions for in the far future when beef supreme is owning the arena. if you want to make something like that "pure", then you have to act like it is.
