Gina Carano speaks on UFC offering her the fight, and Dana White's down on hands and knees apology

They see Gane, Gaethje, Covington with 4-5 titleshots each. 15 titleshots combined in just 3 fighters. That's without getting into all the guys with 2-3 titleshots or bottom 10 with a titleshot.

It's not like the old days where you actually need to be the real number one contender. If you are a top 10 that's good enough. Maybe that's a good thing for the sport, but the matchmaking hasn't been great. I think they could do a lot more with it.

o'malley talks a lot of bs, but every now and then says something interesting. while back he was talking about how rankings don't matter, it is all about, how much they are paying you and your popularity. they are just trying to maximize their investment now and it shows with all the weak cards they are putting out.

ufc is already screwing over fighters, read a comment that during the peak ppv years, fighters got something like 17-20% of the grosses and now estimates say it could be in the 13-15% range. would bet their goal is to get it down to 10% during the paramount years.

with trump's support, ufc doesn't have any fear of an ali like act passing for mma and they are actively trying to weaken it and screw over boxers now.
