Bisping is no worse than the rest of them - the commentary for UFC is generally pretty bad these days.

Not asking him to stand and trade with Masvidal. Am asking him to try and advance his position from stalling him against the cage. If you're such an elite wrestler, get him on the ground and GnP him. Instead we were treated to 25 minutes of shoulder shrugs and foot stomps. Like I said, it is...

I expected him to try for a finish at some point.

I usually love your takes, but for some reason you're in full troll mode on this. Nobody is 'mad', they were just bored. Usman dominated against the fence, but never tried / couldn't (to) get a finish. He used his superior wrestling to avoid a fight. At the end of the day, the only thing that...

Fans absolutely want to see domination. Look at what a pure wrestler like Khabib does to people - it's terrifying and fans pay to see it (even if some complain about it because it's not a kick boxing match). Usman used his wrestling to avoid a fight there - that's why people are complaining.

Right, he used his wrestling to avoid a fight. That's the complaint fans have. Still goes down as a W and he gets his win money - but very few were entertained. It is what it is.

It's MMA, but Usman only showed his wrestling.

Nah, the rest of the main card was fire.

Agreed. Can't complain about fighter pay if you're Usman. Nobody wants to watch you fight.

Yeah, he didn't come to fight - but we all expected that. Game plan was just to grind Masvidal up against the fence. Especially when he realised he couldn't take Masvidal down easily. Boring point fighting, but effective. No damage done to Masvidal, outside of two illegal headbutts. It is...

No, but three very good fighters and he's stopped all three.

The UFC has a business model that has worked - and yes, it does squeeze the lower card fighters (but so does boxing). The only way fighters are going to get paid more is if they ALL go on strike, or if they see out their UFC contracts and go fight for other promotions. Unfortunately, those...

I think it's all relative (the top guys are earning millions per PPV) and they're certainly not getting their worth based upon the eyes they bring to the sport. Jones and Cejudo are complaining because they've seen the boxing numbers - and good luck to them in their quest to earn that kind of...

We don't know what they get from the PPV buys though. As far as I'm aware, the UFC doesn't release those figures - and each fighter has different PPV points. Woodley was committing daylight robbery banking $200k for his last fight.

So I'd be surprised if he could make weight at such short notice - but either way, if this is true, Masvidal got broken off. He's been complaining about fighter pay recently and he has a little momentum behind him with his recent wins. No way he takes this fight for his usual fee (whatever that...
