UFC is Coddling its Champs too much.




Fighters like Jose Aldo are coming out and saying that they deserve a bigger slice of the UFC pie.

Many people agree with that opinion.

I'm not one of them.

The UFC is coddling its top fighters too much. Giving them more money would only pervert the system greater than it already is.

Most UFC champions are not really interested in 'fighting' anymore.

It's far more lucrative to simply BE CHAMPION (at seminars and sponsor gigs) than to actually defend your belt and risk losing it, thereby ruining your brand with sponsors.

That's why once a person becomes champ they usually begin reducing their fighting frequency while simultaneously increasing their surgery frequency.

That's why so many UFC champs choose lengthy surgeries to recover from virtually all injuries these days.

Stubbed your toe? Surgery and rehab. Out 6-9 months.

Tendinitis from typing? Rehab. Out 6 months.

Got an 'ouchie' in your neck? Pull out of your title fight, ruin a major UFC event, then reschedule it for Brazil.

The only ballsy champ is Ronda Rousey. She'll fight anybody anytime, she's a true champ. The rest are pussies.

I repeat. UFC champs are mostly pussies. Surgeries forever. Rehab forever.

When that doesn't work, just 'delay' fights by saying that your opponent isn't worthy.

Rinse and repeat.

Oh, and endless sponsor gigs in the iterim.


That's probably why PPV and TV ratings are going lower as each year passes. Fans are getting tired of this shit.

The PROBLEM is that "being" champ is so lucrative to a person's brand that they have an incentive to fight as infrequently as possible, because if they lose the belt their brand will take a huge hit.

Why fight in the Coliseum -- risking death -- if you can just sit on the sidelines with a harem tending to your every need?

The UFC is coddling its champs too much, and by doing so, is turning them into bonafide pussies.

Why should the UFC reward this pussy behavior with more money?

And why should the UFC give the lion's share of its money to contenders and gatekeepers?

Nobody even pays to see these unknown fighters. If you're on a fight card and nobody gives a fuck then you deserve whatever crumbs they give you. It's just mathematics.

In Hollywood bit-part actors don't make bigtime money. Yet movies couldn't get done without these bit-part actors, right? Does that mean bit-part actors deserve huge money? Fuck no.

JoeZay is champ but he's not a PPV needle mover. He deserves whatever crumbs he's getting.

Chad Mendes will be putting him out of his misery this Saturday anyway.
