Israel Adesanya vs. Robert Whittaker 2: How Bobby Knuckles finds redemption

MMA fighters are better at boxing than MMA fighters. Boxing is a different sport and the payouts reflect that. It's realistic for a promoter like the UFC to give fighters a bigger share of the revenue and still make huge profits. The revenue split is currently no higher than 80/20 in favor of UFC. If it were 60/40 it would still be below where it is in most other major sports, but the company would be making tons of money. Chad M. is wondering if MMA will ever be paid like boxers. He thinks it's a realistic solution. If there is no solution, it will be a long, drawn-out battle.

Jake Paul is the most exciting fight of the three. Matei is most excited about Weili Zhang vs. Thug Rose. Stefan is surprised that Andrei Arlovski and Jessica Penne are still going strong in their careers. Shaun is happy that they are not going away quietly.

Dana White is selective about the media he chooses to talk to. Luke M. worked for outlets with ongoing advertising deals with the UFC and sometimes editors suggested he might like the site better if he didn't work there anymore. John D. thinks the groin shot that ended Alexander Romanov and Juan Espino's fight was correct. John thinks it was an unintentional foul. Alexander couldn't continue. The fight went to the scorecards. It's not the first time that happened. Israel Adesanya vs. Robert Whittaker 2 is going to be a great fight.

Henry Cejudo is not fighting lately. The worst scheduled mismatch in the UFC is when the company brought in Sean Gannon and overmatched him against Brandon Lee Hinkle. Randy Couture vs. James Toney was the worst one. Royce Gracie vs Matt Hughes was a name value cannibalism. CM Punk's UFC debut against Mickey Gall was also a major mismatch. Israel Adesanya vs Robert Whittaker 2 is the next fight.
