Dislocated thumb.

Leslie Smith could be a potential replacement, unless they just scrap it altogether.

Gina Carano?

[NunyaBidness]

Gina Carano?

Yep, rather than get huge hype on a comeback fight for Gina Carano they're going to shoehorn her into a TUF card on a weeks notice.

Could you be a bigger dumbass?

[Vaughany]

Haha

[Beelzebubzy]

Yep, rather than get huge hype on a comeback fight for Gina Carano they're going to shoehorn her into a TUF card on a weeks notice.

Its during the week her movie comes out. They can put ads on her breastesses.

Any card gina carano fights in will get huge hype.
could you be any more of a negative nunya? gotta let that shit go brah it does no good for ya-

[yisman]

It wouldn't make any sense for Carano to be in there, even if she does come back.

Well I'm pretty sure that Nunya is positive about your Carano comment being asinine. And I would have to agree with him. You're just digging yourself deeper trying to defend the idea of Carano taking a short notice fight on a TUF card.

[marzwoody]

Ha i don't really care dude. this is an internet forum, nothing i say is written in stone. if u think Carano wouldn't fight short notice on a TUF card then i would agree with you. but i don't think its unreasonable that, it could happen. Shes supposedly been training and met up with dana white. then again i don't ponder these things like it has any effect on my life.

[Vaughany]

More chance of Jason Reinhardt stepping in to replace Nunes

[marzwoody]

I would like to see it happen / doesn't mean it will happen / who the penetrate cares? if it Did happen you gamblers could just adjust accordingly. No need to jump on my ass from a two word comment i left, Lol the almighty marzwoody has disgraced us with misinformation! attack!

[Vaughany]

I thought it was valuable input personally

[marzwoody]

Would be awesome if it did happen. The UFC bores me right now- if she signed a contract got asked and accepted that fight, would be a lot less crazier then her going into a title fight. promotion? shit people still gonna be interested in anyone she fights shes a 10 who can kick ass.

[Ron_Paul_2012]

Just trying to keep it real bro. Ya know, 100. No need to get your panties in a bunch. Friends don't let friends go "full retard".

[Thor4140]

These fukers running the UFC are either the greediest dickbags on the planet or are dodging threats to Rousey and keeping that cash cow going. I mean what the fuk. The best female boxer in the world and they offer this garbage contract? No wonder she told them to take a hike. I bet they are offering Carano the same contract she had before she left. Cheap fuks.

Promoter: Holm initially offered $15K/$15K by

F-cking outrageous! What a slap in the face! I'm really starting to hate the UFC brass. They seem to be in their own little world. It's as if they have no idea how they are starting to be perceived by the fans. Hubris before the fall!

“I’m ready to fight but not for some funny money that they’re trying to give me. They can let me go or they can let me fight, but let me do something. They know I need to make some money. I feel like they’re just trying to keep me on the waiting list. I don’t even want to communicate through anybody. If they want to figure out what’s going on, we should talk. No one is contacting me. I’m just doing my thing. Training every day. I’m ready to fight tomorrow.
“They need to be about more money. My contract is all f*cked up. I want to be paid like these other fighters. I’m over here getting chump change. At this point, they’re paying all my partners and other people I train with are getting real money, and it’s too embarrassing for me to even fight again for the money they’re paying me. So they can either pay me or let me go. I’m with that.
“I train harder than everybody in the UFC. And then there’s boxers out there getting multimillion dollar contracts, and I’m a bigger draw than boxers. It’s embarrassing. I think I’m the biggest draw in the lightweight division. I feel like they’re trying to weed me out of the top 10. I saw that I went from no. 5 to 6 in the rankings, for some reason. That doesn’t make any sense.
“I don’t get paid sh*t, and I’m about to tell the world. I didn’t like what my brother and my partners got paid. Now that they got a better contract, which still ain’t sh*t, it blows what I get out of the water. And they deserve triple what they get. I’ve been in the UFC for eight years and never turned down a fight. It’s not like I’m getting paid 20 bucks an hour and they’re getting 50 bucks an hour. I’m getting 20 bucks an hour and they’re getting paid 15,000 bucks an hour. They blow me out the water. At this point, I can’t even go to lunch with my partners because if we start talking about contracts or our business, I don’t have anything but bitter sh*t to say. We’re entertaining entertainers. We get Shaq, Justin Bieber and Lil’ Jon at the show. How are we entertaining billionaires and we can’t even get sh*t?
“My partners still make sh*t money for what the company is bringing in. They’re happy because they’re not getting paid what they used to get paid, so they get little chunks to shut up. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t get paid sh*t. I get $60,000 (to show) and $60,000 (to win). If I were doing this for the fame, I would have quit seven years ago. I can’t tell you what my brother and Gil make, but I can tell you that they signed a contract for more than I get paid to headline and win a fight, and that’s bullsh*t. So you understand where I’m coming from? I can’t even fight for the money they’re offering me. So I ask to get released because I can’t fight there for that.
“I don’t talk to the UFC. No one calls me. I’m not going to call them begging. They know I’m on call, I take every fight. They know what they should be giving out.
“When I signed my last contract, they conned me into signing an eight-fight contract to fight [Benson] Henderson. I was negotiating my contract three weeks out from the fight. [My manager] Mike [Kogan] came in and got me a little bit of a raise — a little — they act like they hooked me up. They didn’t do sh*t. They gave me a little something to shut me up for a minute. [They] got me to sign the contract, but the way they got me to sign the contract was like, Just trust me, sign the contract, and we can renegotiate anytime. I was like, I’ll just fight a couple of fights and then talk some sh*t because I don’t like this contract. So I’ll renegotiate in a couple of fights because they told me I could do that. Then they called me to take the Khabib [Nurmagomedov] fight when it wasn’t working out for them and Gil [Melendez]. They were trying to lowball Gil, too, and he was supposed to fight Khabib, but he said he couldn’t take the fight for the money they were offering. So they call me the next day and ask me to fight Khabib. I said, I’ll take the fight as long as I can renegotiate my contract. And then it was all downhill from there. Then they tweeted out that I turned down the fight, and I never turned down the fight. They tried to do me dirty.
“If I can get released, I can go fight somewhere and make some money. If they can renegotiate, I can make some money, because right now I’m broke. For some reason, the IRS is telling me that I owe them more money than I have right now, and I pay my taxes every year.
“At this point, they’re having a fat-ass party with others getting paid and they’re letting me see it. Before, I had no argument because I didn’t really know. But now they’re letting me see the party and letting me in. So now that I know for sure, I’m going to talk. If everybody would start speaking up and quit keeping their mouths shut, people would start getting paid. We’re working for a billion-dollar company. It’s ridiculous. I go to boxing events where they pay the fighters so much money and those boxing events aren’t even half the shows that the UFC is.
“The crazy thing to me is that in what other professional sport do the cheerleaders make more than the athletes? I’m sure Arianny Celeste, Brittney Palmer, Joe Rogan, Bruce Buffer, probably you, everybody makes more money than I do. So I’m trying to make a move here. The way that the UFC makes me look, too, makes people I know believe that I’m some type of millionaire. I got a family to feed. I got my mom. She just got a brand new house and working two jobs still. I’m trying to break her off some money when I can but I’m going as broke as her.
“There’s a lot more money that needs to be dished out because it’s coming in, and I know it.”

^ He beat me straaaaight up, check check check all night long.. LOL... Love that movie...

I can't stand the Diaz brothers.. In fact I can't wait for one of them to get knocked out cold in the cage.. I must say though, both of these guys come to fight when their number is called.. You won't see either one scared or running in a fight..

For that I think the UFC should keep them on.. Not sure about this pay raise thing though... They don't win enough to deserve special treatment in the UFC... They have good stand up, good chins, good Jits but neither can wrestle worth a lick to keep a fight standing. They will always get exposed and taken down in big fights.. Nick is better then Nate too..
