” First of all, if youre going to do a win perk, you require to do something about the evaluating. You need to have a much better scoring system and you need to get rid of incompetence, and then, when you go to other states, you require to take control of the circumstance (and add responsibility). I do not want to call states, but there have been states where we do fights where Im simply going, What?

In the past couple of months, the issue of fighter pay in the UFC has actually turned into one of the most widespread talking points in MMA, with fighters like Jon Jones, Henry Cejudo, and Jorge Masvidal all speaking up versus the UFCs pay. While those fighters all take concerns with the general dollars and cents the UFC is using up, long time analyst Joe Rogan has a separate fighter pay concern: the win-bonus structure.

” I do not think it incentivizes those men,” Rogan informed Barnett. “At the top level? Have you ever not tried to not win? … I would at least like to see somebody occurred with an alternative take on how fighters are paid, and we have not actually seen that.”

Rogan has been a singing opponent of evaluating in MMA for many years and has, on a number of occasions, called for an enhancement to the existing system. Rogan thinks the fundamental idea behind the win-bonus system is flawed and hopes that some other company will come along with a better method to pay fighters.

Help. UFC will not provide Mike Perry a battle till re-evaluating his situation after seeking professional treatment.

The concept of the win-bonus system is that it incentivizes fighters to compete at their best however any such proof is anecdotal. In truth, Rogan argues, the system does the precise reverse of what the UFC is trying to do, by incentivizing fighters to take the safest strategy to guarantee victory, even at the expenditure of excitement.

What the Heck.

” Yep. And after that you have to start from scratch,” Rogan said. “Its crazy.

Rogan was having this discussion with previous UFC heavyweight champ Josh Barnett who added that fighters are already incentivized to win by virtue of the UFCs contract take advantage of and their ability to cut fighters at anytime, producing a system that prioritizes victory over excitement, to which Rogan agreed.

In the UFC, a vast majority of fighters have their bag split into a base pay and win perk, frequently of equal amount, indicating that in every bout, fighters are functionally betting half their wage on a win. Its a system that has come under scrutiny just recently and its one Rogan wants to see disappear.

” If you have win rewards and if a person comes in is getting 50 (thousand dollars), and if he wins he gets another 50 (thousand dollars), you took $50,000 from that guy by giving him incompetent evaluating,” Rogan stated. “If youre a fighter, youve got to do your best to win. If that implies take a guy down and bulge and throw enough punches to keep the referee from standing it up, thats $50,000 for you.”

” I think no win bonus. I want a fighter to know, youre gon na get X amount of dollars.

Some drunk naked person stumbled into our hotel room the night prior to weigh ins at our Big Ten Championship Duel match and climbed up in bed with Gray. We believed we would be good and leave the door open so our colleagues could inspect their weight. Big mistake!– Rashad Evans (@SugaRashadEvans) July 9, 2020
