🚨FIGHT NEWS🚨 Benardo Sopaj vs Timmy Cuamba For May 16th #UFCVegas117 📰: @FrontkickOnline IG

BREAKING 🚨 Bernardo Sopaj 🇦🇱 vs. Timmy Cuamba 🇺🇸 set for UFC’s Fight Night event on May 16 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas, sources told Frontkick.

Sources: @Mark_Vologdin to make his UFC debut against John Castañeda at a UFC Fight Night event on April 18. 135 lbs. Location TBD. Vologdin earned a UFC contract and a 25K bonus despite losing an absolute barn-burner on DWCS by UD. Fellow DWCS alum Castañeda is 4-4 in the UFC.

How this would work is supposedly that a fighter will be signed to a multifight deal with ONE where that specific contract stipulates a certain pay structure, but later having to sign bout agreements for significantly less money in order to actually get booked for fights. (2/2)

Several ONE Championship fighters are now taking MASSIVE pay cuts, according to sources who spoke anonymously due to fear of repercussions. Allegedly, the promotion is basically making athletes choose between accepting far lower fight purses or getting “put on the shelf”. (1/2)

Smilla Sundell announces move to MMA. “The Hurricane” became the youngest-ever title holder in ONE Championship as she captured the Muay Thai world championship at age 17. Now 20 y/o, she’s hoping to make her MMA debut before the end of the year after having trained for a year.
