Let me get this straight, number 5 ranked Kyoji Horiguchi vs number 2 ranked Manel Kape, a high level title elimination fight, a rematch from the Rizin days, is gonna be in an empty warehouse as opposed to headlining a card with a full arena in Japan 😭😭😭

@DanaIsGoated Manager fee, coach fees, training partners fees, gym fees, camp expenses, taxes, medical/licensing, travel for team, nutritionist for weight cut. Once you pay all these out of your first fight check, it hits hard.

@CoreyA_MMA Do you know this when you sign contracts? Or only cry after you get your pay? Do your managers tell you this? Or are they robbing you too?

FAKE NEWS! Majority of fighters after the fight (especially if you lose) take home 25-35% of what they actually make on fight night when its all said and done. You do the math! #mma #ufc #fyp #fakenews #fightbusiness

@JoestarJokic They should put this in an episode of Law and Order with Alan playing himself.

I started reacher like three days ago it’s mostly scenarios like this and it’s incredible

@arielhelwani Awesome that KSW gave him a release for this fight. UFC should hire the guy that put this match together if they actually cared anymore.

“This is a hardcore fan’s dream. If you don’t know who Salahdine Parnasse is… as an 18-year-old, he signed with KSW, one of the greatest institutions in European promotions. They called him the Kylian Mbappé of MMA. In KSW, he won the featherweight title and the lightweight title, and he attempted to win the welterweight title. This guy continues to go after things… an absolute coup to get this man on the card.” @PetesyCarroll on @SalahdineP's involvement in @MostVpromotions MMA card on Netflix.

@fhillypino21 @dynasty_defined Is there precedent in the NIL era for taking a non Olympic redshirt after winning a championship? They probably want to take a redshirt at some point to extend their NIL earnings.

@dynasty_defined Yep for all we know all 3 champs can take a RS

Something that's kind of crazy to think about... It's really difficult to predict OSU's lineup next season. There are safe bets, for sure, but there are guys coming in that will challenge for spots and DT has been very clear about always wrestling the best guy.

@VerdeVeloz @MMAdamMartin They don’t care about fans or gate anymore. Those seem irrelevant to maximizing profit.

@MMAdamMartin Why is in the APEX The UFC are genuinely allergic to good decisions in 2026

Wow! Huge fight. Winner has to get the next title shot at 125

@mma_orbit He couldn’t make the 266lb HW limit by May 16 so he had to decline.

🚨| Jorge Masvidal has revealed he turned down an offer from MVP to be on the Netflix card on May 16, as he’s currently working on a UFC return. 😳 The comeback fight will be at welterweight, with 3 potential opponents on the table. 👀 🎥 @deathrow_mma

@itsdafanta Queue angry UFC fighters. The underpaying of fighters did not unite them. It will be the overpaying of mid boxers that will finally unite UFC fighters.

Edgar Berlanga is reportedly signing a one year deal worth over 8 figures ($10 million+) with Zuffa boxing. Multiple Zuffa signees are to be announced over the next two weeks

@MacFarlaneNews @meiselasb Like Kash is winging it, like Duffy is winging it, like Linda McMahon is winging it, like RFK is winging it, etc.

Sen Thom Tillis (R-NC) says he doesn’t expect Markwayne Mullin to “repeat the mistakes” of Kristi Noem. And he says Noem was too often “winging it”

@ImMeme0 Simple 311 call instead of taking it into your own hands would suffice.

🚨BREAKING: Side-by-side footage obtained by TMZ, along with Alan Ritchson’s own video, shows the moments leading up to his altercation with neighbor Ronnie Taylor. In the footage, Taylor stops Ritchson to address concerns about reckless driving through the neighborhood with his sons. When Ritchson then revs his bike toward Taylor, the situation escalates, and Taylor can be seen pushing him. The two exchange words, after which the actor proceeds to assault Taylor while Ritchson’s sons watch just feet away. After the altercation, the actor and his sons drive away. The footage also shows that neither Ritchson’s bike nor his sons’ bikes had license plates. According to reports, his sons are underage to obtain motorcycle licenses. Not only were they not supposed to ride these bikes according to the law, but they were also speeding through a residential neighborhood.

@AOUREDOO The weight cut should be slightly easier for Moraes since it’s conventional weight cutting - no hydration testing.

If Mokaev runs through Moraes, it does wonder for his legacy seeing as how DJ had two fights vs Moraes

@Martin_Ellinger @bschneider33 It was reported that his UNC NIL deal was over a million dollars before it fell through. So easily a few hundred thousand dollars a year.

@mmapropsguy @bschneider33 What do you think he's earning in NIL?

Nebraska wrestler AJ Ferrari just posted this on Instagram... "Next season, I look forward to coming back stronger and giving everything I have. I will continue to grow, learn, and improve in every way, and I trust that if it is Yahuah’s will, the results will come. I tore my knee partially in the round of 16 and even more completely in the quarterfinals, but I chose to keep fighting." NU must apply for a waiver to get another year of eligibility for Ferrari.

@HodoPrime Celsius lost almost a billion in market cap so if they are making Kirkland, some e-suite is probably getting fired.

@HodoPrime People say it tastes like Celsius so maybe. Celsius stock is down 7.45% today because of Kirkland so maybe not?

A 24 pack for $17, or 70c a can for Costcos Kirkland Energy Dinks (200mg of caffeine) Most energy drinks are like $2 a can. If costco can gets the taste correct they will win huge market share here.

@Martin_Ellinger @bschneider33 More lucrative to stretch out his eligibility for NIL money. UFC pays peanuts starting out.

@bschneider33 Just start MMA training already Jesus

@lowstakesdre Someday, but you’d be nostakesdre if you had kids. Probably also nosteaksdre.

Sometimes I wonder if my biggest regret in life will be that I never had kids.

@St4rkiller04 If he gets a 100k check, he needs to set aside at least 30k for taxes.

Financially unstable Mason Jones might be an unstoppable force ✌️😭

@HopsLaw @ThinkAppraiser There may be ethical issues with lawyers receiving a fee for referring it to a third party who finance company. They probably get around this by the third party compensating the lawyer for work like they do for title insurance.

@ThinkAppraiser Litigation finance is big business. It would be unethical for their attorneys to make the loans. I doubt that’s the situation.

Was talking to the sellers of this house and they mentioned that the wife is going to come into approximately $4 million from a huge settlement They also mentioned that some attorneys that they’ve been dealing with have already offered them money upfront in the form of loans before the payout comes It sounds like this family is already over $100,000 in debt to some attorneys before they get their payout I’m wondering how common that behavior is because it sounds highly unethical

@girdley Thanks Michael. I’m not sure why they don’t try the Domino’s approach of our pizza is bad but we’re making it better. It eorked for Domino’s about 15 years ago.

NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: The rise and fall of Papa John's In 2017, John Schnatter was worth over $1 billion. He transformed Papa John’s from a broom closet into a company with more than 5,000 locations worldwide. It became the third largest pizza chain in America, and he was a prominent sponsor across NFL broadcasts. He famously put his face on every pizza box the company delivered. Then one day, on an earnings call with investors, he opened his mouth and said a few sentences that would cost him half a billion dollars and send the company into a tailspin. By the time it was over, the company began acting as if he had never existed. They scrubbed his name and face from advertisements and pizza boxes, and they even created a poison pill to prevent him from ever returning to control of the company. Today, Papa John’s is still operating, with over 6,000 locations in 50 countries, but the stock remains down 77% from its peak. And it turns out the problems that hit Papa John’s were not just because of what he said publicly. The real trouble had started long before that. This video is the rise and fall of Papa John’s.

@CheezieMcfresh1 CA releases fighter purses (guaranteed money) so we should know after the event.

Netflix card still a little too prehistoric for me but all in all it's a pretty entertaining card. Good for the sport. Hopefully we find out how much guys are being paid for this event.....
