TAYNE Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just in case you thought DJ was being honest when he said he was concerned about TJ making weight - his preferred opponent, Ray Borg, has missed weight twice at 125 in recent fights. http://mmajunkie.com/2016/12/ufc-207-results-despite-missing-weight-ray-borg-takes-dominant-decision-over-louis-smolka http://www.mmaweekly.com/johny-hendricks-and-ray-borg-miss-weight-for-ufc-207 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAYNE Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 A backpacker is traveling through Ireland when it starts to rain. He decides to wait out the storm in a nearby pub. The only other person at the bar is an older man staring at his drink. After a few moments of silence the man turns to the backpacker and says in a thick Irish accent: "You see this bar? I built this bar with my own bare hands. I cut down every tree and made the lumber myself. I toiled away through the wind and cold, but do they call me McGreggor the bar builder? No." He continued "Do you see that stone wall out there? I built that wall with my own bare hands. I found every stone and placed them just right through the rain and the mud, but do they call me McGreggor the wall builder? No." "Do ya see that pier out there on the lake? I built that pier with my own bare hands, driving each piling deep into ground so that it would last a lifetime. Do they call me McGreggor the pier builder? No." "But ya fuck one goat.." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHL Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 He's also made 125 11 times more then TJ. Well both times Borg missed weight were recent, so maybe he put on walking weight. I really think there shouldn't be a concern about TJ making weight, dude wakes up at 143, only a few pounds more than DJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concern wasn't so much as TJ making weight, as the UFC unwilling to pay DJ if he doesn't. Because if TJ don't make weight, then title fight is off, and defeats purpose for DJ's next fight. But they won't pay him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambo Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Didn't they discuss Borg being a backup on the card? UFC is run by cbombs, Dana White at the helm. Imho they tried to bully DJ into what was best for them without giving him proper financial treatment. At this point I'm honestly surprised Dana hasn't been sacked. They could probably pay somebody half the money to do a better job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambo Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Im definetly getting the feeling that Dana is just around to entertain at this point I think the opposite. I think he's just watching his pockets get fat. Pretty sure this guy has over 500 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure this guy has over 500 million.[/quote I meant in terms of why he's still with the company. He stays to make money, they keep him to entertain the crowd.

TAYNE Posted September 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Dana is for sure a top shelf c bomb. He's also the only person in the entire world with experience running a successful mma league of this scale. Isn't that weird to think about?
