    Yeah I think Mickey Bey also walked away from them. Am sure Haymon (Allowed/couldn’t care less about them) wasn’t crying at night with those names . Just like those no-names that walk away from UFC/White (Allowed/couldn’t care less about them).

      Haven’t you heard? He won some “The rock” smell what he isn’t cooking!!! Belt with the imprint BMF on it... So it’s certified.

        Ben was retired from MMA & had been somewhat lackluster during his UFC career but still had fights with the UFC on his contract. Ben claimed he asked the UFC if he could fight vs Jake & they gave him the thumbs up. Ben said they didn't ask for a cut or fee or anything.

        That said I think a active fighter who's doing well in the UFC or completely killing it is another story if that type of guy tried to flip over to another sport.

            As BigPoppaPump explained I didn’t know it was contextualizing Masvidal vs Usman 2 April 24th. I don’t follow UFC like that... it thought everything was exclusively talking about DLH and I was like “this last fight and UFC?” I agree and understand the Askren thing. Didn’t know he was retired I just figured he was a C level fighter given a random date for whatever in UFC. I don’t really follow that sport

              Common casuals have no idea who Masvidal is.

              That fight doesn't draw. Not on its own.

              You'd need Jake Paul at the main event against someone who can sell casuals. Like McGregor. Or Briggs.

                Casuals know who Masvidal is, never forget he had the face of boxing Canelo wait ti’ll his fight was over before the Kovalev fight could even begin. Also, his first fight with Usman did 1.3 mil PPV buys, you mean to tell me that Oscar long awaited comeback wouldn’t at least break 1 mil PPV, C’mon
