Jose Aldo had to pull out of 250 cause America wouldn't give him a work visa during quarantine lol
UFC needs to stop. Just fucking take a 3 month break and reset.
Don't understand why they're so adamant about putting on these shows. Can't even be money, cause I doubt PPV sales are gonna be any good right now and they're losing out on million+ dollar ticket gates.
Ferg and Gaethje won't sell much anyway, they gotta dump a ton of money into a "special" venue, they won't have ticket sales, and could potentially ruin Ferg and Khabib which will sell. UFC shooting themselves in the foot.
Wonder if the dividend they gave has something to do with it:
Shortly after acquiring UFC, Endeavor invited nearly
two dozen celebrities to invest in the mixed martial arts brand. The list included bona fide stars across the sports and entertainment spectrum, including actor Mark Wahlberg, celebrity chef Guy Fieri, supermodel Gisele Bundchen and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
UFC rewarded the celebrity investors with a $300 million dividend earlier this year, according to the New York Post. White and Endeavor executives Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell each netted more than $3 million, while Wahlberg received about $500,000.
The dividend was the first of its kind since UFC was sold. The move prompted renewed scrutiny of UFC’s pay practices for fighters, who are employed as independent contractors.
