Jon Jones will fight DC on April 23rd. Current plan is Madison Square Garden. Backup plan is Anaheim if they can't get the court or the legislature to OK MMA in NY. [Reply]

I'm sure he's qualified for PPV bonuses. The UFC is obviously opaque on what they pay their fighters in "locker room bonuses" and what the PPV points deal may be for headliners, but Conor has made at least a few million dollars.
But just a few, I don't think he's made 8 figures. (Ronda probably has) [Reply]
Free card tomorrow is nice, last 3 fights are all interesting. Its.... kinda shallow below that though, so unless you are a huge UFC fan, just turn it to FS1 at 10:30pm for the last 3 fights.
I'm a fan of Neil Magny and his philosophy of always being in shape and ready to take short notice fights, but this short notice fight he agreed to is against a beast. [Reply]

Yeah, but he prob has sponsorships, commercials etc [Reply]
Cool video up of Winkeljohn giving Ariel Helwani a tour of the new Jackson Wink gym in ABQ. (He has been Holly Holm's coach for years, Jon Jones and Cowboy also train here)
Those coaches and facilities are so much better than the crap Ronda has been relying on its ridiculous.
Well, it wasn't a robbery. I don't agree, but the 3rd round was close enough that I won't complain. It was clear all along the judges tonight were weird.
Magny is an awesome fighter, beat Gastelum on 2 weeks notice. [Reply]
