[@jimberry5318]

It's the fight game and they use a ladder structure if you lose you go down the ladder. If you win you go up its that simple they don't care about age. They will purposely give you a bad fight if you want to fight out of your contract and don't resign before your last fight......or if Dana don't like you.

It’s crazy that Cowboy was Tony’s last win back in 2019 when Cowboy was on a win streak himself. Now they’re both in the same situation, losing streaks and need a win. And they’re both fighting on the main card. It’ll be something special to see both win this weekend

Cowboy vs Lauzon would have made an excellent Ultimate Fighter series for the UFC. Both guys are full of personality and could provide wisdom beyond their teaching of MMA to a crop of young talent. Would have provided closure to fans before these legends decide to retire. Anyways, cannot wait for this fight.

Dana already said if Cowboy loses his next fight he's done. Also I'd think that if Shogun loses he's done as well. Hell, I'd almost go a step further and say it could be it for Tony if he loses too, but I won't because that makes me sad to think about.

Prime Lauzon and Nate fighting styles and physiques seem like tailor made for a fight of the year. Always thought they were on a collision course. It's the 155 version of Matt Brown vs Nick that also never happened because of mutual respect.

Lauzon & Nate were also on opposite teams on TUF 5, and had Joe beaten Manny Gamburyan in the semi final, he would have fought Nate in the finale. It is quite incredible they never fought considering they were both near the top of the food chain at 155 for so long, at the same time

Joe Lauzon has been in the UFC 16 years no pension 27k pay and 27k if he wins but he lost 3/4 so they were mostly 27 k for a 16 year vet.Some teams and have been a few over the years in the NHL LOSE money definitely not making the kind of money the UFC makes yet the lowest paid player with an NHL contract makes around 500k a year and definitely has a real nice pension if sticks around 16 years and is also well looked after.NHL players also get a 50% cut of the added revenue where as the UFC fighters get >>>nothing they sign that right over the the e scummy UFC brass.Then in case of Jon Fitch he was fired by Dana for trying to fight that equal rights he deserved. So yeah there is a lot of SCUM behind this UFC operation and none of the SHILLS are standing up for the fighters but instead i keep hearing the opposite well a shill is a shill i guess.
