In the latest “WTF” moment our fair sport has breathed life into, we bore witness to Utah’s athletic commission entering into a non-disclosure agreement with most of the fighters from UFC 291. What is it that isn’t being exposed? Purse amounts. For those paying attention, transparency is the necessary component to determine fair market value. If they don’t know what fellow fighters are making, how can they negotiate fair purses?
We also look into the grimy matchmaking that put Robert Helenius on a path of destruction versus Anthony Joshua this coming Saturday, as well as ESPN’s new sports book that will be unveiled this fall. And finally, we talked about Dana White leaving the arena early last Saturday night during the Sandhagen-Font fight which was a snoozer.
We did break down some fights from this weekend’s upcoming UFC Vegas 78 and Bellator 298. Here’s a look at the fights we chose:
Vicente Luque vs. Rafael dos Anjos 170 lbs
Cub Swanson vs. Hakeem Dawodu 145 lbs
Khalil Rountree vs. Chris Daukaus 205 lbs
Polyana Viana vs. Iasmin Lucindo 115 lbs
Logan Storley vs. Brennan Ward 170 lbs
