Yeah, just watched that guy get his arm bent backwards.. ow...

Speaking of sponsorship, I've been noticing this for a long time, but it seems like more just in the last year...
Fighters have been turned into total sponsorship whores.
There are more logos on these guys... on their clothes, magic-markered onto their bodies, shaved into their hair.
They look like fuckin' stock cars.

As much as the sport has grown, the lower fighters are making nowhere near as much as the top tier fighters. They've gotta pull in the money from other sources so that they can continue to fight full time. Aside from Koscheck and maybe Mike Swick, I'm betting most of the fighters on the card aren't pulling in more than 10K to show plus 5K to win. That's nice for a night's fight, but when you're only fighting two to three times a year, it's not really full time money.

Dova must have passed out. I sent him a text a while ago and haven't gotten a response.

PM'd, though I'm not quite the texting monster that some may be. And short of fart humor, MMA, and video games, I may not be a conversationalist.
