UFC on Fuel 3, May 15th

[Luke]

Well, the obsession for MMA just sort of left me. I don't get too excited for many fights, and I haven't been watching any undercards or anything. I am still betting just because I want the money, but I have lost some interest in the sport. I am not paying attention like I used to. I watched the event last night on a stream while I simultaneously was watching another show. I missed probably 1/3 of the rounds, because I didn't switch back in time. I could have opened IWS up too, but my laptop is slow and I already had 2 streams going.

Maybe I am just in a funk and will break out of it soon.

Watch out,you keep talking like that and X is going to start calling you Luke

Took Mayweather about 20 seconds of fight time to make what all those guys did combined.

Pretty surprised how little KZ and Porier made. When you headline a card with a guy making absolute chump change, I guess you can't complain about low numbers. A headliner getting paid $14k is a disgrace.

I am not one that decries the pay scale too much, but these guys need to refuse to fight for $8,000... that's nuts.

They also get sponsorships but I do agree.
