I still think they're bringing back Jon Jones for the white house, probably stripping Tom in the process. Pereira is all but confirmed to be fighting for the HW title next and they need as many Americans as they can get on the WH card. Ciryl as the backup for if/when JJ pulls out or has an incident in the leadup.

Please God put Jon Jones and Connor McGregor at UFC WH, have every single United States politician and AIPAC lobbyist in attendance and then drop an Iranian nuke on them.

Hearn is just going to be a British Ali Abdelaziz (but far less scandalous) for Tom, AFAIK so far; mate still has fights on his contract. Aspinall is making Dana sweat (Piers Morgan video with Dana before the signing):

Ali is in bed with the UFC. IIRC Ali, Rampage's manager who slapped the streamer, and a couple other guys manage the vast majority of the roster between them. His past/present as a terrorist affiliate doesn't matter so long as he keeps his clients in line. Eddie on the other hand has a legit beef with Zuffa boxing moving in on his turf and Dana has always had a chip on shoulder when it comes to boxing promoters.

In the clip you posted Dana gets all giddy for his gay lover JJ and basically dismisses Tom's place as the HW champ.
 
“The Professional Fighters League has made the decision to partways with Francis Ngannou,” a PFL representative said in a release.“We have great respect for Francis as both an athlete and a person,and we wish him success in the next chapter of his combat sportscareer. The PFL remains focused on recruiting and signing the bestathletes in the sport while continuing to deliver world-classcompetition for fans around the globe.”

Lol. LMAO even.
 
Jon’s cock is so deep in Dana’s mouth he’ll still give him the White House card AFTER ducking Aspinall.

With Francis just getting released, what are the odds we actually get Jones vs Francis as a one off?
 
2024 might have been the last year the UFC was ever good.
This is the worst era in UFC history. I thought there was no way we could top last year, but Paramount is dead set on proving me wrong. Justin becoming the interim is an absolute joke and they really dropped the ball putting all their eggs in the Pimblett hype train and it blew on their faces massively.
Pereira is the only fighter I am remotely interested in rn. Flyweight - fucking flyweight - is the only division that has a champion booked for a defense. Them letting Islam move up to avoid Ilia might have been the biggest mistake the UFC has ever made, and I will keep repeating this until they have both retired without fighting and I'm proven right. Them giving Jones Pereira after avoiding Aspinall like a plague would be a spit on our faces, and if that happens I would not blame Aspinall if he were to dip once his contract is over. And no, I don't believe Conor is coming back.

February 30th of fucking never.

Jon ducked Francis, prime Stipe, and heavyweight DC.

Now that Jon is old and has at least one bad hip, he's not trying to walk into that kind of artillery.

Tom is more likely to fight Francis than Jonny Duck.

Ali is Dana's boy (when he's not being a government snitch). Hell, most of the managers in the UFC are afraid to really go to bat for their own fighters against the company because they either want to stay in the good book, or they know they have no leverage. Hell, even Conor didn't really have much leverage against UFC.

If Tom wants out of his contract, Eddie Hearn has a deep enough war chest to fund an ugly ass lawsuit that UFC and TKO don't really want about fighters' status as 'independent contractors.'

As far as getting Tom fights outside of the UFC, he can get him boxing matches for sure, but if he can get a deal done between Tom and Francis for the lineal heavyweight championship (currently Francis), that could do some business.

Ali is the prime example today of the manager who is in bed with the UFC, mainly because he's such a fucking idiot when running the accounts of his "clients" and being involved with Khabib, therefore putting him under the microscope. Islam getting exposed for having a 200k contract as a champion vs Moicano and then everyone running defence for "well you don't actually think he's only getting paid that much, it's structured differently etc"...yeah ok. Probably ok for Islam because he's Arab/Dagestan funded but point aside - he's paid fuck all.

Other guys you are thinking of are Tiki Ghosn who Strickland says is a creep/paedo, and semi famously is Aljo's manager and got filmed doing fuck all to stop him from taking the O'Malley fight when injured. Was also Ortega's head coach for his fight with Volk (a great conflict of interest there when Aljo and Ortega were fighting. Somehow Ortega got his requested 5 round fight, which Aljo was not happy about because he wasn't getting paid more for 2 extra rounds of work. He's the guy who knocked the streamer out.

Malki Kawa/the Kawa bros are the other ones who are scummy, but don't see too much of them anymore. Most recent thing I remember was when Masvidal got humped by Colby, one of them was in the back telling Masvidal "you wanted to fight, he didn't" and looking like an idiot.

Says a lot that Aspinall was apparently, until he signed with Hearn, managed by his father. That old man told him not to sign with all these people who take 10% and don't help much, and his dad managed to get him to several main event bookings and then a title shot, so really there is little to no value with most of these managers. The ones who were actually good (GSP's, Ngannou got one as well) - tended to get paid well or find ways of expanding to other ventures.

Hearn is interesting because he's scummy, but an outsider who is feuding openly with Dana White/Zuffa, and this is perhaps a little bit of revenge/counterplay to Zuffa signing Conor Benn for a 15M single fight (very stupid waste of money - Benn is not good and his hype was entirely due to the Eubank-Benn traditional rivalry passed on through their more famous and better fathers). Be interesting to see what happens with Tom under Hearn. Apparently he's getting a few others under contract for himself for MMA, and there is no doubt that Tom is on some kind of track, if he remains on top, to cashing into a boxing fight or two.

Apparently he has something called Pallister W syndrome:
>Pallister W syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by unusual facial features such as clefting of the palate and the upper lip, a broad flat nose, widely spaced slanted eyes, and/or downslanting eyelid folds (palpebral fissures). Other symptoms may include mental retardation, speech problems, bone deformities of the arms and legs, and/or seizures. The exact cause of Pallister W syndrome is not known.

He's an actual tard
