I don’t give a fuck to fight in front of some fucking billionaires and rich people that could give a shit less about me. Probably throwing parlays. Fuck you guys."
I mean, I appreciate him taking a stand here. But I’m not really sure what he thinks his day job even is? MMA ticket prices for floor seats can be around $1,500, options up into the $10,000 range.
Bad take. Say you are a developer.
You can get paid to build a video hosting platform to entertain the masses, and a company makes a huge amount of money, but you get paid and it’s your job and people like your work.
Or you could get paid to build surveillance software for an authoritarian government.
Both are jobs you could do, but you have a choice to not do one of them.
This is this man’s choice, and it’s a good one. Applaud him.
He’s a worker, of course he’s beholden to capitol.
But there’s a difference between a normal fight and something like this. There’s dignity as an athlete competing in a sports league with problems, this would be different
Sorry to be that guy, but it’s “capital”. Capitol is a building that houses the head of state.
Damnit…I actually second guessed myself on it too lol
I’d wager the people coming to the fight at the White House wouldn’t even care about the fight. The people paying 1,5k to 10k for a ticket and come to an arena for it do care.
It’s about becoming a background entertainment event for billionaires.
The people paying 1,5k to 10k for a ticket and come to an arena for it do care.
I doubt it. My ex-employer used to have really expensive seats for sport events just to schmooze clients. I wouldn’t be surprised if 99% of those seats are bought by company sales people.
Reminds me of the fighters from Django.
I thought of Jeff Bezos ruining the landing of the Blue Origin space flight interview with champagne and yelling

That still boils my blood so fucking much.
He can’t really do anything about that.
He wants to only fight infront of Millionaires, not just Billionaires.

Hell yeah Royval! Was already a fan, now I’m a bigger fan.
What’s next? Hauling in convicts for mock sea battles in the new trump ballroom with tasers and swords?
We’re not spending money on AI anymore. Might as well.
Don’t forget the sharks!
Nice, give this guy a prize
Anyone else prefer the term tourch instead of slam in headlines? Just feels better to me
If you’re going to use the term “slam” anywhere, it seems wasteful to exclude it from a headline about UFC.
I hate both. I really just want boring, but actually descriptive headline again.
Until it also becomes overused every time someone says anything
Slammed!
Sounds like someone needs some Monday Night Rehabilitation
Welcome to Costco, I love you.
I’d pay good money to watch someone fuck that little meat piggy Dana White in front of the White House. You know the yard would stink like poop and prosciutto.
