Gonna be interesting
They should. It says he's going to MMA fulltime, but I bet he would accept a good offer to do both kickboxing and MMA in Bellator.Bellator should sign him
Because it's a totally different sport and some people really don't enjoy grappling or are just not good at it. Also, cultural differences.There's so much more money in mna. I don't understand why more kickboxer don't do this.
They used to have a presence on Dutch tv a few years ago and using these people to gain an entry into the market in mainland Europe wouldn't be a bad idea. If they'd do a combined MMA/kickboxing card, they'd most definitely sell out.Interesting to see where he goes.
Bellator makes the most sense imo, with their western europe plans and already having a lot of Dutch fighters signed like Gegard Mousasi, Costello van Steenis, Melvin Manhoef, Denise Kielholtz, Jorina Baars, Hesdy Gerges , Hatice Ozyurt (LMAO) and Pieter Buist.

Adesanya - who wasn't particularly high level - made more money in a couple ufc fights than 99% of kickboxers made their whole lives.
Interesting. Source?
The only reported UFC payout of Adesanya was 56K to show. Where can I find kickboxing payouts?
You won't really find a perfectly reliable source for kickboxing payouts. but it's common knowledge they get paid shit - that's why they fight 10-15 times an year. Guys like van Roosmalen and Rico Verhoeven are the exception.
I think I read Adesanya made ~110k in a fight (probably 56k to show + 56k to win) and I believe only Rico is in that ballpark in kickboxing.

Adesanya said that's not real, some of these disclosed payments are wrong i guess.Adesanya made 112k 56/56 2 fights ago. I think I saw somewhere he just signed a new deal though.
