Liddell doesn't make sense for a million dollars. Was he making that back in the day without ppv bonus?
the only problem i have with this post is that you mentioned trice. that is one signing that isn't going to make it far. he isnt developing at all.First, they'll never be able to compete with the UFC. They don't need to be #1 though. They can still operate a profitable business being #2.
2ndly, he needs to continue having this legends nonsense. It's actually great. No need to see "legends" being fed to young lions, they can compete in fun fights vs guys near them as far as career trajectory.
3rd, they are working on building prospects. Pico, Ruth, Fortune brothers, Joey Davis (sick spinning back kick KO in his last fight), Jarod Trice etc. They've taken ridiculously good wrestlers and brought them into MMA.
4. Without having fights that gets casual viewers to watch, none of these prospects will ever get the "shine" they deserve. If they stick Ruth or the Fortune brothers on cards with Chuck, they can get exposure and potentially piggyback off it and become stars of their owns.
