Dana White Assures that UFC is “Not Doing Away with the Fight of the Night Bonuses”

BAD MMA News — Tue, 16 Jul 2013 23:55:25 +0000

How much people make, no matter their profession, is almost always a topic of contention. Nobody ever makes enough, and everybody could always use a little more. The UFC is no different. UFC fighter pay has been one of the hottest topics around for quite some time, but has been rekindled recently, especially with UFC veterans like Jon Fitch and Jacob Volkmann publicly discussing the matter. The discussion hit a fever pitch that had UFC president Dana White considering doing away with the promotion’s traditional “Fight of the Night” and discretionary or “locker room” bonuses. The bonuses are typically issued on the basis of performance for fighters that UFC officials felt had an entertaining or heartfelt fight or particularly exciting finish.

UFC Cutman Stitch Duran Looks Back at the Historic Battle Between Griffin and Bonnar

BAD MMA News — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 02:00:21 +0000

Courtesy of Damon Martin and official MMAWeekly.com content partner Bleacher Report . Jacob “Stitch” Duran is one of the most familiar faces any time a major MMA or boxing event takes place. He’s the guy responsible for making sure his fighters are taken care of between rounds and no cut gets too severe. Duran routinely works with famed boxers Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, and is also the cutman of choice for several UFC fighters including former light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin . Duran is famously known for his in-between round work when Griffin battled former Pride champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua back in 2007 when a large cut opened on his fighter’s head that could have very well ended the fight. Luckily, Duran was able to stop the bleeding long enough to allow Griffin to continue and he eventually submitted Rua in the third round.
