Contrary to Jon Fitch’s claim on PFL millionaires, Sean O’Connell says he got paid ‘without a hitch’

BAD MMA News — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 23:47:37 +0000

Jon Fitch made waves over the weekend when he expressed doubt that PFL Season 1 winners would receive their guaranteed $1 million purses. “I don’t have any faith that those guys are going to get paid their full amount,” Fitch said backstage at Bellator 214. Fitch didn’t have any specific information to back up his remarks, but that didn’t stop him from confidently claiming that the promotion’s massive prize money isn’t as advertised. If that’s the case, it’s news to Sean O’Connell . He already got his money. “Yes, I got every dime I was promised,” O’Connell, who won the PFL light heavyweight title, told MMAjunkie on Monday

BAD MMA News — Thu, 03 Jan 2019 02:19:20 +0000

Naturally, Nunes supplanted Cyborg at No. 1 at women’s featherweight – but she also took her spot at the top of the overall women’s list. Gallery Amanda Nunes def
