"Basically, I just prefer the idea of pay BONUSES as opposed to pay CUTS."
Correct!
Win bonuses are stupid. Winning is its own reward, obviously. No one other than some C-level fighter who fights twice a month needs extra incentive to win -- the idea is ridiculous. "I might as well just quit since I'm getting paid the same either way."
"I thought the Tiago Alves fight was the fight of the night. Those dudes could've used the money more than Tito/Forrest too."
If they named that fight of the night and STILL didn't show it to us, that is complete absolute bullshit! But seeing pre-lims is a whole other topic (still can't believe they hardly show shit, not even highlites now days).
