UFC Fight Night 11: Fighter paydays and salaries at UFC blog for UFC news, results, videos, rumors, fights, pics and tickets

Quote:

UFCmania.com has received the fighter payouts for UFC Fight Night 11 from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) for the event held on September 19 at The Palms Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The big money winner? Luke Cummo. Good for him — put some of that scratch on the side for diapers for your soon-to-be child … you’re gonna need it.

Nate Diaz — The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 5 winner — brought home the next highest purse with $30,000. And Thiago Alves banked $28,000 after a nine-month layoff from competition.

IDK, the closer it gets to fight time, the more I can't help to think Forrest actually has a chance. I think the Pride > UFC stigma has been erased and while Rua is a badass, I really don't think he'll be that dominant in the cage.

Plus all the Pride guys that have come over with new haircuts have lost, and Rua is sporting a new 'do.

I was wondering how you were beating me at the prognastycations l8ly

But uhhh about that Pride > greater than UFC thing? Jackson was a Pride fighter mostly. Well Gomi getting beat by the Bitch Diez was pretty fucked up, but other than that we got Cro Cop and uhhh

It's a foregone conclusion according to MMAth.

Shogun got choked out by Babalu who got KTFO by Jason Lambert who got out-pointed by Chael Sonnen who got armbarred by Gumby who then got armbarred himself by Elvis Sinosic who was demolished by Forrest.

Ninja just got dismantled by Lawler at XC, Herrings' been a giant dud, Big Nog didn't look good at all, Werdum was unimpressive, etc.

Is it me or has Ninja always been over rated? Anyway, Herring's been a giant dud all over the place since he came into MMA. Nog did win. Lawler will do well where ever he goes same as Urijah Faber, bit he's spent the last few years wandering around as a free agent not as a UFC fighter.

I guess what I'm saying here is that the Pride elite are not getting beat up by the UFC elite yet. Just the almosts and coulda beens.

Aside from Mirko, who have seen from the "elite?"

Jackson is a straight PRIDE fighter and he waxed the top UFC champ. That inverse hasn't happened yet. No top ranked PRIDE fighter has been beaten by a UFC fighter yet. Cro Cop got beat yeah, but by new UFC acquisitions. Had PRIDE been alive Zag woulda prolly been over there with the rest of the Brazilians where he can use soccer kicks and knees on the ground. Same with Kongo.

Far as the PRIDE getting beat by the UFC thing goes, it just hasn't happened yet IMHO.

Lol ... you italicized "elite". I guess it was a goofy word for me to use but I've been up for waaaay too long.

fufu · 09-20-2007, 06:45 PM

I'm not talking about Pride V UFC. Shogun is such a great fighter and he better fucking win!

UFC Fight Night 11 Medical Suspensions Issued

Quote:

Posted by MMA Junkie on September 20, 2007 at 7:43 pm ET

The Nevada State Athletic Commission has issued a slew of medical suspensions following last night’s UFC Fight Night 11 event, which took place at The Palms Las Vegas and aired on Spike TV. MMAjunkie.com (UFC news, MMA news, UFC rumors, UFC gossip, fighter interviews and event previews and recaps - MMAjunkie.com (formerly UFCjunkie.com)) received the paperwork directly from the NSAC.

Only one of the night’s nine fights went the full three rounds, and as a result, a small army of fighters — many who endured brutal knockouts and submissions — will need special clearance before returning to the Octagon.

The full list of suspensions includes:

Din Thomas (first-round loss via rear-naked choke to Kenny Florian): minimum suspension until Oct. 20 with no contact in training until Oct. 11. Additionally, Thomas will need to have an MRI of his right knee and receive clearance from an orthopedic doctor; otherwise, his suspension will run until March 18, 2008.

Chris Leben (third-round TKO of Terry Martin): Suspended until Oct. 20 with no contact until Oct. 11.

Terry Martin (third-round TKO loss to Leben): Suspended until Nov. 19 with no contact until Nov. 4.

Junior Assuncao (first-round loss via guillotine choke to Nate Diaz): Suspended until Oct. 20 with no contact until Oct. 11. Assuncao must have his right foot X-rayed and cleared by a doctor; otherwise, his suspension will run until March 18, 2008.

Nate Quarry (third-round TKO of Pete Sell): Suspended until Oct. 20 with no contact until Oct. 11.

Pete Sell (third-round TKO loss to Quarry): Suspended until Nov. 19 with no contact until Nov. 4. Sell must have his thumb cleared by a doctor; otherwise, his suspension will run until March 18, 2008.

Edilberto Crocota (first-round TKO loss to Luke Cummo): Suspended until Nov. 4 with no contact until Oct. 20.

Joe Veres (first-round TKO loss to Gray Maynard): Suspended until Oct. 20 with no contact until Oct. 11.

Kuniyoshi Hironaka(second-round TKO loss to Thiago Alves): Suspended until Nov. 4 with no contact until Oct. 20.

Jonathan Goulet (first-round loss via verbal tapout to Dustin Hazelett): Suspended until Oct. 20 with no contact until Oct. 11. Goulet must have his elbow X-rayed and cleared by an orthopedic doctor; otherwise, his suspension will run until March 18, 2008.

I find it hard to pick Chuck since I haven't seen him sober in 6 months. They had him on Sportscenter last night before the Miami game and he was so tweaked. I don't know how Dana or his handlers can let him appear in public like that.

BoneCrusher · 09-21-2007, 06:11 AM

It's hillarious to see him like that but yet be so focused in a fight. The beer or whatever he's into is giving him a gut too. Ever see him in his older fight clips? When he's ripped he looks freaky.
