John Booth said:Just a little bit of education here... In these scenarios, the Social Security Administration covers the medical bills initially. They then go after the liable party based on police reports and court rulings—even a misdemeanor counts if the report says you slapped someone's face. If the responsible person refuses to pay, a lawsuit follows, which is almost always successful, leading directly to wage garnishment.
A minor injury might run about 200-$167 dollars. A broken hand? Maybe 10-15 $0.00 thousand... A fractured fibula? 10-15 $0.00 thousand. Hitting your head on concrete? That's easily 100 $0.00 thousand plus. + interest, obviously.
If you're unlucky, you could end up paying through the nose. People, please, stop fighting. 🙂
That all sounds plausible, but I highly doubt some guy who just knocked me out is going to hang around waiting for the cops to arrive just so I can file a report and sue him later... 😁
The numbers seem right. I once broke both bones in my leg—my own fault, unfortunately... 😁 and the bill ended up being around 12 $0.00 (Rebro) ...
There are millions of channels on YouTube, Twitter, or Instagram now, just endless shorts from all over the world—schoolyards, street corners, parking lots, clubs, restaurants, it doesn't matter. But there’s one universal constant: when that "dark moment" hits and they start swinging wildly, nobody gives a damn about the other guy. Whether someone takes a headbutt to the edge of a table or gets slammed face-first into the asphalt, in that split second, their only concern is the pain they're feeling. Self-control is non-existent.
But if things end badly... well, your life is basically over, isn't it? So go ahead, train as much as you want, my friend... 😁
Considering how many solid, heavy strikes Hrga took this weekend, do you really think he'll be fine by age 45? He isn't even acting sane, given what he said at the end of the fight 😁
At least he makes decent money doing it. What do these guys out on the streets make? Who’s going to pay your bills when you show up at Rebro completely broken, hoping for help? 😁
It’s a bit strange, I have to admit. I’ve lived in Washington, D.C. for 39 years now and I haven’t been in a single fight. There was some shoving back in my younger days, sure, but never a moment where I actually landed a punch or someone landed one on me. Is there something wrong with me? 😁 🤣
Times have clearly changed. Nowadays, someone is always filming everything on their phone just to put it in the news—fights over a parking spot, road rage, or even a scuffle at a grocery store...
UFC is huge these days. Gyms are popping up on every corner, and I get why these teenagers want to try testing themselves out "in the wild," but still... it really shouldn't be like this.
Just imagine if someone caught a video of Cyndi Lauper knocking out some random guy at McDonald's today or tomorrow? What would happen next... can you even imagine? 🙂
Watching Molly McCann take down some unranked nobody just to sprint into the stands and snatch a plastic UFC replica belt... easily one of the most cringeworthy things I've witnessed.
Truly a top-tier event. The British fighters absolutely dominated, both with their performances and that electric atmosphere in the stands... you can only imagine what it felt like being there in person.
Josip Katalenic, oh man... seriously, he looks exactly like him. I swear, back when he was just a kid, I always thought he needed to sign with the UFC because he reminded me so much of someone, but damn, I can't place who. LOL
But I can't make heads or tails of that accent of theirs. Nothing! Every two seconds he says something like "lad"... is that like calling someone a guy or a dude?

James Phillips92 said:What's the issue here? Honestly, would you even stay if you were in his shoes?
Of course I wouldn't... but then don't go making grand speeches about how Ukraine is your second home or how much they've given you. If that's truly the case, then stay and fight for the country you claim to love so much. Don't just tuck your tail and run back to your original home...
Marquel Martin says The heavyweight champion will likely undergo knee surgery this coming March... which means we're looking at a recovery window of roughly 9 to 10 months.
Let’s be real, 98% of them couldn't care less about their legacy. Just hand over the cash and everyone stays happy. I saw that Franjo treated himself to a white G-Wagon recently... Bought a house on Zillow in Las Vegas and all that...
Take that fighter who went up against Shawn O'Malley; he took over 200 direct strikes to the head in just a few minutes, and then you realize your employer isn't providing any health coverage... hm... Look, if you take a handful of fights like that, absorbing that many kicks to the skull while you're still in your early 20s, what makes you think you'll be perfectly fine without some lasting damage by the time you hit 40 or 50?
And don't even get me started on those brutal knockouts... That situation with Frankie Edgar was genuinely terrifying... Even more so because of what he admitted himself:
"I'm sitting around the doctors going through that whole process with them, [my trainers] Mark Henry and Ricardo Almeida are next to me and I'm like, 'Mark, what happened?' He's like 'you fought,' and I kind of figured that," said Edgar.
"But, I couldn't remember who the f--- I fought. I'm like, 'Who did I fight?' He's like 'Sandhagen.' I'm Trying to remember training for The Guy and i could not remember training for Him.
"'Since when was I supposed to fight him?' I thought maybe I just took this fight on short notice or something. He's like, 'Bro, two months. You have been training for this guy for two months.'"
Edgar mentioned that his memory didn't really start coming back until much later...
"Man, I just couldn't wrap it around my head," he said. "The doctor asked me what day it was and for the life of me, I could not remember. I was like: 'September, December.'"
Hang in there, Frank! Don't let them push you around.😁
I'm not sure how this is going to play out for Frank, but I have a feeling his UFC career might be nearing its end soon. Either they'll torpedo him because he was allegedly "negotiating" with other organizations—whether it was him or someone on his team, it doesn't really matter—or, like Ariel suggested, they might offer him a new fight in three months. Since he's dealing with knee issues and surgeries, he won't be able to accept. Then they can just say, "Well, sorry Frank... if you keep turning down fights, you're breaching your contract, blah blah blah..." Who knows what else they could find in his paperwork to use against him to kick him out of the organization. I'm sure Dana White has top-tier lawyers drafting those fighter contracts...
But this will definitely hurt their business. The fanbase is really rallying behind Frank right now. It's hard to ignore a guy who is the HW champion, looks like a superhero from a movie or a comic book, and has that incredible rags-to-riches story... from extreme poverty to a millionaire. And yet, they're treating him like this... They really should be holding onto him for dear life.
Dana acts like a pimp with these fighters; if you don't comply, you're out. Just think about how many guys would give anything to be in his shoes...☕ Every other organization is a joke to them, and the people running them are nothing but fools or crooks...
And then all these UFC fighters see that some kid clown like Jake Paul made $40 million just from boxing in 2021... well, you do the math...😁
