This is the finest case situation with Conor being out imo… strong card and global battle week is enjoyable 🤌 🤷🏻♂️

Alex Pereira is underpaid by the UFC – they are extremely really fortunate this guy chose to shot his hands at MMA #UFC303

And that’s not to glorify the late-notice element either duetothefactthat lotsof times it doesn’t pay off. There’s a long list of business males who got tossed out like the rest. Hopefully these guys are all being really well compensated for this, particularly Pereira who has the most to lose.
