FLIPANTE. -
dicen que soldar los huesos es cuestión de unos 40 días para que quede todo ok
a partir de ahí ya depende de como tuviese músculos, tendones y ligamentos
*en condiciones normales, con tratamientos y ayudas especiales todo se acelera y se produce de mejor forma
ah y la foto puede ser solo de cara a la galería eh, muy probableComentario

Muy interesantes declaraciones de Nate Quarry:
When I signed with the UFC this is what I was told"We can't pay you much but you can have any sponsors you want.
Then: We need to approve your sponsors.
Then: You can't have any conflicting sponsors.
Then: You can't thank your sponsors after fights.
Then: We are not approving any sponsors that we don't like their product.
Then: Your sponsors have to pay us a fee of $50,000 for the pleasure to sponsor you.
Then: Your sponsors have to pay us a fee of $100,000 for the pleasure to sponsor you.
If a sponsor has a budget of 10k to sponsor a fighter, they are then out. If there are 5 shorts companies in the UFC you can only go to them for a sponsorship. If they have spent their budget or don't want to support an up and coming fighter they give you shorts instead of money. If you're fighting for $6,000 to show and fighting 3 times a year, even $500 makes a big difference. When there is no competition they don't have to pay you. I lost And1 as a sponsor when the UFC enacted the tax.
At the UFC summit a fighter asked if he could wear his own shirt. Dana laughed and said, "Uh... we can talk about it." I turned around and asked the UFC lawyer if I could wear my OWN shirt and he said, "Sure, give me $50,000 and we can talk about it."
People have no clue from the outside what it's like to fight for the UFC. After spending 10-15 years chasing your dream only to see that the company it's been your dream to fight for cares nothing about the fighters and only cares about the bottom line.
When I was fighting for the UFC we got X-Mas presents like an iPod. A very bottom of the line iPod but it was still cool. Now the guys get a gift certificate to the UFC store and can use it ONE day. Any money they don't spend on that day is forfeited.
A fighter gets to use the gym at the hotel he's fighting at for free. The cornermen and everyone with him have to pay. So I'm helping Leben make weight the day of weigh ins and have to pay to go sit in the sauna with him. The UFC couldn't say, "The fighter gets 3 people to go into the gym with him the week of the fight."
That's just nickel and dime stuff.
With every little bit they try to squeeze out of the fighters, the more the other organizations will look more attractive.
I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to fight for the UFC and everything I have besides my daughter has come from fighting. But let's not fool ourselves. It's not a charity. It's a business. And they are doing everything they can to make money. The fighters are just a product to use and discard. Every up and coming fighter is the best ever. Every ex-fighter who then expresses an opinion is a coward, loser, etc, etc.
I fought for the world title for $10,000. Not a penny more. No bonus. No cut of the PPV. The gate alone was 3.5 million dollars. The third highest gate in UFC history at the time. And they must have loved the fight cuz they show the final punch at the start of EVERY UFC PPV. :-)
And that's fine. Because it's a business. But sooner or later the allure of fighting in the UFC will not be as attractive as fighting for an organization that takes care of you, appreciates you, will let you have sponsors to help make up the income gap, doesn't trash you when you think for yourself, and on and on. Just like every business you work for. It's funny to me to hear people cheer for Dana when he says things that if he was your boss and he said them about you, you would be looking for another job. But when you're signed to a contract, you can't go anywhere. No matter how much you want to.
When I retired I received a form letter, EMAILED to me that said, "Should you choose to fight again you are still under contract with the UFC." I didn't even get a hard copy with a real signature that I could frame.
As I said, I love what the UFC has done for me and my family. And specifically what Dana has done for me.
But I also know it's a business. And that's the best piece of advice I can give to wanna be fighters. Fight for the love of the game. But you better treat it like a business. Because the promoter handing you a contract sure will.

Otro extracto de Nate Quarry explicando una ocasión en que Zuffa le amenazó con llamar a su equipo de abogados para que no se mencionase el nombre de UFC para un evento benéfico en el que iba a participar:
There was a charity that was going to work with me and put their logo on my shirt, which I was going to do for free. I was told, ‘You cannot have that charity, because they call you a UFC fighter on their website. They need to take that down.’ Really? This is a charity that is doing surgical missions in Kenya. It said, ‘UFC fighter Nate Quarry is fighting on this date on this card supporting this charity.’ ‘Nope. You can’t have it. They can’t say UFC fighter.’Comentario

y sigue:
“I always make a reference to my title fight against Franklin. I ask people, ‘What do you think a title fight main event, in the MGM Grand on Pay-Per-View will get you?’ People usually guess about a million dollars. I got paid $10,000. No Bonus, no nothing. When I lost, I went back to my original contract of $5,000 to show and $5,000 to win. People are shocked by that. They can’t even comprehend it. I didn’t know any better. My representation was Team Quest. None of those guys knew how to even read a contract, let alone negotiate one. When I came back after my back surgery, they were putting me back on $5,000 to show and $5,000 to win, and I told them I just couldn’t do that. So they bumped me up to $10,000/$10,000 and I fought Kalib Starnes and Pete Sell for that pay. Then I called them up and I said, ‘I can’t do this. You’re paying me so little and I have a little girl I’m trying to put through college. There’s so much wear and tear on my body for such little money that I’d be better off doing just about anything else.’They gave me a raise, which was much appreciated, and at the end of my career I was happy with the money that I was making. It wasn’t bench riding NBA player money, but it was better than I ever expected, and I was very grateful for it.
The more money the UFC pays to the fighter, the better the fighters they’re going to have. I’ve known plenty of guys who have said, ‘It’s so embarrassing that I’m bartending between fights just to get by.’ If they’re not working as bartenders, how much better prepared would they be for their fights? The fans would get better fights, and the fighters would feel more comfortable. People generally don’t perform well when they’re scared for their jobs. They want to know that their jobs are secure. That even if they have an off night, they’re safe, because the company cares for them. Dana is famous for tipping his wait staff at the restaurants tens of thousands of dollars, so it would be better for your long term career to serve Dana drinks than it would be to fight for him.”

Gilbert Melendez renovará con UFC y ha conseguido un contrato muy lucrativo:
- El 75% de sus futuros combates serán en ppv
- Melendez tendrá puntos de ppv aunque este haya ido mal en taquilla y auqnue pelee en la preliminary card o en el main card.
- Melendez será entrenador de TUF 20 (exclusivamente femenino) y el otro entrenador será Pettis, ambos se enfrentarán por el título a finales de 2014 (tittle shot asegurado).
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2014/2/24...-tuf-20-pettis
Si UFC le ha firmado semejante contrato con esas cláusulas de ppv será porque va a apostar fuerte por Melendez. Una pena no verle pelear con Eddie o Chandler en Bellator pero de pensar que se va a enfrentar a Petiis, ufff.Comentario

Joder que buen reconocimiento para El Niño. Se lo merece mas que nadid.

No entiendo cosas que hace UFC. Que sentido tiene dar este contrato, sobre todo la oportunidad de pelear por el cinto a Melendez?? estando como está la división?? con Pettis fuera por una temporada y cocos por ahí partiéndose la pana.. Bendo, que ha perdido con pettis, pero vuelve a ganar. Thompson que pierde, pero con una derrota... TJ Grant.. Miller.. bueno y no sigo, pero hay miles..
y si encima, no se puede olvidar que Pettis retó a Aldo y este último está acabando con la división feather.. con lo que no sería descabellado, que si PEttis defiende un par de veces... se partan la pana..Comentario

Pero repito no se anuncio un Gilbert vs Khabib?
