Ann Wolfe: I would f**k Ronda Rousey up, tear her up!

[Beanflicker]

For women's MMA its Invicta. UFC is just now working on their 2nd weight class for women. Invicta has many. Rousey is the lone superstar for women though. And of course the UFC can and probably will use its power/money to trump/buyout the other leagues at some point.

I love Invicta, I think Knapp does a great job, but they really are only a farm league for the UFC. I don't know if you heard, but the UFC swooped up a fuck load of their talent, including one of my favorites Tecia Torres.

The UFC is where the money is, and the cream rises to the top eventually.

I never heard that but I expected them to work on taking over women's MMA at some point. The brand name is like royalty to fighters even when the Fertitta brothers bought the organization they were adamant on keeping the brand name going because they know how fighters think. Hence, you have the UFC being glorified or deemed "where the money is at" even though they average paying out only 4% of their total revenue to the entire payroll of fighters. But the women's scale is difficult to compare. Invicta doesn't release its numbers and outside of Rousey the other women's pay is paltry. Carmouche, Tate, and McMann for their title fights against Rousey respectively made 12K, 28K, and 16K. Kind of sad when you realize this is before taxes, trainer/etc. fees and they can only fight 2 or 3 times a year. Tito said the Invicta offer to Cyborg was more money than the UFC's offer but they signed in hopes of fighting Rousey.
