Any MMA fans here? Can someone explain to me what Gilbert Burns has to gain from this fight with Khamzat Chimaev this coming Saturday?
I get it for Khamzat - he's hungry, the new guy on his way up (he hopes). but what does Burns have to gain here? I see only risk for him, assuming he thinks he has more of an MMA career ahead of him. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I think that's UFC's motivation. And you're possibly right in Burns's case.
What's the reason for your cynicism generally though? I mean, it's a hard game and fighters can be forgiven for wanting some reward can't they?
Should nobody ever do anything if there are great rewards on offer? Combat sports would never have existed!
But maybe there shouldn't be a huge reward for the winner of this fight, since although Chimaev looks promising, and certainly is entertaining, he is by no means seriously proven yet. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I feel its similar for me and gaming, I game be cause I enjoy it and am lucky enough to get money for doing so, if I didn't get paid for doing it anymore, I wouldn't bother. |
That says to me that gaming isn't your thing, even if you're good at it. When you find a real passion, you'll do it even if it bankrupts you. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I absolutely love gaming, but there is no reason for me to game if I don't earn from it |
So you give a reason for gaming that isn't money, and then tell me you'd have no reason to do it if it didn't pay
You're not making any sense Paddy. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Same as I do now, spend it on stuff I want |
So your passion is spending money on stuff. That's what women love isn't it? How many pairs of shoes do you have? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Oh well, as long as it makes you happy
Now, about this Chimaev/Burns fight...
It occurred to me that Burns wants this fight now because if he waits longer, he's going to be older (he's 35 now) and Chimaev is going to have more experience, so this might be his only chance to beat Chimaev. Then Burns comes right out and says just that in an interview ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
