Hardy questions UFC 326’s PPV value despite Holloway–Oliveira headline

MMA analyst Dan Hardy says UFC 326 doesn’t feel like a true pay-per-view card despite the Holloway vs. Oliveira main event, praising the Drew Dober vs. Michael Johnson clash as the most interesting on the lineup and criticizing other bouts for lacking stakes. He notes the UFC’s Paramount+ deal has reduced PPV pressure and suggests the card could be a “one-fight” event, though he’ll still watch and is curious about a potential Holloway–Oliveira II continuation.

"Former UFC Champion Frank Mir Reflects on Being Underpaid for UFC 100 Fight Against Brock Lesnar"

Frank Mir reflects on his fight with Brock Lesnar at UFC 100, realizing years later that he was drastically underpaid compared to the event's massive profits, with Mir making only $45,000 while Lesnar earned $400,000 before pay-per-view sales were factored in. Mir now questions the disparity in fighter pay, especially after seeing boxers like Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury make tens of millions from similar pay-per-view numbers. Despite feeling shortchanged, Mir acknowledges that fighters today are making more money than in the past, providing some comfort as his daughter pursues a fighting career.
