Talk turns to NFTs and elon-tweeted coins like 'come rocket,' with Tim pressing on whether one man's tweets having so much market power is a problem, before Jake Paul pivots to fighter pay and Dana White's control over UFC purses.
- Tim likes that Bitcoin mining uses a lot of energy and wants the earth hot, even suggesting building mines in volcanoes.
- UFC fighters risk their lives in one of the hardest sports and dedicate more to it than athletes in any other league.
- Dana White and UFC ownership take the largest cut compared to fighters of any sports league or organization.
- Fighters can't speak up about unfair pay because Dana White will cut them and throw them to the side.
- Without fighters getting in the ring, the UFC wouldn't have the content they sell for hundreds of millions of dollars.
- Jake Paul's movement shows fighters they don't need promoters or long-term deals and should create their own hype on social media.
