Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each
question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on
four things from 1 to 5:
directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow),
precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted
mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange
scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean.

That's it, eight or nine contracts. We have almost a thousand guys under contract now. All the ancillary stuff was sold off to Lionsgate because the old owner was trying to stay alive. So to, to show you People can't wrap their head around this now. How much people didn't believe in the UFC? We went back to Lionsgate, and we bought the rights back for like, I don't remember what it was, but it was like two and a half, three million bucks. We bought all those rights back.
