@Mantle Drunk weidman isn't UFC's best fighter breh. I did hear that UFC is really out here monitoring any bad press because they are very selective with their Media Passes @lolwutdawg what does the future hold for my podcast then we praise and bash UFC

I don't think they'll bother you if the aren't paying you to cover their stuff.

Word I'm trying to go to some events with a press pass I hear they are very strict

 

[Kenny West]

Sorry not a plant, i just like seeing consistently good fights, and UFC is the only guarantee of that. All these other Orgs come and go, so its in my best interest to see the UFC make money and stay strong so that I can keep on enjoying MMA, and have it easily available for me to watch.

And yes Ronda da new bell cow that last ppv did some nice numbers, any smart businessman would be trying to protect their brightest asset which is currently Ronda.

how many nikkas here purchasing UFC stock? you a fan and consumer of a product, how you claim you wanna see good fights then defend the bs. UFC will be fine the day honda stops fighting cans.

We'll let's see how many yrs has it been since dana n the fertitas bought ufc? Since that time how many of these small or gs have come and gone and ufc is still there breaking new markets. How often did good quality mma show on TV or cable, ufc is huge.

95% of the fighters and fights u guys discuss and talk about are ufc fighters at some point in other. But but yet u guys think it's cool to hate on dana n ufc. Witout dana n ufc half da ppl in this thread probably wldnt be here tlkin bout mma. They wld think it's some mythical bloodsport still.

Did I luv pride he'll Yeah but look at dem yakuza's did to it. I remember some fighters saying they wld have to fight n argue jus to get paid after fights.

Why is everyone assuming Wideman is going to run through Luke Rockhold?

Not me, I think he has the tools to beat Weidman. He's got two of the best wrestlers on the planet in his camp, he's just as big as Chris, and has a ground game.

Edgar vs Mendez should be a great fight, at the moment I give the edge to Edgar. He's really motivated to get that next title shot and Mendez is coming off the loss to Dana's sidepiece.

Gee who wldve guessed ufc wld develop and promote new stars to attract viewers and mk good money. I guess the reebok uniforms didn't prevent the public from buying in

 

[LinusCaldwell]

That's not UFC that's Ronda making it work. Remember at first Dana was against small nikkas and females in the UFC because he felt like they couldn't generate money

This, now the 2 biggest stars happen to be just that. For all the steps they've made it seems they've become out of touch

No its the UFC, as they were smart enuff promoters to change that stance. And then take 2 rising fighters market them successfully.

Remember Ronda didn't start on ufc, so how come her prior or didn't market her this well, or 'blow her up' like this where shes gracing covers of top sports mag, movies, and has become a household name. Say what u want bout evil dana n the reebok deal but no1 makes more household stars than the ufc currently or as consistently. Ppl may not like that but u gotta respect it.

Breh... Ronda was on her way making it to stardom on strikeforce just like Gina Carano did. Strikeforce help build a lot of these dudes same with WEC. Idk why you wanna rewrite history on some wwe taking over wcw/ecw type sht. And stop acting like everyone is against Dana/UFC I stated a fact. Dana never came back and retracted that statement. This all is probably the fertitas who have the vision. Regardless it will be very interesting to see how reebok played out when even the darling of the UFC Conor wanted no parts of it after the mendes fight.

I thought Connor didn't want to wear the fight kit. I think he had on a Reebok shirt that was designed for him.
