So what happens if Connor loses to Aldo now? Does Dana hang himself?
His two biggest draws losing would be crushing.

It would hurt but be a lot less damaging to Conors career. Ronda was self-serious and mythic. An icon that can't be put back together. Conor, because he's **** awesome, has an irony and playfulness. He's clearly loving the process of ratcheting this **** up. He could still hype fights like crazy and ignore previous failures. The bravado - because of its cheekiness - would live on.

Like w Chael. Those two are both such clever dudes.

Any rationale for that?

He did miss a credit hearing in his bankruptcy filing, that's pretty much the same thing right?

Now I have an excuse for my dislike of Tim Kennedy.

I wonder how Schaub is gonna take it, lol.

War Machine is in trial and his defense for rape is that it is not possible to rape a porn star. Then blew a kiss to the DA.

The world will be better when he's locked away.
He'll hang himself before his prison sentence is over, or he will be killed behind bars. He'll get in a brawl, mess up someone, and get shanked or something after. The guy is a complete lunatic with no sense of reality.

Thought this was an interesting read: Georges St-Pierre on infamous meeting with UFC brass: 'I used a lot of F words'

After the Hendricks fight GSP was still upset about the UFC had dismissed him over his drug testing comments and Dana was apparently upset about GSP saying he wanted to take a break after getting the dubious decision.

REDDzone · Post #132 » by **REDDzone** » Tue Dec 1, 2015 12:08 am

Is that when the ufc literally had someone steal GSP's belt? Lots of ufc, or more specifically Dana bashing lately by big names like Bones and GSP. GSP said Dana is what made him retire or something, and Bones basically outlined his issues with Dana/Lorenzo then turned around and basically said 'actually Lorenzo is cool" lol the implication was clear.

If there was any shame left in Dana, he would be ashamed of how he acted that night. He sat there and told the media that GSP couldn't come to the presser because he was in an ambulance on the way to the hospital. GSP showed up five minutes later and it turns out the ufc had told him not to go to the presser lol.

edit: I was ranting, but much of this is outlined in the article Jasen posted.

Gsp is the best. Good for him for calling out these jokers.

The days of them running roughshod over people seem to be coming to an end.
It's nice to have some information from a guy without a single smear of his own to his name.

I also thought it was interesting what he was saying about the reebok deal. He said his contract wasn't like anyone else's in regards to sponsors, and I kind of didn't understand what he meant, but Ariel asked if the reebok deal could prevent him from returning. He said it could prevent the ufc from having him return or something like that. Again I was confused.

Might be related to his Under Armor or Hayaboosa deals, which are worth millions annually (or were in 2013).

Ah, forgot about the under armor thing. That has to be it.

Rogan talking about the possibility of leaving. It sounds like he's just talking out loud but I would be so keen to see Stann take the role as UFC's main colour commentator.

REDDzone · Post #139 » by **REDDzone** » Fri Dec 4, 2015 2:50 am

Meh I like Rogan but he has been a little tiring lately. The whole everyone else is lucky to breathe the same air as Rousey stuff, specifically. That said, I usually go to the bar for ppvs, so I don't hear them perfectly anyway.

If he went to Belator, it would be a huge blow for the UFC. He's one of the biggest names/faces of the UFC and isn't as big of a scumbag as Dana. He holds plenty of cache with the casual MMA fans.
