Honestly,it's been months since I'd read Ars, and going back, it looks like they're really in the shitter right now. It's too bad, because they really did have some nice articles in the past.

Vigor should fight BJ at 177 and then challenge GSP/Diaz/Condit in 2013.

Remember when it was announced that Snowden was no longer with bloodyelbow, and he insisted that he hadn't been fired but was "moving on to bigger and better things"? http://bleacherreport.com/users/689391-jonathan-snowden

Bleacher Report has enough money to bribe Google and still pay a handful of writers. This is probably a good job. And if he thinks money is worth more than showing contempt for readers and getting into comment sections flame wars, choosing to leave Bloody Elbow makes a ton of sense.

While Josh Gross was discussing the UFC fighter pay story with John Barr on his most recent ESPN podcast, Gross made an open It's a shame that given their history this will probably never happen, because the potential hilarity of putting those two in a booth together for a couple of hours is really unlimited.

Dana peaked at Josh "save the whales" Gross. It'd just be a Mayweather-esque manbaby affair with Dana crying about him not talking about the positives, reading from a fact sheet, and then talking about TUF4/the one time he asked if there was a tripod around prefaced with "listen, what you have to understand about this guy is". Also Gross would tersely respond to every insult with "alright, mmhmm. ok" and then admire his threadbare scalp in a mirror covered with photos of Fedor.

That's a fair point. Perhaps we can increase podcast buys by bringing in an incendiary third party to make it a triple threat match of some kind?

Have you ever talked about whether or not you liked a song without actually ever having written and produced one? What about commented on a movie without ever having made one? Do you have opinions on books without ever having written your own? It's the same thing.

The recently mentioned yet indisputable fact that MMA media is afraid of the internet reminded me that last week Josh Gross made the very specific claim on his podcast that he is "not an Anonymous" while discussing the distinction between UFC's website being hacked vs. DNS re-routing. I think I speak for Dana in saying that this denial is very suspicious, and proof that we should enact SOPA immediately so that we can remove this type of terrorist presence from the internet.

quote:They got lucky when Shu Hirata says they got a free roll of a few million bucks for a sold show from Dentsu, Japan’s second largest ad agency. So, what did UFC do? They went the Vince McMahon route. Book an Americanized show that, for traditional Japanese fight fans, has no tribute to their past glory days or history. The matchmaking of the show does not touch on any past or present cultural themes. It’s just a straight-up UFC card. Now, in most other countries on this planet, this card is perfectly acceptable for a mid-range show. However, we’re dealing with Japan here and the Japanese are prideful people. http://www.fightopinion.com/2011/11/27/ufc-japan-2012-card/

Considering the show's sold 15,000 so far, I'm more inclined to listen to him than Zach Arnold.
