She's also really not that bright. I've watched some of her interviews and her testimony in front of the California board trying to add the mma version of the Ali law was just painful. Zuffa sent her because she's a pretty woman champ and the board was mostly women. She's an incredible fighter, though.

So the only thing girls these days could look up to before the advent of sweaty, punchy Marie Curie was the Kardashians, Snooki and underaged pregnant teens?

You don't frequently hear women look up to someone like Grace Hopper. Even women don't care about smart women. Women are the biggest critics of other women's appearance. There are plenty of brilliant role models out there, but very few actually care about them. I like Ronda quite a bit, but she's a lot like the Diaz brothers.

In fairness, that guy isn't really a journalist, he's just a hanger on who owns a camera, so journalistic fundamentals like checking to see if something is true are lost on him

I hate the kind of people who even when they clearly hosed up and are wrong, they still make themselves out to be the victim and then spin it into "you will all get your wish: I won't give you anything anymore! (Now you'll see how much you needed me!!)". Basically Brian from the JRE. I saw that on the UG too and I am happy most of the posters there are still calling him an rear end in a top hat and that his apology sounds backhanded/forced.

Layzie screwed up, he let his bias cloud his judgment. But he apologized quickly, directly and whole-heartedly when he got the facts straight. He added the context to his apology show that his mistake wasn't made maliciously. Layzie didn't say he wasn't his fault, just explaining things that contributed to his mistake. I enjoy his videos and commentary, and the Diaz Bros., and MMA, probably gained a lot of fans over the last year through Layzie and MiddleEasy's publicity. I hope he doesn't take this too hard and stays active. His situation illustrates the risks of being a both a media personality and a friend and de facto publicist for fighters.

I agree, I think Layzie is still a force in mma journalism but he has bad management and could really do well to drop a weightclass in this new age of mma journalism. e: just wanted to reiterate that it's not Layzie's fault and he is still the best mma journalist ever e2: There is nothing on record of Layzie doing or saying anything racist. There is a public record of him showing familiarity and ease with other races, and of specifically rebuking racist and nationalist ideologies. e3: Layzie looked outmatched, but not embarrassed, and I think he added to his legend by taking an epic beating and never quitting. His survival under mount was inspiring. He took a lot of bombs and never stopped defending himself or trying to escape. DumbWhiteGuy fucked around with this message at 22:08 on May 14, 2012 |

I had no illusions whats so ever that it would be anything other than "well, either the fights cancelled and the spectators miss a fight, or we get to see some idiot get knocked out in 60 seconds" But then I would be able to say to other journalists "do you even train?!" and if they do, take it to the next level with "do you even fight!?"
