If it can be demonstrated that Bellator was shooting itself in the foot financially by even attempting to engage in the various bidding wars, the case becomes substantially stronger.

Are we sure Jon Jones isn't running a Kaufmanesque hypertroll on us all? His behavior is starting to border on brilliance if we view it through that lens.

I can appreciate the hypocritical irony of a promotion taking a "hard stance" that the whole brawl was bad for the sport and then building a promo package around it a few months later, but the obvious solution is to not repeatedly get caught on tape being a contemptible fake piece of poo poo and he can't get that much right.

I heard mma gossip that the ufc protected him during his season of tuf, you know not making him look like a dork. Does anyone who is more into mma gossip know anything specific about that?

given what we've seen from the guy why do you want more gossip to form an opinion on that, that's one of those "hey jones is coaching TUF, you think the UFC will protect him through edits because he's a doofus? Yes, yes I do" situations

Tito did look kind of bad compared to Chuck on their season, but not through any fault of the editors.

Yeah i haven't seen all of the season but it makes sense that they'd protect the coaches. Just from that it was specifically mentioned, i was wondering if something especially egregious happened. Rampage looked like the rudest gently caress calling that one dude titties. Hilarious but rude.

I'm sure he could have looked far worse, but he still came across as giving a poo poo about his athletes. Koschek. They made him out to be a villain basically.

The best was when one of Hughes' guys had to fight shortly after finding out that a family member had died, lost, and then got lectured by Matt about "not following the game plan"

I think what canada jezus is referring to is I believe Jones himself at one point admitted the he bragged or told some story of debauchery that the UFC caught on tape and could have used but didn't and he was grateful. A precursory google search isn't turning anything up though.

I remember Rampage had a great door destruction segment but I can't remember if it was that season that had the door get kicked off the hinges and then fall down and miss hitting someone by inches.

Keven. Just. Keven posted:specifically giving someone a villain edit. Roy Nelson was edited horribly because Dana hates him for being a short on charisma, fat, mulleted, man who he can't cut because he's a draw. There were bits where Roy told his fighters to fight smart and not injure themselves to best position themselves to win the whole thing and it would cut back to Dana screaming about how Roy is telling his team to lay and pray and that TUF is for true warriors etc. Also it was the first time the coaches challenge was specifically constructed to humiliate one coach and ensure their loss. It was a track and field challenge that included running a mile iirc. Oh and they used to play dopey circus music behind Nelson speaking from time to time.

If you think that was the first time you didn't watch TUF. GSP/Koscheck was batting practice and GSP could barely swing a bat. The challenge was often one sided to make the show more entertaining.
