I think I enjoy hearing about wikipedia disputes in the same way I like hearing about EVE disputes -- it always reinforces my stereotype of how pathetic the participants are.

Did a quick search but didn't see this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_y_ZXktERE posted. Ran into it in the Russian thread in GBS. Good enough B-League to watch all the way through, but the KO is at 3:20 or so, what's more notable is what happens right after.

Nice. Three losses to one guy with only three wins, and two losses to another one guy with only two fights. Sign this man to the UFC and get him to fight Erick Silva.

Dude landed a flying knee, knocking out his opponent. Opponent's cornermen jumped the cage and attacked the winner. I believe the guy what lost is either Chechen or Dagestani

I don't kinkshame, I just appreciate that there are people summing up stuff like EVE battledrama and hilarious daylong wikipedia edit wars so they aren't lost like tears in the rain.

My mate just interviewed Melvin Guillard on his podcast. He was super late to the interview and hard to get on the phone, but once he started talking, he went completely nuclear on WSOF. I won't go into any more detail until he edits and releases the episode but was just curious; I thought WSOF had a pretty good reputation as an org and everything I have heard about Ali is positive (MMA Hour interviews are my only exposure). Is Melvin just jilted or is WSOF not as rosie as I thought?

I won't go into any more detail until he edits and releases the episode but was just curious; Talent is never going to be fully satisfied because everyone thinks they should make more money, and Melvin is extremely immature anyway, but maybe he does have some legitimate gripes. I assume he has an exclusive contract and WSOF isn't putting on cards as regularly as the UFC so maybe he is having a hard time getting fights (and getting paid).

Ali and Guillard also used to be training partners so there's likely some history there above and beyond whatever business shenanigans WSoF is up to.

So now that the dust has settled, was 60 million for pride's library and contracts a fair price? I seem to remember zuffa suing pride's original owners for fraudulently misrepresenting the company's financial stability, but don't know what resulted of it.

Not really, they bought Pride with the idea of running shows separately like the WEC and maybe using that to get onto Japanese/international TV.

How does that work? Didn't Hunt have to sue them to get the last couple fights on his contract? If the contract was void, how did that work?

LeftistMuslimObama posted:How does that work? Didn't Hunt have to sue them to get the last couple fights on his contract? If the contract was void, how did that work? He didn't sue them, Dana was willing to pay out Hunt's contract in order for him not to fight. From what I can find scouring the internet Hunt and maybe a few other fighter's contracts were legit and the majority weren't. There's also the story of the Pride office on Zuffa payroll working to launch DREAM behind Zuffa's back. Apparently a lot of the contracts were not legally enforceable. I'm sure there's a bunch more information about it out there, but I'm not gonna hunt it down at the moment. I think Enson Inoue talked about some of the contract stuff on one of his Rogan appearances if you really want to hear more. But the terrible contracts and Pride fuckery under Zuffa control has been mentioned by a lot of people.

I'm really curious what this is going to turn out to be. Supposedly all the TV people hate him, and you can't do anything in that market without TV. On top of which all the good or well known Japanese guys are in the UFC, and the only one who's not is Aoki who has mountains of anti-charisma and is proven not to connect with fans or viewers. And yet Sakakibara keeps turning up in New York and Poland and wherever setting up whatever this is.
