Bluedeanie posted:Realistically though, could Shelby just absorb Joe's duties and cover every weight class, or is that too great a workload for one person? No, that seems pretty insane. What's more Joe Silva covered just under 60% of the roster by himself, or a hair over 300 fighters to Shelby's 200. The UFC would be better off bringing in two new matchmakers (or more even). The only person that comes to mind who I might trust to take over some of the divisions is Sam Caplan, who did matchmaking for pre-Viacom Bellator, and isn't an rear end in a top hat headcase like Bjorn. Rich Chou might also be poachable, no idea. I wouldn't trust Chou with anything under 155 though, given his track record.

Joe Silva could be the most devastating loss the ufc has ever incurred. I might be being hyperbolic here, but I don't think I am.

EmmyOk posted:imo fighters should fight who they are asked to fight I dunno, I kind of like when fighters try to make matches themselves. Tyron Woodley's matchmaking abilities to get a fight with GSP or Nick has been exceptional, for example.

I don't mind trying to get fights or whatever but people shouldn't really be turning down fights. I like the best guys actually fighting instead of things like Boxing where they rarely seem to fight. Granted even if they turn down fights the pool is much smaller and it's a single organisation but still I think fighters following the matchmaker makes for better fights.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens in a few months when there's a last minute injury to a sorta big fight and guys like Joe Silva and Lorenzo Fertitta aren't there anymore to call Cheick Kongo a pussy on the phone to get a replacement. I dunno what they paid Dana to keep him around at least but it wasn't enough.

He was/is super close with Dave Meltzer (who I believe helped him keep his job when Zuffa bought it) and Meltzer always used to say coded things like "it'd be the best job in the world if you only have 12 shows a year to do" or something which means i'm not surprised he's finally like "I'm out" now he's made enough money.

Someone on the UG had an interesting find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOVj1Zkj55M&t=835s Skip to 13:55 if the video doesn't start there. Watch for Joe Silva and Ari Emanuel arguing on stage in the background. They do not seem to be getting along. I know Dana White went out of his way to not tread too hard on Silva's toes when it came to matchmaking. Probably for good reasons, it's a stressful-as-gently caress job as it is I imagine.

I've killed women and children and they haunt my dreams and the voices never stop. Every time I close my eyes I see the charred remains of the people I've maimed. Anyway, I DO NOT have post traumatic stress disorder.
