And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

The Guardian did an article about more and more white nationalists being involved in the sport https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/sep/11/far-right-fight-clubs-mma-white-nationalists

quote:

So why are white supremacist groups forming fight clubs and MMA promotions? The answer lies in the violent nature of the sport and their ability to thrive within it. Over the years, fighters with links to the far-right have been involved in some of the world’s most recognizable promotions, including the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Strikeforce. UFC fighter Donald Cerrone and former fighter Joe Brammer were sponsored by Hoelzer Reich, a far-right brand known for propagating extremist symbols. The brand was banned by the UFC in 2009. Four years later, welterweight Benjamin Brinsa was accused by German media of maintaining ties to extremist groups in his native country, while his gym was accused of sheltering neo-Nazi fighters. He was later released by the UFC before making his official debut but did not struggle to find professional fights in Russia.

I totally forgot about those guys, and I don't think I ever heard of Brammer again after he got clowned on that TUF finale.

Kharitonov beating the gently caress out of that giant dude with the white supremacist tats in Pride was awesome though.

False advertising. They ensmallened Tito's noggin by at least a factor of three with photoshop. I get that they needed to fit them both in frame together, but that's just bogus.

Tito's Aura of -2 Public Speaking has stacked on poor Oscar until he sounds like Muhammad Ali looked when he lit that torch.

Remember when Tim Sylvia tried to fight, but it couldn't get sanctioned because he weighed as much as a Toyota Tercel and he had blood pressure high enough to pressure-wash a deck, so the fight got shopped down the line until even the lawless Eastern seaboard native commissions had turned him down? This fight is like that fight, except both guys are Tim Sylvia.

Dude was getting paid to not publicly embarrass Zuffa. New ownership decided that wasn't so much of a priority. Its also part of the reason we're seeing so many Bellator co-sponsored old man fights. New UFC ownership is doubling down on the Dana White's "gently caress The Fighters" mantra.

Is Tito Ortiz full blown...special? I don't know the right word.

He's like that kid at school who was homeschooled until highschool, thinks he is a genius, and can't work a car door.

He comes from an era where sports kids would get academic bumps if they were good at sports. I'm pretty sure Tito has a legit 4th grade education on top of nearly 20 years of head trauma.
