I think she's talking about Cain's tattoo, which is clear proof that he's racist and wants to exterminate white people.

Yeah, I suspect she is. I was thinking less about Zimmerman and more about the White Entertainment Channel.

Coming on the heels of 500 posts debating the acceptability of a white lunatic calling a black man a "nigga" as opposed to a "friend of the family" (of course this happened), I expect this poo poo will cause the UG to explode into a hive of white rights activists.

I don't think it's that he feels excluded or spiteful over their success. Maybe he's just sick of people saying what a rube he was for selling it in hindsight.

I don't think that's fair to say though, given that I can't imagine the UFC becoming what it is now without the Fertitta's NSAC connections playing a big role early on.

Different sports and it's just training and all that, but that video of Askren tooling the NCAA Div I champ makes this video of Marcelo toying with Askren even more impressive.

Hello lables and jurormen, I am of course your defendant, the policecop said I was over the limit and here in a minute I am going to show you that this is literally impossible for that to have happened *stammers on for four more minutes before shotgunning a case of O'Doul's*

You see I have a broken skull and several slipped vertebrae and so I had drink to kill the pain but I'm a warrior so of course I drove and like a warrior I was determined to go out on my shield and also if you fine me I can't pay my training partners.

Bean Fried posted:

The problem is that Ali Abdel-Aziz, who isn't even a great promoter, is also the matchmaker while also having a day job as a fighter manager (albeit mostly for some UFC fighters), and he's loving horrible at actually using the whole roster. This has led to numerous notable talents retiring because of lack of fights (Din Thomas, Gilbert Yvel, Jorge Santiago, and Gerald Harris off the top of my head). They burned through their entire Welterweight division before making a title match between Josh Burkman and Steve Carl, and did the same thing at BW before Marlon Moraes tried to win.

They've managed to piss away their HW and LHW divisions both into utter states of disarray.

They've signed Ashley Evans-Smith after she beat Fallon Fox, but have signed no one for her to fight. Their women's Strawweight division is utterly hosed should Jessica Aguilar lose.

He has the matchmaking skills of a slightly above-average Sherdog fantasy-booker and the same level of tact to boot.

If Guillard doesn't win against JZ, watch AAA forget that he even exists.

Does WSOF not run shows in the US? Cuz my understanding is that being a promoter/manager violates the Muhammad Ali Act.

Nobody's sure if it even applies to MMA, nobody has the money or the inclination (yet) to go to court to find out, and nobody's ever been prosecuted under the act anyway.

Of course.

That said, Kathy Duva just filed suit alleging Al Haymon violates the act, so we may have a first.

Incidentally, I wonder how many people have noticed that ONEFC could also stand for ONE FAILED CAREER. At this rate" "ONEFC after another" would probably be a more appropriate name for the organization.

Maybe ONE FC is more financially promising than I assumed, or maybe Manny Pacquiao simply will not stop being an irresponsible dipshit with his money. Either way, he bought a stake in it.
