This vaults him right into title contention and reaffirms the controversial UFC vs. CondomDepot.com verdict of 2009 at the same time. Am I a crazy person or has Khabilov not actually fought for a month, and he lost that fight?

Chael Sonnen said a lot of poo poo to promote fights, who cares. Anderson Silva doesn't care anymore, Shogun doesn't care. If you care about that stuff you're on the same level of Wandy, and then you should reassess your life.

Mike Dolce is mad that fighters are paying managers too much, which leaves not enough money for himMike Dolce posted:"These managers are charging the athletes 20 percent," Dolce said, "just to answer a phone call from Joe Silva to get one opponent's name, to then call the athlete and say, you're fighting Johnny So-and-So. And then the manager then takes 20 percent out of that. And then the athlete doesn't have enough money to pay for a world-class coaching staff that will properly prepare them ..." Mike Constantino of MVC Management posted:I take great offense to that as a manager. That is as much as a blanket statement as someone saying, "Who needs a diet guru? Go do an internet search." http://www.mmafighting.com/2014/7/1/5861698/manager-fires-back-at-mike-dolce-for-recent-comments

I'm fairly sure that fighters would likely struggle to put in the time needed to train and arrange sponsorship deals, as well as things like finding and getting special sparring partners in for camps all by themselves. I think the managers do more for their clients than Dolce thinks they do.

I think any time there's someone with talent making money, it's natural for crowds of people to attach themselves like leeches hoping for a cut. Having said that, if a manager can influence the company to the degree that they're paying a fighter in excess of 20% more than they would have if he was unrepresented (or badly represented) then they've earned their money. I'd imagine a good manager will get you considerably more prize money, sponsorship and more favourable match-ups than a Mike Kogan. I'd be surprised if a dietician is on a percentage rather than a flat fee, and I'd like to see them try to justify it.

The Chael news sucks but as was already posted he'll be fine. Also people mad at him saying things to hype a fight must have never watched pro wrestling where there is literally a 'hate on everyone who isn't an american' heel character doing the a worse schtick than Chael in 2014 but because it's a pro wrestling character nobody worries about it. Fight hype Chael is completely different than post-fight press conference Chael. It's all an act. It's weird to me when people can't separate characters from the actual people but I guess that means it's working.

The thing that separates Zeb Colter and his stable and Chael Sonnen is that there's an understanding that everything that's said in the WWE is purely fictional as a rule and these are actors playing a character on a scripted TV show. Obviously, we all know Sonnen was playing a character too for all intents and purposes, but the first time it wasn't really so cut and dry immediately and it's not especially something you'd expect from a fighter and that made it more personal. After that, everyone knows that he's just being Sonnen. Wanderlei is an idiot for taking it seriously after Sonnen had been doing it for so long, but in the build up to the first Anderson fight, I can see why people would be upset at him.

What Chael does moving forward is going to be pretty obvious once we see how Dana reacts to the situation. If he's overly dismissive and gives him no real sign of a possible future then you could expect him to pursue other avenues. I can't imagine they would really completely sever ties since he's such a valuable personality, as much as I can't stand him. -Atom- fucked around with this message at 20:43 on Jul 1, 2014 |

Mr. Carlisle posted:The Chael news sucks but as was already posted he'll be fine. It's not about being mad at him. Just because you're trying to sell more tickets for something it doesn't give you carte blanche to say or do whatever you like. If you tell a racist joke, you are by definition a racist. You can say "I'm only joking!" at the end, but that doesn't alter the fact that you are a racist. It doesn't prey on my mind or keep me up at night, I encounter racism pretty much every day and I couldn't give a poo poo if some guy who lives thousands of miles away from me that I'll never meet is a racist. The only issue I have is that his comments get airtime and there's plenty of impressionable young people out there that see him as a sporting hero, when he normalises that sort of language it has a pretty significant negative impact. But whatever, it's just an act.

I have no idea if he's truly a racist or not, but he's apparently had nice things to say about Brazilians and Brazil when he's dropped the act. It's your right to find such tactics tasteless, but it's not necessarily any more indicative of the man's true opinions than a actor's racist diatribe in a movie would be.
