Yeah UFC starts slow every year. He'll be back on deck for the next big card as if nothing ever happened and the media will just throw softball questions about the sport at him.

This is correct. I personally will continue to watch dodgy streams of men beating the crap out of eachother.

my watching of those dodgy streams has really fallen off, and i wish i could say its because i have a deeply principled moral core and could not allow myself to continue enjoying this blasphemous sport full of terrible folk. but really i'm just losing interest in watching people beating each other up. the ufc and i had a good run. many thanks to conor mcgregor for being annoying and constant enough that i was forced to watch the UFC, and eventually find other fighters who were much cooler and more dominant

In only the most tangentially related news, former mma fighter Dillon Danis had backed out of his fight with KSI, apparently because he couldn’t make weight and hadn’t prepared.

That may just be the last we hear of him tbh.

For all of Bellator's many flaws, at least they try fun stuff sometimes. Grand Prixes, fighters getting to wear dumb costumes, cross-promotional stuff. I would like to see that continue, instead of UFC just gobbling up another organization and making everything the same

Allegedly Dana’s not so much the day-to-day negotiator and big boss anymore, that role has been filled by Hunter Campbell, their Chief Business Officer who also writes the contracts due to his legal background. Hints of this came about from his comments about Shane Burgos’ contract lapsing.

A very divisive character in his own right because he’s not only a hardass, but a legally wise hardass with regards to actually paying human beings to fight. Read: this is not praise, apparently he’s a ginormous prick as well of course.

Dana’s just the figurehead who loves to be the target and start poo poo with people. Even if Dana takes less of a public stance on things after this, poo poo’s still gonna suck.

I’ve seen it personally before in fighters I know and love, and have had to cut all contact with because of their bizarre and erratic behaviour. It’s not an excuse but I totally can see it being a reason. It’s very scary.

I've heard from a few people in the past he was extremely erratic in his behaviour for a little while now. Including prone to lashing out physically either smashing poo poo or trying to fight his training partners. Even once I heard he took a swing at a fan at a casino once.

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

This actually seems like a downgrade for his career. There were surely a couple more con job fights he could win and get paid on.
But certainly putting money where his mouth is on bringing up fighter pay.

Not that I know from experience, being a cage potato but I think this kind of change in attitude is what happens when you get beat up on every day by better people than you when you're training for fights. It all rubs off.

Logan released a response video a few days ago. Drama and schadenfreude here abound. Penguinz0 has been covering it too if you prefer his deadpan style of commentary.
