For those who don't want to watch the video: Looks like Dana is holding her wrist, she gets free and slaps him. Dana strikes back several times. Most of what I read made me believe it was just one simple slap each, no way.

Shumagorath posted:CBC News picked up Dana’s Wife Power Slap, and the last time they paid attention to MMA was Elias Theodorou’s death. Hopefully that’s an indication the story has enough reach and staying power to nudge Dana into retirement. At most Dana will disapear for 6-12 months.

Snowman_McK posted:I would say that the baseline level of actual fights is loving excellent ATM. I've lost count of the number of genuinely excellent fights that, a few years ago, would have been championship bouts but now are featured prelims or just a prelim. The level of talent and ability has simply skyrocketed. It's also true that by a large number of metrics, it's a loving awful, carny sport that is going backwards. The UFC had medical insurance for everyone like ten years ago. I'm pretty sure it was 2012 or so that a huge number of fights got cancelled by fighters getting treatment for long term injuries that happened 'in camp' because the insurance meant they could finally afford it. Also, we used to have our concerns about fighter pay assuaged by court cases where the UFC showed that, actually, they'd paid Rampage or Randy insane amounts of money, now it's some dipshit like Jake Matthews going 'actually, I can afford two cars and a house so everything is fine' or Terrence McKinney, whoever the gently caress that is, calling everyone with concerns ignorant. Or just blithe assurances that Conor made everyone better paid, when you can see that he didn't even necessarily get his opponents better paid (his fight with Cowboy was Cowboy's least well paid fight that year) From what I understand, UFC's medical insurance only covers injuries you get DURING a fight. It was one reason people were accepting fights with broken knees or whatever, they were trying to hide it, so that they could later claim they got injured in the fight.

Mr. Nice! posted:I don’t watch anything ufc live anymore and just catch finishes the next day from alternative sources. I’m so soured by dana white’s horseshit that I’m struggling even to do that. I'm pretty close to that. I watch about 4-6 events a year. This last event crowned a new LHW champion, and it was my first time watching him fight. I am able to separate the art from the artist, so to speak. The UFC has just done a horrible job creating new stars that I care about, that and the fact that I know these guys aren't getting paid jack poo poo.

Hill's wins are legit, I'm just saying he shouldn't be called "undisputed champion" when in fact he never fought the previous champion, or the champion of Bellator (who has a serious argument for being higher ranked p4p than Hill) Hill is a title holder.

Just like the winner of Jones vs Gane won't be champion, they will be a title holder. Its becoming boxing.

You can't just pick two guys, one who had the belt recently in the past, and call the winner Undisputed Champion.

CarlCX posted:Realistically, Jon Jones hosed the 205-pound title lineage so bad that there hasn't been a 'real' champion since he held it, so you kind of just need to accept it and reset the clock anyway. I'd say it was the combo of Jones moving up, and a few top 10 lhws leaving the UFC. We now have more than one "real" belt that are legit. Just like with Strikeforce or Pride, when they combined with the UFC we got to see who the REAL champ was. At heavyweight, no matter how impressive Jones (or Gane I guess) looks at heavyweight, he's not the "real" champion until he beats Ngannou

I'm not even talking about lineal champ. I'm saying, when you look at 205lb MMA fighters, who is the best? You can't 100% say its the UFC champion because Bellator's champ has a legit argument that he is better.

Oh and for those who don't follow boxing, you aren't called "Undisputed Champion" unless you hold all four major belts. I'd call Bellator's LHW a legit belt at this point, so there would be two major LHW belts. Also whereever Ngannou ends up would be a legit heavyweight belt, so again, two legit major belts. When someone releases their title/belt, I think they make the top 4 (?) fighters complete to become new champ. At least that is what they did when Canelo moved up.
