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.

if he retires, dana will just have more time to indulge in his hobbies, chief among them appears to be spousal abuse

Dana White will insist he will be at the UFC card that evening while still in lock up and not arraigned.

What is the composition of wrestling fans in terms of awareness of and sympathy for CTE? Iow, are they more or less disdainful about slapping vs the average (yuck) mma fan?

Very very high awareness given that Chris Benoit is the direct point to point at for when CTE was starting to be taken seriously.

Remember when Dana took everyone's sponsors away for Reebok because he wanted to clean up the sport and make it look less like NASCAR? Good times

Now now that wasn't Dana, that was the Fertitta's because it would look good for pumping the price up as they planned to sell. Worked too and I still miss condom depot and dynamic fastener.

Alpha Nail was the dumbest branding and set back that guys with nail polished are cool and getting your nails done is fun because they made it into a bro-thing.

Jeez Louise, you missed the main point of their branding.
It's Xyience. DON'T ASK ME ABOUT THE I.

I'm not even sure to this day what it is!

He'll back then one of the main sponsors was Muscle Pharm which just declared bankruptcy and I'm fairly sure was just a steroid front.

What did they do to get a harsher treatment than the one that literally had “reich” in the name?

From what I can find they straight up didn't pay UFC for their logo in events and suggestions they weren't paying the fighters wearing their sponsorship either.

Prime energy drink is the one that people over here in the UK have been going feral over, selling for upwards of Ł10 a bottle and as high as Ł100 for a crate. Barely flavoured coconut water, apparently.

KSI and Paul are also conspicuously not actually ingesting the drink on any of the adverts.

UFC adjavent but i remember when Gracie Breakdown was a thing and they tried to hard push Acai and coconut water, and the sterility of coconut water, not mentioning it tastes horrible
