Brut posted:Wait what? Doesn't Endeavor own a ton of random poo poo, why would them buying WWE specifically somehow directly merge it with UFC? Like even UFC is technically a double subsidiary because there's Zuffa in between (not that this detail is meaningful in any practical sense). That part sounds like a misunderstanding.  when was the last time you saw the Zuffa logo during a PPV?Or not even PPV, when was the last time you saw that Zuffa logo?

crepeface posted:i'm inviting a bunch of casuals to the UFC easter weekend, how likely is it to be a snorefest? people know of masvidal from the 3 second knockout, but he's going to be wrestlefucked right? The whole main card should be above average / exciting. Israel Adesanya will win a decision if he doesn't get KO'd Gilbert Burns will KO Masvidal

Dana White never really ran UFC ever. Dana is more the face of the operation, doing a bit of the match making and contract negations. But whenever they were having trouble with signing a fighter, Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta would step in and make the deals happen, this was before the Endeavor purchase. Now Hunter Campbell probably does most of the important stuff. Dana has always been more of a public spokesperson for the company. Like a mascot.

Marching Powder posted:speaking of judging i was interested to see how the judging has evolved by re-watching condit / hendricks. on the actual night i had hendricks winning and agreed with the judges. i re-watched that thing and hendricks did gently caress all with his top control and i gave the fight to condit accordingly. this could also be my hosed up brain but i don't think so. I think the judging rules changed two years ago or thereabouts? Damage is now the primary judging criteria. The change was suppose to make 10-8 rounds more common, but everyone seems to be ignoring that. Octagon control, damage, and position used to be judged equally if I remember correctly. Hah! It was changed 6 years ago, Condit v Hendricks was 10 years ago: https://bloodyelbow.com/2017/01/02/2017-unified-rules-10-8-judging-criteria-explained-hinds-bell-mma-interview/

Unperson_47 posted:Jorge crawled all the way up inside Trump's rear end during his post-fight interview and barely got a Let's Go Brandon chant going in Florida of all places. It was pitiful in a way. He also said something like "our governor is great too", but I don't think he said desantis's name, "lets keep florida free, lets keep it red" Joe Rogan had this HUGE poo poo eating grin the whole speech.

Come on PSP! Our pastime is watching people get brain trauma, CTE, a lifetime of cognitive decline, and broken bones and broken bodies. We give money to men who hit their spouses and have 20+ sexual misconduct payouts. But making jokes about killing billionaires? NOW you've crossed the line. Knock it off!

BlindSite posted:He had 18 fights cancelled over his career and only I think three or four of them were his fault. Two for weight/illness/whatever and the other two were because his kid got sick. At some points he was almost homeless and having to borrow money off coaches and family etc to cover medical bills because every single time he was due a pay day for like a year the bout fell through. I'm wondering if he got a decent payout from Conor (something like $500,000), and actually having money took his drive away.
