Heh, that statement does look awkward standing alone.lukethedrifter wrote:I'm curious what you mean.Tambourine Man wrote:clevername wrote:

I didn't mean to take it out of context. I figured that's what you meant and I suppose it's all relative but I think boxing is about as brutal a sport as should be acceptable in a modern society.Tambourine Man wrote:Heh, that statement does look awkward standing alone.lukethedrifter wrote:I'm curious what you mean.Tambourine Man wrote:clevername wrote:

For sanctioned sports that invole people trying to kill the other people occupying the same small area, boxing is tame. MMA has been dumbed down just to remain legal. It'll make headlines again as the popularity grows.
I really don't understand what M-1 is thinking...it seems that whenever Dana and the UFC make concessions, they continually ask for more. Fedor is great, but it's not worth giving up 50% of your ENTIRE company. That's just ridiculous IMO. Personally, I don't really care if Fedor comes to the UFC. This kind of stuff only keeps the Fedor hype even larger (and with good reason).thrill wrote:Why the UFC-Fedor deal broke down: http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news;_ylt=A ... &type=lgns
News of the Fedor Emelianenko signing filtered out around 12:20 p.m. ET. It's safe to say UFC president Dana White heard about it almost immediately even though he's dealing with business Abu Dhabi. Nice job by Strikeforce to prevent any leaks and spring this on us with zero warning. It's a great signing by Strikeforce. White worked hard and with a very open attitude on signing the world's No. 1 heavyweight but Scott Coker beat him to the punch:
"I'm in Abu Dhabi right now and my reaction is Fedor is a [expletive] joke," White told Cagewriter saying he was unavailable for Monday interview on ESPNRadio1100 at 2:40 p.m. ET. "[He] turns down a huge deal and the opportunity to face the best in the world to fight nobodies, for no money. Fedor is a [expletive]."
UPDATE: White followed up with a text at 5:32 p.m. ET:
"I feel sorry for the real fans! I wanted to make the deal but it takes two and it is VERY obvious Fedor doesn't want to fight the best and doesn't give a [expletive] about the fans."
like everything, ufc isnt perfect but i really hate dana white.thrill wrote:Liking fighting and not liking the UFC is akin to liking cars and hating Ferrari's.
