The UFC is controlled completely by politics directed by profit, but they have the best Talent overall so I will watch it.
Lol, Palma always with the kind words.

Anyway I disagree with the statement "they treat their talent like shit," because thay don't treat everyone like shit, some fighters get the full pampering (deserved or not). They do treat some fighters like crap though I'm not saying they dont. Also the UFC has dumped a significant amount into production,expansion, and promotion of the sport directly out of pocket. I'm sure it's about money, but I don't think its only about money they have setup some fan demanded, and incredible sleeper matches.

I don't think that many people really hate the UFC. There are from time to time things the UFC does that don't seem to be in the best interest of MMA as a whole. These things can only be discussed in a negative way. And yes, some people will discuss this objectively, and others will say things in a more destructive manner. I don't think there are many though that will argue about the UFC putting on great shows and bringing MMA to new places. It has done a fantastic job marketing MMA. It needs discussions like these to help it continue in the right direction. I think we have all seen that some decisions have been made clearly because enough bitching across the boards.
I think the majority of people wishing good talent would jump ship, is not so much to hurt the UFC, but to hope for a truly competitive org that may drive further positive changes in the sport like cross-promotion etc. I don't think you can really be an MMA fan and hate the UFC as a whole.

Additionally Dana white should be replaced after everything he's done because all that cursing is a real downer man and makes him very difficult to relate to.
And anybody who disagrees with me is an idiot and need to get the fucking dick out of their ass.
Aww... did I hurt your feelings? Get your tampon out of your mouth and be direct if you want to bitch about something. Passive agressive bitching is the cowards way of confrontation.

I didn't mean to imply they treat every fighter like shit... you are totally correct that they pamper and shelter certain fighters.

My opinion that they are concerned with money is just that... my opinion.

I completely agree that they are about money, I was just adding I don't think thats all. I think on some level Dana and the Ferttitas are fans.

I think the Ferttitas are on some level, but honestly believe Dana is a fan of himself and Rob Emerson.

Your negative energy is confusing you. Your name calling and insults are a crutch for your ignoranance. You have no argument, which makes it less than interesting to genuinely confront you. I don't argue with children, I entertain them.

Don't bother.

You are waging a battle that you cannot win.
