I'm an old-school, hardcore MMA fan, but I'm not in love with computer culture. That said, what do you tech-savvy folks think would be the best way to really communicate dissatisfaction to the UFC?
I'm thinking about the Nate Diaz cut from the rankings situation - for those of us who really feel this is gross, how can we pressure the UFC to behave the way we want them to?
On the UG, I've signed petitions, started petitions, commented on threads, VU, etc. etc. but is that really an effective way of shaking up the UFC decision makers? I don't think so.
I don't twitter or facebook, but do y'all think that has more power maybe?
It would be great if there was a way for fans to really inundate the UFC with our complaints when need be, truly showing how we feel. Their bottom line is pleasing the fans (which equals money for them) so how do we effectively demonstrate our displeasure?
I'd love to get sincere feedback - we're the fans, we pay for and support MMA - we need a voice that has influence!

Twitter. @danawhite Used to work anyway. A couple times I've had fights announced shortly after requesting them that way, both fell through with injury :(

Signed.
it's true i could stop buying it (would free streaming be an act of defiance?) but that doesn't help me (or anyone) get what they want!
If it was worded in manifesto perhaps (We won't buy X ppv unless you do X), but the method of delivery is either a site like this, twitter or facebook i guess.
Joeymarvelous says twitter's the way and he's probably right. Maybe i should get on that shit.
I'm gonna look into seeing if there's some complaints dept. on the UFC website - it'd be great to have an email address or something!
thanks
I find a threatening mail correspondence, composed of letters cut from various magazines and glued to the paper forming words and thoughts usually does the trick...
The Acorn -Belfort vs Belcher was the most recent (sounded like a good idea at the time) and I can't remember the other.Joeymarvelous - Twitter. @danawhite Used to work anyway.

The best way, in my humble opinion, is to head up the Zuffa Offices, once outside:
> Pull Pants Down
> Begin To Cry
> Defecate
> Set Fire To It
> Assume Foetal Position
> Fap
It's the only way they'll listen, man.
