Christ...can you guys be anymore obvious with your one-sided reporting and writing? We just saw a great fight and Bellator put on a strong card so you make this about the controversy of Eddies contract from months ago. Can you guys try...just try to be a credible place for news? Don't give me your crap that no one here cares about Bellator news stories and events because people bitch about this every week.
I still do not get it, can Alvarez sue if bellator does not hold a PPV?
So from what I gather is Bellator had an option to match a competing offer, so UFC put a PPV matching clause in. The whole court case was that Bellator had no way to match this offer but in the end bellator promised it might put on a PPV so Alvarez was stuck with Bellator.
So I get bellator is claiming they still will do PPV but if they do not, can Alvarez walk saying breach of contract?
ThickS0lid N Right -Kirik -Hey Kirk how did the UG blog about Bellator stack up to the last few ufc event threads .. I'm curiousFrobenius - Well, I wonder which side UG news is on.
Is there a single person on the UG that thinks the identically written contracts were, in fact, identical? if so, please make the case.
Also the image of Diaz was not intended to be a dig at him, at all. It was a reference to Diaz's complaints that with the income he was making, he was driving around in an old Accord. He would not presumably have been making the same complaints if he was driving a Ferarri.

Is that the afternoon UFC event?
What are numbers for primetime events, lets say UFC 166.
Chris27 -This.. All the fighters he's done wrong? It'll come back pretty bad.
This shit is just stupid, Dana should shut up because karma can come back and bite him in the ass.

The views data I have extends only to the 1st of each month, so I don't have exact figures. The view count is how Chris and I see who is ahead in the great eyeball hunt. He always loses, except for once in the last eight months. This is because he is short.

By contrast, views for a UFC PPV are in the 60k-100k range, BUT that is not until say Tuesday, so too early to make direct comparison. Bellator will maybe end up being 1/2-1/3 the size of a UFC PPV. Also, both the top two Bellator stories were heroed, which generally adds 50-100% to views.
DTAlexONE -Eddie has one more fight on his contract, most likely w chandler for trilogy. He stuck it to bellator because chandler was their undefeated poster boy. Bjorn no doubt wanted chandler to win, If eddie had lost he coulda signed w ufc but hed be coming off a loss so he wouldnt be able to get as much $.
Can someone please explain how Eddie might stick it to Bellator and fam?
If he's under contract and their champion now, how will he able to leave?
Nick Diaz is awesome.
Kirik -Hey thanks for the response! I was alil disheartened when I saw the lack of Bellator stuff an more so when you said it's based on our views :(... I can understand the Halloween stuff cause hey mishas ass or Seth's costumes are always fun. But being an mma fan is like being a dinosaur these days. I did have another question tho why was the discussion unstickied?

I get that Eddie is a popular guy and all that but why are people not fans of Chandler? The guy brings it.
In addition I just checked out his site www.blessedthreads.com and the charity stuff he does is amazing. Lots of kids with cancer have pics holding the belt etc. great guy so it seems

Discussions are unstickied when the event is over, unless it is some huge PPV.

Belatore was at 8pm
Huge difference

Doesn't matter, Kirik told us the UG news covers what the people want, I would assume UFN got way more coverage on the UG news compared to Bellator especially before Friday night
And the UG ran one piece (maybe 2) on Bellator before Prettyboys post and we complained on a Friday night, also that vid they posted didn't even work on the app
So according to UG news logic UFN should have done way more than Bellator 106 because that's what the people wanted and no one cared about Bellator
Anyway, Bellator did 3 times the posts and 16,000+ views than UFN
I support UFC and Bellator both, but in a Dana vs Bjorn match it's Dana all the way. Bjorn seems like that little passive aggressive puke from high school. He's boring as shit, and is honestly no where close to the promoter Dana is.
But fuck that, bring on Alvarez Chandler III !
Plus throw in that all UFC events get created and stickied early, they also are stickied over the weekend after the event
Bellator gets the stickied right before the event (if they even remember) and gets unstickied right after the fights are over, the numbers are so skewed in favor of the UFC that it looks like this much higher number than it should be
But I don't expect much from Kirik, he keeps posting numbers about thread that are 8 hours or more older amd says "See they get more views! " lol, oh, than calls you dumb

Thats not true at all Liquidrob and you know it.
There was like 4 UFC in a row not long ago that no event thread was stickied until the main prelims on tv began. FryedTakayama had to start discussion threads for them.
That happened like 4 shows in row, they didnt seem to count facebook prelims as being worthy of an official discussion thread.
Now it seems to have been better since then but every UFC event isnt stickied days before the event starts.
Generally UFCs are created ans stickied much earlier than Bellators, I think you would agree
Bellator sometimes doesn't even get a thread or stickied, UFCs get left over the weekend and they cant unstick Bellators fast enough it seems
Just be honest like in the past when I asked the question amd the response was "we take care of those who take care of us", all this spinning by Kirik is getting silly

Thank you.
Are you saying an event that happens in the AM on a Saturday where most if the viewing audience have children to take care of's numbers should be on par with an event at a normal time of 8pm?
Also look at the fight card, it had bellatores TOP fighters on it. UFN had machida.
Mma fans arn't stupid. We have learned to not watch absolute shit cards.
Stea1th -
Who cares if people watch Bellator or UFC.
this fucking place is so annoying sometimes.
It's fucking mma. Can't we just discuss it without turning it into a war between 2 groups. I don't understand the point...
