If there was a male fighter the equivalent of holly holm. He would of been signed 12 months ago.
Ben askrin probably deserves a shot in the ufc, so dana needs to not let personal relations interfere with the sport
Locking out Canadians on YouTube is ridiculous. Tom Wright needs to fix that shit.
Canada's population is what, 1/10 of 'merica's? Add in illegals and I'm sure that margin grows.
However, Canadians love their MMA and pay more for PPV events. The UFC makes a fuck ton of money from Canadians.
But whenever I click and I'm linked to a video that has been locked regionally, I'm a bit closer to just buying VPN access and never paying for another PPV again. It
shows a disregard for the fan base.
Rest of that shit:
Insert Colin Powell meme about not reading all that shit. 'Cause I ain't.
If you are too dumb to figure out how to get around a simple region lock, that should let you know how intelligent the rest of your ideas are. By the way, the answer is Hola.
1. Dont ban all facial hair
2. Bring back knees and stomps
3. Make eye poking or grabbing the fence a one warning rule. One warning, after that you lose a point
4. Yellow cards for stalling
5. Eliminate standups
6. Allow TRT
7. Give Jose Aldo the proper respect and probably money too. Look at his last 10 opponents!
8. Eliminate the 12-6 elbow rule
9. Immediate rematches should not occur when a stoppage occurs, only decision.
10. Just have fun and follow his heart.
"9) Giving Shogun a fair fight with Hendo!!! (no trt please)"
Oh lord...
pay Diaz.
NarlyPersianDude - good post Vinny, I agree with you.I agree too but he singled me for busting his chops.
#1 should be shut the fuck up
Doesn't Aldo make $250,000 with PPV
If he wants to make more, maybe he ought to make people actually want to see his fights.
Sign Ben Askren needs to be on the list
Laslo Holyfeld - Sign Ben Askren needs to be on the list.
potato623 - Doesn't Aldo make $250,000 with PPVNo no no. It's all Dana's fault. Even though the bulk of Aldo's money is tied to pay per view sales, for some reason it's not his job to help promote the fight.
If he wants to make more, maybe he ought to make people actually want to see his fights.
Aldo disappears immediately after his fights and isn't really heard from during training camp. He doesn't have the luxury of built in fan support like a GSP or a Nick Diaz.
Maybe he just wants to be a fighter and not do the PR stuff (like learning a foreign language) which is totally in his right. However, if you are only willing to do the minimum required amount of pre-fight hype and not bring anymore money to the table, why would you expect your partner to pay you any more than they are required?

You need Dana White to hype you up for a Jose Aldo fight?
Weren't people in tears on this board about how UFC 169 sucked and they weren't going to buy it? And these are the "hardcore" fans of the sport, so think of a casual fans view.
What does Dana have to do better to promote the guy that he isn't doing now? I see a lot of people say this, but offer no solutions.
