But also, calm down and rationally look at this guy's fuck up and give him a chance to make it right. I think the point has been made and lay out exactly what will happen to fighters who cross the lines of good taste in a public manner in the future instead of burning one guy at the stake to make the point. Don't arbitrarily bring the hammer down and make everyone walk on egg shells , but lay down some pretty basic standards from here on out and make the consequences pretty point black and clear.
sgotwalks -Dougie -sgotwalks - Why have they not drawn up an official UFC Constitution
Because there is no consistancy in the promotion. One guy can do something and if another guy does the same thing then the outcome is different. If there was a constitution then it would force them to treat all fighters equally.
Exactly, and it is what will forever keep this organization from attaining the same level of respect as the other major sports organizations. It's unfortunate, but it is also ridiculous and inexplicable. I want Cindy O ro respond to to my constitution post on page 2 rather than posts about who called which reporter a cunt. Why not a code of conduct which applies to all with consistent punishments to all who offend? Enough is enough when it comes to Dana acting impulsively and with no consistency when real people (fighters) livelihoods are at stake. <br type="_moz" />
So let me understand this correctly. Dana doesn't find this sort of humor funny but it airs on the FX network which is fox owned. Sounds like Dana needs to watch what he says as well.
Fillthy - Sometimes rape jokes are funny: What's the best part about taking a shower with a 10 year old girl? You can slick her hair back and pretend she's a 10 year old boy.
As I don't have children, it's funny. My brother has a litter of girls, so to him it's not funny. He didn't even smile a little bit.
The meaningful question is - would I get fired at work for telling it? Yes. Is it fair that the dudes that are bromancing the boss get to tell jokes that would get you fired? No. UFC was probably looking for a reason to cut Torres because TUF has given them stacked divisions of low cost talent, and they're not going to overpay MT to can-crush. I hope Miguel is back, soon, but when he returns it'll be for a contract much for favorable to UFC and their divisions.
Well said.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Dana say he was going to offer a reward for the most outlandish twitter comment at the end of the year? 
Always liked him, pity how his UFC career ended.
This has got to be a ploy designed to get the public to pay more attention to the lighter weight classes. If they bring Miguel back in less than 6 months and he never fights in a rival org during that time period, I’ll be convinced.
If it isn’t, Lorenzo needs to curb the Shmoo and get him off the cocaine.

Right around 4:32 is where it starts.
My thoughts:
Dana has said some dumb, regrettable stuff. We ALL do. I know the Pope has said some stuff he regrets. That is human nature.
I can't help but think of the whole "Those in glass houses should not throw stones" proverb in this situation.
Given the example above, Dana used a derogatory remark that started a firestorm in the media. Did he regret it? Yes. Did he apologize? Yes. (However, not to Loretta)
I agree there needs to be some consitency. Lots of fan were left shaking there heads with this one, including me.

Dana says (about UFC fighters) "We're dealing with smart guys." Correct, Dana, you are dealing with smart guys. The fighters, however, are not. The fighters are dealing with Dana, who is not a smart guy. He is a boxercise instructor who went to high school with two billionaires and knows how to kiss ass. And expects his fighters to know how to kiss ass as well as he had to.
CindyO - Not sure if serieux?Not sure if that was the outburst that was referenced for the C*** comment in the original post...I was posting the link since that was the only outburst that I recall of Dana vs an MMA journalist. He may not have used that exact expression, but that was the worst that I was aware of when he called someone a F*got and the resulting media storm. But my point in posting the link was more to point out that we all have moments when we say something that is regrettable. But looking at how it's posted that isn't not clear since I failed to include the offending remark I was referring to. My apologies.
Not sure you know what you're talking about because he didn't call her a C in the link you provided. Did you posted the wrong one? If so, my apologies when you post the correct one.

... is Dana not giving out $5k a month to the fighters with the most views, most new Followers on Twitter.
Would this not be a good stunt?? He is just playing the game the same way Chael is playing it...??
Controversy attracts attention
