Why the hate on Bloody Elbow?

Every UFC event, I always put in a google search for “UFC predictions bloody elbow” and see the fight predictions for the card. Now I take some of them with a grain of salt but it’s like 3-5 people writing predictions for each (atleast main card depending on event) fight. If nothing else, if fills in gaps before I place bets etc.

Now I know about the curse of Bloody Elbow all picking the same fighter to win and shit but is there an alternative? I think they do a pretty good job.

They are the Vox of MMA media.

Utterly woke bullshit.

Also they knowingly employed a pedo for quite some time and only got rid of him when people raised hell about it.

Honestly any site that gives Zidan a fucking platform is trash.

I like Mmajunkie, mmaweekly … and even the articles at sherdog are at least readable.

Lots of hot garbage otherwise.

Got it. I’m totally against Woke culture but only go there for fight card predictions. Never the articles.

Fuck’em but I’ll prob still go to see who they predict will win the fights since no one else puts any correspondence together.

several of the mma media people really changed when they got some traction… i feel like it is wide open out there for a few really good mma analysts / journalists who actually care about the sport and understand it

i know i am not that person, i just like to talk about the fights with other fans, but i sure would like some folks to step up … some like Mr Swick are posting more interesting content and I really like the idea of retired fighters filling this role

Also…

This place (historically) is woke AF (every fucking Elias article) but we still cum here!

I honestly never even read the articles on this site I am here strictly for the forums.

Actually I do read the stuff Kirik posts on this side.

I know I am politically opposite of the folks who run the place but for the most part they seem to allow people to actually talk which is better than other social media.

Very true and I appreciate that.

I don’t use their website, but I follow them on Twitter. Whenever I’m working nights and can’t watch a card their play by play updates are immediate. This place and sometimes Sherdog are all I use for websites/apps. But MMA Junkie and MMA Fighting have pretty good podcasts that I like

The only reason anyone is here is the forum. They could cut his fake “journalist” job and website traffic would be the exact same. In fact they could never publish anything on the front page again and it’d be the same.

haha I thought they had smelled the coffee as he hadn’t had any articles up for a while that I saw. checked out today and there is this fresh SJW masterpiece

I mean, come on now… associating UFC with conspiracy theories and hard-right wingers. there was absolutely no need to add the word socialist in that article. what an absolute cunt.

bloody elbows coinage is being debased, they are fucking nose-diving reputationally, and paying this pussy to make sure it’s done thoroughly. insane. the guy has no place in this sport.

Holly shit the comment section of that place is worse than reddit. 30+ comments on that article and literally every single one is some variation of an extreme leftist caricature. Lmao

I don’t make a habit of visiting that website but I’ve seen some good articles that they have done on CTE and fighters with ties to organised crime.

I hope so. He is very good at trolling. Gotta give credit to that level of dedication to a role.

They’ve put out some good stuff over the years that cover different aspects of the fight industry, but unfortunately, like many others, they themselves got infatuated with becoming the stars of their own show and went the route of SJW and started drawing these strange, completely unrelated political parallels into everything.

It’s fucking cage fighting, people.

Their coverage of actual fighting is basically non-existent. The only content they really put out are just social and political pieces that involve figures in the MMA world.

Karim Zidan in particular is the writer their I despise the most. He’s the p4p Bloody Elbow woke champion.
