Those who know me personally would all say I am a mellow individual, until you seriously cross me, ako, for instance, if you become the subject of an investigative report I’m working on, alebo sue me for $25 milión. Sometimes I may take things like that as a sign you might not want me to really find out who you are and what you do behind closed doors to screw hard working people over.
This week, a certain individual who won’t even let me follow him in Twitter (https://twitter.com/danawhite) pissed me off to the point where I could only think of one thing to do. Because I’m officially blacklisted in every possible way by the UFC brass, and have even had restraining orders placed against my directly contacting the Fertittas and ANY UFC fighter, my best option is to publish a drastic diatribe here I am just going to call my “OPEN FU” to Dana “Effing” White.
I’m sure Mr. White will not take my calls or subject himself to a one on one interview with me. Tak, I will have to settle for a written FU…and a multi-tiered and multi-purpose FU.
FU, Dana “Effing” White… for many, many reasons…too many for one small blog post to do justice, but let’s just say Most of all FU….
For what you THINK you know about Holly Holm…
Hej, Dana, you wanna talk about your “effing” reality show “Looking For a Fight????” I was actually looking for a fight when I watched that old reality “shit show” when you were supposed to box Tito Ortiz, but HE magically backed out at the last minute.
Teraz, you, DANA “EFFING” WHITE, are telling Holly Holm about a decision YOU think she didn’t think through enough??? And now you act like someone pissed in your Wheaties because you have two upset wins at UFC 196 to work around and figure out how to make sense of somehow.
Boo “effing” hoo, buddy.
Welcome to how things don’t go as planned sometimes in the fight business, you ungrateful prick.
Do you wanna be an “effing” Podporovateľ, Dana “effing” White???
Holly Holm Was the Bantamweight Champion of the UFC when she allowed HER Manager (not Dana “effing” White) to negotiate the Tate fight on her behalf, and she knew (and her long-time manager knew, tiež) what she was doing and what she wanted. And guess “effing” what, Dana? She wanted to fight.
Sorry, Dana “Effing” White, but Holly didn’t want to sit on an “effing” sideline waiting for Ronda Rousey to finish her “effing” ROADHOUSE REMAKE!
Holly wanted to go to work… but unfortunately she has to work for a boss who has no idea what it’s like to step into HER office and handle HER daily workload with such tenacity, trieda, dignity and grace.
And I think maybe she looks back a bit differently than you do, Dana, with no “effing” regrets whatsoever for putting her absolute all into that fight and just plain getting caught in her one area of weakness in a battle where she likely would have won a three-round fight. Maybe if YOU were a fighter, Dana, you might get that whole concept. Maybe losing in this case only makes her better, silnejší, and more durable as a career mixed martial artist. Who gives a damn if it makes her less marketable in your eyes? What do you really know, anyway?
UNLIKE YOU, Dana “Effing” White, Holly actually respects Miesha Tate and thought it would be a challenge to fight her. Jo, she lost, but damn, she was absolutely correct about it being a challenge. I think the fight will go down as one of the greatest battles in female MMA history.
Teraz, why don’t you open your “effing” eyes, Dana, watch the fight again, and quit bitching about what should have happened in that cage you never fought in yourself.
Be grateful you have a champion you just paid $92,000 in fight pay (before bonuses) to take your organization’s belt from the girl you WANTED TO WIN (and paid $500,000 just to be there). It may not be what you expected, but the anxiety you feel about it is what you DESERVE to feel for being such a douchebag to the fighters who built the UFC.
My biggest questions on this subject for Dana are: Why are you such a biased, crooked asshole who can’t bother to give Miesha the time of day FOR ALL HER HARD WORK? Why can’t you give credit where it is due…on both sides of that fight? Why can’t you shut the “eff” up about what you think Holly or her management should have or could have waited for?
It’s not your place to look back with 20/20 hindsight and act like Holly and her manager should have gone all Nostradamus on this fight when you obviously didn’t see this shit coming, či už, you dome-headed dimwit.
Fighters “effing” boj, Dana. That’s what they “effing” do, which you should know, since I am pretty sure you used to be an “effing” manager of MMA fighters yourself. Áno, that was many moons ago, but how could you forget?
Fighters don’t sit on their asses on corporate jets and stand at podiums in front of the press all day to earn the “effing” paltry paychecks your organization pays out to most of them. Most fighters simply cannot afford to wait around for shit to happen or for someone “worthy” enough in your eyes to step up and fight them.
Some fighters need to feed their kids. All of them need to pay their bills and for everything else involved with training camps, daily living expenses, travel and whatever costs medical insurance doesn’t cover when they have to address nagging injuries. Your shitty Reebok deal made it virtually impossible to get any other outside sponsors to help pay for anything like that stuff for many fighters, Dana.
Welcome to selling out and forgetting where you came from, Dana. You used to care more about fighters. Now you act like fighting in a cage is just like doing any other 9-5 práca. It’s not. To je “effing” hard work.
Tak, jo, Holly chose to fight instead of waiting for Rousey to be ready for the rematch. And you think she needs your opinion now that everything didn’t work out as planned for you both?
FU, Dana.
She hurts a lot worse than you, and I can guaran-effing-tee that.
Ach…a…mimochodom…fighters are way more responsible for the growth and success of the UFC/Zuffa organization than you ever have been. And that’s real talk, you rich bitch with a stick up your ass because you were never good enough in your life to ever have your own official fight.
Tak, get over the God complex and learn to respect ALL of your fighters, not just the ones you want to see win because you might think you can work with them better or you think they will move the organization in a better direction. Respect the effort, the sacrifice and the pain ALL your fighters go through each and every day to get where they get. That belt you put on Miesha’s waist was EARNED, and don’t you ever think it is “effing” cool to call the fact that Holly Holm had the guts to face Miesha Tate “a mistake.”
It rings hollow, especially when I would consider that handing you a microphone to talk about MMA at all was THE greatest mistake the sport ever made, obdobie! Anyone who would try to knock a former champion down a peg that way in his own organization does not deserve to be recognized as that organization’s president.
You have no clue what it’s really like to fight, and your criticism of Holly Holm tells me you can never possibly understand the mindset that led her to take the Tate fight and not wait an idle year for Ronda “effing” Rousey to be ready to appear at one of your precious shows.
Tak, FU Dana White for treating your former champ like she’s an idiot who doesn’t know how to control her own career without you butting your stupid, bald head into it. Holly’s fine without your advice, and she trusts her manager, which might be something you’re not familiar with, but for other people it is actually a reality of doing business with legitimate people.
FU, Dana for being a piss-poor ambassador for the sport, disrespecting fighters who bleed (and sometimes suffer lifelong injuries) for you and the sport, and totally underestimating and failing to grasp what it really takes to actually be a professional fighter who actually competes against other fighters…
Do you remember the days when you had to settle for being a lowly boxercise instructor because your boxing trainer Boston slapped you too hard in the ear once? You never had a single competitive fight in your life, Dana “effing” White, and that’s a DOCUMENTED FACT!
Do you ever even look back at those days before the silver-spoon-fed Fertittas helped you claw your greedy, selfish, egotistical ass into the position of OFFICIAL UFC MOUTHPIECE?
Do you remember those “hairy” days when you blew through $40 million of Fertitta funds to perpetrate the “Zuffa Myth” while claiming credit for the UFC brass singlehandedly legitimizing the sport and getting it regulated all by your “effing” selves? As if not a single FIGHTER nor any other industry professional who pioneered MMA before you dipped your greedy little paws into it had anything to do with it?
Your Mom remembers those “coulda been a contender” dni, Dana..when you thought you might be able to have an actual fight with another human being. Your own mother remembers even though you and one of your sleazy friends tried to silence her, BASH HER ONLINE, and even blacklist her BOOK, tiež.
Do you remember the days when even Floyd Mayweather, Jr. thought you were cool, back when your daily driver was an “effing” Honda, Dana? Floyd Remembers. He knew you long before you could afford to blow a normal person’s yearly pay on a single hand of poker.
You’re in a different place now, Dana “effing” White, and it’s a delusional place. Like on the distant planet you live on, people actually believe YOU really, poctivo, truly “effing” know what it’s ACTUALLY like to be an “effing” bojovník? Do you actually believe YOU somehow could ever REALLY know that feeling?
REALLY?
Viete what A FIGHTER is, don’t you, Dana? A fighter is a man or woman who has the courage to willingly step into unarmed combat against another actual man or woman instead of just criticizing up and down the guys and girls who do have the guts to actually stand across from another human being while knowing and internalizing that the accepted goal is to physically destroy each other.
A fighter, in more simple terms, je “one who fights.” And let’s be clear about one “effing” thing, Dana “effing” White, I know fighters, a YOU are no fighter.
You are nothing like a fighter, Dana “effing” White, and you never “effing” bude. You are too weak, both physically and mentally. Until we see you go through a six-week training camp and then get into the cage against someone and kick his ass, we shouldn’t have to listen to one damn “coulda,” “shoulda,” alebo “woulda” out of your cornfed mouth about what you think of any particular fighter’s performance or decision making process. Those people have the guts to do what you will NEVER do yourself, and you ought to respect that.
FU Dana White…For not recognizing Real Fighters Like Miesha Tate and Nate Diaz who keep at it no matter what and NEVER seem to earn your ULTIMATE RESPECT….
Nate Diaz stepped up to fight Conor McGregor for a reason. He had nothing to lose, and he wasn’t intimidated one bit. He famoulsy went on television with Fox Sports 1 on a split screen with Conor before that welterweight fight and quipped that his nemesis had already been choked out before, “by two lames.” Diaz also had the perfect instinct to add humourously that McGregor’s choke losses happened, “like a week ago.”
Diaz beat Conor in the shit-talk game long before he ever slapped him down and slipped that choke around his neck in the cage. The media created by that freakshow fight might have stopped the unchecked rise of your big, bold, six-headed dragon champion, but it created a new monster at the same time. And he’s a Reebok-hating, scowling, swearing, Stockton-slapping Mother-F$#king BEAST who doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about what he does or says.
You might think Diaz and his attitude are “bad for business,” but I think his victory was the best thing that could ever happen to all you smug punks running the UFC. It just proves once and for all that you do not control the MMA universe.
Nate Diaz went without respect and credit for being an MMA pioneer and a good UFC soldier for far too long. The bitterness brewed and boiled within him, and I loved every second of him letting it pour out in post-fight interviews after he choked the shit out of Conor until the Irish bloke tapped the “eff” out and left Dana White drooling in a stupor at the thought of having to congratulate a man who’s become more of a mortal enemy than a member of the big “team.”
More power to Nate and all the crazy, abrasive, in-your-face Diaz brother types out there in the UFC who will fight Dana “effing” White’s flamboyant fire with even more bravado and brash talk of their own. They can always say, “I learned it by watching you, Baldfather!”
As for Miesha Tate, she deserves true respect and admiration for being champ now after picking herself off the mat twice in the face of grueling losses to Rousey. Kudos to Tate for continuing her career and relentlessly focusing on getting by that Rousey armbar once and for all.
Though Miesha never did solve that Rousey submission dilemma, trying at all costs to get another crack at the belt paid dividends at UFC 196. Her never quit attitude led her to an opportunity of a lifetime, and she capitalized on it. Teraz, Dana, you actually have to pay this young lady what most of her fans would say she was worth a long time ago.
And now you simply have to treat Tate with a bit of reverence and appreciation for once in your ungrateful life, Dana “effing” White. I know it must pain you so much to give this young lady the credit she’s worked so incredibly hard for, because maybe she touched a nerve when she called you out in the past for being the true clueless and disrespectful prick you really are. She was right, and you were wrong about how great she really is at fighting. Then again, weren’t you also WRONG about women fighting in the cage, obdobie?
Tak, you DON’T wanna be a fighter, Pán. White? Then step aside and let the people who DO wanna be fighters go to battle for you so you can ride around the world on your jet and act like you know what the “eff” you’re talking about when you stand in front of a microphone to describe the sport’s true athletes and what they do to make a living in mixed martial arts.
The line from Dana that most stands out to me as comblete BS in this whole debacle is this one:
“He’s an old boxing guy who thinks he’s smart and he isn’t,” White said of Fresquez [Holm’s Manager]. “I feel bad for Holly because I don’t know if she really knows what she lost.”
I have only two more “effing” questions for you Dana “effing” White…
1.) What makes you think you are really in any “effing” position to EVER know or understand what Holly Holm lost the other night? Aside from a few bad poker hands and tons of respect, the only thing you ever lost is your mind.
2.) Doesn’t your backhanded quote about Holm’s manager describe your own shitty character a whole lot better than that of Mr. Fresquez?
A…just in case after reading all this anyone STILL needs yet another reason to have beef with the Baldfather:

Boxing is a unique sport, prinajmenšom. It’s often referred to as “The Sweet Science” with terms from the sport frequently invoked to describe intense rivalries and matchups in a myriad of other sports. Boxing is also often referenced in metaphors about politics. Though the popularity of boxing is not where it used to be these days, it is still one of the most challenging and daunting sporting activities a person can legally participate in all over the world.
If you are interested in either pursuing a career in boxing or just looking to learn the basics, the benefits of mastering the craft of pugilism can be very rewarding. Súčasne, there is a big difference between “going through the motions” and devoting the time it would take to be a successful professional. Tak aj tak, if you work hard and maintain your dedication to learning, your training will surely result in both increased confidence and enhanced physical fitness.
If you plan to take your lessons to the level where you are ready to compete at some point, you will need a serious training regimen of at least two to three hours per day. You will also need to find a reputable boxing gym. Online searches should lead you to a facility in your area, but you can also seek out a competent trainer who might be able to work with you from home if there are no boxing gyms near you. Here is a detailed article on how to find the best gym for your needs.
If you simply want to know how to move around, throw punches and defend yourself, there are specific facilities that specialize in the basics that can accommodate your needs. One of the most well-known and nationwide operations for basic boxing and kickboxing lessons is Title Boxing Club. They offer comprehensive workout sessions and group classes overseen by professional trainers that promise “to help you feel more confident, burn more calories and lose weight.” It is important to remember that facilities like Title Boxing Club are not really designed for competitive boxing training, as their offerings are primarily geared toward teaching boxing for self-defense, cvičenie, weight loss and stress release purposes.
It does not take much devotion or sacrifice to take up boxing purely for the fitness benefits. It is actually a part of the sport that is becoming wildly popular due to the fact that the training workouts provide benefits to nearly all the muscles in your body. Hollywood stars, models, and even reality television stars swear by boxing workouts as a way to maintain their attractive figures and their youthful appearances.
Time Magazine published a story v máji, 2015 that described boxing as one of the hottest fitness trends of the year.
Stále, boxing training for non-competitive purposes can be intense and agonizing for someone who never put on a pair of boxing gloves before. In addition to punching, footwork and defensive drills, there will be sit-ups, push-ups, jump-roping and most likely a great deal of running that will benefit your training and workout routine. You may not need the same kind of time commitment if you are not competing, but many of the workouts will be very similar to what pro boxers do in the gym each day when they are not sparring.
Sparring and fighting another boxer in competition brings your training to a whole new level. Boxing is a very high-risk activity, though headgear, mouthpieces and organized rules and regulations make it much safer today than it was when the first gloved boxing contest took place. People do still die in boxing matches, and some end up facing lifelong complications from single matches or long careers of taking too many punches.
For these reasons, the decision to box competitively should not be impulsive or taken lightly. You have to be willing to accept the risks of serious injury if you would like to make boxing a career. You have to be well versed in defensive techniques and be aware of the signs of a concussion or brain injury. Full contact sparring sessions should take place only under the supervision of trained professionals, and both fighters should be instructed to use about half as much power in their punches as they would in a real competition. Stále, if you plan to box as an amateur or a professional, some type of injury is almost inevitable. At some point you will suffer a split lip, bloody nose, black eye and/or a nasty cut. Tak, if you do really want to be a competitive boxer, be sure to have adequate health insurance in the event you need medical attention stemming from your participation in the sport.
More so than the risks you face, it is extremely important that you know going into training that boxing is one of the most difficult sports on the planet. There is no team to carry you in competition if you have a bad day at the office. There are just two competitors in each match: you and your opponent. Anyone with courage and tenacity can step into a boxing ring and fight, but it takes a special kind of devotion and willingness to put in the time and work to win trophies, medals and/or money through your exploits in the ring.
Most boxers go through years of amateur boxing before their first professional match. It is not mandatory for a boxer to fight in the amateurs before going pro, but it is certainly recommended. Some boxers may never go into the professional ranks, even if they do excel in the amateurs. There is even a “Masters” division for folks 35 a staršie.
Ešte, even amateur boxing involves a great deal of hard work. The main differences between amateur and pro matches are that most amateur matches are shorter in duration than pro fights and feature competitors wearing headgear that offers protection to the side of the head and some areas of the face. Stále, the punches that land on that headgear can be just as hard to take as hits that connect on your bare skull.
Whether you plan to take your talents to the professional ranks or not, amateur boxing can be an excellent starting point. Here are a couple great articles that describe how to pursue amateur boxing opportunities:

http://www.livestrong.com/article/420913-how-to-get-started-in-amateur-boxing/
Some colleges also offer boxing, with the US military academies fielding the most dominant teams over the years. Though it is not offered at nearly as many colleges as traditional sports like football and baseball, the competition can be just as fierce as it is in those other sports, if not much more so.
No matter how you choose to start out your foray into boxing for fitness or competition, sticking to it will require a strong will and a healthy supply of both mental and physical toughness. Truly mastering the sport can take years, if not decades. Whether you box for money or for glory, it can be well worth the risks you take to participate. You will always remember that first time you had your hand raised at the end of a fight. Becoming a world champion may not be in the cards for you, but just stepping in the ring to fight an opponent will put you in a class of people that you will always be proud to be associated with.
Our latest interview with a true class act. Jeff Daniels took to the task of telling his older brother Terry Daniels’ amazing story with a passion for posterity and a supreme sense of attention to detail. Despite having no book-writing experience, Daniels created what he considered to be as classic as a Beatles album when he finished crafting his masterpiece about a bygone era in the sport of boxing and his brother’s battles with some of the biggest names in the heavyweight division.

Kevin MacDonald is one of the most knowledgeable and professional referees in Mixed Martial Arts. Just last Sunday he was the third man in the cage for three fights on the UFC Fight Night 81: Dillashaw vs. Cruz card. Our interview covers a wide range of topics, from rule and weight class changes on the horizon to a few behind-the-scenes glimpses into the UFC’s operations. Psychic Tom Padgett and Rabble Rousin’ Rich Bergeron also recap the past week’s combat sports events (including Szpilka vs. Wilder and Cruz vs. Dillashaw) and preview the next UFC event headlined by Anthony Johnson vs. Ryan Bader.

Viete, Reebok bitka je stále zahrieva, keď ľudia sú trashing podmienky dohody ako obrazne i doslovne:
Čo bolo ešte názornejšie o incidente, hoci, bol “Strýko Dana” Nie je posilnenie v potrestať frustrované bojovníka za jeho nehorázne neúctu významného obchodného partnera UFC. To bol zlomový okamih pre “Reebok povstania.”
Čo môže robiť Dana, po všetkom? Myles bol vlastne tiahne stránky priamo z UFC prezidentovho vlastné marketingové príručky. Jury bol bytia v-vaše-tvár ofenzívy predávať jeho argument. Dana robí, že každý deň.
Vyššia-profil bojovníci dôsledne trením Mr. Biela zle v týchto dňoch pokiaľ ide o dohodu Reebok, a keď dal porotu a Donald “Kovboj” Cerrone preukaz pre ich nedávnu kritiku, uhryzol oprel likes Brandon Schaub.
Tam môže byť iný druh ohňostrojov v júli, kedy tento surový dohoda oficiálne vstúpi do platnosti, a všetci bojovníci, ktorí nesúhlasia s Schaub a jury začať realizovať ich krátkozrakosť. Niektoré z týchto bojovníkov UFC by dokonca ľutovať nebude spojenie so svojimi rovesníkmi na neoficiálnom verejnej demonštrácii, ak by to mohlo skutočne záležalo.
Najhoršia časť o celej tej fiasko je načasovanie. Federal Trade Commission opäť údajne vyšetruje UFC v dôsledku série vysoko postavených Class-akčných protimonopolné sťažností vinutia ich cestu cez civilnými súdmi.
Je ťažké, aby otázku, či najsilnejší zmiešaný propagácie bojové umenia na svete je prekročil svoje hranice v spôsobe, akým sa snaží kontrolovať každý aspekt kariéry bojovníka. Vyzerá to, že naozaj zlé dohodu o výmene trochu peňazí a právo bojovať pod zástavou UFC na krv, pot a slzy to trvá, aby zostali v hornej časti hry MMA v týchto dňoch. Ešte, že je v stredu balení v UFC je sakra výzvu. Fighters musí byť začínajú pýtať sami seba, keď nahromadené hrbole modrín, dislokácie, potrhané väzy, zlomeniny a otrasy stal tak zlé, že peniaze už nezáleží.
Čo sa stane, keď prílivová vlna bývalých bojovníkov UFC zistili, že sláva, ktorí bojovali ich srdce von pre fanúšikov sa neplatí účty a / alebo pošlú svoje deti na vysokú školu? Čo sa stane, keď vyprší pohodlný zdravotnú starostlivosť a vaše legendárny status bojovník nič neznamená lekárov a nemocnice účtovanie vás poburujúce a astronomické poplatky, aby vám zdravý dosť k životu na starobu?
Opýtajte sa Marc Coleman. Nie je to pekné.
Viac UFC boj alebo rokov rovnica obracia k mať žiadnu slobodu byť podnikateľom a žiadnu schopnosť vytvoriť si vlastnú značku, viac Scott Coker sa telefón bude pokračovať vo zvonenie z háku. Aspoň v Bellator, bojovníci môžu ešte mať svoje vlastné osobné sponzorov na svojich šortkách.
Oni nemajú hádzať všetky svojich bojovníkov pozor stratí pár zápasov v rade, či už. Oni nie sú verejne nadávať svoje stíhačky na post-boj tlačovej konferencie za to, že uvedenie na show. Platí, čo môžu, a robia ich najlepšie jednoducho byť považovaný UFC súťažiaci.
Phil Davis môže byť prvý z mnohých UFC odpadlíkov, ktorá by mohla začať kvapkať do či to Reebok dohoda vylučuje toľko príjmov a príležitostí, ako to vyzerá, že bude.
Ja som vlastne sklamaný, že Viacom sa nerobí väčší tlak na získanie ďalšej UFC bojovníkmi s viac lukratívne zmluvy, ale žiadna firma nechce prísť o peniaze. Je to ťažšie pre Bellator získať masívne príjmy na oplátku za svoje investície do svojich stíhačiek kvôli réžii robiť svoju vlastnú produkciu pre voľný televíziu. Ešte, v rovnakom čase, Súčasné vedenie koksárenské a Bellator Zdá sa, že v skutočnosti starať trochu viac o ľuďoch, ktorí robia bitku pod ich vlajkou. Oni vedia lepšie ako ktokoľvek iný, že vaše sponzori môžu skutočne udržať nažive.
Fighters, ktorí si cenia svoju slobodu a chcú trochu väčšiu kontrolu nad ich kariéry by mohla začať vidieť iba UFC súťaž ako oveľa zelenšie pastviny v brázde exkluzívne zmluvy odevov tejto Sneaker giganta. Čo by mal vyzerať ako veľký krok vpred pre UFC by v skutočnosti mohli predstavovať tri kroky späť pre túto organizáciu, ktorá sa už potýka s zrušený a presunutý bojov predovšetkým vďaka rastúcemu množstvo tréningových zranenia Hore bojovníkmi.
Samozrejme nesmieme zabudnúť Bývalý UFC Light preborníka v ťažkej váhe Jon Jones údajne zrútilo prenajatý SUV do tehotnej ženy autá a lámanie ju za ruku pred utekajúci scénu pešo. To je ďalší nešťastné príklad UFC nestaral dosť informácií o svojich bojovníkov. Ako oni nemohli spoznať ten chlap mal problém, ktorý potrebuje treba riešiť dlho, než sa táto tragická udalosť rozložil? Ako môže UFC ospravedlniť, ktoré nemajú svoje vlastné náhodné drogové testy na mieste ako ostatné profesionálnom športe? Ako sú nelegálne drogy poriadku bojovník robiť mimo súťaž na prvom mieste? Kto robil pravidlá s tým zející medzeru v nich?
Georges St. Pierre je jedným z UFC najviac hluční kritici na PED-testovanie pred. Bývalý šampión aj naďalej sedieť na vedľajšiu koľaj potom, čo jeden z najnáročnejších bojov jeho kariéry viedol ho, aby oznámil svoj odchod do dôchodku sa dvere otvorené len crack. Len široká, komplexné testovanie na drogy program môže priviesť ho späť, St. Pierre udržuje.
Dokonca aj bojovníci, ako je Ronda Rousey sa dostať trochu naštvaný s kontrolné kariéra opatrenia je ovládaný nad nimi ich veľké zviera šéfmi. UFC nebude ani nechať Ronda sa objavujú v niekoľkých skriptovaných akcií WWE. Len preto, že tieto paródie trvať dlhšie, než niektorí z jej skutočných bojov, neznamená, že sú dosť odlišné, než to, čo robí vo svojej filmovej kariére. Jej UFC šéfovia sú v poriadku s ňou naháňať akčných filmových rolách, tak prečo nie trochu falošný zápas? Možno je to fakt, že WWE ukradol značku Tapout a vzal ho hneď po vybalení z klietky a do zápase krúžku. Možno je to žiarlivosť, že WWE má druh fanúšikovskú základňu, ktorá im legitímne hrozba robí, a to je druh fanúšikov UFC zúfalo potrebuje. Možno je to fakt, že UFC stratila svoju šancu opäť udržanie služby Brockom Lesnar a oni sú ešte stále nad ním.
Nech už je dôvod, UFC je upínacie dole viac a viac o tom, čo bojovníci môže a nemôže robiť vo vnútri a mimo klietky, a to ide ďaleko za falošné wrestling. Zákazky sú stále viac a viac obmedzujúce vo všetkých smeroch.
UFC tiež použiť na vytvorenie vhodných podmienok, kedy by žiadny bojovník odvážil hovoriť faul slovo o vedenia alebo akéhokoľvek riadenie obchodných deal zavedený. Trest by bol horší ako pokuta, ak Dana sa rozhodla dať vám liečbu Brendan SCHAUB v tlači.
Sťažovať si, a vy by ste byť nazývaný zbabelec alebo bum. Nie si tímový hráč, niektorí neznalí fanúšikovia budú stále hovoriť, keď sa budete držať svoj krk, zatiaľ čo na základe zmluvy UFC. Ešte, Táto klíma nestačí zastaviť túto novú malú vlnu protestov, ktoré by mohli vyrásť na desivú crescendo tesne pred alebo po tomto Reebok dohoda oficiálne stáva realitou.
Bezduché prisluhovači, ktorí kritizujú bojovníkmi pre rozprávanie von ich vlastnom záujme jesť len priamo z Dana White ruky, aj keď je rozdávať jed na potkany. Je nechutné, aby počuť a vidieť toľko ľudí súhlasí s chlapom, ktorý nikdy ani bojoval oficiálny amatérsky záchvat akéhokoľvek druhu, namiesto počúvania s niekým, kto vlastne dal v snahe konkurovať ani jeden profesionálny klietka boj.
Pokiaľ ide o otázky, čo to naozaj znamená “byť F # $% Ing bojovník,” Dana môže dať všetky sprostý prejavy, ktoré chce, ale je to skutočné bojovníkmi, ktorí vykrvené na rokoch v rámci UFC práporom, ktorý dal tú reč skutočný zmysel a rezonancie, aby fanúšikom, ktorí teraz uctievajú pôdu Dana prechádzky na. Z väčšej časti, Tieto ventilátory iba ako biely toľko, pretože hovorí a cusses rovnako ako oni. Stále, jeden UFC bojovník som hovoril pred rokmi povedal mi, že je niečo s šport zle, keď najznámejší postavou v MMA je Dana White. Nemohol som súhlasiť viac.
Sloboda nie je slovo, brať na ľahkú váhu, a sloboda prejavu nie je tak slobodný, ako to bolo. Môžete podpísať na bodkovaný čiaru krok v UFC klietke, a budete musieť hrať podľa ich pravidiel, dokonca aj tie, sa vám nepáči, alebo nesúhlasíte s. To bolo dosť zlé, keď to bol jediný problém bojovníci čelil. Teraz, je to oveľa horšie, pretože Reebok dohody a dôsledky a vlnenie účinky to spôsobí.
Niektorí ľudia zabudnúť na tento obchod tiež odcudzuje ďalších sponzorov dlhej dobe UFC a jej bojovníkov. Pomyslite na všetky tie odevných podnikov, ktorí nebudú môcť predávať svoje výrobky teraz v spojení so žiadnym oficiálnym UFC udalosti. Nadchádzajúce UFC Fan Expo situácie je ukážkovým príkladom toho, ako UFC jednoducho nezdá sa starať o podniky a odborníkmi, ktoré pomohli dať ich na mape v prvom rade.
Ľudia stojaci za touto powerhouse MMA lige bude odcudziť niekoho alebo akúkoľvek skupinu ľudí, aby sa zhodiť chrbte lepších mužov ako oni sami. Táto Reebok dohoda je živým dôkazom, že. Aj keď všetky peniaze z partnerstva Reebok sa ísť na bojovníkmi, všetky tie podniky, ktoré skončia zamknutej zo stíhacích sponzorských obchodov bude musieť line up na podpis exkluzívnej zmluvy s samotnej organizácie. Buď to, alebo budú previesť na Bellator priaznivcov a sledovať spálené UFC bojovníkmi tejto organizácie.
Zrazu, že druhé husle je znieť ako by to mohlo ukradnúť show, a moja predpoveď, že by mohla zlyhať Bellator vyzerá predčasné a trúfalé teraz.
“Takže vy chcete byť f $% ^ Ing bojovník?”
Dovoľte mi, aby som vám niekoľko Scott Coker je.
