What I mean to say is you're a moron and that's a proven fact. Twisting my words isn't going to make you any less stupid Vic. This isn'teven about fixing fights, it's about blatant perversion of contest.
UFC has always done it.

The point about Kimbo was that every fed that used him treated him as a commodity, as they do with marketable fighters with no ability.

No point discussing this with someone as stupid as you anyway.

I feel like EliteXC and Bellator has not always shown respect to the sport inside of the ring (more so EliteXC).

But once the fighters get in the ring you don't hear of anything that would taint the sport. You don't hear of Dana offering 'Fighter X' more money to stand with 'Fighter Y' instead of going to the ground, etc.

Yeah you're completely wrong as usual Vic. I'm not denying you said any of that because it shows you don't have a clue so feel free to quote yourself any time. It's all a load of shite.

Seanny One Ball 10-11-2018 10:31 AM

I don't think you know what you mean Vic. You seem to think Dana would have to walk into the cage and fist himself to undermine the current product but I'd suggest that would be more entertaining and more competitive than any of his freak show fight ideas.

Lol what a fucking stupid thing to say why would UFC want that AT ALL?

I would say Dana would have to go to fighters and tell them to 'not go to the ground when they are facing a brawler' or try to repeat the professional wrestling spectacle Kimbo/Shamrock was...... or hire Bob Sapp.

He hasn't done any of that. And has never credibly been accused of that.

Why would EliteXC want it? Why is it ok for you to point fingers at EliteXC's closure being at the hands of Kimbo's mismanagement yet ludicrous for me to pick his worst UFC fight and raise an eyebrow years after me and everybody else already had reservations about it?!

You hinge your entire belief that Dana doesn't harm in-ring competition on what?! That a completely different federation once was suspected of favouring Kimbo because of a one-off comment Seth Petrizelli said?

You're a buffoon.

So you're a naive Dana fanboy.

I see now.

Seanny One Ball 10-11-2018 10:54 AM

Here's a cryptic clue for you Vic. Which federation made more money from Kimbo? Who's investment was greater?

Hmmmmm?!

Big Vic 10-11-2018 10:56 AM

Where do you buy your tin foil hats from? Or do you make them yourself.

Seanny One Ball 10-11-2018 11:45 AM

Well if you're just going to be silly about it then I might as well take my hats and leave.

Seanny One Ball 10-11-2018 12:02 PM

Vic while I'm not impressed by your behaviour here I do feel the need to publicly acknowledge that you annoyed me enough to neg you twice... to which you responded with the never-fail-guilt-rider the return positive rep.

Well done. You have bested me in this moment in time. I will return to not negging people as my status quo for that rep has turned to ashes in my mouth.

According to ESPN, both Conor and Khabib are looking at an indefinite suspension from the Nevada Commission. Official decision to be made on October 24th.

Khabib also threatened to leave UFC if one of his teammates is fired by the company.

Frank Drebin 10-11-2018 09:57 PM

We should merge this with the Raw thread next week.

Big Vic 10-12-2018 10:04 AM

What did Conor do wrong?

The Commission was upset he climbed the cage to go after Khabib and might have provoked the attack on him afterwards.

Frank Drebin 10-12-2018 08:38 PM

Lumberjack match would be the perfect stip for the rematch.

Savio 01-21-2019 09:29 PM

Funny that not one of these fights featured UFC........... hmmm

Nevada Commission finally got around to handing out punishments for the post-show brawl.

Nurmagomedov got a 9 month suspension with a retroactive start of October 2018 and the ability to appeal for a 6 month suspension if he agrees to film an anti-bullying PSA video. Was also given a $500k fine.

His stable mates Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Zubaira Tukhugov were hit with 1 year suspensions and $25k fines each. ESPN reported Khabib isn't expected to fight again till their suspensions are over which could put the UFC Lightweight title on hold for a year.

McGregor got hit with a 6 month suspension with a similar retroactive start but no appeal allowed. Also got fined $50k and warned if he pulls any similar pre-fight antics in the future, he will get fined for them.
