Dana White tells Kevin Iole to expect better fights on TUF in the coming weeks.

"It’s a really good season," White said. "The fight (between Slice and Nelson) sucked. I wasn’t happy with any of the fights the first three weeks, to be honest. I was disappointed by the way we came out of the gate in terms of the fights. But the fights really get better. By episode 8, believe me when I tell you, you’re going to be going wild."

You are pathetic when it comes to twisting words. He said “By episode 8, believe me when I tell you, you’re going to be going wild”. This doesn’t translate into fights not getting better until episode 8. Sounds more like they get progressively better…and so far, everything has been typical first round TUF fight quality, a little under par, but theres no where to go but up.

Hey, if there is a way to contort something into UFC-bashing, he will always find a way.

Laaaaaaaaaaame.

how did i manage to say the exact same thing and not get the backlash you did?

you’re definitely not alone in interrupting his statement that way (agenda or not)

Sometimes people reply to the person, instead of to the post.

When I post, I expect the reply of “You just hate Brock!”.
When Sup posts, I expect the reply of “You just hate the UFC!”.
The actual content of the post doesn’t seem to matter as much :)

Well Cinderella, when the shoe fits……. :D

if the shoe doesn’t fit, cut off your toes and jam it in anyway!
(original Cinderella/Ashenputtel)

…The eldest went with the shoe into her room and wanted to try it on, and her mother stood by. But she could not get her big toe into it, and the shoe was too small for her. Then her mother gave her a knife and said, “Cut the toe off, when you are queen you will have no more need to go on foot.” The maiden cut the toe off, forced the foot into the shoe, swallowed the pain, and went out to the king’s son. Then he took her on his his horse as his bride and rode away with her. They were obliged, however, to pass the grave, and there, on the hazel-tree, sat the two pigeons and cried,
.
    “Turn and peep, turn and peep,
    there’s blood within the shoe,
    the shoe it is too small for her,
    the true bride waits for you.”

Funny because I didn’t get the same impression from what you posted as I did from the silliness that supremacy posted, perhaps you need to work harder at your hate?

I figured I’d leave your comment alone because the smelling salts comment made me chuckle. Sup is just far too persistant with his twisting of words. And seriously guys. When someone says BY episode eight…that would me before and up to that point…now, as I said, i’ll believe it when I see it…but let’s not put words in Dana’s mouth.

At all the responses. Reference wooburn and his comment below.

Wait a minute, so the next four episodes suck too? Does this mean that when Kimbo replaces a feverish Marcus Jones in the next episode to take on Brendan Schaub
, that fight’s no good either? Cripes. It doesn’t help that this season — like last season — isn’t offering much in the way of entertaining personalities or house drama. (Why The A-Hole Show hasn’t gotten any screen time yet is anybody’s guess.) Marcus is a black dude who loves flowers and 20-sided-dice? Oooooooh! Piss in a fucking fruit tray or stop wasting my time, okay?

And you, wooburn, and cagepotato are wrong.

By episode 8, believe me when I tell you, you’re going to be going wild.

This is saying that the action is building up through the episodes leading to a crazy episode 8.

You do understand that you have to take the word of a guy who was billing the Kimbo vs Nelson fight as the biggest fight in TUF history, which he now says that it sucked after the fact. He is a promoter, he is SUPPOSED to tell you that this season will be the best one yet to get you to watch and the fights will be even crazier coming up than they were before.
