Reilly has obviously not educated himself about MMA (despite his claims that he has) and his inability to stick with a consistent argument against legalizing MMA in NY is suspicious.

Btw, LOVE Ariel Helwani in this.

I tried to watch this. But the production value is just so awkwardly poor. The start bit was fine, then the womens MMA girl confused me, and then they hit the table and I was just bashing my head against the wall.

So yeah…was there anything of note?

x2 with the Ariel Helwani points of view. I’m not accusing him of boxing favoritism, but something doesn’t pass the smell test about Bob’s position on professional boxing. I also agree with Bob’s stance on the poor argument of “well if sport X is violent, then why can’t MMA exist?” However, he really should attend an event and stop referring to the sport as “Ulitimate Fighting”. Lastly, how the “F” did he get the right to preside over the hearings of whether or not MMA should arrive in NYC?

I like Mike Straka’s even handed round table. Good show.

Yet another shady politician trying to get his name out there at the expense of something else. I’d bet anyone a quarter that he could care less about MMA in NY. He’s just trying to pull a McCain and use MMA as his milestone. Only thing is, I think McCain was genuinely interested, and this fool has blatantly ulterior motives. He can’t be THAT out of touch to not see the UFC’s success.

Ugh. Can’t truss ’em.
