It’s what makes the site great.

I do, however, hope that nobody related to MMA dies anytime soon. This wouldn’t look so good in retrospect.

The fanpost is in poor taste, but its funny.

Like this:

Just as the guy a few comments above said, I think this post was in poor taste and it should be a reason to make a de-rec button.

Joking about people who recently died and making a poll on who you think should die next is just plain wrong.. I know it’s a joke, but it’s a pretty bad one at that..

This guy bitches about the crap he recieves in mmamania, but you cant blame people for reacting like that even in BE because of posts like this..

There. I believe I phrased that properly and it shouldn’t get deleted.. Now instead of flaming on him, we can be more civilized and just point out that even if you post this on sherdog, the ug, mmamania, and even BE, you’re gonna get crap thrown at you cause it is tasteless and unclassy.

Some people are just plain stupid. I’m really surprised at BE here for leaving it.

there’s a major difference you know.. I thought that was obvious?

For all we know, they may have never seen this post.

That’s not true, there were earlier comments deleted so we know at least one person on the staff read the post.

but after reading some of the comments that were made after mine, I am honestly bored and I ended up coming back here as a force of habit.

Takeover, I wouldn’t have gone off on the BE staff if other comments made were not deleted. At least one, if not all, have seen this article so something along these lines should be taken off. Is there anything vulgar in it? No. The fact of the matter is that someone is making a heartless and tasteless joke out of the early demise of human beings that left long before their time. Stuff like this doesn’t say much about the intelligence of the material that is put on this site. This takes away from Kid Nate’s Judo Chop, Weo’s Twitter Tweet’s, the anti Zuffa goodness that MMASupremecy puts on display, and all be the contributions made can sometimes be rather condencending…mmalogics posts. Smart, entertaining, and useful info is overshadowed by this kind of stupid garbage. Dana White, Scott Coker, and Tom Atencio, among others… they do look at this site and it has to be embarassing that this crap is on here. You’d expect to see something this bad on the UG or Sherdog. Luke, Brett, Nate, Eugene, Mr. Rome, Mr. Nelson, and Richard do great work… it gets overshadowed by stupid and inconsiderate crap like this. Why this sort of thing may not be their opinion, it is on their site and they should care what material is being put on their site… this sort of thing crosses a line of human descency.

Machavillean, you’re right… I have made blatant and hurtful remarks about Tim Sylvia. I think the man has reached “sideshow” status in MMA. I laughed my ass off when Ray Mercer knocked him out. I however never wished death upon him. Just because the guy has lost quite a few steps, I don’t want him to die in any manner… I don’t wish that upon anyone. You made a valid point with the Saddam Hussein remarks, I’m sure a lot of people did wish death upon him and he got it so they were happy. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t relieved that sick man was hung… but my reasoning behind that is that he slaughtered millions of people that didn’t deserve it. I feel “making predictions” of someones inevident death is in extreme poor taste and just flat out sick… whether it is in a joking fashion or not.

For the people that do find this stuff entertaining and funny, that is your perogative…. I however don’t, thats the point I am making. I think at this point, our thoughts and, if you are a religous person, prayers should be with the families that lost these loved ones and definitely should be with Lavar Johnson. The man is an incredible talent and I hope he is able to pull through.

I’m getting off my soapbox now, most of y’all are really good people w/ good hearts and good heads on your shoulders. I’m sure there is going to be amazing work that will come out on this site and eventually the higher ups w/ the MMA orgs will see it and recognize it in a positive manner. Just probably not this article.
