Has Loretta Hunt ever been that nice when talking about the UFC?

Probably not.

She was dead wrong about this being the first time the UFC has lost a major fighter to a competitor though. Bustamante and BJ Penn both bolted as UFC champions. Hell, half of Pride’s roster was comprised of guys they poached from the SEG era UFC.

McNeil, Gross, and Hunt: a triumvirate of people whose opinions make my ears bleed.

Keep Firing, Assholes!

The world on a string doesn't mean a thing.
It's only real in the way that I feel from day to day.

You all better watch out

I said Loretta was dumb and they deleted my comment. I guess that is against the rules?

deservedly so

Being an idiot gets your comment deleted.

Gross and Hunt are great journalists. (despite the glorified Boxercise instructor bashing them whenever he can)

Mcneill is not a great commentator (MMA live), but he is a very good interviewer.

Both good writers?

No argument there… but Loretta’s knowledge of MMA is mediocre at best. It’s sickening she gets so many chances to ask fighters questions during postfight press conferences.
