MMA Nation on 106.7 The Fan: WEC 48 Aldo vs. Faber Talk, Jordan Breen Interview

This is as good as it gets without a tripod. I am not buying a tripod.

While WMMA has some good fights, it really does seem like a gimmick now. The talent pool didn’t “explode” like many predicted it would over the last couple of years.

Before the station flipped all sports in July of last year, I could play whatever I wanted. I used to do only rap music. Now with the flip the execs in NYC have stated they want the same music across all the shows. And the reason why the music is what it is is because those execs like that kind of 90s dogshit music. We’re sort of stuck with it until the folks at corporate decide their taste in music is horrible and makes my show worse.

I should’ve mentioned it, but these vids are one-takes. If you miss something, then that’s it. But yes, Reed gets a ton of credit as well.

Reed Harris has done everything for the WEC, except getting ignored in the biggest day in its history. I wish Harris was alongside Dana in all of those promos. If they are really interested in pushing the WEC as a seperate brand they would have made him more visible.

This is part of the reason I’m thinking this card might do PPV numbers not so far from a weak UFC card. There’s a million people who heard from Dana via twitter, via the video blogs, etc., that this was one of the top cards of the year, and that he was running the show as basically a UFC pay per view, with a smaller cage. I expect this to be a pretty big success, just hard to see how they’re going to match it anytime in the foreseeable future. I really hope that what Zuffa sees in a positive result, is that the lighter weights can carry a PPV to a degree, and would bolster UFC cards throughout the year. The WEC is better off as it was before eliminating the higher weight classes, a VS broadcast minor league. Why waste title fights on Versus? They can’t all be PPV.

None that I am aware of.

That’s one of the many illegitimate children Luke has running around the globe

Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated.
