agreed
the brockness monster grinds up teenagers and puts them in his protein shakes..and uses razor blades to chop toddlers up into lines to snort like meth...the reason no one can find bigfoot is because the brockness monster found him years ago and now has him in numerous ziplock bags in the back of his freezer...
Goofy
Dana’s goofy smile at the start somehow makes me realize he knows the Ariel is the only real MMA reporter at these events (aside from the credible blogging staff!)
I'm from Canada, and they think I'm slow eh!
Besides the fact that the UFC outlaws one of the better MMA journalists, there are still a handful of guys that know what they’re doing.

I love Rome but he still doesn't get it.
I listen to his radio show plenty and he routinely says some stupid shit regarding MMA or more specifically the UFC.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.

romes not a mma guy and hes pretty ignorant, but at least hes not the pti guys or the around the horn guys who are like camels with their head in the sand when it comes to mma coverage

With the PTI guys’ attitude towards MMA, it may be a blessing in disguise that they ignore MMA.

Booo for everything else about Jim Rome.

Hahaha.
He has some annoying things but once you get into it, it’s a good show.

It boggles my mind why fighters sign with Ken Pavia.
The UG is filled with stories of him screwing fighters over, the biggest promoter in the business hates him, and he constantly books his fighters in no-win situations.
Is Pavia really such dynamic a personality that he can overcome his truly awful reputation?
Boxers still sign with Don King. Pavia is a saint in comparison.

ariel helwani has carved a nice little spot in MMA latley.
"I’m the UFC heavyweight champion and I will be until the day I decide I don’t want to be. And that isn’t anytime soon." - Brock Lesnar
Indeed
And a nice little spot in my heart. Ariel is the best

He is the Carson Daly of MMA.
NO putdown at all…he will crossover to the mainstream in a big way down the road.
The more you drive, the less intelligent you are.
People saw him with the UFC mic and flipped their shit, it was just because he does work with Versus, and Zuffa likes him. Helwani does his job amazingly well, I can watch an interview done by him with a virtual unknown and I’ll know that it’s gonna be interesting, because Ariel knows how to work the mic.
From all reports she (Cyborg) pretty much only spars men, and has been known to put some out during training. - Rudinho479

What I like is that he asks interesting questions in an articulate way, and doesn’t get thrown when the interviewee “no comments” or changes subject on him. He doesn’t push hard enough to piss people off, but he puts them in a position where they actually have to say SOMETHING even if it’s just to say that they aren’t going to discuss that point. That he does it all while seeming to maintain a pretty friendly relationship with everyone is amazing.

UFC 117 stacked on talent? Yes!
Will it be a better fight card than 116?
I hope so, but I can see several fights being duds.
Semper Fi
no chance
116 was prob the card of the year
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
as far as entertainment value goes, ufc 116 was by far the best card of the year. On paper 117 has it beat by a mile, but I don’t know if it’ll end up as exciting as it looks

Thanks Anderson!
I’m actually grateful now for Anderson’s performances against Cote, Leites, & Maia because it caused the UFC to create one of the most stacked cards in recent memory around him in hopes to draw a buyrate.
Good job Silva!

he welcomed mc hammer...really?

I think it is funny they are doing all the PR work in SF and not Oakland.
Kimbo wants to take your caterpiller and do bad things to it.
The UFC gym is in SF, so it makes sense to host in "in house"

If I’m not mistaken, the bay area ufc gym is in concord not s.f. Concord is on the oakland side of the bay.
