Dana is getting death threats from Dan Quinn and now one of his champs is in trouble. He seems to be having bad time this month. I don't know if anything will happen to Jones as long as he doesn't go to jail. Rampage went crazy after his fight with Forest and Chael was only suspended with he plead guilty to money laundering.

I now know Barnett broke his hand.... but I noticed he was slow (as early as the 2nd round) in his movement. Since he has NO kickboxing skills.. I was watching shoulder movement for the punching, clinchwork, takedown setup and it was sluggish w/o any "pep". I'm not a fanboy but remember him much better and almost the whole fight I was saying "WTF are you doing?".

Haha rumors Brock is coming back to the UFC. I know it's just Dana playing along with the WWE story line that Brock got fired from there.

I think Dana should work for the WWE. He'd fit in perfectly as the villian commissioner. He'd be amazing at creating storylines and mismatching fighters and pathing winstreaks for his favorites. The dude likes drama more than he understands fighting technique, the rules to his own sport, or a fighters ability. The fact that he really thinks Brock is the best HW MMA fighter in the world, or playground even, makes me sick. On top of that, in reference to Mark Hunt ko'ing a C level UFC fighter on some recent undercard, Dana said he didn't believe Mark Hunt was the real deal until now, he didn't think Mark Hunt was anything special. WTF !?!? Hunt has beaten more hard-hitting HW's than there has been UFC HW Champs. (including his kickboxing career)

Dana is dumb.

I wish we would get an MMA organization that was successful and didn't end up getting bought by Zuffa or the Fertitta brothers decide to have Dana step down. I know under his rule the MMA world took off, but we get champions going crazy after losing a fight, others drinking & driving and ring girls getting arrested for domestic abuse.

Being able to over power a smaller/weaker opponent because you have been on roids your entire life does not make one the best heavyweight. Seeing how when he went against fighters just as strong and better skilled he got his ass kicked. Even as sucky as Fedor has been lately he would destroy him.

There's alot of small time org's, especially in your neighborhood. The few succeeding large ones are competition to Zuffa. Bellator is pretty good.

Well, 'american MMA' anyway, but he didn't influenced MA's in Thailand, Japan, Russia, Brazil, but now there are MMA org's that started in those places no doubt due to UFC's popularity, but those places all understood the sport better than Americans did, to begin with. Dana's timing was the best thing about starting TUF. Still, UFC has watered down the sport.

but we get champions going crazy after losing a fight, others drinking & driving and ring girls getting arrested for domestic abuse.

What ring girl domestically abused someone ?

Randy woulda beaten him at Randy's prime. HHerring woulda beaten him at Heath's prime. Don Frye, Coleman, Mark Kerr at his steroid prime woulda hammered Brock. Brock just doesn't know enough about the sport, he just hasn't watched enough of it - coupled with the fact that he's dumb, he'll never grasp it.

Brock relied on strength never learned any real technique. He should stick with WWE better at it than actual fighting.
