    Apparently Dana white is going on the Joe Rogan podcast tonight. Maybe he will address the cuts.

    A very interesting look at the thought process behind at least one Academy Awards voter:

    I'm honestly curious what people see in awards shows. I don't get the fascination with these media-imposed self-congratulating masturbation-fests. The Oscars is the king of smug, self-satisfying, self-important, elitist exclusivity.

    Plus, that guy picked Zero Dark Thirty for Best Picture. LOL no.

    I think the idea of annual film awards is nice, but the Oscars are clearly pretty political and, perhaps more importantly, the vast majority of Academy members are fucking old. They need to balance that shit out.

    As for that guy's picks, I liked some and not others. Not ZDT obviously. But I do support his choice of Roger Deacon/Skyfall for Best Cinematography. Also his Wreck-It Ralph pick for best animated feature (although admittedly I haven't seen some of the other nominees).

    I think the Award ceremony is pretty gay. But I am glad they do the awards, for a guy that doesn't see every movie ever
    (anymore, I used to), it does help me narrow down what I might want to watch. I suppose any top 10 list could do that for me though, or even metacritic or rotten tomatoes. I guess I still like the concept, but I consider every nominee to be equal, and the winner is political.

    According to Helwani:


    Dana just said Aldo told him he is refusing up flight Pettis because he doesn't think he deserves it.

    Dana said Aldo will fight Pettis or he's not going to like the way this turns out. He's absolutely refusing right now.

    It will. I'm still not sure why Pettis wants to fight at 145 instead of waiting for Bendo.......whom he already beat

    I bet bendo would beat him in a rematch. He has looked great since then. Guida was able to take pettis down and control him for three rounds. Bendo dominated guida for three rounds. I think bendo would just put a wrestlong clinic on pettis this time.

    I think for Aldo it might legitimately be that he just doesn't think Pettis should walk right into a title shot. I mean, that would be two guys in a row who dropped down from LW to get title shots without fighting in the division at all. Where's the respect for the guys who have been working their way up at 145 like you're supposed to do, like KZ and Lamas?

    What does he care who he fights? He probably gets a flat salary plus a ppv percentage. Most people probably would rather watch pettis over lamas or kz. Therefore he would likely make more money on that fight. I bet his managers are trying to be smart about this. Pettis could very well have better striking than aldo.

    My impression of Aldo is that he's a principled man.

    I think Aldo would have a leg to stand on if he hadn't took the Edgar fight. Since he did, he needs to STFU and fight Pettis .
