This is dana white saying he gets mad when fighters put a hand down to avoid a knee to the head. It annoys me that dana is bothered that one of his fighters that could be making 5k to show might put his hand down to avoid getting kneed in the head and get brain damage.

That's dumb.

If Dana doesn't want fighters doing that then he should campaign to get the knees-to-the-head-of-a-grounded-opponent rule lifted.

I actually watched an episode after hearing about this Brony fandom situation. I had to know what all the fuss was about.

It seemed like a decent, perhaps above-average kids show, but I didn't feel an exceptional desire to watch more episodes. But if grown men out there really get into it then I'm cool with that. I almost always support anyone who does something unapologetically even when the cultural norm says its weird, so long as what they're doing is not harmful to others.

Plus, the show at least seems to impart positive values.

That's pretty much how I feel. I'm perfectly open to watching kids' shows if they're really good, but I watched a couple episodes of MLP to see what the big deal was about and I can't really say I get the cross-gender or cross-age appeal.

If for some reason, you are looking to watch an unbelievably girly-looking cartoon that's surprisingly good, I recommend Puella Magi Magica Madoka.

I also liked both of the Avatar series.

I cannot say I've heard of that one.

I think I watched an episode or two of Avatar but, again, I didn't really see what all the fuss was about. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a shot.

Yeah, the strength of the series is the writing and its character development over long story arcs, so it might take a while to get into it. Of course, maybe it's also just not your thing.

Projections are that the Mayweather fight did 2.3 million PPV buys. Thats more than the last 6 UFC PPV's combined. It will always be:

Boxing> MMA

I think MMA does more than boxing in ppv's per year. They also have a deal with Fox for 90 million per year. Boxing has hbo and showtime? PLus some regular channels. Call the channels equal. The tie breaker would be worldwide viewership. There are millions of people watching MMA in Europe and Brazil. Probably even more than boxing. Waaay more high level Brazilian MMA fighters than boxers.

Mayweather just got paid more money for one fight than all UFC fighters will make combined this year.

I can't even tell if he is just trying to be Chael Sonnen. I favor him a little bit but pissing off that crazy fucker Mitrione isn't a good idea. Schaub is probably going to die now.

I don't think he is, I think he just has a bad personality. He did that BJJ event Metamoris, and he came off as a huge douche in that too. I doubt he made any money and no one was watching. He didn't douche it up until after the PPV, if it was to sell PPV's he would have been playing the heel before then. I really think he is just one of those people that can't help but be obnoxious. Or maybe its just me...

He will probably wrestle Mitrione up, but I would love to see Mitrione decapitate him.

Wasnt Schaubs claim to fame that he played football at Colorado before he became a can in MMA?
