@Number1HB

A fad? it's the most exciting sport on the planet , bar NONE. It's only gonna get bigger. MMA is here to stay.

@Number1HB A fad? UFC is the fastest growing sports brand in the world and only getting bigger and better.

Sure its not on everybody's "radar" but neither is soccer or the NFL. Are those fads too?

@VEGETADTX I know exactly what you mean, but when you start making millions, morals go flying out the window. I'm on the same page as you are, for the record, but you can't expect Dana to ever change, his business is so damn successful and he's making loads of money, the last thing he even thinks about are morals lol.

[VEGETADTX]

@bfmyac I don't think MMA would ever die just because UFC wasn't strong.

As for Dana, I don't want him to do what I want, I want him to be moral and honest...not a disgusting shameless pathological liar, who even betrays his own grandmother at her death and his own mother who gave him everything he has including his career.

I'm sorry sport is sport but moral is moral...I don't care how talented/interesting/whatever you are if you are a morally rotten jerk. There is no excuse for immoral.

@VEGETADTX I don't think you understand, I'd love for the UFC to do everything for the hardcore fans, but it will die down eventually, they have to do what will make the company "bigger". Because in the end of the day, they're not doing this to make you happy, this is their job, so you can't expect Dana to be the way YOU want him to be and he won't treat his company the way YOU want to. It's all about money, I know, seems unfair, but it's a money game. As simple as that.

[VEGETADTX]

@bfmyac But you don't understand my point man:

"UFC must cater to mainstream fans, not the hardcores like us, in order to become bigger."

In order to become bigger? But what that means to you!? Why care if its big or not?

Why would that make you happy...who cares about fame seriously...its about quality.

I am not a fan of MMA because I like listening to Dana's ridiculous self-contradicting, two-faced speeches, I am fan a of MMA because I like to watch fights. As simple as that.

[bfmyac]

@VEGETADTX As cool a it was to watch the stomps, it definitely didn't help the sport, the soccer kicks made it look much more barbaric, and would have made it nearly impossible to break mainstream with rules like that. Don't get me wrong it was cool, but it's not what the sport needs to become recognized as a professional sport just like any other. I understand about you care about quality, but the UFC must cater to mainstream fans, not the hardcores like us, in order to become bigger.

[VEGETADTX]

@bfmyac And where is MMA today?

Rrules are less and less like fighting.

No, stomps!! no knees to the downed opponent etc etc...All of that was in past in MMA now its gone.

Fighters mentality - instead of being respectful and professional like Fedor, Crocop, Fujita, etc...Fighters today are more and more like Sonnen and Lesnar thanks to Dana. "Great example" for kids really.

Sport being more famous is not improvement for me, I don't care about how popular it is, I care how quality is it.

@VEGETADTX I don't necessarily "endorse" is behavior, but if it wasn't for him getting the Fertitta's to purchase the UFC, and for him cleaning up the sport we would not be where we are today.
