I'm sure they can make a lot of money there, but whats the pay back on what they've already spent trying to get it to pass every year?
 
The prestige of running a show from the garden! But WWE doesn't do TV there anymore and without the Willis Reed Tunnel it looks like just another arena.
 
The sad part is the "average" UFC fan these days would probably be behind steroid use. These are the same morons that boo when fights are a battle of wrestling and not "bash him in the face".

Also, LOL, McGregor totally called Aldo ducking the fight between the two. I think this fight will actually be tougher than the Aldo, as he is fairly unprepared for Mendes. He fights very different. If McGregor wins, he is certainly deserving of the title in my eyes.

Roy nelson said he just assumes that everyone he fights is on something.

Amateur sure. And maybe many of the unknown fighters from the regional and minor promotions also. But the idea that most UFC fighters have used steroids is not exaggerated bullshit.

oh and norse is fucking batshit insane. sure i would bet some are on peds. but many of the wrestlers are NCAA or Olympic level. they have been tested for years. i doubt many are on it.

though i would like to see better testing.

So have you finally come to some sense on the reality in MMA right now?

Not that I am vehemently against it but it is prominent in most every professional sport in America and even much of the world and not sure just how much you can even do about it.

The booing of wrestling only really happens when the fight is in Vegas. That's because tons of the people at a vegas fight aren't mma fans, but are just douchebags in Vegas who want to be entertained by a fight. I remember a somewhat recent fight in Dallas where people were cheering wrestling. That's because most of the people going to a ufc fight in Dallas are actually mma fans, not assholes in vegas for the weekend.

Judging mma fans by the crowds in Vegas is silly.

Geeze; show me on the doll where the bad man touched you...

Don't think I've ever heard anything bad about Stitch. From all accounts everybody loves him.

That being said, there has got to be more to this story. What he said wasn't bad and Reebok put out a statement that they have nothing to do with UFC staff decisions (if you believe them). I do think that the UFC top brass are greedy, but they can't be this stupid....can they? Terrible PR move.
