If sanctioning from the athletic and boxing commissions was so great an achievement, wtf is happening to the sport? Clearly, Dana and Zuffa aren't able to see the big picture.
Yeah you can argue that the TUF is a potential entry into the mainstream but if so, why pick SPIKE TV? FOrmally The National Network formally The NAshville Network(Yeehaw). It reeks of sideshow. MMA deserves better.

On this I will definatly side with Dana and the UFC. Zuffa has done the unthinkable as far as buisness is concerned. The major fights are on Sportscenter for Christ sakes. As far as Pride "making far more gate" while not being sanctioned??? THEY'RE IN JAPAN YOU FUCKTARD. Why the fuck would they get sanctioned by Nevada?.......ohhh, to have shows in the states!!! They are doing that thanks to Zuffa. If it wasn't for Zuffa they could never get licenses or have shows here.
I don't like Zuffa (or Dana) as buisness people.....but I admire their accoplishments.
