I see what your saying - Unlike Serra he has beaten EVERY can the UFC dug out of the woodwork to fight him. Oh wait.

is Iole really a UFC employee? Seriously ?someone said he was in charge of some thing to do with promotion?

Best thread in weeks. Ive stated it before and I will state it again... Kevin Iole is nothing but a balding sh*t kicker who lacks knowledge in MMA and toupees.

I heard the same thing, someone said he was in charge of advertisement for Zuffa or something or public relations I forget.

Well anyways Kevin Iole should be forgiven for any sins if he ends up helping us get WEC 34 on a 3 hour timeslot instead of a 2 hour timeslot. (If any of you guys want to help too follow my sig)

won't happen because the last ufc fight night got such garbage ratings despite being a real good lineup and allotted extra time

Thats true, but I doubt bullriding or fly fishing will get better ratings and don't they just replay the event for the rest of the night anyways

On the topic of Kevin Iole, I just recently seen that article about fighters getting "Secret Money" and this guy has to be getting something from Zuffa to be writing articles like this and this is'nt the first time hes wrote articles like this either.

Somebody email him and invite him over here to defend his rep while he's being slagged.

Are you really telling me that Iole is ranking Davis above Hughes, GSP, Fitch, Karo, Thiago, Diego, Koscheck, and Serra? Not to mention there's Jake Shields and Carlos Condit in other orgs. And who has Davis beaten? Jess Liaudin? Paul Taylor?

Kevin Iole is a pure TUF n00b who doesn't know anything about MMA. Who else is pissed off that this idiot gets to write MMA for Yahoo sports?

I think he does a great job dedicating MMA to the yahoo, whether its UFC, Elite Xc or other Orgs.

One thing people don't know is Kevin Iole used to work for the Las Vegas Review Journal, which is the News paper in Las Vegas and has a good relationship with Dana, so he gets a lot of inside info from the UFC. IMO UFC is THE Organization in MMA weather people like it or not. Yes they have the top fighters in each weight class, other orgs have fighters but who will they fight?

Jake Sheilds - he had the chance to sign with UFC, he elected to stay with EliteXC to build his skills than take on the top WW in the UFC.

Carols Condit - He also wanted to fight in the UFC but resigned with WEC, now I don't understand why the UFC and WEC don't expand to under one umbrella and have the contracts as a ZUFFA exclusive contract, therfore WEC and UFC fighters can fight in either of the orgs.

[slappy]

Before UFC 81, Iole rated Nogueira's conditioning a 7/10 and Frank Mir's a 8/10!!!

Also, Iole continually loses any journalistic integrity when he fails to report Dana White's contradictions. He truly makes it his own when he doesn't report the ones Dana has made to him personally.
