Not a chance I write Kevin, because I would have very few positive things to say about him or his articles. I feel the same way about a few other MMA journalist as well to be honest.
As I mentioned earlier, I know I could do a better job then quite a few of these "journalist". A shame I didnt major in journalism in college when I look back on it.

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?

Marcus who? He hasn't eaten anybody, but calls out gomi, and disrespects fedor. If he had some balls he would talk that shit to the ww in the ufc. He is just a joke who got his 15 during tuf, once they put him into the top competition he will get destroyed, and his annoying overhyped self will disappear with that too.

I agree he knows nothing about MMA but Davis is atleast Top 10 in the UFC but idk about division itself,but after he murders Swick he should get a top 5 guy so well see what hes made of i think hes legit though

first of all, chill out. secondly, equating davis with wang is like equating eddie sanches with cro-cop. iole does write some valid stuff, and just because he thinks davis is a top ww doesn't mean he's a complete retard. davis is racking up some nice wins over some tough guys. are they top level guys? no, but the ufc doesn't bring in total chumps. with the record he's sporting in the ufc, he's 1 fight away from being exactly what iole claims he is, so relax.

I think he just writes what Dana tells him to write.
He himself is just a dumb Tuf noob, who knows nothing about MMA.

I never complain about MMA writers except Iole. He's literally a UFC employee pretending to be a journalist. Yahoo also employs Meltzer, who's actually a good & fair writer.
