Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 14, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 14, 2018 Is that even Dana's fault? The new company came on board and got rid of all of those old hangers on. Dana probably had no say in the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana retired Chuck and told him he has a 'job for life within UFC' and by all accounts he was very happy with his role in UFC (which i never did find out what it was) then new owners came in and one of the first thing they did was get rid of Chuck (which again really has me wondering what was his job?). This fight is happening because Dana didn't make good on his word. It's absolutely the UFC's fault. If Chuck was being paid for doing whatever he was doing by the UFC then there's no way he risks that by stepping away from the company for this fight. He'll have received offers in the past to fight no doubt and will have turned them down. As critical as I am of Dana though, I doubt there's much he could have done really. The new owners seem hellbent on taking what the Fertitta's built and fucking it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to really get excited about, looks like they've just cobbled together the best could from the few notable fighter not under contract to any US promotion.

Loki Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Ortiz fought recently in Bellator didn't he? Â I actually thought he didn't look terrible in his last Bellator fight but I'd be surprised if he's got better since. Â I had no idea this was happening, sounds like a total train wreck in the offing - Shamrock/Gracie in Bellator style. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Some people are still waiting on the rematch after Ken got blasted in the nuts in the first fight. And by "some people" I mean me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I'm not au fait with the ins and outs of MMA like you boys, but from casual watching of Bellator it's clear that the odd fight gets fixed, mainly the old timers matches. Â To my pro wrestling eyes anyway. Â I don't care though, they are often the most fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure about them being outright fixed, I think it's more a case of the older guys just gassing and thinking "fuck this, I'm too old to be going through a beating" when it gets a bit one-sided.
