fundamentalist – strict adherence to any set of basic ideas or principles… aka the only right way is HIS way no other way…. sorry took me so long to reply.. as for fox news. i have my opinion just like anyone else, especially on fox news. and fox news is a joke…

Way too short IMO to have 3 key figures in the UFC flown to the Dr. Phil studios.

Part of the segment that Dana, Kenflo and Forrest were on has been added to the post above. The segment was really short, but I think Dr. Phil approached it from the right perspective.

I DVRed the show… after the first segment I fast forwarded the candy smoker. They spent half the show on that crap, then 10 minutes on the fighting… whatever.

Bill O’Reilly is a guy who just could never get laid in highschool and never could get his opinion out because other guys used to bully him around and make him do their homework. That’s why he is so loud and is always on the defensive and offensive and can’t conversate with anyone llike a mature adult. He only gives his point of view and cuts his guests off before they can share their thoughts because the guy can’t stand anyone who disagrees with him. just wanted to point that out.

Now: I’m kinda excited to see how Dana White will respond to Dr. Phil’s questions and possible criticism. Forrest and Florian are well spoken guys that can hold their own with Phil withought going “Chris Leben” and blurting out dumb sh*t that will make MMA fighters look like fools.
I hope that White takes this opportunity to educate those who are not so educated with MMA while he has this chance. I don’t know how Dr. Phil views MMA, but i hope that whatever the topic of conversation is, the audience and the people watching at home can come out of this with a better understanding of what MMA truly is and that the fighterz are true professionals and that this can be a family sport.

its cool diablo, your branching out. I watch oprah sometimes, seriously I hate being off of work during the day. anyhow I thought this was going to be another crucification of mma/ufc, but it wasnt. If only mma was allowed to be on other networks, more people could get educated and understand its safer than boxing. I was suprised the way dr. phil handled it, he didnt try to bash the mma.

My goodness Dr. Phil broke that candy smokin’ family down.

But seriously, Kenny Florini? F’in hilarious Dr. Phil. Dana was intense and well informed. I like how Dr. Phil refered to them as athletes and such and didn’t put the sport down.
I can’t believe I just watched Dr. Phil.

T3,
Not sure what you mean by fundamentalist, but the two association I can think of don’t apply to him. And I disagree that “anything on fox news is a joke”. I don’t spend a lot of time on the channel personally, but their news is pretty decent. And by news I mean regular news, not their opinion shows, which O’Reilly is an opinion show, just like Hardball is an opinion show. I really don’t want to get into an argument about O’Reilly or Fox, but I do have to say I don’t see them as a joke. Not to mention they have higher ratings than the other cable news outlets combined.
