Dannyboy,

UFC is MMA…. MMA is not UFC

That’s what I tell people all the time. I work with my father in law and brother in law and tell them that all the time. My broter in law is a boxer and I have to hear their uneducated views about MMA being “street fightg.” I am so sick of proving them wrong and going round for round over apples and oranges that I leave it at this now:
When they refer to MMA as UFC, I correct them and say, “You mean MMA, I cannot carry on this conversation if you do not even understand the difference between a sport and a promotion.”
As for the street figing comment I respond, “Oh sorry, I forgot boxing was the only style of fighting that required technique. If you think MMA is street fighting you have no idea what you are talking about.”

Anyway your quote reminded me of a never ending argument.

I think this has been hyped up too much to be worth much. Now he’s moving it to another day? I mean come on…I bet next Tuesday he says, “You have to purchase the next UFC fight on PPV because that’s where I’m making the announcement!”

UFC is MMA… MMA is NOT UFC.

Jason Guida is filling in for Monson. We posted it earlier today (LINK).

I thought Guida was taking his place. I’ll go look and if I’m wrong and remember I’ll post the correction.

This is really sad that it has to be dragged out. The doll tbing I guess make sense given it is the same company as the WWE uses so I now understand the Vince connection. I do not understand the space rental though. It might just be they needed to rent space because of a temporary issue(bugs). I really don’t care. What I do care about is
1 Is Monson fighting on the 21st???If not who
will be?
2 Where will The September WEC be held?
Anybody have a legit answer please post….

I liked the toy announcement. I want to get a Bisping figure, bring it to a voodoo person, put a spell on the figure turning it into a voodo doll and then in his next fight make him crap his pants. New York is not shocking. It’s just a new rumor in our desperate attempt for sanity. If it is not a rumor F Dana in his ear with a cactus plant. Please MMA GODS….PLEASE do not let New York be the announcement.

WTF!?! This is BS! The suspense has surely lead people to psych wards across the world and suicide by now. My brains started leaking out of my ear earlier so I had to slow my breathing(in through the nose and out through the mouth) and tell myself I will be okay. Soon enough we’ll all know the secret. I will be f-n furious if this is not a BIGGER announcement than that New York legalizing it. This announcement better be better than cracker jacks coming to baseball. It better be bigger than the 700lbs Mexican guy getting married on the AOL homepage. I think I am mad now. I am serious.

Dana is a tool. The announcement was probably the deal to sell UFC merchandise in JCPenney. Who cares! I hope his announcement next week is that he’s leaving UFC because theFertittas have realized what an idiot he is. How many good fighters have left UFC because he puts his personal feelings in front of business.
