    The problem is people would think it's George Washington Carver and then everyone would be confused.

    Just watched the fight. Fitch did all that talking and then got kneebar'd in 90 seconds. Phenomenal.

    You do know Fox shows in the past (specifically the NFL seasons ones) got promoted four weeks out? Sometimes, even five to six weeks out.
  4. Elsalvajeloco
    Yeah, I'm gonna stop you right there. In addition, most of the main event wasn't even accounted for in the rating.
  5. Elsalvajeloco
    That didn't apply to every sponsor. For example, I don't believe Dynamic Fastener ever paid it.
  6. Elsalvajeloco
    Yes but then you can say NFL, NBA, etc have player unions that agree on the deals. That being said, it's the UFC's air time. I never saw a rule or law written that UFC as a private organization has to allow all the fighters to wear whatever sponsors they want. I think people assume just because they had this before they should always have it. It's UFC's air time, and they can dictate what is on it. That's what I am saying. There is no CBA. It's a bunch of independent contractors. You have to unequivocally prove that there are damages and prove UFC has reaped the benefits as a result.

    Dana has stated in the post fight presser that Dos Anjos will get the next shot at Pettis if Khabib isn't ready to go. Apparently, Pettis wants to fight ASAP. I guess his hand injury isn't that bad.

    I am not sure how much movement you can get on the uniform thing since every other league dictates sponsor advertising inside competition except maybe NASCAR. If the NFL changes over from Reebok to Nike, you wear Nike and they can issue fines if you don't. The UFC has given lots of free advertising time to sponsors not directly linked to them, and it was of their own volition.

    Junior would be the best ring fighter in the history of MMA if fought in Pride. He can only go forward and backwards. His side-to-side footwork and movement is so damn shoddy. Anyway, a damn good main event that I didn't expect.
  10. Elsalvajeloco
    Nate has now taken two giant ass whoopings on Fox. First, Bendo and now Dos Anjos. Maybe he can reverse that trend and fight Jim Miller again.
  11. Elsalvajeloco
    FIGHT MASTAAH!
  12. Elsalvajeloco
    Since WSOF is not good at marketing their own events, I will tell you that Jon Fitch is fighting Toquinho tomorrow. Something funny will happen, guaranteed.

    MMAFighting.com ‏@MMAFighting 8m White: Gadelha makes sense to get title shot if she wins
  14. Elsalvajeloco
    Having a full training camp makes everything equal. Not that Rose isn't a pretty good fighter (especially for her experience) and won't improve, but Carla is clearly better than what the fights on the show probably advertised. Hey, at least some people made good money betting.

    I'm going to use the "Comedy is subjective" copout. I refuse to name names because people will think I'm hounding comediennes. Specifically, those who manage to have two shows on the air on two different networks, date a producer at a third network, and have a talk show for no fucking reason at all. I will not be that guy who goes after low hanging fruit. No sir. Whitney Cummings? Haven't watched either of her shows, but her standup is okay. . .I think alot of it is on Chelsea Handler's bandwagon. At least Whitney has some inflection in her voice. . . We'll agree to disagree on that aspect. Maybe I can say she's better than Anjelah Johnson. Not much of a compliment, but I don't want to badmouth anyone today.

    Meltzer wants the UFC to do Herrig vs. VanZant. Do they actually do that?
  17. Elsalvajeloco
    Since the picks for this year end next week...WHY THE HELL NOT? THREE BONUS POINTS But yeah, Kagan ate all the knees and elbows.
  18. Elsalvajeloco
    I don't think that there'll be as much of a problem as it is 10-15 years from now, simply because people openly talk about it- both on the good and the bad. It's still not "perfect" for cases of sexual assault yet- but in 2014-15, it's far, far easier to come forward about being the victim of sexual assault- both to not feel like the victim did anything wrong and in people believing the victim-than it was in the '60s and '70s. It isn't perfect yet- I can't stress that enough- but if someone like a Cosby were running around now, it'd be far easier for the victim to come forward with it and get treated at face value, and far, far more difficult for anyone to cover it up- than it would be back then. We probably got two different definitions of "openly talk about", which I would not say is a bad thing. I am just disagreeing in a context based off the whole video girl/video vixen/Love and Hip Hop concept. Yeah in the 60s and in 70s, someone like Karrine Steffans would have never been famous and made it on the Oprah Winfrey show. This is a time where not only can you have a sextape, you can also shop your tape to different distributors just to make money. Everything looks fine when you're having sex with so-and-so with a certified platinum record and you have all your looks. However, when said person goes onto to another person and your looks fall off, you're going to reflect on all the crazy shit you did. Part of that is looking at all the shit you were coaxed into doing with drugs and everything else. The thing with a Beverly Johnson is she was like the Tyra Banks of her era. She was probably even bigger because she managed to extend her popularity past an age when modeling goes out the door. When you're one of the girls that dance in a rap video, you're definitely not even close on that radar. So you have to wait for the door to be opened wider so your claims don't get dismissed. Even though we might be wiser as time goes on, living in a more hypersexual climate can downplay the seriousness of certain things. It can make victim blaming quite easier, especially on social media platforms.

    KEVIN JAMES IS NOT A WOMAN (as far as I know)

    Robert Sargent ‏@MMARising 5m Few more minutes of this and UFC brass/producers will be happy. Multiple people have told me UFC can't wait to cut Magana (attitude/antics).

    I don't think Hannibal Buress is a household name considering I just replied to someone who has never heard of him before. However, he has most likely been elevated to a level where mediocre people with material half as good as his somehow reached. Not pointing out anyone....
  23. Elsalvajeloco
    People love recording comedians working on their bits and posting it somewhere? Hannibal has two specials out, a show on Adult Swim, a national ad spot with Kevin Durant, countless appearances on late night shows, a regular gig on Broad City, and the Cosby bit he was probably going to put into a future special was what brought him the most attention. That's like getting famous off crowd work.
  24. Elsalvajeloco
    If you're not losing regularly at that level, you're going to have to do some ingenius Brian Pillman in WCW shit to get fired.
  25. Elsalvajeloco
    This lends further credence to the "there can only being one prominent black stand-up at a time" theory. And that's not even Hannibal's "crowd". But I will use this as an excuse to post the Kevin Durant Foot Locker ad.
