That's crazy because you see that creep iole and that fat dilbert haircut looking dude at the media table cage side all the time

John Morgan he's cool met him at UFC 194 and UFC 199

after all the shyt Helwani was revealing on radio today I'm surprised Dana and em ain't double down, he really forced them to lean back

Kimbo Slice

Bellator is fukked. I mean fukked. They knew he was taking PED and not only disregarded it, but booked him for a fight. Shameless

 

[The G.O.D II]

And Koscheck is out his fight with Daley

RIP to Kimbo. I don't know if he visited the doctor after that fight but he should've, they might've been able to do something to save his life.

 

[So UnThotful]

Man...just saw the news.. Rip

He was the first viral dude from his fights and cross over. Even thou he never won a belt, you can't deny his impact

 

[Vilify]

It makes you wonder just how close Kimbo was to dying inside the cage on live tv during his last fight.

If that tweet is true it would be in everyone's best interest like i said Zuffa would actually be cutting their nose to spite their face by completely shutting down one of UFC's biggest free marketers. Ariel has a slew of followers and in many ways is every bit as important to the sport as zuffa, buffer and Rogan are/were.

His firing was also a PR nightmare for zuffa, a lot of the mainstream media and known sport analysts got in on it. You see the end of his show today where he's weeping having lost his job and and it was just a bad look. He's been humbled and will probably go back to being a shill so both parties win

I wouldn't say he is as important as Zuffa but I get where you are going.

Went a bit overboard with the wording but he's a vital clog to MMA as it exists today and moves forward

My exact thought! This shıt sad.

Rest in peace Mr. Two Piece and a Biscuit!

They do. But once again, Bellator looks funny in the light. Everytime they book these oddities fights, it's always in a place with barely any strong athletic commission like Texas or some Indian reservation. They never run in Nevada, Pennsylvania, etc because they would never sanction that crap and they would do more strenuous testing and examinations. I mean if he did have a heart condition, what kind of examinations were these fighters getting? Struve and Dan Hardy were notified of their conditions and that probably saved their live. The two individuals from the main event of their biggest show this year both died(dada was dead and was resuscitated) There is some serious lack of oversight with the way Bellator does things

hendo got paid 800k

 

[RubioTheCruel]

hendo got paid 800k

Hendo's had a big purse for a long time now(IIRC that's why he left for Strikeforce in the first place, Dana didn't want to pay him headliner money when he wasn't a title contender anymore)

On another note, Koscheck pulled out of Bellator 158

 

[TheNatureBoy]

I'm glad that Ariel is back with the UFC, along with his co-workers. Regardless of how you feel about him, you can tell the passion he has for the sport. I listen to the MMA Beat every week and he is always bringing up good points and advocating for fighters.

 

[The Infamous]

RIP Kimbo.

Kimbo fought about 2-3 months ago. Didn't anything come up his pre fight tests?
