She was throwing ultimatums around like she got leverage
This, she's got a boring ass style and it's not like she's popular at all, what delusion.



Ps As for the departures I thought it was more a case of Lorenzo leaving than wme-img bringing in their own. If you noticed anytime the fighters had an issue about about money or whatever they would always prefer to speak to Lorenzo as oppose to Dana, wouldn't surprise me if other staff members are leaving now that line of communication is gone..Can't believe weidman had to call up Lorenzo to get a spot of the NY card i think things are going to be worse now than ever. Probably why everyone is either threatening to quit or talking about disrepect, classic signs of wanting to be heard

Herd was in the morning so it gave the Ronda news a whole day to marinate and it worked,it was all over shyt like CNN even. He did accidentally on purpose reveal the pvz/waterson fight tho but yeah it seemed counter intuitive, like wasn't the what the gripe with Ariel going rogue was all about?

Ariel was an outsider... it doesn't make sense for Dana to be so tight lipped on a "UFC" show acting like he's gonna get in trouble... yes the herd attracts more listeners but he should of at least fed the UFC show too...

he might have his own gig but when he worked as ufc tonight's Adam schefter he was a pseudo employee. Which is why revealing ish on mma hour before going on ufc tonight the next day started to become problematic

wasn't that what pvz vs Michelle waterson was? :dwillhuh:

I believe Ariel when he says he just wants to over the sport as a whole.

pvz vs waterson isn't a jaw dropping fight. He wouldn't drop Cruz's opponent on the show. Matter of fact I don't think they have broke any big fight on their show... which makes the Ariel thing funny because they are feeding other media outlets their fights

I don't understand how this pertains to my statement, was someone questioning his professional integrity?

first you said they weren't feeding UFC tonight now your problem is the portions were too small? lol. That female fight is headlining UFC on FOX that could be a big deal to some and the cruz situation could easily be down to not having a deal in place to report. As for your last sentence it never really made sense how UFC acted like mma's NFL yet bloggers would break their news first. Now they go to established media sources and have it trickle down that's how a company sold for 4 billion is suppose to operate. Who watches UFC tonight anyway
