What a dumb question, that's like citing all the terrorists acts in the last 15 years and asking a Muslim you still down with that? Errrr why should he/she give up their religion because of a group of psychopaths? You are probably one of those that rolls your eyes when you hear of the racial injustices in The US and say "if you hate America so much why don't you leave". Is it for the person to leave or is it for America to change? Think about it.

The fuk :what:, why would I deprive myself of a beautiful form of violence just because of the reprobates attached to it? :why:
:russ: beautiful form of violence

I don't roll my eyes at true racism. And I don't deny there are racist fans. But I know when someone is playing a persona to sell a character. So sorry if I'm not a simple minded ambulance chaser like you try hard

Or they could have shown the fight that won him the fukking SF title


Stop it
The clip they showed was the sequence proceeding the KO to the actual ko. The caption read as 'remember when nate marquart did this to the current ww champ' At no time in that clip or any promo footage do they allude to nate winning the strap in that fight..and even if they did? Let's be frank he's a prelims dweller from here and beyond, selling his fight pass headlined fight at the expense of the welterweight champion is just counterintuitive. To deny or defend it is just ridiculous,what they did, at best? Was clumsy and at worst? Was just disrespectful

We saw with the 207 promos how they handle things with kid gloves

:snoop:

Once again, Portland fight was about a month before NYC. They try to hype their subscription service. 207 you are talking about the main event and a huge draw. Don't even understand that comparison

Woodley doesn't have the personality to play characters for that you have to be a show man or in many ways cunning..What exactly is the endgame, to cite racism to the bank? You know in the UFC if the fans hate you that means they won't pay to watch you fight right?"I know when someone is playing a persona" you don't know anything, if you listen to his morning wood show as he was explaining this very same topic he had to cut it early because it pissed him off even talking about it. And are you honestly going to pretend the reaction to what Woodley did when he won and what bisbing did were the same? Because they requested the same damn thing yet Woodley got the worse reaction why is that? Was there not a longer queue at MW?

Tell me again what Woodley has done to receive the amount of hate he received at NY press conference and social media?

Just because there's racism everywhere doesn't mean it shouldn't be called out. If anything I'd take the opposite position.

And you admit that there's racism in MMA? Why is it "race-baiting" or trolling to mention it if even you can acknowledge that it's legit?

he's a c00n, don't bother with him

yeah because seeing maia and palhares finished wouldn't have hyped that meaningless fight at all.

I know you get easily confused but I used 207 as an example as to how UFC are purposeful in how they do things. 207 they gave Ronda a video reel, no footage of the fight or nunes even. UFC 168 'leave no doubt'couldn't stop showing Anderson's KO.

I think it's safe to assume they felt it was ok to do that cuz the fans hate Woodley

Are you dumb? Do you not know the history of combat sports and race? It always sells, from Jack Johnson to Floyd. Woodley doesn't have a personality or characters. Hes an analyst and an actor. You would know that but we already established your casualness. Hes pulling race into this to trigger racist cacs and griveance seeking militants to buy the PPV. Pretty easy to comprehend to a non bias, non agenda seeking individuals. Hes playing a heel and obviously doing a good job at it to certain people. And what the fukk does Bisping have to do with this? People still think hes a fluke with the lucky shot on Rockhold and going to the brink with the corpse of Hendo? And he would have never received that title if Weidman didn't get hurt again. Poor comparison
