[So UnThotful]

So Paul Daley declines to fight MVP for the 3rd time? This is actually a fight that would have been pretty exciting. I wonder why it's not happening.

MVP cutting promos in his backyard

 

[Screwface Exchange]

Dana is such a bytch

Hes saying DJ is not the best pound for pound fighter in the world but McGregor is

Dana is doing exactly what a promoter is suppose 2 be doing. He is keeping dj's name in da press and tryin 2 motivate him 2 take a fight vs a tuff opponent.

This is da fight game, not spiritual retreat wit every1 trying to be friendly.

You cant be serious that dana it doing this for the press to keep his champs name in the headlines

its one thing to be firm with your fighters,but you can see dana switched sides on somebody with the quicks. How does DJ go from 'One of the GOATS' in dana's eye to not the current pound for pound champ in a space of a couple of months?

Marketing 101, all press is good press.

Honestly let's look at it the last month with DJ has been da most press he has had since Tuf, maybe even more. This fight wit TJ is already his 2nd most hyped fight and nothing is even signed. TMZ is askin dana questions, all da region sports outlooks are too, espn, so. This madness is working.

While he could definitely use the exposure this isn't some master plan to market DJ breh. The comment about p4p and now doing an about face from "he's the goat" (which was so insincere) by now saying TJ will be the first opponent of DJs ppl will care about (which is true) are blatant insults. You don't market someone by devaluing what little value they have, he's butthurt that negotiations aren't going well and he's now using the media to make sly digs in hope DJ acquiesces. Its bullying 101 more than anything

But is he really de valuing DJ. You could say is ppv value was nil, he was stuck on fox cards and has the record for lowest ppv numbers for a champ ever. All this talk is generation interest and buzz.

Ppl are dying to see TJ, dj and dana together for a presser jus for what fireworks may happen.

Insulting fighters, opponents and even ur own fighters have long been da way of ufc for hyping up fights. Shoot dana had a show in him preparing to fight tito Ortiz . How many times has he insulted da Diaz brothers only to have nate fight Connor on that legendary card.

at the end of the day they call the UFC the best MMA company in the world, he's essentially the most successful story going, to discredit him the way he is is counter intuitive.

who are these ppl? must be noobs cuz everyone that follows this sport knows DJs character. The comments he made on mma hour is as far as he's going to go. And if there was somehow a presser with the 3 of them that would mean either they or he would have caved. He's not likely to say anything combative or controversial cuz that's not him. Besides if he caved the battle is lost so what's the point in poppin off. If they did he would have got his terms so even ignoring his genial personality he's not likely to ruffle feathers either way

difference being Tito was a draw and the Diaz's are names that just need a good dance partner. There is no real traction for this DJ stuff. And when has Dana dissed the diaz's? He's their chief enabler, the only time he talked trash was at Nate when he said he doesn't move the needle. Which was not a marketing technique as negotiations had stalled due to diaz overpricing himself.Another situation where he used the media when negotiations weren't going anywhere

You think casual mma fans even know wtf mma hour is? When a ppv is selling 1 or 2 million buys diehard mma fans prolly make up 10% or less of that number. It's da casual fans that say oh Connor that's da cock Irish guy. Or oh Mighty mouse that's da guy who punked dana on ESPN. Or oh bones Jones that's da guy who fought coked out.

Look at how many times ur sitting here replying about DJ da marketing is working your obviously talking about it. Marketing 101. It's funny how many times dana runs da same trick on ppl

 

[So UnThotful]

Nobody is"dying" to see TJ fight DJ

Look man, I can see both sides arguments whether DJ should fight TJ.Both have solid arguments but to say that DJ is a fraud, dana doing it for the pres etc is anything short of a selective memories

Why doesnt Dana give bisping this treatment? Been chasing the GSP fight, but everytime it falls through and and the MW contender calls him out, hes always got an excuse to get out of it

if the casual fan doesn't have mma news on their usually visited sites then how is this marketing 101 suppose to working? Dj hasn't done fS1 or espn. And Dana said this on filtered I think do casuals not Google ufc and read headlines now?

not sure what point you were trying to make rattling off this obvious 1+1=2 shyt

I am replying to enlighten you due to your incorrect statement not because this DJ stuff has piqued my interest lol. Besides I would talk about kgb vs Ladd so I am not exactly the target audience you are talking about

U really are a dummy? U think mma hour is da only place reporting ufc and mma news?

Friggin TMZ even has dana white talkin about it. TMZ is main stream.



And actually fox sports/ufc on fox has reported this multiple times and from diff angles already.

 

[Roman Brady]

U really are a dummy?

and there it is starting to think most of you were born this century. No one can hold a discussion without stooping to such elementary levels

U think mma hour is da only place reporting ufc and mma news?

don't remember saying that, think I clearly mentioned that's where DJ made his comments and a casual could easily get wind of mma news just by their Google play newsstand. You are the one hell bent on who watches this and that

nobody really watches ufc tonight but if a group did it would probably be diehards, you were better off just showing the tmz clips and leaving it at that
