He's been in fukk it mode. But look at it like this.
Connor vs Mayweather: Against Danas wishes, Mcgregor loses the fight and doesn't look like he'll return to MMA for a long damn while.

Demetrius vs Borg: Against Dana's wishes, fight falls through, female main event flops. Event did shyt numbers all around.

GSP vs Bispring: Against Dana's wishes, fight has no buzz. People are predicting way under 1m buys.

Been a rough half of the year for Dana

GSP vs Bisping was basically created by Dana tho, his hand wasn't forced to make that matchup.

Fight Night Musings:
- Luke Rockhold is still gonna have issues with cats that can get inside with good hands...If Gastelum is still stuck at 185, I wanna see that fight.

- been saying he's the best up and comer in the division, it's time for Kamaru Usman to get a high level opponent to see where he is in the division.

- Not surprised by Hall KO'ing Jotko, I'd put a soft bet on that one and flipped that into an NFL parlay. Hall is frustrating in that he has lapses, but when he's locked in and aggressive the dude can KO anybody.

- Still not buying the Perry hype until he fights someone with ringcraft and makes in-fight adjustments to win. Wasn't gonna be impressed with an Alves win let alone an undersized, short notice non-UFC fighter. I'd love a Robbie fight though for the highlight reel guaranteed to come.

- Anthony Smith is hard to gauge...dude is gonna be a solid gatekeeper but I doubt much more which is too bad because he's got a great size advantage over most opponents.

- Justin Ledet another one of those cats where I haven't been particularly impressed but he's strung some wins together and the division could use new blood, so give him a shot and let's figure out how far away he is.

Ledet has a very good, stiff jab in his arsenal. Not many MMA guys let alone HW's know how to use a jab effectively.

I really like this match-up. Cats were saying Perry vs Condit or Lawler like he didn't just get outstruck by Alan Jouban. Belal is more in line with where Perry's at and I'd like to see him get more attention because A) the dude was booking matches while fasting and WON. B) Honestly, his twitter personality is pretty likeable and I think he could become marketable. C) Dude is tough, can wrestler and strong; he's got a skillset that can develop into trouble for a lot of people.
