And he's stupid enough to believe it no questions asked? He's a paranoid crybaby already.

This whole thing is hilarious, btw Dana has mos def made wagers on fighters in the past, I doubt anything with the bookmakers, but it makes their legal stance even more flimsy.
Yeah I'm on record with Bones via decision earlier in the thread. I can see him dropping a round or two.

Eh comeon. Watched that video and it's really nothing, just Dana being cool and friendly with Wanderlei, "betting" in jest on what a decision will be after a fight and whatever opposite of Wanderlei just to fuck around.
There's plenty of shit to get on Dana for besides that.
Yeah, I know Dana is a saint and morally incorruptible but I don't blame Rashad for believing his managers.

Meh, it falls on Rashad to not be stupid, he can't blame anyone else but himself for looking like an idiot. They may have even told him line for line what it says and he's stupid enough to believe it, even though being an obvious joke.
Rashad's a tool, that's all there is to it. Ever since seeing the way he acted like a crybaby as a coach on TUF that much is obvious.

Guys, Jones and Shad are both fucking cry babies. Did we already forget "YOU RUINED MY SPECIAL NIGHT" and "WHY ARE YOU INTERRUPTING ME!"

I know, its just funny due to the statement the UFC put our regarding the cagepotato story:

No he just whined about Rampage not giving enough loving to his fighters and then trying to convince a bunch of grown men that Rampage doesn't really "care about them" and hay guys come join my grade school clique. All to the predictable response of blank expressions like "Um ok?"
Maybe Rashad's next TV run should be as a guest star on Glee.

I can already see the primetime special for the rematch in my head.

Are the pre-fight pressers worth watching? What's the phone call people are talking about?

Because he lives for drama and is all about drama. What Jones says about Rashad's cliques pretty much sounds true since he was acting like that on TUF. Rampage is Rampage, he just acts stupid all the fucking time, so that's expected. Sometimes he does funny shit, sometimes he does asshole shit.
I've never seen a fighter so hung up on all the other people around him like Rashad. It's like he's a middle school girl or something.
Shit, Rashad needs to go watch The Breakfast Club and have a good cry or something.

Interesting to see how Jones thinks vs Shad when asked who the best lhw of all time was, Shad went with Chuck and Jones said Tito cuz he has the most title defenses.

There are already people waiting in line at the Fox Theater in ATL for the Chael Sonnen Q&A and weigh ins tomorrow. WTF.
I didn't see it that way. Rashad called Rampage a shitty coach who didn't care about his team and QRJ basically agreed with him. Quinton is one of my favorite fighters but I can't defend his performances on TUF.

Jones should have trolled Shad and said Machida.

Except the point is the fighters train with their teams and its a reality show. The actual fighters as "coaches" don't do jack shit with regards to training anyone really, its the REAL coaches around them. They're fighters, not coaches, and they're on just to make a show of it.
Not only that, but it's on for a matter of a few short weeks. Is someone really going to change the course of the way they fight, whats wrong with their cardio, etc over the course of the short period of time they're filming? Hell most of the time they're hanging out in the house or whatever looking for drama to happen to have something to shoot. I don't recall Rashad offering any of these guys he supposedly "cares" about on his TUF season a spot to train with him in real life or some cash to help them advance their careers, is he?
Rashad just loves to create drama over piddly shit, and everyone else is just like "wtf? uh okayyy then Rashad." That's how the fighters on the show reacted to him. and that's how I see it.

That's what the crap coaches do. Good coaches like Tito, Pulver, Serra and even Brock (when he was there) did help with actual coaching. Rampage didn't do anything for his team except provide bad cornering (GET UP ABE!).
Look Natural, it's pretty obvious the reason you don't like Rashad is because of his race. Just come out and say it buddy.

Jones just called himself the number 1 ranked fighter in the world.
Maybe douchebags make good TUF coaches, I don't know. All those guys were great though.

Holy shit. I don't live far from there...no way in hell I would be lining up today.
Nice, it was previously scheduled to be a Prelim match.
Fight of the Night or a McDonald Knockout of the Night.

Anderson? You mean the guy that got beat up by Chael Sonnen for 5 rounds before pulling a miracle out of his ass?

I'm kinda sad we don't have more casuals in here so far. I figure this would at least draw a little more than your average UFC fan, but I guess only Brock can do that.
Funny looking at old UFC threads how many different people posted about MMA that don't now. And I don't mean wrestling-GAF transplants. They're gone man, way gone. In the head that is.

Anderson is the new Fedor.
The casual folks don't show up until fight night.

Also sad, maybe not but just about how the card is. Like 0.0000001% of posts in this thread have been about the other fights on the card. Combined. A guy I don't recognize just posted something about McDonald-Torres so he's probably the only one to actually look at the undercard. Except for the "GRIGGS" reference once in a while.
Sad stuff.
A shame considering the prelims are better than the main card.
He's destroying guys who have been champions and are still pretty much at the top of their weight class, or haven't fallen off too much.
Anderson barely survived Chael. Chael couldn't finish Bisping.
Yeah, Spider is an all time great... but at this very moment, it's not hard to call Jones the number one ranked fighter in the world regardless of weight class.
Rashad has a great record and despite having his detractors, is a hard fight for anyone (LOL RYU ALMOST KILLED HIM). If Jones destroys him as well, it'll probably be universally accepted at that point.
Edit: Not saying Jones is the No. 1 ranked fighter right now, just saying it isn't crazy talk. Spider is the man, maybe he just isn't as hungry... or just bored. But in-cage performance is what counts.

I'm probably looking forward to the Travis Browne fight the most, just cuz I need another Hawaii fighter to root for with BJ retired and Kendall sucking.

Excuse me but I am also anticipating future #2 WW of all time (because GODSP is #1 forever) Rory MacDonald's performance.
When Anderson destroys Chael in the rematch I am going to come laugh at you guys talking bad about him.
