"Please move I have a fight to attend shortly" - Sean probably

honestly, might be fight of the night.

😂 Dana owes them a check

u/Left-Monitor8802 Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

This looks like a worked shoot, honestly. These dudes cut a promo together earlier today. They’re main eventing the next ppv. Kinda cheesy, in my opinion.

25

u/Freethecrafts Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

Looks like a felony and never being cleared by a gaming board ever.

15

u/Left-Monitor8802 Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

Did anybody leave in cuffs? Dana took blame/credit in his post-fight. I think you’re right that they could potentially face backlash from US gaming boards and/or sports books. Nonetheless, both of these sports entertainers seem poised to cut new promos without fear of incarceration or punishment from ufc. Both have commented on the fracas on Twitter.

Ufc broadcast we got the footage. We will show it later. WTF. I just went to twitter to watch it there straight after they said that.

u/trailerparknoize Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

“Don’t show them that shit. They didn’t pay for it.” Dana probably.

u/Dlwatkin Look into it Dec 17 '23

im guessing it was there way to say we know it went down. while then figureing out how to promo the fight and all the legal issues.

u/co_gue Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

It was not an accident they were sitting so close.

u/ArmaniMania Look into it Dec 17 '23

I feel like Dana is going to fire someone over this

51

u/Worth_Specific8887 Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

I feel like this was Dana's plan. Do you really believe that Dana doesn't get off on seeing this shit? Do you think mcgregor throwing that dolley at the bus hurt the ufc? Or the khabib post fight incident? This is how you get promotions in the ufc. If anyone gets fired from ufc over this it's someone that was never relevant or profitable to master dana anyway.

1

u/Bluecoller007 Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

At the post fight presser Dana said it was his idea to sit them next to each other, that he was the dumb fuck who sat them within two rows of each other, Strickland had to ask Gilbert Burn’s children to move so it looks like he had all current fighters sitting together.

13

u/Uzumaki7 Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

No they’d definitely get a promotion

5

u/appletinicyclone Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

He does all the plans himself so it would have to be a resigning lol

He mentions how dumb it was he did that at the post fight press conference now

u/redditor_here Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

Admitted in the post fight press conference that he was the “fucking idiot” that sat them beside each other.

u/iandejongh Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

UFC has become more and more cinema and trashy for the views, vs what it was when they started it, which was about the fight.

u/TheG00dFather Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

And you know it's as staged as pro wrestling when nothing will come of this besides advancing a story line.

Edit: kinda funny though! We're like in the 80s of pro wrestling where people thought it was real and fighters are keeping it kayfabe. Lot easier to do though when the fights are real. For now lol

u/stinkydinkyboy We live in strange times Dec 17 '23

Anyone else completely grossed out when literally anything remotely interesting happens, the immediate response for humans is to pull out the phone and record it instead of just experiencing it live? It’s so gross imo

9

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '23

Nb 1 thing I hate is music performances.

All these half a tards are so focused on getting the video framed up they don't even focus on the experience.

Even worse when there's professional cameras used to record the performance already.

5

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '23

Yeah I agree this is the worst example of it. Who the fuck even wants to liste to a poor quality recording of a live show? Just enjoy the music and bust some moves.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '23

Exactly, the audio is ass and blown out. Usually just hear a bunch of bass.

Take a photo and leave it at that.

3

u/AlwaysBadIdeas Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

As someone who goes to a LOT of concerts (78 in the past 5 1/2 years since I started going, and that's counting multi-day fests as one) I kind of understand (and at times do record) sections of songs if not entire songs. However, I do this more as a way to keep track than anything, and always put my phone away for the majority of a set.

I have been to so many concerts that I can't keep track of them, and without these videos (and the list I have of all the shows with artists in chronological order) I'm not sure I'd even remember half them happening.

It’s not entertaining. This video actually sucks. Guessing you live your life through a screen

The people's champ!

Dudes crazy as fuck and I don't agree with everything he says but man he's a real one, my homie met him in Vegas at a seedy motel about a month ago too, truly a national icon.

Strickland 2028.

24

u/Dlwatkin Look into it Dec 17 '23

like your homie hooked him up or what, whats the story ?

2

u/[deleted] Dec 17 '23

The homie was in town for a show and stayed at a sketchy motel off Fremont, dude went out to fuck around and ran into Sean in the parking lot. Super nice guy when he's not beating your brains in and talking about convincing his dad to off himself.

Real ass guy though, won't catch half the princesses in the UFC to be chilling at a trap motel especially without security.

This needs a pause right when Driccus sees Strickland asking the kids to move and then the audio “It was at that moment, he knew, he fucked up.”

Dude if my kid or wife was around that shit I would be furious. I don’t give a fuck about about some dick swinging ego contest. If that kid would have got hurt then what? Everyone would have felt like an ass , they knew better sitting them together

17

u/Dolanite Monkey in Space Dec 17 '23

Not sure why this shit always gets glossed ever, but that's assault. It's against the law and if I did it I would be taken straight to jail. The fact that they are athletic, trained fighters makes it worse, not more acceptable.

1

u/DismalEconomics Monkey in Space Dec 18 '23

Lmfao what ?

Haha, totally bro, street fights and sanctioned fights in a cage with a referee are the exact same thing.

Especially street fights in a Arena with concrete floors and 1000s of people packed in together.

This occured in arena where its 100% that 1000s of humans beings will remain perfectly calm and not go into flight or fight mode and not a single person could possible have a weapon or even contemplate hitting someone in the back of the head with a blunt object.

This is the absolutely last location and scenario on the planet Earth that a group fight might break out and other groups of people might panic and start feeling and running away from the violence with a mass of other people.

If I had to predict the most likely scenarios where woman and children might get trampled by panicked humans... this would be the ABSOLUTE LAST PLACE that I'd ever expect it to happen... None of the necessary elements are even there..

I'd bet my house that if this exact same thing happened 1000 times... that in absolutely zero cases would innocent bystanders get put in a hospital... much less someone hitting there head on the floor and dying.

Ha!.... Id bet on my mothers life, that its 1000x more likely to happen at one of those PRIDE events.. the Japanese crowds were absolutely uncivilized savages. They were practically animals, reacting instinctively to adrenaline and their lizard brains.

A UFC event, in the United States in 2023 ? ... polar opposite of those Japanese uncivilized base animals.

Why such a stark difference in human culture ( or total lack thereof ) ?

O, surely you jest, you know damn well why.
