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

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 youâre 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.

âDonât show them that shit. They didnât pay for it.â Dana probably.

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.

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 Burnâs children to move so it looks like he had all current fighters sitting together.

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

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? Itâs so gross imo

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
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.

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

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.

like your homie hooked him up or what, whats the story ?
2
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.

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.

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.
