If I had said China you'd have to have corrected that as well!

I came in and was totally confused at what they were playing. Also said i had to download something to take part

I get that but an expansion no that idea is needed. Mainly because it so closely looks just like the old VHLM system.

Yeah but you signed 20 years after FA started haha

Well I would hope not, otherwise they got some crazy ideas on how to talk to pending FA's.

Oh no that comment was geared to ones saying "I told you so" or "Shoulda, coulda, woulda". I find it funny because if their foresight was as accurate as their hindsight, why are they commenting from positions of not making the postseason? One can be said for those who burn those FA bridges.

Unlike the last election, you actually have to expand on your "idea" and not just make promises on huge things. Not saying you're full of hot air, but saying you have an idea and actually posting the idea are two different things.

Was Greg even the one doing things? I heard tfong was basically coaching. Also, I go my entire tenure in the this league 52 seasons loyal to teams and then make one decision to try and do things on your own and people smack it. Gotta love being a FA again and having the hypocritical GM's come calling again. Nice work lads. Congrats Toronto, you guys deserve this!

I want to know which policies that Pence supports, do you support? Do you think Trump being the president has an effect on the VHL's American franchises (Seattle & New York)? If so what exactly does it change?

Exactly! I just read his bio as well and he scares me even more. Described as the "quiet frat boy who sits in the corner and listens to everything and then blows things up".

But she also defined how not to lose. I get losing is tough but for someone that was a role model for young girls, to lose and then say you are ready to end it all? Come on now Ronda. Champions lose (I don't know a good fighter out there who is undefeated) but the way she lost after the fight was in her actions. She defined an ungrateful loser with too much ego to allow her to just shake Holm's hand and say that she got beat fair and square. That right there is the person they gave a shot to as soon as she came back. So if she wants confidence back she can't actually paint her next fight as the biggest one or we better not here her pumping her own tires considering this one is just a "confidence booster". See you brought up a good point, it all gets cleared up with the weight divisions but yet it should've been cleared up before considering Dana went back on his word (which he does so often). Blaming it on weight divisions isn't a cop out, but it is an exact point no why the UFC is mismanaged by the ego driven Dana White. Sorry, for me UFC is a good pay-per-view pusher but not a great MMA display and quite frankly that is why I stopped paying for PPV.

Pence scares the shit out of me.

Oh no, I will be the first to admit bullshit sells. I see you on level minds there. The UFC is smart because the bullshit and drama in behind each fight is what sells it. That doesn't make it the company with the best product in the octagon. I'm not saying UFC isn't succeeding right now. What I am telling you is that Bellator is creeping up in ratings, that's a fact; not just something I made up. I have a long history with the sport of MMA and have been around it well down into my youth and the UFC doesn't preach respect and integrity (something MMA fighters are brought up to do). It is now about who can out trash talk the other fighter before the bout, and although we both agree that that sells; it's not what MMA is brought up on. You can change your style, techniques, science of fighting, weight cutting tactics but never should you allow your product to change it's humbleness/class. That is something the UFC has failed to realize and quite frankly that is why a large majority of fighters have come out and said that Dana and the UFC treats its fighters like dogs in a show race and not like actual employees giving back to the company. I'm not arguing against the UFC being a legit company for showcasing talent, I'm arguing that the UFC is slowly losing it's value a little with the way they treat talent and how they portray themselves to traditional MMA fighters/audiences and legends. You say there are more LOL moments in Bellator but also failed to mention that Rousey got beat and when she decides to come back she gets a top shot at the title? Or how UFC (Dana himself) mentioned that Conor should have to drop one belt at one weight class if he chooses to fight out of that weight class and grab a belt elsewhere? UFC says one thing and does another. The problem lies that they are so focused on giving you that drama filled press-conference followed by a fight that they don't see the actual integrity behind it. How has Ronda not fought Cyborg before she fights Nunes? Hard to explain all those and then say that the UFC prides itself on rewarding people like Bisping. Yes he had to climb the ranks but what about the other people who didn't flake out on the UFC like Ronda did? That didn't stay at home instead of coming to a press event like Conor? Just so many questions and don't get me started on the Reebok deal.

Calgary's is: Calgary Corral. It should be The Saloon

The sport itself is evolving, I get that. The business side of the UFC however is screwed up with so much politics that it makes it hard to watch. You need to differentiate the two. The sport of Mixed Martial Arts and the company known as UFC are not the exact same. The sport is a sport, the company is just the biggest company that holds those fights/bouts. Dana's in behind shit makes it really hard to respect the man, and in the past year you've seen a lot more fighters vocal about that side of things. There is a reason Pride and K1 were/are a better reflection on the sport itself. You want the science of the sport? Watch old Pride fights and K1 fights. I get both you and Chris are big WWE fans so it could appeal to you, but the UFC in itself is not the best reflection of the MMA world.

Money wise, you'll see a lot more. I'm just saying the UFC treats its fighters like shit and a once contracts run out the fighters are now thinking of going elsewhere.

Cause the feeling, is just so right @frescoelmo

Technically he should give one belt up though, as per UFC's agreement and comment on that. I don't like Conor because he can sometimes be one of the worst things for the sport and sometimes be a good hype machine. I think the bout to watch on that card the most is Joanna's fight. Technically she is the best pound for pound fighter in the UFC (male or female) and she is so sound on the ground. Tate better hope that she herself did some training in different areas because the reason she gets beat is because she tends to only train in certain aspects of her game. You need a complete game now as the young fighters coming through train in many different disciplines. UFC is a second rate organization though, there is a reason fighters are going to Bellator now.

Martin and Marner are on the same team...

If Matt Martin went after Marner, I think there would be bigger problems. Matt Martin went after Stecher.

@Jericho followed us. YOU should too!

This ones a nail biter

Close game 1

And you need to remember how much others have given to that franchise. That franchise is old in tradition, a tradition laced with success and HOF careers. Also it's a franchise that one ups almost every single other franchise in the league. By pitching you actually are saying "fuck history" because thats essentially what you'd be flushing down the toilet by moving a successful franchise. I should note I have no true positive ties to Davos, that franchise is the reason I lack 2-3 more cups in fact. But it's like telling the Detroit Red Wings they now must move to Cleveland.
