Well I have had my previous thread deleted off the server which was a good thing. I wil clean up my presentation this time I promise.

We all know he plead guilty to being a gang leader of a group of thugs who would gang bash people at random. The footage of one beating was captured on surveillance camera.

So, here the question. Did it or does it bother you watching fighters who have sketchy pasts or guilty of crimes that involve violence against innocent people? I'm sure that the victims of Rob's group of thugs don't appreciate the UFC having him.

So, where should the UFC draw the line? Should they? Do you not care about the history of fighters even though their offenses are dispicable?

I'm a bit confused right, because Dana is so high and mighty on TUF about guys making the fighters look like a bunch of thugs? He kicks people off the show when they make the MMA fighters look like brainless thugs. So, we have Dana with a convicted criminal who lead a group of thugs who went on random beating sprees, as part of a PPV event. Seems very hypocritical to me. Almost sickingly hypocritical. Not even to mention "the saint" as his fighting name.

Having said all this. I think Rob is likely my favorite fighter all time on TUF. The guys seems tough as nails quite honestly and showed that he can bounce off the mat after taking a serious shot. I'm sure he's changed his ways and forgive and forget is what my wife is always telling me. Again, I'm just amazed at how hypocritical it seems of the UFC to have him in their organization. I hope Dana has a warm heart and can at least give Rob a chance to prove himself. He is a top notch fighter, so I see him rising to the top of the division quickly based on his PPV fight.
