clubbing is not destructive, it seems as if you are assuming that by having a night on the town they are doing recreational drugs, consuming excessive alcohol, and screwing loose women

stillstanding | I do find it chicken sh*T that Ortiz signed contract to fight with the bossman and after Dana White busted his own ass getting into shape and doing all the work for this "exibition" to take place Tito doesn't show. That is chicken, he could have called it off weeks before saying his reasons instead of being a jerk about it. |
It was a plot to get Dana back in shape. And waste an hour of my time.:mad:

It really depends on what AA is asking for in a contract. If hes asking for Randy or Liddell type money, then I wouldnt sign him back either. The truth is he hasnt performed very well in his last four fights. Hes 2 - 2 with one win being a decision.

Last time I checked, Dana wasn't a fighter. Tito was at least smart enough not to kick his Boss's ass.
The AA/Werdum fight was one of the 2 most boring Fights I have seen lately. The Marquardt/Salaverry Fight was terrible too. AA/Tim 2 was a snoozer as well.
It is all about the $$$$ and I for darn sure wouldn't buy PPV that headlined Arlovski. Some would, I know, but many others wouldn't.
As to having an "active social life" and "clubbing", a lot of fans don't want to be bothered with info like that, or steroid use, or recreational drug use, or anything else that else that "takes the shine" off their favorite fighters. But these things have a very real effect on how guys perform in a fight, and as such - they matter.

Dana White isnt a fighter so its not fighter bashing. Dana White isnt a member, so its not member bashing.. its all gravy.

stillstanding | I know that I am a dot in no where and don't have much say in FF but when someone says F**K Dana White, to me that is bashing. How would you guys liked it if I said F**K Randy Couture. I would be in dog house for sure LOL. (I am a big fan of Randy by the way so don't chase me out with torches just yet! :D
Anyway, all I'm saying is that even though he is unpopular to some, I tend to like him for what he has done. And saying F**K 'someone' is bashing in my eyes. |
I respect everyone's opinion! Aika obviously hates Dana White.. I'm starting to.. And you like Dana! Regarding his user title being "bashing" or not.. I can't comment on that since i'm not sure where's the redline.. So I prefer to let Aika replys to you!

Lately it just seems like it's been the bigger fights with AA. His 3rd fight with Sylvia was a huge disappointment and his fight with Werdum (although i thought it wasn't that bad) was a disappointment to most as well. Hopefully he will get back to his old self after 2 straight W's.

Like it or not this is an ENTERTAINMENT business. If you don't entertain you don't get paid...and AA hasn't exactly brought a smile to the every day fan recently. AA just happens to have picked a poor time to not bring the goods.

Shoney | That's exactly how I feel. I remember thinking he was unstoppable after the first Sylvia fight. The only one who had a legit chance of beating Fedor. |
I think personaly the treatment of AA is totaly unfair. Have to be exiting against someone(werdum) that dont wanna strike with him???? That is just plain bullsh^^. They ask him to throw himself into the fight and risk getting cought to entertain? This is just silly. Another thingi is that I did not find hes last fight really boring eihter. He is the kind of nice striker to look at. It can really never get boring for me :) He got very nice manners aswell. Give him a break is what I would say. Every fight live theyre owe life, it take 2 figterst to make a good fight. Hes last fight was deffenetly not hes foult. Give him somone like Cro Cop or Big Nog and I am 100% sure it will be a good fight.

Hopefully this will make AA realize that he just can't sit back and hope to win decisions if he wants to be a contender in teh stacked HW division. If he comes back to his old self there's no reason why he can't be the top dog in the ufc once again.

I would be very disappointed if the UFC didn't renew his contract. However it's also true what you guys have said about his commitment. He needs to realize certain things and when he do I hope he comes back better than ever. He is one of my favorite fighters and I hope he will do good in the future.
