    I hate Zuffa so much I paid £200 for a ticket for the weak Bisping v Akiyama card in London and spent 5 hours on a bus to get there

    For the record I've never accused you of being a UFC hater. Nothing could be further from the truth.

    Daley is really shooting himself in the foot. He has to accept that he was rightly fired for striking an opponent after the fight ended. You just can't do that,. its the most basic and severe flagrancy of the code of professional fighting

    But Penn can choke some out after the bell? Palhares can destroy his opponents knee by holding on to a heel hook for too long essentially being dragged off his opponent by the ref? Nate Diaz can sucker punch opponents in rival organisations because it didn't happen on a UFC show? (Oops that IS a Zuffa show now...) What about Babalu who also got his marching orders for doing the same? (Oops he's a Zuffa fighter too now)
    There's a CLEAR double standard here as apart from one of the aforementioned they're all still in the UFC. Academic now that SF has been aquired.

    He better wake the **** up cuz there's no other big organization left for him. UFC-WEC-Strikeforce are it. Just fight diaz and kick his ass.

    The whole point of this thread is that he should have a choice, not who Dana lets him fight as some sort of privilege.

    I understand Daley's beef. He doesn't want Strikeforce to fold, be used and left without a job. That's pretty cold.

    Exactly! and whats even worse would be all the HW all having to fight one another, and having King Mo,Moussasi,Diaz,Melendez,Noons,etc having to fight the best. I can understand you being mad becuase your an E-board fighter but for the most part the worst thing that can happen is the best fighting the best.

    let's be honest since pride falling this is just another blow to your existance, you might be on suicide watch now.:lol:

    As bad as things have been between Daley,Barnett and Dana i hope Dana will be open minded to these guys comming in even though they have **** on Dana and the UFC. Tito dissed Dana very bad and he took him back even though he really didn't need too. I would like like too think Dana and Barnett could talk like civialzed men if they had too.
