"You can’t fix stupid." - Dana White

:nut

Ever heard of anti-trust laws? :roll:

 

Stylistically the Evans Jackson fight wasn't gone be good. Rashad was just gone move too much and Rampage was gone chase him with not much action in between, Im glad it's scrapped. In regards to Jackson going for the Movie instead of the fight, whose to say his wrong, acting is a lot easier then getting into the cage and getting smashed. Let the man make his money.

 

Whatcha talkin bout Willis? :huh

What does that have to do with youthinking the President of the UFC should deliberately 'stop competition from thriving' - ie ruin the ****ing sport and create a monopoly.

 

What you fellas don't realize is that there is a place called HOllywood that makes movies, and if Rampage wants to go and be in a movie, well Dana should just take him out back and shoot him. Hes the President of the UFC, thats what hes supposed to do. Thats capitalism :nut

 

Can't blaim Jackson for taking a movie role. If he does well, that is a good way to make money in the future, taking roles. He can only fight for so long.

 

What? You said you 'loved capitalism' before in re. to the UFC not 'allowing' competition to thrive.

Was that just an idle thought that you thought youde jot down for the esb mma community to read, or did it have any relation to the topic being discussed?

Count the number of MMA shows in the US alone, I would think its at least 1000. They are not a monopoly, they just do it better than everybody else.

His job is not to promote other organizations.

 

You say competition makes for a better product.

If Dana is helping other orgs, even if he fails to try to outcompete them at every opportunity, that is not competition, that is collusion.

You are being a hypocrite, you say competition is healthy, but then get your panties in a twist when Dana competes.

 

You mean like when Dana said he wanted the IFL to fail? Or when he gloated at Afflictions demise? Or when he danced over EliteXC's grave? Or when he bought PRIDE, WFA after they went defunct? What about the WEC was that just Dana being nice courtesy of the Ferrtita brothers? How about his current views on Strikeforce because they signed Fedor and he couldnt? Seriously cut out the fortune cookie bull****. Dana is a promoter first. Right now the UFC DOES have a monopoly on MMA. To insinuate that they dont is asinine. Do you actually think he cares about any of those small hall shows? Do you think they have the ability to compete for the same business as the UFC?

Competition is most certainly healthy for ANY FREE enterprise.

 

Competition is competing, not helping; that's the essence of competition, to beat your enemy.

So if competition is good, you can't blame Dana for competeting, that is good after all isn't it?

You people don't want competition, you say you do but you do not, you want hand outs, you want charity, you want the opposite of competition. The whole ****ing point of competition is to not care about your competitors, you want to outcompetite them, not ****ing help them. That is competition, that is how the market gets better, the cream rises to the top. If you want competition, you want people actually competing, not colluding, not helping, not sharing, but going for each others ****ing throats; Dana is just 100x better at it than anybody else.

Do you know what a monopoly is? Break it down, whats the first part of the word? Mono; as in single.

They do not have a monopoly, they are just head and shoulders above their competition.

There are no significant barriers to entry into MMA, look at all the upstarts that put on huge shows. They are just an inferior product and fail, thats not a monopoly, thats one being better than the rest.
