This is the problem though I mean you have the mob owning the two largest MMA organizations in the world. You think it isn't going to end up scripted at some point so their bets win?
This will be interesting to see but I bet in the course of the next 3 years it goes by way of WWF meets RAW as far as the soap opera stories go and the fighters, although still taking a beating, will be nothing more than action heros just like the movies.

lol. Yea if you're muscular it doesnt apply as much. Its hard to calculate someone without seeing them. You dont look like you're 220. I'm 185 now but I'd like to get to 200 and see where I could go from there. My immediate goal is to get to 190.

Are the Fertitta brothers associated with the mob? I know there was speculation about the Pride owner being associated with the mob. So if that was the case then Pride would have been scripted to suit bets. As far as I know or I havent heard of the Fertitta brothers having mob connections. No offense to you but for the sake of MMA I hope you're wrong. I really would hate to see it go that way. I cant stand WWF for the reasons you have mentioned. Boxing is cool but I like the versatility of MMA.
the rumours abound everywhere. Maybe they are just two guys with Italian blood, but coming up virtually out of nowhere and running a huge organization in the US tends to lead to speculation. the bigger part of this being that the fight world is notoriously close quartered with mob connections and not too many go anywhere without some type of tie in no matter how seemingly small it is.
I dunno, I may be wrong and I really hope I am, but I have to go with my gut on this one.
