There is a line from scripture that says, "As a man soweth, so shall he reap".  So it is happening to President Dana White.  He has so screwed Jon Fitch that the long arm of God has come down from on high, and sought to wreck havoc with Dana White business.  The UFC.  

Ever since Dana and Joe Silva matched Fitch with Jonny Hendricks, the UFC has gone to Hell in a hurry.  Whenever a boss tries to undermine his employee's career, it backfires and blows up in his face.  Ever since King Divid sent Bathsheba's husband to the front lines to be killed in battle, big guys have run into trouble.

Before your jaws hit the ground, hear me out.  The argument is compelling.  One day, the UFC is riding high, on top of the world, and in very short order, everything seems to go wrong.  Murphy's Law on steroids is a good way to describe the Law of Karma.  Karma is a ***** and it's biting President Dana White hard in the ass.

Jon Fitch was coming off an injury and the top guys were all matched up.  So, instead of waiting for someone to come available, they matched him with a no-name newcomer, who hadn't earned the second best WW.  Never mind Fitch got knocked out.  That doesn't mean the match should have been made.  They could have waited for an appropriate contender, like Hughes, Shields, rematch with Penn, etc.  But no.  They screwed him.

Now, Hendricks gets Koscheck, Fitch gets - Aaron Simpson?  No.  I don't think so.  Just as inappropriate as Hendricks was.
http://www.mmaweekly.com/jon-fitch-welcomes-aaron-simpson-to-the-welterweight-division

I said at the time that if the UFC didn't give Fitch an appropriate contender, shame on them and Karma would soon go to work.  And, it has!  Big Time!  HUGE!  MASSIVE REPRISALS!

The Long Arm of God has reached down and screwed Dana White to the Wall.  It took his cash cow, Brock Lesnar, off the chessboard.  It then removed GSP for an extended period.  The 2 big draws.  But the Law of Karma was just getting started with gutting Dana White's business.  

It took Anderson Silva out of commission for a long period.  It took BJ Penn off the chessboard.  Then Nick Diaz.  So many of the best, most amazing fighters for a long time were suddenly old and fighting badly.  Matt Hughes, BJ Penn, Cro-Cop, Wanderlei Silva, Tito Ortiz.  One day Forrest Griffin is great, the next day he is sluggish and listless.  

It's one thing to have a slump.  Injuries happen.  Part of sports.  But to have so many things go wrong?  Bad timing, missed opportunities?  Dana took the Brock Lesnar news in stride, obviously because he wrongly anticipated Alistar Overeem replacing him as a cash cow.  But now, even he is in question.

President White can turn it around.  If I were Frank Fertilla, I'd tell Dana to make it right with Jon Fitch.  Scrub the Simpson fight, and match Fitch with Matt Hughes.  Or Jake Shields.  Tell BJ that if he wants to come back, he has to finish his business with Fitch in a 5-rounder.  Make things right.  Do the right thing.

There still is time for the UFC to hit new highs.  When GSP is ready to come back around November, schedule on the same card, a rematch between Velasquez/JDS, and a fight between Jon Jones and Anderson Silva.  With those 3 killer superfights, the UFC might hit between 1M - 1.3M PPV buys.  Three times the pop as the usual fare.

But unless Dana White fixes his attempted destruction and undermining of Fitch's career, it will all go awry.  When a man is on a downward spiral of negative karma, nothing seems to go right.  When the water is spilling over the sink, turn off the spigot before you start mopping the floor.

This year, the UFC hardly got over 600,000 PPV buys.  Sounds like karma to me.
Turn around, Dana.  Change your evil ways.  The sad part is that if the UFC goes down, it will take MMA down with it and a lot of wonder fighters.  They worked too hard to come to such a unjustified fate.

I realize this post will set a record for the most down arrows, but I just don't care anymore.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.  Just got home from work.  You know what?  I've been thinking about this all day.  And I've come to a decision.  

I think it's time to close this thread down.  It's served its purpose.  Time to move on.  

After thinking really deeply about this, and meditating on it, too, I think that I have been wrong about the injuries happening as a result of Dana White treating Jon Fitch wrong.  Don't get me wrong.  I still do think Dana White is treating Fitch unfairly, but I no longer believe that the Law of Karma is screwing with Dana's UFC business as a result.

The Law of Karma is probably much more precise than that, and can deal with Dana more directly and personally.  It would not hurt everyone around him as collateral damage.

So, here is what I propose.  I will ask no that after today, no one continues to post on this thread.  Let's let it drift to the bottom of the archives like the Titanic drifting to the bottom of the Atlantic.

I will create a new thread, itemizing all the injuries.  They may have to do with another factor which I will reveal in that new thread.  A factor that no one has probably considered.  Aside from the insurance factor.

I will also create a new thread with respect to Dana White and Jon Fitch.  And I will also start 2 brand new threads that I was thinking about today.  

I thank everyone who supported me on this thread.  Oh how I wish we had a polling mechanism here.  To let us all know the levels of support and non-support.  Much more focused than arrows.  

Thank you everyone!

LEt me prupose that you simply change the OP to make it about the injuries and other tragedies that are going on. I like the idea of keeping track of it and speculating about it.

I will offer a new thread that will do just that, Benny Boy from Buffalo.  I will continue to track all the injuries.  And I have a brand new idea that might be relevant to those injuries.

But this thread is now so loaded with nonsense, and haircut jokes and stuff, that it needs to go bye bye.

But fear not.  I will excerpt all the relevant stuff, and it will not be lost.  I promise.

This thread has served its purpose.  It's run its course.  We're not interrupting it.  It is completed in its purpose and mission.  Time to move on and let this die a natural death.

Ya know, it's funny.  Everyone here freaked out because I used the taboo word, 'karma'.  It showed how much power that word has.  So many weren't ready for it.

But now, there is another, Ben Henderson is an Illuminati.  

That thread makes this one look tame.  I wonder if the young of the world are following the countless updates with respect to the Ascension.  That planet Earth is now in the process of evolving into a higher dimension of being.

I have followed this scenario since 1996, reading Sheldan Nidle's updates every Tuesday.  That makes this thread look like a well-behaved choir boy in Sunday Church.  

But if MMA fans are following the Ascension, it would blow even my mind.  And my mind is almost blow-proof.  And by the way, I don't do non-prescription drugs.  It's hard enough already.
