Thats awesome that Dana gave Ebersole that much money just for getting a quick finish, I dont know what Hallman was thinking, maybe by shocking everyone he would get more fame?

It'll be good for him now that he's gonna be fired...when he gets to the smaller cards he'll have a bigger name and demand a bigger check...Kind of sad thats what he needed to do when he's got 2 wins over Matt Hughes in his career!!

I hope Ebersole shaves some other funny designs on his chest, other than the hairow!

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!  I have a lot of respect for Dana White, but is he ****phobic?  As a complete newbie to MMA, my feeling is that if Dude wants to wear Speedos, I say more fun for the fans.  Quit being a bunch of uptight prissies. ;-)

Its not about being a ****phobic its about having to look at that.. Hallman showed his junk at one point that may be alright to woman but to me that is just not right at all!

Agree with parts of what @clayhalo is saying. Dana should be careful in how he responds to the situation, otherwise he will come off ****phobic.

However I don't agree that Hallman's shorts were appropriate. In any sport, the gear you wear is meant to be functional and effective.  MMA fighters wear a certain type of glove that's meant to add safety for the fighters and not fall off as soon as they begin wrestling.  The speedo failed that test when they got pulled down exposing his junk in the middle of the fight.  If the shorts don't work, you shouldn't be wearing them.

I dont think he will come off as ****phobic, but really those shorts were bad, kids watch the UFC too, imagine if one of the female fighters would have worn that, it would have been an end to the sport.  wearing a speedo like that is taking away the creditibility of MMA as a legit sport, and making it seem like a freakshow

@t0rch remember Tuff season 4, Mr International.......YUK besides Serra's annoying voice coaching through every fight Mr Internationals speedos ruined that season for me.

I couldn't stop laughing when that happened but why would he be allowed to come out in those ridiculous things and fight. This had to have been the most odd match-up I have ever seen, one guy has a shaved arrow on his chest the other, comes out in speedos. I also think Hallman got the takedown so quick because Ebersole was confused as to why he would wear those... I know I was.

I dont think the short should be a big deal by themselves. He was wearing speedo's big deal. The only thing that is justifiable to get mad about is his junk falling out. If your going to try and be funny and wear speedo's make sure your junk is secure.

Ebersole had to KO him for wearing those.
