@free

I'm looking at the business side, because if someone like Conor or Colby does something stupid, or says something racist, I as the hypothetical promoter would the one that everyone got mad at because the question thrown at me would be "Why did you allow him to say that?

Look, if you can't understand the very high likelihood of market manipulation in a situation where the UFC appoints its own adjudicators you shouldn't even be thinking about this stuff. ONE is just a Billionaire's pet Ludus. That's not a good example.

It wasn’t a robbery at all. Every time a villain type like Jones wins a close decision the water works come outta pouring, flowing with vengeance.  

The only round Reyes owned was the first. I thought he won the second too but but Jones had started slipping, blocking and rolling the brunt of the punches. The third was a coin toss round. 4 was close but I gave to Jones and 5 was clear Jones. Basically 1&5 were the only clear as day dominant rounds in the fight. By the end Reyes fought like he thought he had the lead and tried to coast, let up the pressure that won him the early rounds and paid the cost.  

All ya haters are more than welcome to Neg my posts away all yous guys like, encouraged even. However, there was no robbery at all. It was very similar to Gus I.   LuLz. I do understand the criteria to score fights and round by round the damage was pretty equal. Stop letting hate and bias influence your perception of reality or fantasy will continue to overcome and become your reality. You’ll remain salty, bitter and without a clue. 

Good close fight. Could’ve gone either way and it wouldn’t be a robbery. Reyes has definitely earned a rematch or at the least should only be a win away for one. 

Thanks for coming everyone. See ya next event.

Contraire  @tepid. Irregardless of real words or how we feel about given situations, it’s kinda proven that baby faces and heels have more than just room but entire housing in MMA. In fact it clearly sells.  Make no mistake, while many value the honor, respect and martial way just as many if not more value the WWF profake wrestling style.

@loudenSwain

MMA never should've been dumbed down to appeal to the dregs of society, but that's what happens when people that know nothing about MMA are allowed to buy an MMA promotion.

P.S.

Most of the people that know how MMA should be promoted don't have the money, and most of the people that have the money don't know what they're doing.

@tepid don’t get me wrong. There’s tons I don’t like about the direction some promoters are taking the sport. I loathe profake wrestling and their antics in MMA. I  haven’t watched it since grade school in the 80s when I went to my first real wrestling practice and realized I couldn’t actually go off the top turnbuckle.  If I personally want drama  I’ll put on a movie or tv. I haven’t even followed much mma media or interviews or any of the press conferences in about a decade honestly. I simply watch fights and don’t pay attention to all the other ****. 

All that said, I know it sells. As long as it does sell and this is a money game. This shirt will be what it is. Much bigger than mma bro..just the way of the world.   Sucks but true.

I would be happy knowing that I was attracting fans that understand MMA is a sport and that the athletes respect the sport, the fans, and each other.

I'll say it again, that is not the real world!  A lot of people are *******s, a lot of people like drama, a lot of people are attracted to conflict and drama and they will pay money for this as a form of entertainment, owners of companies like to make money.
These are just a few very simple concepts you seem unable to understand and unwilling to accept. 
Why don't you stop watching the UFC, Bellator, Boxing any othetr form of entertainment really and stick to ONE where it is ALL ABOUT HONOUR AND RESPECT!!!

I just rewatched the first three rounds. With extreme attention. Paused after every exchange and notated what happened.

Reyes definitely got ripped off. When you watch it closely, those first three rounds weren't even close and it was all Reyes, Watching it live I thought Reyes won, but thought it was close. I no longer think that. Has nothing to do with not liking Jones, it's just what happened. Read my recount in another thread and you'll see what I mean. Zero bias.
