EddieG Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 If it's up to Dana White, you can get fired if he fucking wants you to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzy Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Again, if he wants to fire people because he "fucking wants to" then he would've done it to Nik Lentz in August considering how pissed off he was for tanking the ratings. But I see that this will never get through to you, so that's the last thing I'll say on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieG Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Dana is known for giving people second chances, Lentz got his. Brown's had plenty, lost 3 in a row, and now put a crowd to sleep, including Dana as he pointed out on Twitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mr. potato head Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Good lord Eddie. People don't get fired "because Dana wants them to". I think, among many other considerations, the law would have something to say about that. Every UFC fighter has a clause in their contract that they can be cut after a loss. Dana fires people he wants to after a loss, but that's it. As Fitzy said, he would have fired Lentz after the Winner fight - or if he lost in his next fight, or the fight after that. But he won them all, so that couldn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Just watched it. Wow. That was insane. That second punch Kongo took, I though he was out. The second punch Barry took looked like it almost killed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRN Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Poor Pat Barry. But at least Matt Brown won so I am happy. Also, what the fuck was up with the referee in the Rick Story/Charlie Brenneman fight, standing them up from a submission position? :/ Fucking referees.

gunnar hendershow Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Kongo looks like he doesn't even know where he is when he knocks Barry out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Marquardt was apparently having HRT for testosterone deficiency, and didn't get the paperwork sorted out in time for him to be cleared to fight. Or something like that. Can understand why Dana was pissed off...if it was an issue that Nate was aware of 6 weeks ago, and could have resolved, to not get it done was pretty shit, especially as it left them a day to shuffle a card around.

Or something like that. Can understand why Dana was pissed off...if it was an issue that Nate was aware of 6 weeks ago, and could have resolved, to not get it done was pretty shit, especially as it left them a day to shuffle a card around. he had been on the treatment for his two previous fights and had passed tests for both. However with testosterone replacement therapy you have to go off the treatment of some periods as you run the risk of the testes shutting down. Coming back on to the treatment in the aftermath of the Miller fight in New Jersey (where he passed all his drug tests) his doctor recommended rather than the pills he had been taking that a single injection would help his condition (a condition that is apparently undiagnosed and noone is really sure of what it exactly is), this elevated his testosterone levels such that blood tests for several weeks out from the fight were unnaturally high and were not dropping quickly, and unfortunately Nate was unsure of the injection as he was not 100% confident it would not cause problems with drug testing, licensing, etc... for the Johnson/Story fight. Coming in to fight week the levels were dropping to the point where Nate and his team felt he would past the tests come fight day. Nate's independent tests were such that they were still above the threshold level required by the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission and as a result the doctor suggest he did not take the test and fail so Nate was pulled from the fight just 15 minutes before the weigh-ins, had the fight been a night later Nate would have been able to pass the test assuming their own tests have been accurate. Throughout this illness (going back to around the time he fought Palhares last September) The UFC have been aware of all this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was posted on another website: Nate put down Hormone Replacement Therapy on his initial medicals/application 6 weeks ago. PA wanted a doctor's note/confirmation to get it approved and he just kept stalling and stalling. Bit less it than what yours suggested, but also puts Nate more in the wrong than yours would suggest. So yeah, I don't really know >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
