I was cageside. It was Alvarado’s wrestling that produced the 30-27. He scored with his takedowns and his control from the top, not his striking.

WOW! This comment is for the alvarado vs miller update. I’m not sure if u seen that fight right by alvarado nearly knocked miller out in the first! He also threw some successful kicks througout the fight and had a few flurries! I believe alvarado dominated plenty……. That’s why it was a scorecard of 27-30 ……..

what the heck! they show ads with ladies parading around in underwear for Victoria’s Secret and Fruit of the Loom and that is actually illegal out in the street, but purchasing guns for hunting etc is legal and that is getting banned? that is thumbing your nose at guns, sticking it to the UFC fighters and the little businesses trying to make a living! a lot of these UFC guys enjoy hunting and camping with their families along with their fans, fox is really letting the little man down if they go ahead with that! fox will be demonizing guns which is wrong, time to start getting on the horn and letting them know how we feel, that is just not acceptable!

FOX has lost their minds and forgot about the constitution and right to bear arms. FOX doesn’t support GUN RIGHTS now!?! Everyone will have to put in complaints with both them and the UFC and Dana, that is absolute CRAP. If that is the case I’ll just stop watching FOX, paying/viewing UFC, and watch it online for free.

Well, the way I see it is like this:
Dana buys UFC. Sells soul to Rupert Murdoch. Pvt.Joker stops watching UFC, not Fox, because that was where the policy change took effect.
Didja get that?

Punish the effect. Not the cause. You can’t bring Rupert down, but you can decrease the value of a brand he bought and perverted against our interests.

But nothing is actually changing on the network. They haven’t been showing any gun related content. The only thing changing is that UFC fighters can no longer be sponsored by weapons companies. In fact, the handful of fighters sponsored by Ammotogo.com on the FX event are probably the only gun advertisements that Fox has had on air in decades.
