Armed

After last night's "Fedor vs. Rogers" event there's one question I must pose to my few readers: why don't zuffa still exist. The arguments for its existence are no longer audible. MMA doesn't need them. I'll say we never did. But now, certainly, we don't.

Kill zuffa, that's all.

It's one side of the story, but it's a legit lawsuit against zuffa lapdogs "Affliction." The makers of clothes that look like ugly tattoos  seem to have colluded with zuffa before their MMA event "Affliction: Day of Reckoning" was to take a hit at the box office. Oddly, of their three events, this to be last one was their least promoted.

My stance is that lawyers be damned, zuffa is a parasite that does parasitic things. I, not trying to be objective, am willing to state there were illegal dealings made between zuffa and Affliction behind the scenes (not reported at sherdog.com). The Fertittas are mafia brats, and no more than this, to me. This means they are wimps, but have still learned how to pay people off. It's the same opinion (I wager) for Eddie Goldman but his aim as an analyst is different. Thus we are reminded that M1-Global's lawyers are in fact lawyers, paid to lie, for a living.

Goldman is more than on point in conclusion though: the one good thing that came from the end of Affliction Entertainment was the end of Affliction Entertainment.

Do not let this beginning discussion overshadow the entire NHB. Goldman previews all the huge upcoming fights in combat sports this weekend, headlined for me by "Fedor vs. Rogers." King Mo, recent SVS&E signee joins the host to give his analysis and opinion.

Frank Shamrock spoke with Eddie Goldman to give his analysis of Fedor Emelianenko's debut on a Strikeforce event (co-promoted by M-1 Global and SVS&E), in a cage, on CBS. Shamrock relates how Brett Rogers or anyone with the goods could beat the world's number one fighter and also goes over the significance of having this MMA event on network tv. He believes it is the future of the sport. I would tend to agree but as I've tried to propose these last few months, we're dealing with an MMA fanbase made up of mindless zombies. They aren't interested in bettering the sport. They're not interested in anything. They follow the Fertittas. They'll follow them off a cliff, into an abyss, and straight down to hell. That lump of parasites that is killing the sport is a hurdle adult MMA patrons have to jump.

Goldman also includes comments gathered from Fedor

and Rogers at the press conference for the coming event. The usual mass of zombies were there, trying to make this groundbreaking competition about zuffa. We have to do our best to confront these people and expose them for their endless stupidity. At the very least, take the Socratic approach and ask them why it is they always need to invoke the phantoms that are (pinhead) "dana white"  and (paper tiger) "ufc" every time the topic of MMA comes up.

The sport has not gotten bigger since Pride went down. Zuffa merely stepped into DSE's place. We as a result have worse competitions and a more ignorant fan base. Let's see to it that that changes, just a little bit, this Saturday, November 7th.

As the title states, M-1 Global will seek legal action against the slime-balls at Affliction, who most likely pretended to search for an opponent while they negotiated with zuffa for a new sponsorship deal.

After Josh Barnett allegedly tested positive for steroids, M-1 Global secured Brett Rogers as a replacement opponent. However, behind the scenes, Affliction was doing their best to cancel "Trilogy" and secure new funding from bankrupt Fertitta brothers Lorenzo and Frank.

I'd like to wish M-1 Global and their legal representatives the best of luck in what will likely be a lengthy legal battle, and will work to expose the disgusting Fertittas for what they are.

On this final NHB from the expo, Eddie Goldman interviews Rich Clementi and one of the producers of the upcoming event Clementi will be featured on, Patrick Mooney.

Crissy Lizzy of US Grappling also joins Goldman to discuss this sub wrestling event and its upcoming dates.

Join Bob Carson for this Carson's Corner to hear a few excerpts from the MMA World Expo. The show includes interviews with Rich Clementi and original Lions Club member Eric Nyenhuis (at the 20 minute mark). But folks, this is no trip down memory lane.

The interview with Nyenhuis is testimony to how much of a cancer zuffa is on the sport. You should not comment on that MMA organization again until you've heard how MIkey Burnett got his broken neck (zuffa is so disgusting they even tried to cover this up with a "running into the wall story"), and the unbelievable roadblocks they put up once the injury was diagnosed. I had to listen to it twice to comprehend how disgusting zuffa is.

I'm not sure why anyone still supports zuffa, but if you listen the the Nyenhuis interview and still support them you are truly a parasite sucking the life out of mankind.

Kill Zuffa. That's all.

"It can no longer be said that MMA is safer than boxing."

They were willing to build stadiums for the Olympics "but for MMA they don't have to build anything."

MMA would prosper in New York, easily. But what of the problems the sport presently has, namely the Fertitta brothers. The second day of the MMA "World Expo" as recorded by Eddie Goldman was far more diplomatic than I but I choose to frame it with this contrast. Listen to the audio, but ask yourselves whether New York's sanctioning of the sport would improve the quality of the sport? One would hope. Hope is not enough.

There's the uneducated non-MMA media, and the uneducated MMA media. They're both problematic. The latter wasn't addressed during the expo but we must keep it in mind when . . . no, especially when one of the guest speakers states "we can look at how Nevada does things." If Keith Kizer's payoffs are your guide for sport regulation, you've got trouble.

"Who's looking out for the fighter?" "I would like to see the Mohammad Ali Act extended to Mixed Martial Arts." These are the most important statements of the audio. This discussion begins at 27 minutes or so.

On this NHB Eddie Goldman preview the Joseph Agbeko, Yhonny Perez fight tonight, including his participation in the media conference call for the event.

On the second portion of the show Goldman interviews Jens Sejer Andersen of Play the Game, an organization which aims to create an ethical base for sport. Currently most sports are base on a profit motive. People don't quite understand that profit should not trump competitive values. If it does, you get "Hulk Hogans."

Usually, when someone mentions corruption amongst judges (be it on the Olympic stage or that of combat sports) it's called a crazy conspiracy. Yeah, because mafia brats like the bankrupt Fertittas would never pay someone off---give me a break. This is an important issue. We have to start looking behind the curtains of sport. Most of what makes up the media is just too improperly educated to do so. We have ourselves an uphill battle.

Maybe Larry Hazzard was far too willing to imagine the Fertittas in the room with him when he spoke to Eddie Goldman about the NJSAC putting what are now the standard MMA rules in America into legislation (a sharp disengagement from a few years ago when he wrote letters to explain the Fertittas minuscule participation in regulation) but the interview still serves to clarify a bit of history. Hazzard is a knowledgeable man but is engaged in politics and careerism, which requires one fabricate and overemphasize aspects of memory in order to serve present aims.

Listen, but listen carefully to this the latest NHB.

The State of New York's participation in MMA regulation could completely overhaul the landscape of the sport. Listen here to Eddie Goldman's recording

of the MMA World Expo's Day 1, held in New York, and open your mind to the unspoken history of MMA (submitted by Goldman himself) as well as some analysis from the other panelists. These are the sorts of discussions we should be having about MMA. If we raise the intelligence of the discourse, by default, this foolishness about the WWE will dissolve.

Listen carefully to Goldman's recollection of MMA beginnings. Note duly, MMA has nothing to do with Vince McMahon. This is how Dave Meltzer sees things; that's how he writes history. But ask yourselves: is Meltzer capable of seeing anything detached from this type of theater? Everything he says is filtered through it.
