I'm Dana White. You might remember me from such roles as President of the UFC, and Antagonist of Mighty Mouse.

Well, I'm here to present to you a new product of my own devising: Tuesday night fights.

That's right, instead of the same old Friday or Saturday night fights, where you get to sleep in the next morning, I am putting on fights on a Tuesday. You might think I'm crazy!! But I'm not, and I'll prove it: every fight under this new promotion will feature untested rookies. "But Dana," you might ask, "I don't give a poo poo about unranked fighters." You know what? That's OK. But my response is: are you some kinda dummy? Listen up stupid, you are going to pay me money for this.

Also Snoop Dogg :snoop:

First episode: Tuesday, July 11, 2017

Fight card:

Featherweights: Kurt Holobaugh vs. Matt Bessette
Heavyweights: Greg Rebellos vs. Azunna Anwanyu
Bantamweights: Boston Salmon vs. Ricky Turcios
Middleweights: Justin Jones vs. Charles Byrd
Flyweights: Joby Sanchez vs. Manny Vazquez

You might not have heard of these guys, but you know what? gently caress you.

Boston Salmon is apparently an actual fighter and not a low-budget chain seafood restaurant

I remember Boston Salmon as being HOT poo poo for about a minute on the Z-leagues years ago for doing the unthinkable and throwing two punches in a row with the same fuckin hand

To be fair, tuf fights often suck largely because they stick people in a house without steroids and make them fight 1-3 times in a month span, knowing their opponent on a day or two's notice

Yeah thats a good point. I feel like theres more mismatches around amateur MMA though. Are these guys like semipros, where they have sponsors and get paid like 50 bucks by the bar that they fight at?

I'm not necessarily proud of this but I'm gonna leave it here anyways.
I feel like Boston Salmon must have toughened up into a fighter via the method explained in Johnny Cash's "Boy Named Sue".

Boston Salmon fought the guy that Michael Schiavello kept calling "My Anus"

They all seem to be pros with at least some fights under their belt. Many of them are like 35 years old. Joby Sanchez and Kurt Holobaugh have actually fought in the UFC before too.

Yeah I get the feeling this is the B-leagues for guys that don't want to abandon their family for 2 months or however long TUF filming is

I met Kurt at my gym during a jits class Thursday. He seemed pretty cool. I did not get a chance to roll with him though.

I met Charles Byrd at an airport bathroom and he's like "Hey I'm Charles Byrd" and I was like "I said no names".

So does Dana emerge from a cocaine haze at the end of every episode and offer a dude a contract?
