Joe Silva's intense hatred of Akiyama was a thing of beauty. I still have a hard time believing that Vitor/Akiyama was a thing that happened.

I don’t think Brendan Schaub can do Dana’s job. Dana is paid to be criticized all day, Brendan is a delicate baby and would get really mad all day if he had Dana’s job.

DC would easily bitch toss Yoel, but it would be easier for him to dirty box him to death.

He loaded his gloves against Sakuraba, which is totally the kind of thing mega fight nerd Joe Silva would know about and act on. I can't say it was undeserved.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I entirely forgot about Akiyama losing his way into harder and harder fights it was so awesome.

Joe Silva was the only employee carried over from SEG when Zuffa bought the UFC, iirc. Dana & the Fertittas had nothing to do with Silva getting hired, but rather they just kept him onboard when they bought the thing.

SEG were the original owners of the UFC. I'm pretty sure that Forrest is indeed still employed by the WME-IMG version of the UFC, though.

You’re right but he wasn’t head matchmaker until Tito suggested him to Dana after the zuffa purchase. Cool story lol

I couldn't remember the specifics and had to look it up, but yes, he did do some backstage reporting and such in the SEG days, but he quit because he wasn't getting paid and didn't start with Zuffa UFC until they had been around for a few years.

INT. SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTH/KITCHEN - DAY (EARLY DAYS OF
SLAVERY)

Joe Silva's grandmother carries a tape of grainy Bucharest-ian MMA into a dining
room. She puts it in the VCR in front of a wealthy white
man.

TITO (V.O.)
And her momma before her momma watched
MMA, too. Joe's family knew
everything...

INT. HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM CORRIDOR - DAY (1996)

TITO (V.O.)
...there was to know about the
punchin' business.

JOE
I know everything there is to know
about the punchin' business. Matter
of fact, I'm goin' into the match makin'
business for myself after I finally
stop mopping up after Dana's freakshow.

Okay.

The Silva hates Akiyama stuff was also like three other fighters he didn’t like and it was solely because people kept telling him to sign Akiyama and the others because they thought they were really good and Silva thought thus sucked poo poo.

The Diaz brothers will never fight again. They're tough guys until a fight is actually made and then they go back into hiding. They're both brain dead poseurs at this point in their careers. Another way to keep in the spotlight without actually doing anything.
