I'm so happy to see bonafide morons arguing that USADA is a method by which the US Government is trying to keep marijuana down in some Metal Gear Solid-esque master plot.

e: Oh, he's a Lloyd Irvin guy. Grozz.

I knew so many Lloyd Irvin guys when that stuff went down thanks to being relatively close to Baltimore. A lot of apologists were outed on my Facebook feed as a result.

One of my buddies from college trained with Danny Ives' team during the school breaks. Is Danny still a Lloyd guy or did he sever ties as well?

I'm pretty surprised by this decision. I thought it would be easy to call them independant contractors and tell Leslie Smith to hit the bricks. I have nothing against her, but I didn't think she would win, and she still hasn't yet.

If after whatever happens from here all the various boards and courts eventually say that its final that UFC fighters are employees, then its hard to say what that'll mean for the sport of MMA, but that would be very, very bad for WME.

Is it because they still have debt from the purchase they can't pay off?

Rigel posted:

No, thats a sunk cost. It would be because the value of the UFC where their roster are all employees would be quite a bit less than the value of the roster where everyone is an independent contractor.

I was being facetious because everyone has kept harping that WME are in big trouble every other PPV if it doesn't get millions of buys.
