Mike- Do I think these guys look like idiots, YES. Does Dana seem to give a damn, NO. I was completely disgusted in what was I think the second episode and Dana gave Junie Browning “another shot.” But then I literally spit my beer out on the next show when Junie jumped the cage and Dana was saying how Junie was lucky that the head of the NSAC wasn’t there because he would have flipped. WHAT? It’s your show! You are the one who let him off and gave him a last chance, why aren’t you doing anything?

The answer is that the UFC knows that Junie is a Chris Leben, not a Jesse Taylor. Translation: he is an idiot on the show but will convert to more dollars in the future because he is a damn good fighter. There is no such thing as bad publicity with the UFC because after this season is over and we are watching UFC 108, during a Tom Lawlor fight someone will go “isn’t that the dude who drank that other dude’s piss?” It’s something to remember a guy by. Don’t get me wrong, I have no desire to be remembered as a dude that drank piss but while that might be the trigger that sparks the connection from fan to fighter, if the guy is exciting to watch then that will take over as the trigger going forward. I agree that the show would be much more entertaining for the MMA fan as an instructional video with fights at the end but it wouldn’t do the same ratings as this does. Of course I hate how this makes the fighters look, but there are other people on the show who comment on the idiots and you can see that not everyone acts that way. The fact remains that Dana, for all of his faults, seems to know what he is doing so if he thinks this is working then I would tend to agree with him.

Okay, switch it up. Mike goes first now.

Question #4-What does Couture do now? From the standpoint of a fan and guy who pays almost $50 a month to watch the man fight, what do you want to see him do? If you were whispering in his ear, what would you be telling him?

Mike: Psst... Hey Randy, over here... I watch a bunch of fights but have never done it before and secretly think I know more than anyone who has ever stepped into the Octagon. So anyways, I bet you my entire devalued 401k, about $3.50 but it is all I have, that you could regain the Light Heavyweight title from Forrest OR Rashad.

Randy to Mike: You freakin' idiot. Forrest is one of my best students and someone that I think of as a son. Plus, even if Rashad won and I beat him there is a good chance Forrest would be next. Do your research next time dumbass.
