These feel like a joke to me.

Zuffa and pro Zuffa sources dominated apart from a token few awards for other fighters. Scam. Like usual.

I thought it was embarrassing because of all the d list actors that were involved and the bad acting and bad jokes. The only jokes that made me laugh were some of the skits. Those were bad also for the most part. The production was horrible for that show.

You can't prove that. Link or it didn't happen...

Wolf as usual being a hater when it comes to UFC dominating.

I think UFC gets the nod on several categories easily. But award shows like this are notorious for that kind of tom foolery.

Gracie and WEC didn't win for their respective categories, Gracie BJJ gym not even nominated. I thought those should of won.

The skit with Gray Maynard and the shaker weight was pretty funny. The other skits were corny. The beginning of the Phil Baroni skit was funny, then it bombed.
