Hell may not have frozen over, but the temperature down south is definitely dropping.

In case anyone else in the mixed martial arts community felt a slight disturbance in the force, may I direct your attention to an article from the Las Vegas Sun, where fossilized fight promoter Bob Arum is quoted as saying "Thanks" to UFC chiefs Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta.

"We want to thank Dana and Lorenzo for crossing sports to help promote this fight," Arum said, as Jones, the guy who helped make that unlikely visit happen, nodded from the dais.

Shocking!

Why is Bob suddenly flip flopping ?

Interesting acknowledgment from Bob because it is true. Dana is into boxing of course and has been eager to see this and has been putting out word of his opinion of this matches significance. He is even giving away those tickets to 'real fight fan' not strictly MMA fans but those who like all fights in general. This might also have something to do with burning Floyd from both Dana and Bob who both I think would like to see him brought back down to Earth.

Ah so the enemy of my enemy becomes my friend

DW takes a lot of shit from people, but I think basically he is a good guy. Everybody who is an MMA fan, knows his first love sport was boxing.

I'm hot and cold on him really. I liked the way he handled when the shit with Rampage hit the fan. And I like what he said about Nog after Cain fucked him up(cuz I'm a homer). But sometimes the shit he says is just fucking stupid.

Maybe White and Top Rank have reached a gentlemans agreement to help promote fights, and plan events around eachother to avoid conflicts, to mutally grow their businesses.

More good than harm could come from that if they avoid conflicting their PPV's

Maybe the next step would be advertising eachothers fights. Toprank commercials during Spike telacasts. Maybe we're getting ahead of ourselves.

Maybe Dana wants Manny to be an ambassador for the UFC in the Philippines.

Don't Manny and Anderson have a reality show next fall "Soft Spoken"





And......

saw a Boib interview last ngiht
he was asked about MMA and said

Dana White and the Fertittas deserve alot of credit for what they have done to market and promote UFC. That being said I dont like it

hahah

still its a far turn around from his

It is gay statement hahahaha

gotta love Arum. The guy interviewing him then said could I be a boxer? and Arum said : "no You better try MMA"

hhahaha

I wonder what Bob Arum would say if someone told him the very real reality that Kendall Grove could literally murder any boxer with his bare hands in under 3 minutes.
