Comments Thread For: TKO interested in tweaking Muhammad Ali Act to award its own belts

[A.B Counterhooks]

Turki is using uncle Danas influence in the US combat sports scene, political muscle and ties with the Potus to gain even more control in the american boxing industry. Not quite sure if 'TKO' could really become a success like the UFC model did. Im skeptical, Dana has been yapping about his Zuffa Boxing plans for years w/out actually delivering.

WTF are you talking about?! Most boxing fans embraced MMA immediately, which was a factor in why it became so popular.

My boxing obsessed cousins & I couldn't wait to see what was on the brand new UFC1 VHS they brought round in '96 (people just called it "Ultimate Fighting" for at least a year), my personalised autographed Royce Gracie photo has been on display since '98 and YOU Sir...

...are probably thinking of Bob Arum when he said the dumb thing about MMA fighters "rolling around the floor like hoe-mow-secksualz".

I owned a bar back in the day and a very good friend of mine was already studying Jiu Jitsu
And he was mainstay with three other guys like religion to watch ultimate fighting
This lasted until the fourth ultimate fighting , when the crowds started to flock slowly but surely
I recall that cartoonish big man between rounds and whenever they could plaster him on
And I ain’t no mma fan

Just sayin’

The belts are extremely corrupt so this is very good news. They must allow this to happen

For some reason I read this in the voice of the guy who all his life never needed a friend like Don Corleone

At first I misunderstood your comment but now I get it.

So yeah, UFC 4 was in the 90's & of course still very early in the game (in the UK we didn't even have access to the PPV's yet, just the VHS after the fact).

Big shout the cartoonish guy fr, I miss him dearly lol.

You're comparing two totally different things.

Is this the new “American takeover”?

I beleive that America took over abt. 1888. Today, we are looking to stave off a Chinese takeover; and the death of the Magna Carta.
