It starts out with Dana going on a rant about how he hates silly mma websites and all the shit we talk.

Take the NBA ref, Tim Donaghy, for example. If it can happen in the NBA, why can't it happen in the UFC. ESPECIALLY the bottom tier fighters that make under $5k per fight. They gotta provide for thier family in one way or another. However, I would definatly need proof before buying into such a thing. Out of curiousity, what is the biggest and baddest gang/mob in Las Vegas? VERY interesting theory. Take the NBA ref, Tim Donaghy, for example.

I think the MOB is winning out in Vegas taking the dogs in a lot of the fights, and the fighers are getting paid more by mob guy's then Dana....Maybe i'm on crack, but who knows.
