What a disgusting shill Iole is.

I cant stand his articles it isnt just mma he is in general a idiot on all topics.

Wow! He;s about the only UFC press-credentialed MMA 'kinda'-journalist that asks any critical questions of Dana.

How can there be no one at any major media outlet that has any understand of the history of major league pro hockey/football/baseball/basketball surrounding robber baronesque treatment of players. This crap was was forcedly put an end to in the mid 50''s in the NFL & NBA and the late 60's in the NHL & MLB. 

All these F****'n idiots can't figure out is has nothing to do with how much the UFC pays fighters. It is whether they get a fair piece of a HUGE pie for what they as a GROUP bring to the table. It has been shown definitively in big-time sports that somewhere around the 50% mark is fair for that. This isn't 4B out of 6B physically able humans that can lift a frie basket in and out of a deep fryer at McDonalds. This is 300 uniquely qualified high-skilled super human physical specimens of 6B Homo Sapiens.

Upon review I want to retract my "rober baronesque' statement. I should have said...

The entire Yahoo coverage of MMA is disgusting. Iole knows nothing about what he is covering. Same with his fellow idiot Steve Cofield.

Cheech and Chong would make better "journalists" than these two. And would probably be more entertaining to read.

Iole is a shit reporter, Zuffa propagandist like many of the rest.  It's about percentage share of revenue.  That's the issue.  The pay for performance aspects of their system is great IMO but the overall percentage share is where the fighters are getting screwed.

Iole knows the issues. He just is a whore for the worst sports organization on Earth.

The only thing on Yahoo worse than Iole is that Yahoo is a whore for the NSA.

Iole should've stuck with doing wrestling articles.

Don't even bother posting the link to his topic cuz i'm not even gonna bother giving him any hits.

Writing a rebuttal to pieces like this is a potential project.

That is our mission in MMA life. You, Eddie, and myself need to come up with a strategy to do this kind of thing. 

Eddie has his own platform and is a known Zuffa agitator that the zombieland paints as a disgruntled journalist set on revenge. I think it would be best if he consulted both of us on talking points and was our editor. That would be great. 

We need to do rebuttals to major news pieces and G-MMA op-ed pieces in order to fight the good fight against all this crap. We could send out press releases to all the MMA media sites and especilaly to major sport's media guys. At some point someone there is gonna pick up what we are saying and maybe it will spark some more Zuffa criticism and more investigative reporting from them. ESPN being a case in point.
