And Grasso gets 2 months.
That would be AWESOME so honoured 2 be a part of the community, and 2 have Shannon join up whoooooooooo INVICTA!!!I'll message Shannon and ask her to stop back in soon, so get any questions you have for her in this thread. See if we can make it a semi-informal Q&A of sorts.
To be honest... I think that most of us want to hear this sort of thing and expect it to be the standard for an organization of their standing. That's why when we hear the other, negative, side of their operations that we lash out and come down so critically upon them.The UFC have been very good to me and Invicta. I know it probably isn't what most of you want to hear, but the truth is they have been better partners than I could have ever expected. They really like Invicta and they support what I am doing to help the female athletes.
Hey Shannon, thanks for stopping back in. Really awesome to have you as a part of the community. Hope you don't think the majority here hate the UFC because that's not really the case. I think there are just a lot of things they've done over the years that people don't agree with...most recently being the Reebok deal. The one thing that I really admire about our community is the culture of respecting those that fight for our entertainment. We simply want to see fighters fairly compensated and treated well, and all indications point to fighters losing a lot of money with the Reebok deal.I will try to knock out a few of the questions in this post. Thanks again for all of the kindness!
We will be making some big announcements shortly. I am hoping to announce all of our 2016 dates.
We do buy television ads, billboards, print ads and radio ads in the Kansas City market.
I didn't dress up for Halloween this year because I am traveling. Which is a bummer because I'm a big kid at heart.

Yes, for years I was know as Bls "Bas Rutten's little sister" . Bas is like a brother to me and we are very close.

So it's not blind hatred for Zuffa here. We respect what they've done, and continue to do for the sport. And we certainly respect what you have done with Invicta.
Ehhh, there is a bit of that here, let's be honest, haha. Not from everyone, mind you, but I guarantee you if Dana White cured cancer tomorrow you'd have at least a dozen posters talking shit about how he created a monopoly on cancer curing and destroyed the competition with shady deals, how he got lucky and how it was no big deal because someone else would have done it anyway.So it's not blind hatred for Zuffa here.
Maybe, but I only see that from 2 posters, that I wont name. We have 1400 members here, so that's a pretty good ratio when compared to other forums IMO. Everyone else seems to acknowledge the good and rationally discuss the bad.Ehhh, there is a bit of that here, let's be honest, haha.

I don't know if I agree with your assessment of how many hardcore Zuffa haters are here, hahaMaybe, but I only see that from 2 posters, that I wont name.

That's cool and we can discuss that in another thread if you would like. But lets keep this one about Shannon and Invicta if we canI don't know if I agree with your assessment of how many hardcore Zuffa haters are here, haha![]()
