The breakup of Arlovski and Jackson-Winks was pretty bad.

Damn. These quotes are from the Dr. Hightower the physical therapist who has his office in the gym:

Arlovski should have known Jackson/Wink have no loyalty from their history. Just ask Rashad Evans or Diego Sanchez.

They put Arlovski on thier Wall of Honor and chose *him* to train for the Overeem fight. Reem had to train somewhere else. On top of that, Jackson has nothing to do with the UFC choosing fights or the fighters signing the contract.

I can't help but think he has brain damage, from the erratic behavior he showed towards a gym that helped rebuild him and showed nothing but loyalty.

Maybe so, but they did step over Diego and Rashad to get to GSP and JBJ, respectively.

It sounds like he didn't like the fact they were still helping Overeem when they were going to fight, and he broke into the doc's office to get medical info on what Overeem was up to. That, and he had some sort of problem with other races in the gym.

It sound shitty all around. Oh well.

Both were somewhat new to the team I think, I'd wager the reem earns a fuckload more money than Andre and when you factor in how much of that gets cut straight to the gym...


My guess

Nah, Andrei had been there a lot longer and they prioritized him over Reem. They said as much.

That Dr sounds a very level-headed professional, what a class act to have in the locker room.

What happened with those 2?
Thought they were still with Jackson’s
They left and went back.

Diego was with Jackson from the beginning, but he lost to Koscheck and GSP decided to come out J-W and Diego was suddenly yesterday's news.

Here I am - a more or less adult guy, clicking on this stuff to consume it like a soap-opera for men . . .
but alas! instead of a fully produced TV show all we get are a few tweets

I ain't getting paid for this shit, man. If I was talented enough to produce TV shows, I'd be doing my best Harvey Weinstien impersonation while casting hot Asian spinners, not spending time on a message board. FML.

I didn't mean this thread but rather some aspects of "MMA journalism" and forum entries and my cheap soap-opera necessities as a whole.
People who enjoy watching soap operas at least get to watch a nice TV show, whereas the MMA equivalent is some he said she said bullshit...
Spike's "UFC All Access" - now that was a cheesy entertaining soap opera back in those days :D :D

I googled what "FML" and "Asian spinners" means (didn't mind having googled the Asian spinners) just to be able to respond. Didn't mind to look who Harvey Weinstein is, though...

-> Maybe you can draw some cartoons of Asian spinners and narrate over it like that Weinstein guy? ;)
