interesting thread!
Threads like this NEVER exist on most mma message boards. I've tried creating threads regarding the Fertittas and their interesting family background many times, on sites like mixedmartialarts.com, sherdog, mmafighting.net, mmalinker.com, and ALL of them had my thread deleted within hours.

And I don't make troll threads, I tend to post stats and information and let the people discuss, so it was very alarming and eye opening to see a particular subject be so taboo.

Props for posting the thread and info OP.

^ I agree. MMA history is always brushed under the rug so its refreshing to see threads like this on this forum.

This is blowing my mind

That's right.

The elephant in the room that 99.9% of "fans" don't know, want to know, or care to know.

This is the company that has employed hundreds of internet posters across every major forum and news site.
They also employ them to attend events, wear pro-Zuffa anti-everything merchandise, and sway public opinion.
They are masters of marketing and manipulation.
I've seen groups of them at WEC, SF, Bellator events and so on, wearing shirts saying:
- STRIKEFARCE TOOLS
- FEDOR SUCKS
-BJORK IS A DORK

There is a level of denial and insanity in all of this.
It's demonic level greed.

Interesting stuff. I just watched the Whitey Bulger documentary on Netflix last week and I remembered reading something about Dana being run out of Boston because he was being shaken down by Whitey's guys or something like that. I immediately thought to myself while watching the documentary that this guy was indirectly responsible for the UFC being what it is today. Now I see he may have been indirectly responsible on more than one level.

Personally, I have no hate for any of it (or them), more of a fascination (and respect) than anything. Honestly, I'm alright with most of what is going on in the UFC........and I am also well aware that this is the unpopular opinion around here, lol! I like Dana, I like the UFC, I like you guys...........I'm so happy!
