Do you remember the Nick Diaz/GSP weigh in debacle?
I saved that video that Nick's team mate posted where the commission guy was informing Nick abut how GSP would weigh a pound over, or whatever it was, for the title fight and not face any penalty. Something along those lines.. Nick was pissed that nobody told him this until hours before hand after he'd already cut the weight, down to 170 on the dot for the title fight (since you have to be exactly on weight in a championship bout)
It's been a few years so I can't remember exactly what went down. I made sure to save the vid because it seemed fishy, and sure enough, Zuffa had the video pulled hours later.
I apologize for sketchy at best information but I figure you probably know what incident I'm talking about. Can you shed some light on exactly what that was all about? I just find it interesting that the Quebec commission has so many strange (well, compared to the rest of the comms.) clauses. I agree that it seems the UFC is risking some funky shit down the road by holding fights there.
To be completely honest, I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't even aware of this stuff. You'd think with their money, they could hire the best lawyers in the world... but you only need to do a bit of digging on the Xyience vs Rich Bergeron case to see how incompetent and ridiculous their past legal teams have acted. They tried to bury Bergeron and ruin his life, but justice actually prevailed on that one.
Erik, if possible, I'd love to ask some questions in the future about Xyience, Zuffa and Station Casinos' bankrupty cases. There seems to be so much fishy shit going on there that doesn't even scratch the surface. I know it's in the past now, but boy, that was some shady stuff.
