So Torres gets cut for this, but this is what Dana Whit has to say regarding Rashad's Penn State joke to Davis?
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/mma/p...tupid/581751/1
How can you justify cutting Torres for that tweet, and in an article dealing with Rashad's line say "When you're dealing with smar guys, they get it"? Didn't Dana say Torres owned his own business and was a smart guy?
This is fukcing ridiculous....Nick Diaz can breech contract and still fight on the card and Torres exercises his 1st amendment outside of the octagon in a non ufc related post and gets the boot. This is fucking ridiculous. Taylor we need to get the panel van running and take a trip to vegas to give Dana a real reason to be upset.
This is bad karma. I have a feeling Dana is going to have issues with a money hungry cunt crying rape.
Rogaine makes the "rape choke" sound so normal. I would like to hear him do color commentary on an underground snuff film. I bet it would sound just like any exciting UFC.Quote:

So, should it now be referred to as the Real Prize Patrol?
Thats fucking ridiculous to cut him for that. I hope dana gets raped.
That tweet WAS funny.
I really like Dana when he just says what he thinks and calls Loretta a dumb bitch. That's why I can't understand wtf happened with the Torres thing. Why the fuck would Dana get intimidated by some woman rights activists and cut Miguel for a joke??

Dana and the UFC dont have shit on what fox lawyers could do to them, I vote dana tapped out to fox pressure.
"Rape is the new missionary"
Tweet from Forrest Griffin.
Still employed.
Yeah possible that Fox pressured him, didn't think of that. I just hope it was the right decision for the UFC to go with Fox.
Dana white responds

I doubt FOX had anything to do with this. The Rape-van is joke taken from, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," a sitcom shown on FX, which is the new home for The Ultimate Fighter, and UFC Fight night. FX is a huge part of the FOX deal. It is also Lorenzo's favorite channel because of their cutting edge original programming.Quote:

Dana didn't know how to respond. Then, without having talked to Miguel personally, Dana fired him. It's pretty obvious that Miguel's intention with the tweet was not malicious, unlike what Dana said to Loretta Hunt. Miguel didn't commit a crime, as others in the organization have. It was a dumb joke done in poor taste. There's no way he was promoting the act of rape. If Dana was so offended by Miguel's tweet, then why not ask him to do some work with real rape victim organizations and raise awareness to the cause. That would do more good than simply cutting ties with the guy. This is so hypocritical, even for Dana.
I think a formal apology would've been enough. Getting cut is a little too much.
it was dumb of him. not everyone who reads his tweets watch always sunny. i love the show, but i don't remember that line. so if i read that tweet. then he's just a creepy sicko. and that's what happened. i don't know if things would be different if he used quotes and sourced always sunny in his tweet. but the way he did it is enough to get fired. and about dana's rant about hunt, that was obviously in the heat of the moment. and if you think it's unfair that dana can rant like that and keep his job, well tough balls. that's what happens when you're the boss and you don't have a board of directors to answer to.
Are you fucking kidding me? You soft wet pussy! You are wearing a "joker" shirt. The mother fucker cuts smiles on peoples faces!!! What Torres said was just as fictional as a movie.Quote:

Then there was the interview with his mother that cast some doubt on the quality of his character, and now this. This is possibly the biggest example of hypocrisy I have ever seen. What's even worse than the obvious hypocrisy though, is the inequitable treatment of the UFC's employees! The disparate treatment displayed here is outrageous and disgusting. I truly truly hope this is not the direction in which the UFC is going to continue to go now that they have a major network television deal. If this course isn't altered immediately, this is just the tip of the iceberg that will eventually lead to censoring of the UFC in a way that will alienate many if not all of the UFC's fans. Not only that, but the application of discipline will continue to be completely subjective, and arbitrarily based on the whims of upper-management, whether motivated by profit or sheer ego. Ok, that's the end of my rant. Get your shit together DW, for all of our sakes!
who the hell names their son Dana anyway? oh yeah...that's right...Mills Lane with a redhaired wig and torpedo tits:

This is good news... although I have a feeling he took a pay cut. Torres is Back. Dana is still a hypocritical cunt.

Thank god he did the right thing. Torres is a class act for sure. You've earned back my respect Dana, for now.
