Re: UFC Bans Firearm sponsors.

From my understanding in order to get the Fox contract to broadcast the UFC, it was a Fox regulation. Just watch any Fox sports broadcast and see how many firearms related ads or endorsements you see....none.

Dana has always said that his goal has always been to make MMA & the UFC a "mainstream" sport. In order to do that, he has to get MMA off PPV channels and being broadcast on the major networks like basketball, football, baseball & hockey.

I seem to remember a lot of bitching & complaining when NASCAR quit using Winston as their main sponsor & went to Nextel...the sport seemed to continue just fine. I think the UFC will not only survive a few protests, but get bigger in the process.

Just my 2 cents....

No Gun Advertising. No ciggarette companies.

But let's have all the beer & alcohol commercials you want. At least Cops will be able to stay on the air with continued domestic violence.

I didn't watch it much before, defintley will keep turing the channel now. The sob is worth 150M and won't allow gun ads on his show. What a dipshit...

Another example of peoples greed. The guy has made a shit load of money by making fighting cool..... It comes to no surprise being the gun owners will still watch it because they enjoy it. And the anti gunners will watch it because he doesnt support it. Its just marketing, in a shitty way. I stopped watching UFC along time ago. I lived in Valencia, were Big John Mcarthury(sp?) lived. Once he opened his Ultimate Training Acadamy, EVERYONE there went to all the bars fighting people..... Sad to see that happen. Wouldnt go out due to police being called to bar fights every night.

I'm fucking done with the UFC. Dana would rather make people in China happy than have the UFC keep it's relationship with the USMC...what the fuck is wrong with that guy. I guess all his fans in China got him to where he is today.

Cutting firearms sponsor's pissed me off but talking shit about the Marines, this mother fucker needs to die.

Marines need to hold one last fight for the troops and murder this mother fucker and all his "fighters" that show up on international television.
