News "Bloody Elbow" Was Sold and Their Entire Staff Was Laid Off

[Black9]

Wildly sad news as it was one of the few OG MMA News Sites.

That sucks, and there is an obvious intent behind whoever bought it.

Hope they can find a new home and continue their good work.

LOL

Damn I hope the vivisection and 6 round post fight show continues. I could care less how much fighters get paid but all those articles disappearing is fucked up.

 

[NoSmilez]

Damn it's Chatri or Dana.

 

[markantony20]

Journalism is dead.

Honestly despite all the shit about him I at least respect Ariel for not completely selling out or being a company man(cough cough Brett Okamoto)

This is why the wayback machines work is so goddamm important. Don't know if they managed to archive BE a lot of sites have found a way to stop them but if they managed you can still read the articles.

When this society falls whatever comes next really need a seperate legal system to protect historical sources. Cause the idea that such a large treasure trust of historical sources can be stolen from future generations because some filthy capitalist bought the website is disturbing. Purchasing things comes with an obligation to care about their upkeep.

Great news! I've dealt with those knuckleheads -- karma.

I wish I could piss on these bums professional graves. <45>

Were they the Soy lefty/liberal group or am I thinking of another one?

Unrelated but kinda related, I know Luke Thomas lurks here.

 

[Spam On Rye]

There's other places that do MMA besides Sherdog?

Some were some weren't, it was a mix of good journalism and Karim Zidan just constantly talking about Kadyrov.

I almost never looked at the site, and don't know who that dude is specifically, but deleting a writer's entire portfolio of work after firing them is a whole other level of fucked up.

Sure these guys can trade on their names, and possibly their following, but ideally in that position you'd want to be able to show where your work is currently published.

Haha. Buncha cans.

Oh no, you're thinking of them.

 

[moreorless87]

Bloody Elbow did a lot of work covering the anti trust lawsuit didnt they?

Guess the "new owners" want to keep Dana happy and deleted it all?

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

Grown ass men should find real jobs
