Dana White/UFC abandons sister MMA event in Korea after declaration of martial law in Korea

[koa pomaikai]

Is Dana White/UFC smart or a coward to abandon Korean Zombie’s mma event after Korea declares martial law?

UFC refused to go to Korea and abandoned attending the event after martial law declaration.

The event was previously screened on UFC fight pass and has been considered by many to be a feeder to the UFC for Korean stars.

Martial arts magnate Dana White spooked by Korea's brush with martial law

Korean Zombie Jung Chan-sungâs Z-Fight Night will take place as scheduled on Dec. 14, but without UFC CEO Dana White in attendance. According to a press release, White and his team decided to cancel following Korea's brief brush with martial law

I mean I would probably do the same if I was Dana.

Well it probably took longer to work out Dana not going as the martial law lasted.

Lasted long enough for mass protestors to take to the streets and to have the military panick lol.

Seriously lol. This would've been a good opportunity to show everyone he's this bad ass that he likes to think of himself as and he turns away with his tail tucked.

Umm, I just got curious why there is a martial law in S. Korea, and according to the news, it was lifted a few hours after they implemented it. There is no martial law.

President put it into effect, put free speech on hold, tried to disband the legislature, emergency meeting held by legislature, special forces tried to stop National Assembly vote, happened anyways, they voted to stop the martial law.

Mass protests happened, military confused over what to do, and the president caved then lifted it.

There was martial law and then it got lifted is my understanding.

Things are pretty serious when the president dispatches the special forces to prevent the legislature from meeting.

Was it all due to the president's wife being under investigation for corruption? Heard something about that

If I remember my Democracy 101 lessons, that falls into the no-no category.

Martial Law in a foreign country sounds.... Not fun.

 

[RichardHarrow]

Lol at anyone claiming that Dana should proceed . About as much business acumen as a pint of milk.

So much for white belts being the only dumbasses .

Just look at the results for all South Korean leaders over the last 40 years. All were either executed or imprisoned.

Country is a gong show and always has been. It looks better than it really is due to the massive mound of excrement to the north.

Probably a host of things, the legislature being far left with the president being far right.

Constant political bickering and blocking of each other’s policies on top of scandals/investigations.

The legislature had been worried martial law would be declared since September. I’m just glad no one got shot, the military got really stand offish with the legislative when they invaded the National Assembly, a lot of physical fighting but no one got shot.

Martial law was unanimously repealed only a few hours later. The show is scheduled for the 14th, so plenty of time for things to simmer down more than they already have.

 

[gentel]

Martial law got resolved in like 4 hours or something, I think Dana can afford to re-book his plane tickets now that it's over

that's not a big deal. Biden pardoned his son in the states, Korean president should do the same

lol head over to Korea if you're such a tough guy.

probably to scared to leave the fucking basement.

Lol where's the sense in proceeding in such volatility?

He doesn't have the same pull he does in the states so it could go haywire. It's not a strategic risk and it's not brave, it's stupidity.
