Dustin Poirier is being sent to quiet Eddie Alvarez

[Kaiokenrye24]

Eddie has been very vocal about fighter pay and fighting out his contract. Uncle Dana usually sends a dangerous fighter(Jorge Masvidal to Cowboy) for fighters they don't like or go off the reservation.
I'm kind of joking

Any other examples?

 

[TemDee]

Maia has been handed bad match up after bad match up as of late. JoeB was just given opponent after opponent until he lost.

 

[Mmaprovost]

Machida vs Ortiz

 

[Beer tastes awful]

Best example of it is on this weekend's card

Kajan Johnson vs Islam Makhachev

Johnson has been a vocal critic of the Reebok deal and is also affiliated with Project Spearhead, so the UFC give him Islam motherfucking Makhachev to beat the living shit out of him before he inevitably gets cut

 

[Workaholic]

There are a lot of reason this fight got made and that isn't one of them lol

 

[SeattleFightFan]

Al I got a last second title shot after bitching about pay.

oh wait, maybe that's a counterpoint.

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Meh, Doostin is very beatable.

If they wanted to send someone to shut up Eddie they would send Paulo Costa to his house. He would KTFO Eddie and then fuck his wife who would later run off with Costa to Brasil to do cocaine and plastic surgery LOL

 

[flowoftruth]

Maia was really put through the ringer, they didn't even give him a fair shake on his deserved title shot either

 

[FinalConflict2005]

Machida vs Ortiz

Yea but Tito slapped on that triangle and flipped that shit to a arm bar!

Dana’s face

 

[Miiiiiiighty]

Machida vs Ortiz

Machida once was Dana's main sniper

 

[PubliusVentidius]

Eddie via 73.

 

[[insert_name_here]]

Let’s be serious… Alvarez is going to whoop on Dustin…

 

[Dionysian]

Machida vs Ortiz
Chael vs Anderson (after the Maia fight/trouble with Dana)
Masvidal vs Cerrone (after the union talk/trouble with Dana)
Eddie vs RDA (to set up Conor favorably despite Eddie doing worse than the rest of the top 5 prior to getting that shot)
Siver vs Conor (magically ranked to set up a title shot)
Maia vs 3 wrestlers with great TDD in a row (and his title shot was short notice at that, to minimize chance of holding belt)
Bader not being rehired despite being top 5 in one of the most shallow divisions
Anderson vs Forrest (to rejuvenate the marketing after it stalled for him being P4P best)
Compare promotion of Ronda/Sage/Perry/Conor/Ngannou vs Amanda/Stipe/Khabib/etc
The "black Fedor" of LW guy. Forgot his name. Made to be an example when he came to UFC/all terrible matchups.
Jon Fitch/Khabib/Jacare/Tony being denied title shots for years
No rematch for Aldo/instant rematches for Ronda/Conor/JJ/etc

This shit is literally all the time. Way too many to name, those are some random ones off the top of my head. Once you're cognizant of the fact that stacking the deck is an integral part of their playbook, you'll spot them a little better.

LOL'd for a solid minute. Well done my good man.

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

Felder got fed to Perry after crying too much about his situation

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

Dustin's gonna regret talking shit about Eddie and pleading for this rematch. He's gonna get smoked and then it's back to square one for him.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Uncle Dana has other things to worry about like being the next pervert who get's #metoo'd.

 

[Fahrenheit1221]

I feel like they are being sent to silence each other. I like both as fighters but they are off putting as fuck personality wise. Poirier reminds me of "The" James Krause and Eddie isn't much better. I'm just hoping for fireworks and a good fight.

Two top 5 fighters in the deepest division of the sport are like "james Krause " and "not much better" get lost.

 

[Spycho]

Cormier vs. Nelson. One of the most cringeworthy things DC has said was when he said that he wants to beat Roy up for Dana.
