Media Fight Inc. showed Hunter Campbell finessing / gaslighting / coercing Aljo, and his own coach acting against his best interest

[Psychedelic]

No wonder why Dana is pissed about the documentary.

It's not new and it kinda passed under the radar one month ago, but I saw a lot of people intrigued in the other thread about what could have led Daner to lash out on the documentary for "too much transparency", so this will make sense of it.

Interesting how Hunter Campbell talks to Aljo. Literally talking to him as if he was a child, while his manager looked like the discussion didnt concern him, staring at the ground all the time. Motherfucker is in on the con.

Not a good look for the UFC. Also shows the true face of Hunter Thompson, as opposed to the dove-ish and squeaky clean / professional schtick he had at the usada conference.

Enjoy the inner workings of the UFC, Sherbros.

You'd think Tiki would be used to Dana's shenanigans by now and could inform Aljo to do whats in his best interest.

He looked ashamed of himself. Look at his body language.

As a certified Sherdog armchair psychology and body language expert, it's obvious to me that Tiki is in on it, and intentionally acted against the best interest of his fighter to facilitate Dana's business, in return of undisclosed incentives.

If anything the video just makes Aljo look like a dumbass.

That's why fighters have managers. If they're not business sawwy, they pay people to handle their business. Video shows a promoter and a manager colluding to finesse a fighter. Ruthless.

Dana said it himself, it showed "too much transparency" and it's "disruptive to the business".

Wasnt Dana a producer? He could have cut this stuff out had he not wanted anyone to see it

Meh. They assholes, we knew this already. Aljo is a big boy. If he wants to be pumped by Hunter or Dana, it’s his choice. I’m sure PFLellator would love to sign him to some ridiculous contract that won’t pay him nearly as much as it promises because duh

Hunter is your typical C-suite sociopath.

Curiously, Dana once felt the need to quickly correct himself, referring to Tiki helping break up the UFC 279 brawl. Seems a bit strange seeing as 'take one for the team' is an innocuous common saying that nobody would bat an eyelid over if left alone. Perhaps the lady doth protest too much?

'If it wasn't for Tiki, we would have been in trouble.... Tiki took a couple for the team and he's not even on the team... Tiki took a couple of water bottles to the head, a couple of slaps, kicks. Thanks Tiki'

You could tell Tiki was thinking quietly to himself "it was a cut"

Well, let's be honest, there's no way Tiki sat there and said nothing, they just cut out his advice.

I actually don't see a major issue here, maybe my vision cuts through this documentary editing, but Hunter Campbell seems to say "this is a huge opportunity to take O'Malley's fans and you've looked great lately", and Aljo then has to weigh up whether he wants to fight or not on the UFC's schedule or otherwise.

I don't honestly see any strong arm tactic. They aren't talking about an interim belt or anything, they're just talking about a right here, right now scenario, and Aljo takes it.

Fighters don't fight when they're 100 %. They assess the risks against the potential rewards.

Aljamain Sterling at 75 % should feel he has a decent shot at beating a near-pure boxer like O'Malley. It didn't work out. I'd be the first to cry foul, I just don't see one here.

What is he paying Tiki for? This is the shit managers are supposed to be handling while he sits there looking like a bewildered bystander.

When I think of Tiki Ghosn all I can remember is...
