UFC attempt to Gaslight us into thinking Anthony Smith was a Legend, is a Microcosm of its Current State.

[Karate Kid]

im mirroring what we are all thinking.

the UFC giving such a send-off to chickenheart compared to other (former) fighters who actually were legends such as Stipe who was just sent off with a coupon for KFC, a discount to Radio Shack and a fortune cookie, is an illustration of an industry in serious cross-roads, to put it nicely.

which also tells you it insults the intelligence of its viewers by what we saw last night.

Cool thread broski mi nevah thot aboot it like dat

 

[DiazSlap]

Anthony Smith is indeed a LEGEND on the same level as Vernon “the Tiger” White.

 

[tritestill]

Yes, they were insulting my intelligence. The Jon Jones/Stipe fight itself was also an insult. This Suga Sean v Merab rematch is also an insult. I could go on, but long as people pay.

 

[SJP_SevenLaker]

I was watching with the homies when the tribute went on for a tad too long and I blurted out "what the fuck am I watching?!" Bro had one of the worst title fights in ufc history.

Mingyang goading the crowd was way more entertaining and relevant.

Did Dana just hate Stipe? Why did the "GOAT HW" not even get a send off after he lost in his last UFC fight?

Joe Rogan actually looked like he wanted to be elsewhere when he gave him his final cage interview.

 

[HHJ]

They are actually doing the guy a disservice by trying to make him out to be something he most definitely is not.


It's a fuckin joke at this point.

Stipe and Dana didn't get along since way back when Stipe was champ.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Management likes analysts more than top fighters. Corporate BS

 

[GrantB13]

I just realized he has 13 losses by T/KO. His early career racked up 5 of them.

 

[Mongoosemk12]

Yeah that was a bit cringe. A send off is fine given his role outside the cage, but they laid it on pretttty thick. Not my cup of tea.

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

When you consider the totality of Smith, he is a legend.

He's obviously big outside of just fighting.

 

[Dogshare]

Maybe he just hinted to retire and the UFC made sure there is no coming back to fighting again.

I kept hearing about this “legend” throughout the broadcast. It was one of the most ridiculous things the UFC has done, imo.

 

[Danespina]

UFC has been doing more and more career retrospective videos as of late, and I think it's nice. But one of the requirements in doing it immediately after gloves are placed down, is that the company must be told in advanced that this is their last fight.

Stipe being the "GOAT HW" was just a marketing ploy to bolster Jones' legacy when he won. The fact he didnt get a nice send off is proof of that fact. Nobody ever actually believed it. Stipe isnt a legend either like TS says.

 

[italiamusica]

Yeah it was pretty bizarre and definitely insulting to other fighters who retired. It just has to be that Smith sucks the UFC's dick and same with PowerSLap, so Dana probably loves him for that.

[Thepaintbucket]

Yeah it's incredibly embarrassing to give him one and not a guy like Stipe who is undoubtedly more deserving.
