unions buy politicians? what the hell is this guy smoking? he's in a state with laws that cripple unions and lives in a country where corporations buy politicians like gum.
If the super stars backed a Union, there would be a fighters union. It is so sad how these guys get used up, paid shit and tossed out like the trash when ZUFFA is done with them. Not all fighters make ST. Pierre money people geez, have some compassion. They are making Zuffa billions of dollars and never seeing a dime of it. I predict someday, MMA will indeed have a Fighters Union. Just a matter of time.
Kyran with these videos I always need to turn up the sound, otherwise I can't hear the questions. But then when you speak.. Omg, my neighbours can easily listen along.
I am a Union employee ... the moment we got our contract , I got a raise , pension , annuity , company pays my medical , my dental , overtime , shift premium pay and the company had to hire more workers because of quality of life and even pay with everyone , no one gets payed more to do the same job as another person.. I support the Union .
I live in EU Germany, Spain, Uk & USA. I don’t even know what the stress is about! I’m a fan since 92 and fighting myself since, I’m 14., back in the day’ even against bouncers of disco’s, who couldn’t believe, what it means! My son is 15 and is fighting full contact in Netherlands (best Thaiboxers of the world) . My daughters are 3 and 6 and training. I went to university to UK, USA and Germany. On Sundays we go to events and training instead, eating junk food, drinking and smoking. I fight for my life THAT’S it; Dana is the correct. I wish I could do more for the sport in EU h…from the heart Cheers Elton
Not only that, but Unions are not always looking out for whats best for the workers (fighters etc). My buddy is a mechanic and worked in a place represented by a Union. Every year they would go in to negotiations with the company, raise the union rates, and then not get a raise for the people in the union to pay those rates. So they would pay more money to the union and not make more money to cover it.
From what I have heard from employees of Station Casinos, they don't want to unionize. I understand the benefits of of organizing, but they get compensated really well without paying dues and don't feel it is necessary.
Machida is a warrior in a sport of...Anybody who follows his style, technique and history knows he is THE #1 CONTENDER . I dont undertand why the comission continues to put him down. Let the mean heal and give him a tittle shot with anticipation. We all know that when he is at his best he fights as a Dragon!
You may not have experience with this, but most people who train martial arts tend to be very peaceful. Respect and responsibility tend to be common themes in martial arts schools. It's not about teaching kids to use violence to solve their problems. It's about not letting fear of violence dictate your life.
I don't know, maybe they're equally bad match-ups. At least Chael is aggressive and at least Shogun is headlining and getting paid near the end of his career.
I wanna see Ariel Helwani vs Dana White in a co main event with Ian McCall, Joseph Benavedez, Demetrious Johnson, and Jon Dodson vs Roy Nelson, Shane Carwin, and Tank Abbott in a handicap tornado tag team match as the main event.
Boxers get paid much more and still have sponsors. Some sponsors don't even pay fighters, but rather send them free gear. What's worse is that Zuffa actually steals sponsor dollars out of fighters' pockets, nowadays. That shit wouldn't fly back when they had competing world class promotions.
Interesting talks of possibly forgiving Paul Daley in the future. Never thought I'd hear that. Maybe Daley just needs to apologize and swear and he'll control himself lol.
I love Wanderlei so much, but i really think it's a bad idea at this point of his career. Vitor would ko him badly... but at the same time with the axe murderer you never know ahah
Is there anyone who doesnt think Nick Diaz vs Machida is a horrible idea? I hope Nick waits until after Anderson fights before he returns (unless he takes a fight with Robbie Lawler) because if Silva loses to Weidman again, the only fight that would make sense is Nick vs Anderson (a fight that all hardcore Diaz fans / haters would love to see)
Ok I think I understand but if Lorenzo and frank don't want there workers to be in a union why don't they get the final say like why don't the union just take no for an answer why be asses to the ufc just because they said no surely its there right since its there company?
"Unions spend far more money on a wider range of political activities, including supporting state and local candidates and deploying what has long been seen as the unions' most potent political weapon: persuading members to vote as unions want them to." -Wall Street Journal
Why not making a list in the subscript at what time he talks about which subject? Now 16,000 people have to skip through this 52 min vid to find the part that they want to see :-/
Isn't it up to the workers who work for Lorenzo's company's and stuff to join themselves? and if this is a stupid question them sorry but I don't have a clue lol
Unity is strength , Dana is threatened if people stick together he would have to look after fighters , it's a monopoly with him at the top he wants it to stay that way , corporations and big money buy politician's , unions are a protection against that .Don Frye couldn't afford to watch the UFC shows live and wasn't invited to attend despite being one of the pioneers of the sport and building the UFC brand which makes a lot of money for Dana White , that's how it plays out without protection.
diaz vs machida!!??if it happens it will be awsome to see nick fight again but machida is gonna run circles around him and more then likely win a boring desicion,but i like nick at 185
Agreed. Much like Zuffa used their position to actively eliminate competition to enforce their own monopolistic position. Then, when asked about fighter wages, they spout the whole "free market" spiel. Bullshit. You made sure it's NOT a free market, anymore. You can't cry "free market" when you operate in an oligopolistic or monopolistic market. Take an economics class.
how? he is single handedly keeping mma alive, he knows what he's doing just look at strikeforce, pride, affliction, dream, and bellator and see who's more corrupt.
messy. long story short (according to Dana) the culinary unions in Vegas are trying to unionize the casinos the Fertittas own and they haven't been able to do it. So now EVERY union is trying to blacklist everything UFC related in order to pressure the Fertittas to let them unionize the Vegas casinos. that's why the visa issues, chael's license, etc. have all come up. That's the VERY abridged version.
so the ufc fanbase is always growing and you're going to say that? It makes just so much sense. If you're not a troll, which I'm assuming you're not since your comment is very sincere, you just have no idea.
unions buy politicians?

Thanks for posting tho, I love how fast you get these up!
Great audio quality, much better than the usual scrum video. Thank you!

Thanks for uploading this so quickly karyn.

Always the latest and best coverage. Thanks!
Thanks Karyn for the fast upload, Your awesome! :)

I love you Karyn Bryant! Thanks for the fast upload!!
you do an awesome job Karyn always a step ahead of the rest

A bunch of cooks are keeping the UFC out of New York. Crazy.
Hope they finally go away and let the UFC put on a show at MSG.
From what I have heard from employees of Station Casinos, they don't want to unionize. I understand the benefits of of organizing, but they get compensated really well without paying dues and don't feel it is necessary.
You're the best Karyn!! Keep it up!!
im sure its not that hard to find a stream of this card on the internet
Machida is a warrior in a sport of...Anybody who follows his style, technique and history knows he is THE #1 CONTENDER . I dont undertand why the comission continues to put him down. Let the mean heal and give him a tittle shot with anticipation. We all know that when he is at his best he fights as a Dragon!
You're the man Karyn!
Dana do you oppose monopolies?
You may not have experience with this, but most people who train martial arts tend to be very peaceful. Respect and responsibility tend to be common themes in martial arts schools.
It's not about teaching kids to use violence to solve their problems. It's about not letting fear of violence dictate your life.
I have no clue about this stuff can you please tell me what Lorenzo is doing and why the union are doing this?
Love these scrums man.
It's crazy, the sport and league we all have grown to love is under constant attack from lesser competition
Anyone know whay channel Fox Sports 1 eill be on direct tv?
I am thankful there are other sensible people out there that know their mma :)
He talks about Machida vs Diaz at 12:50
I don't know, maybe they're equally bad match-ups. At least Chael is aggressive and at least Shogun is headlining and getting paid near the end of his career.
I like how Shale waits till Wandy was hurt then calls him out so when he cant fight it looks like he dusked him. Wandy has been trying to fight Shale.
I check this video out again and here you are... you must be the life of all the parties you go to!
Karyn gets these videos up fast... it's unfortunate she doesn't make it to every event
I was curious about it too. I know it's "smart water" I dont know the brand though
Turn down the volume?
not all of Shogun's fights were "drag-em-out" wars...look at his fight with jon jones
Thx Karyn
12:35 "bjork" lol
Also, my UFC predictions:
SonnenShogun
OvercreamBrowne
GSPHendricks
JonesGustafson
SilvaWeidman
RouseyTate
HendersonPettis
The Boston City Council on Wednesday voted unanimously to pass a measure to ban minors under the age of 16 from attending mixed martial arts events,
Thanks karyn!
I wanna see Ariel Helwani vs Dana White in a co main event with Ian McCall, Joseph Benavedez, Demetrious Johnson, and Jon Dodson vs Roy Nelson, Shane Carwin, and Tank Abbott in a handicap tornado tag team match as the main event.
To hear Dana give so much praise to Fox Sports 1 is really a switch. Good to hear some positive reviews
Dana vidblog is one of the best things on youtube+TV
Hmm, that might be a possibility. That or he's sitting above everyone else so they can see and hear him. I wonder which one it is????
Also, if Diaz thought Condit was running away, wait til he fights Machida
Boxers get paid much more and still have sponsors. Some sponsors don't even pay fighters, but rather send them free gear.
What's worse is that Zuffa actually steals sponsor dollars out of fighters' pockets, nowadays. That shit wouldn't fly back when they had competing world class promotions.
Interesting talks of possibly forgiving Paul Daley in the future. Never thought I'd hear that. Maybe Daley just needs to apologize and swear and he'll control himself lol.
my 17 year old grand daughter trains in MMA, Thai boxing and wrestling. She is a well rounded and healthy.
Skip 11:00 to skip the junk.
You must have missed the 08-09 banker bailouts and the current Fed QE program. Look it up.
Cheers Karyn
Why does it say no stream??
I love Wanderlei so much, but i really think it's a bad idea at this point of his career. Vitor would ko him badly... but at the same time with the axe murderer you never know ahah
Is there anyone who doesnt think Nick Diaz vs Machida is a horrible idea? I hope Nick waits until after Anderson fights before he returns (unless he takes a fight with Robbie Lawler) because if Silva loses to Weidman again, the only fight that would make sense is Nick vs Anderson (a fight that all hardcore Diaz fans / haters would love to see)
why are you telling us this?
Unions are there to make money for themselves while making workers think that they're doing them a favor.
post fight scrum?
well is he comming back or no?
Amen, although "transparent" isn't the word I'd use to describe Zuffa, "corrupt" certainly is.
Ok I think I understand but if Lorenzo and frank don't want there workers to be in a union why don't they get the final say like why don't the union just take no for an answer why be asses to the ufc just because they said no surely its there right since its there company?
Yeah Diaz vs w.silva would be sick
"Unions spend far more money on a wider range of political activities, including supporting state and local candidates and deploying what has long been seen as the unions' most potent political weapon: persuading members to vote as unions want them to."
-Wall Street Journal
Diaz vs Wanderlei Silva would be epic
Addition: especially a private monopoly in the hands of the Fertitta hegemony that gets to keep a lot of the books hidden.
To do what put caps on toothpaste?
Lyoto was doing very well up to the point he got choked out,better than most have,i would love to see a rematch.
Who's the guy that asks the first question? He asks some good questions every scrum, but I've never known who he was.
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are the new UFC announcers for Fox UFC fights.
put FOX Sports 1 on direct tv so i can watch it.
Yep, but they used to be ...
she always is . by far my favorite reporter 2nd is ariel
What is that light purplish drink that Dana always drinks? Looks pretty good...
It was boxercise. The guy was a boxercise coach.
said the same thing at work today, but then i think everyone knows how to NOT fight diaz now
This has nothing to do with that...
Why not making a list in the subscript at what time he talks about which subject? Now 16,000 people have to skip through this 52 min vid to find the part that they want to see :-/
Isn't it up to the workers who work for Lorenzo's company's and stuff to join themselves? and if this is a stupid question them sorry but I don't have a clue lol
I'm with Dana, but it's the "employees" from keeping the unions out of the Station? We know how it works Dana.
Unity is strength , Dana is threatened if people stick together he would have to look after fighters , it's a monopoly with him at the top he wants it to stay that way , corporations and big money buy politician's , unions are a protection against that .Don Frye couldn't afford to watch the UFC shows live and wasn't invited to attend despite being one of the pioneers of the sport and building the UFC brand which makes a lot of money for Dana White , that's how it plays out without protection.
diaz vs machida!!??if it happens it will be awsome to see nick fight again but machida is gonna run circles around him and more then likely win a boring desicion,but i like nick at 185

Bullshit. You made sure it's NOT a free market, anymore. You can't cry "free market" when you operate in an oligopolistic or monopolistic market. Take an economics class.
it's not
Mixed Martial Arts is the modern day mixed martial arts?
do not want to see Diaz fight Machida who is going to dance the fuck around instead of fight for 3 rounds.
240p?? Wtf.
well my favourite quote, "these kids have parents, you weren't elected to become children's parents you self-righteous clown."
vitor vs wanderlei would be awesome i think...
Its how Anderson/Brazilians pronounces Chael's name.. Are you new?
Dana tweeted that he mixes Vitamin Water Zero with his SmartWater.
how? he is single handedly keeping mma alive, he knows what he's doing just look at strikeforce, pride, affliction, dream, and bellator and see who's more corrupt.
machida is way more faster than condit and diaz post fight he will say he did'nt gave me his head to hit nothing to intrigue
UFC doesn't pay their fighters much because of their sponsors and/or post-fight bonuses. They should be getting paid much more though.
Yeah but imagine how butthurt Diaz would be after losing by decision to Machida.
Diaz vs Machida will be good boxing vs mma
Why don't they make machida vs mousasi
It'll be free on the internet like every other ufc event
messy. long story short (according to Dana) the culinary unions in Vegas are trying to unionize the casinos the Fertittas own and they haven't been able to do it. So now EVERY union is trying to blacklist everything UFC related in order to pressure the Fertittas to let them unionize the Vegas casinos. that's why the visa issues, chael's license, etc. have all come up. That's the VERY abridged version.
do your research. he used to box. thats one of the reasons why his ear is so fucked up.aside from being jumped
so the ufc fanbase is always growing and you're going to say that? It makes just so much sense. If you're not a troll, which I'm assuming you're not since your comment is very sincere, you just have no idea.
he co owned a boxing gym and taught classes in his young years before becoming a promotor.
its still not as bad as shogun vs chael, what a waste of shogun when he's nearing the end of his career
