I seen that few days ago good interview

You can clearly see and hear they strongly edited his (Dana) words, take for example when he talks about it being a war, if you ever listened to his numerous other interviews he was clearly talking about all the other upstart promotions trying to take the UFC's spot as #1 and he was not talking about a war with the fighters.

In other words CBC did a CNN.

I hate when people that know nothing about MMA talk about MMA.

So a National News Agency runs a lengthy piece on mixed martial arts focusing on some financial disputes, but ultimately showing the sport in a positive light and willingly comparing it to the biggest sports in North America, and you complain about the editing?

That video was awesome though, thanks lucko.

It's amazing that the female co-host didn't do even the most basic preparation for her discussion of this report. She had no idea what she was talking so she used hypotheticals that don't apply to the current business of MMA. She was completely useless and detracted from the message of the evolving labor issues in MMA.

Yes i'm complaing on the editing because they should not try and make a story where there isn't one, it's not a war between the UFC and the fighters. the peice would have been just as interessting without the editing.

How would you feel if you gave an interview and then found out they edited what you said just to make something else out of it which is false?

Better than that ESPN piece on tv a year and a half ago which compared Dog fighting to MMA.
