Comments on: Tonight on Inside MMA on HDNet… http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2007/12/14/tonight-on-inside-mma-on-hdnet/ Your Destination for Insider MMA News and Opinion Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:41:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Sam Caplan http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2007/12/14/tonight-on-inside-mma-on-hdnet/comment-page-1/#comment-8423 Sam Caplan Sun, 16 Dec 2007 20:53:02 +0000 http://fiveouncesofpain.com/2007/12/14/tonight-on-inside-mma-on-hdnet/#comment-8423 Why is it weird? Our advertisers don't dictate our editorial policies. Our writers can write about whatever they want. When you watch the nightly news, is it presented commercial free? I'm in charge of editorial and don't deal with the sponsors. I leave that up to our site administrator, Matt Cava, whose full-time job is web marketing. We have multiple writers on this site and I have never legislated what their opinions must reflect, and neither has Matt. Rob, I don't want to single you out because you aren't the only one who has raised the issue. It's a legitimate concern but I think it's also a pretty straight forward reason. My feeling is that as our traffic grows, a lot of people can't handle our success and are being very contrived in their criticism of us. Not everything we are going to do is going to make everyone happy. My hope is that people read and enjoy this site, but we can't be all things to all people. There are plenty of options out there for people to choose where they can get their MMA news from. RioHeroes.com advertised on MANY websites, not just this one. If people are uncomfortable that we have sponsors on this site to offset our expenses then they are free to read a site that does not have any sponsorship. Why is it weird?

I thought Griffin was funny as hell on the interview. expecially when he talked about being in a bar and how guys tend to look around at other guys seeing who they think they could beat in a fight. Then he talks about how you can't do anything about having a smaller penis but u can about beating someone in a fight. Chuck seemed very relaxed on the interview. No doubt Evan.

It's a great show with great elements and I'm looking forward to seeing Mr. 5 Oz's do his thing this week. Congrats! I’m a total mark for the Inside MMA show. I’ve seen every episode and I love it.

I wont be able to watch the show tonight...my brother is getting married tomorrow and I dont have DVR. Is there anyway you could post the video up after it airs tonight? If so I would greatly appreciate it. Sam did you have a sparring session with Karo so you would be ready for Fightlinker?
