  1. Why do you have a problem with Bellator using ISK when UFC is self regulated by USADA?

    Also why do you guys believe Zach Light’s story without hearing Scott Coker and Rich Chou’s side?

    Sam Caplan is acting like Scott Coker is the devil. And is being super bias bc he has a relationship with Zach Light or had one.

    If Viacom does settle with Zach Light then that makes them look guilty. Why would they pay him off if they feel Zach is lying?

  2. I totally disagree with both of you, Jason Floyd and Sam Caplan, about people not wanting to see Melvin Manhoef getting a rematch against Rafael Carvalho. It’s is about the integrity of the sport of MMA that fans want to see Melvin Manhoef rightfully be given a title rematch. But of course, you two are media savvy now and you two will try to change the narrative to support your viewpoint of the situation. But integrity is a major part of why we love sports and we fans never want to see that integrity pushed to the side on the basis of if the media members feel integrity can be overlooked because of this or that, but not in the case of this or that. No one wants to see the type of fight we all saw and I am sure a rematch between Melvin Manhoef vs Raphael Carvalho would go drastically different. The Bellator Middleweight division does not need to be blown up as Sam Caplan put it, it does need to be righted by that awful Rafael Carvalho judges decision victory. Bellator needs to sign Kendall Grove, and it seems Bellator has bought back Mikkel Parlo, I guess as fodder for Chris Honeycutt. Bellator has Brandon Halsey and John Salter, so the Bellator Middleweight division is moving along, slowly, but surely. Give it time, like all things.
