    Jon Jones doesn't think Alex Gustafsson deserves an immediate rematch after controversial close decision win

    "He told [Ariel Helwani] he did not break his foot. It's just a deep bruise and he should be good to go in a few weeks. Right after the fight he thought the most-fair thing to do was to grant Alexander Gustafsson a rematch. Now, after watching the fight over ten more, Jones thinks he decisively won rounds two, four and five and that he decisively won the fight, so the most-fair thing to do is to move on."

    Apparently edging rounds on points = decisive victory in MMA these days.


    Dana White trashes champion Georges St-Pierre following UFC 167 retirement

    "You owe it to the fans, you owe it to that belt, you owe to this company, and you owe it to Johny Hendricks to give him that opportunity to fight again, unless you’re going to retire. There’s no I’m going to go on a cruise, and I’m going to be gone for two years, and I’m going to take a hiatus. I’m going to take a leave of absence. Whatever the hell it was that he was saying. That’s not how it works."

    GSP got his revenge weeks later telling the UFC to take back their belt.


    Ronda Rousey refuses to shake hands with Miesha Tate following UFC 168 win

    "I feel like the day that she formally apologizes to my coach Edmond (Tarverdyan) and Chris Beal and they accept that apology, then I will consider shaking your hand again," Rousey said at the UFC 168 post fight press conference. "I said up there boos are not (more) important to me than my family. If I feel like you've done wrong against my family, you need to make that right before I can shake your hand. It means something to me, it's not something I just throw out there.

    "She's a great fighter. It was an amazing fight she put out. She has my respect entirely in that regard, but she really needs to make up a few things she's done before I will shake her hand."


    Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Welcome to WMMA where feuds don't end with the final bell.


    The cult of Lloyd Irvin exposed following rape trial, the past comes back to ruin him

    Hard to summarize the nightmare year Lloyd Irvin had in 2013, but it begins with two of his students being arrested for rape which led to Irvin's own decades old gang rape case being brought to light (Irvin's successful defence was that he wanted to participate but couldn't get it up), his affiliate schools disbanding, an exposé in the Miami New Times detailing the cult-like atmosphere of his schools and business schemes, former students accusing him of seduction and coercion, Irvin purchasing a website "lloydirvinrape.com" in an attempt to direct his own negative press towards his self defence seminars, and finally his most esteemed students and black belts including UFC Champion Dominick Cruz cutting ties with him. Holy shit.

    Wasn't sure whether to include Irvin in this list. Clearly he goes way beyond the dick moves we're talking about with the other, otherwise well intentioned people.

    I wouldn't have included Irvin lol because he far outweighs everyone here.

    Outside of that, DFW takes the cake.
