Dana White and Joe Rogan destroy propaganda

As mandatory vaccinations spread throughout the business world of the United States, some leaders are standing up to speak out against the health requirement trend that has been infecting free market capitalism here. This week, President of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) Dana White and fellow UFC and top podcast host Joe Rogan both took the time to give their thoughts on vaccine mandates and the effects that they have on our personal freedoms in America.

In a recent interview, Dana White spoke with MMANews.com about the pressure being placed on athletes and viewers alike to get themselves vaccinated to either perform or attend any public sporting events. He shared his view on vaccine mandates, saying that his organization will never place health mandates on anyone associated with or looking to come to any of his UFC shows.

Dana White said, “I would never tell another human being what to do with their body. If you want to get vaccinated, that’s up to you. That’s your choice. You’re never gonna hear me say I’m gonna force people to get vaccinated. Never gonna happen.”

If only the rest of the business world would share this same view. This statement comes as major corporations from big tech to big business to the music, television and film industries all have decided to force employees to become vaccinated, regardless of their health history, personal concerns or religious beliefs. This statement also comes as New York City has become the first city to implement a mandatory vaccine health passport for all citizens wishing to participate in human life there.

Speaking on the news, Dana White continued to say that, “They’re telling you in New York you can’t go into a restaurant or a gym unless you’re vaccinated and can prove it and things like that. Some people are getting fired if they don’t get vaccinated. Yeah, that’s not gonna happen here. You wanna get vaccinated? Get vaccinated. If you don’t, that’s your decision, your body.”

In a few months, scheduled for November 6th of this year, the UFC is planning to have an event in New York City at Madison Square Garden. With the news of the vaccine passport mandate, Dana White is open to changing the venue if complications arise and freedom isn’t allowed in the city.

On the scheduled event, Dana White said, “I don’t know. We’ll see. As this stuff starts to play out, I told you guys a million times, I’m going to go where I can run a normal event. I said that I would be first and I would do the first indoor sold out arena with no social distancing and no masks and none of that stuff. We did it. We did it in Florida. We did it in Texas. We did it in Arizona. We did it in Vegas. We’re going to sell out again this weekend in Texas.”

White concluded that, “I don’t know what the future holds or what’s going to happen as this stuff continues to play. I wasn’t ready 1.5 years ago. I’m ready for anything now. I don’t care what happens, how it goes, how these different states run their stuff, I don’t care anymore. I’m ready to roll. I have plans now.”

The sound of a truly free American who lives and breathes free market capitalism. Why can’t more business leaders in this country be like Dana White? It sure would be great to see, but so far it seems that many of our companies care less and less about freedom or even free market capitalism choosing to support socialist ideals and communist nations over the Constitution, American business and the American people. They say that woke is broke, and I’m personally hoping a business reckoning is in store for the future as more and more consumers grow tired of all the nonsense of modern times. Only time will tell.

Joe Rogan, host of the number 1 Spotify streaming podcast, recently chimed in with his thoughts on vaccine mandates during an interview with Black Rifle Coffee’s Evan Hafer. This video is essential viewing for everyone who shares any concern with anything that has been happening over the past year between the pandemic, the vaccine and the push by government and business for health mandates.

To share a part of the conversation, when Hafer initially asked Rogan why people are supporting vaccine mandates, Joe said, “Because they are dumb. They don’t understand history. They don’t understand human beings. They don’t understand human nature. They don’t understand the history of every single country that’s ever existed other than the United States up until 1776, every fucking country that had ever existed was run by dictators. All of them. This is the first one where you had elected officials. This is the first experiment in self government that actually worked and it created the greatest superpower the world has ever known. It created the greatest cultural machine, the greatest machine of art, creativity and innovation – right fucking here. And how did it do that? It did it through freedom. Because when you give people freedom, let people do whatever the fuck they want to do, they actually find ways to succeed and grow and thrive.”

“But as soon as you put the boots to them, as soon as you tell them ‘you have to do this or you can’t do that’ – now you have a mini dictator. You have one step away from a king. One step closer. You’re moving one step closer to a dictatorship. That’s what the fuck is happening. That’s what’s going to happen with the vaccine passport. That’s what’s going to happen if they close borders. You can’t enter New York City unless you have your papers. You can’t go here unless you have that. You can’t get on a plane unless you do what I say. And people say ‘Well it’s all about protecting people’ – No it’s not! Because we’ve shown, this is a fact, just a couple of months ago, the idea of a breakthrough case was unheard of. Nobody heard of anyone catching covid that had a vaccine. That was the whole idea. You get a vaccine, you don’t have to worry about it. Now we know, not only do you get it, but you can spread it, and some people have died. Apparently it is a small number, I don’t know what the numbers are, but I know that most people get vaccinated, when they do have the disease, they have a better time with it than the people who are unvaccinated”

“But where are the people out there calling for people to get healthy? Where are the people out there calling for people to lose weight? 78% of the people in the ICU for covid are obese. 78%. Where’s that information being shared? Where’s someone who’s a leader who gets on T.V. and says ‘ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got to decrease our body mass, we’ve got to decrease our fat, we’ve got to make sure that people aren’t overweight. We’ve got to make sure that people are healthy. Walk around your block. You don’t have to do something complicated. Start drinking more water. Stop eating sugar. Start taking vitamins. You can increase the strength of your immune system. We can fight things off better. We can be a healthier civilization.’ Better for everybody. Right? You don’t hear a peep. All you hear is ‘take this vaccine that doesn’t even prevent you from getting the disease or you can’t go to the sauna, or wherever the fuck you want to go. You can’t go to the Broadway show.’ It’s madness.”

Amen to that.

Joe Rogan also shared a document of a scientific study from 2015 called “Imperfect Vaccination Can Enhance the Transmission of Highly Virulent Pathogens”. Rogan read from the article that, “Vaccines that keep the host alive, but still allow transmission, can thus allow virulent strains to circulate in a population”. This is the same situation we’re dealing with having ‘breakthrough cases’ of vaccinated catching and spreading mutations of the virus. Vaccination can quite possibly lead to stronger viruses.

Now that’s a real kicker.

“When In Doubt, Use Lightweights” A UFC 216 Preview

Joey

October 2nd

Before I begin with the usual, I suppose I have to start by addressing the atrocities that occurred last night/this morning in Las Vegas. I lack a really eloquent way to simply say that this shit, every bit of it, really needs to stop. No matter your political beliefs, interpretation of the constitution, opinion on firearms or whatever, nobody should have to go to a place of entertainment with a cloud of "Am I going to survive tonight?" hanging over their heads. We should all be better than this shit. We should demand more from our representatives and one another. Thoughts and prayers are nice but some action in the other direction would be nice. Let's make this place a tolerable place to live in for a little while.

The UFC returns to Las Vegas and this is a very peculiar card. The buyrate, the true be all and end all which determines the success of a show, will probably not be through the roof. At the same time, the UFC is giving two new guys the opportunity to headline a PPV with a really solid developed undercard beneath it. Beyond that, there are guys who CAN be bigger stars sprinkled throughout the show. It's a really good show as of right now with potentially one more fight to get added for some good old fashioned depth. It's survived a few knocks which speaks to its depth thus far although we still have THE DREADED MID WEEK FIGHT CANCELLATION to worry ourselves about. If you've got some money laying around to spend on a show, one with two title fights, a shot at history, a HW fight for people who like big people and a very pivotal 155 lb fight is the sort of show you should be into.

Fights: 12

Debuts: 1 (Poliana Botelho)

Fight Changes/Injury Cancellations: 3 (Paige Van Zant vs Jessica Eye cancelled, Andrea Lee vs Kalindra Faria cancelled, Abel Trujillo OUT, Bobby Green IN vs Lando Vannata)

Headliners (fighters who have either main evented or co-main evented shows in the UFC): 12 (Tony Ferguson, Kevin Lee, Demetrious Johnson, Fabricio Werdum, Derrick Lewis, Evan Dunham, Beneil Dariush, Will Brooks, Lando Vannata, Bobby Green, John Moraga, Thales Leites)

Fighters On Losing Streaks in the UFC: 3 (Will Brooks, Matt Schnell, Marco Beltran)

Fighters On Winning Streaks in the UFC: 7 (Tony Ferguson, Kevin Lee, Evan Dunham, Demetrious Johnson, Ray Borg, Walt Harris, Brad Tavares)

Stat Monitor for 2017:

Debuting Fighters (Current number: 28-26)- Poliana Botelho

Short Notice Fighters (Current number: 17-28)- Bobby Green

Second Fight (Current number: 23-30)- Tom Duquesnoy, Pearl Gonzales, Magomed Bibulatov

Cage Corrosion (16-8)- Evan Dunham

Twelve Precarious Ponderings

1- Looking at this main event, it's a pretty perplexing challenge to determine just what this interim title means. Despite his talk this weekend, you can't help but get the feeling that McGregor vs Diaz III is more likely than not going to be the fight that comes next for Conor. The actual title will likely be held up with a money fight, a fight that revolves around getting the most dollars possible which is absolutely fine from a business sense. It does little though to prevent the UFC from taking on the bad smell of boxing's mistakes; ya know where you'd have the "actual" champ, an "interim" champion and then a champion emeritus in case a guy decides to retire then unretire. It doesn't even help that to SOME (not all but some) Kevin Lee is just a guy filling in a spot best reserved for Khabib Nurmagomedov. That's unfair given that Lee has been fighting top competition for a while while Khabib has been injured or incapable to take the call to fight but you can't change narratives once they're formed. It's not easy to rewire the already formed opinion/mind of fans. It also isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility that the interim champ defends his title AT LEAST ONCE before the actual champ fights and no, not due to injury either. The reality is that this is a great fight but discovering its worth is complicated.

2- How confident should the UFC be in Ray Borg making "the walk" as some would say. He had a bad weight cut which either did or didn't lead to the illness which got him yanked (given how it happened vs Ian McCall in a similar situation, I'm going with yeah there) and is opting to go SANS nutritionist on this one. Some of you fellas might need to go back and watch some Magomed Bibulatov just in case.

3- Is Mighty Mouse done until the spring if he wins? Pettis vs Cejudo in December means the winner is probably the #1 contender barring Joe B getting healthy and getting a title shot in the winter. Could be the last time we see the P4P best for a while.

4- Similarly I think there's ample pressure on Werdum and Derrick Lewis here to do something big. Miocic may be out for however long this contractual snafu takes to fix up and so the winner might need to be really impressive to keep pace with Ngannou, Overeem and Alexander Volkov.

5- The last time Tony Ferguson REALLY struggled, not counting a first round vs a replacement guy with a funky style, was Danny Castillo. Castillo was able to take advantage of Ferguson's wacky submission game and basically try to grind out a decision win. I'd argue Ferguson has improved ten fold since then BUT Kevin Lee has some Castillo in his game. He's very good at getting a fight to where it needs to be, he's determined and relentless and his submission game is way better than Danny Castillo's ever was. I'm not saying I'm picking Lee to win BUT I think stylistically he's got a fair shot to pull off something here.

6- Tom Duquesnoy is getting a very moderate step up in competition as the UFC pits him vs Cody Stamman as THE featured prelim bout for UFC 216. It's a winnable fight for Mr. Duquesnoy and a good showcase of whether or not his wrestling is up to par to compete vs a big physical 135er. Stamman had no problems taking Terrion Ware down so this is one to keep an eye out for.

7- Kevin Lee has scrambled with some very good grapplers so I don't expect him to be overwhelmed in that regard. What I am curious to see is whether Lee's propensity to panic in exchanges will come out. Going way back to the Jesse Ronson fight, there were moments where as soon as things got a little hectic, he'd shoot in for a takedown and just try to muscle people around. That's great against guys who aren't expert neck grabbers but if/when Ferguson senses a panic TD, he's going to snatch a neck, give up the takedown and force Lee to defend against his d'arce. Hard to do for 25 minutes.

8- Do not forget Ferguson had a 25 minute fight at high altitude where he was so bored he decided to salsa dance----anybody suggesting Lee has any sort of cardio advantage is someone who you shouldn't listen to.

9- A tale of two completely different stuttering hype trains on the UFC 216 prelims. We can begin with "Groovy" Lando Vannata who is better than he's shown thus far. Lando is 1-2 in the UFC but I'd caution that David Teymur is low key really great and losing to Tony Ferguson on a week's notice is nothing to be ashamed of. Vannata is just one of those guys who has this overly relaxed malaise to his game which costs him when he's going one strike for every four landed vs composed strikers. You can maybe win that way at 185 or 205 lbs where power > skill but not so at 155 lbs. Lando gets Bobby Green in what SHOULD be a showcase for Vannata given how Green is not the kind of guy who overwhelms you with pressure and isn't going to give you a lot of things to be concerned about. He does everything well but never well enough, at least since he hurt his knee, to give you reason for pause. On the other hand you have WIll Brooks who came into the UFC with a ton of fanfare straight out of Bellator. The results? 1-2 with a caveat. His first loss was Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira in a fight where Oliveira missed by like six lbs. That one you can wrap up and discard. The loss vs Carlos Oliveira? A lot harder to discard and much differ to wash away. Brooks is struggling and the UFC seems to have recognized that because Nik Lentz is like THE easiest touch for him. It's a guy who does everything Brooks does except not as well, not as athletically gifted and without the power to give Brooks cause for concern. This is as close to a gift wrapped win as it gets.

10- This main card is currently lacking a fight by the by. So who gets bumped up? They've already advertised Will Harris vs Mark Godbeer and Thales Leites vs Brad Tavares as the main fights of note for the FP portion. Do they bump up Moraga vs Bibulatov? How about maybe sneaking up the card the fight between Brooks/Lentz?

11- Brad Tavares is under 30, he's on a winning streak, he's one of the longer tenured UFC middleweights in the world and he's on the prelims. Why? The last time he finished a fight was in early 2011 against PHIL BARONI. Dude needs a finish in the worst way.

12- Walt Harris vs Mark Godbeer is the tipping point for this card. If it sucks, run for the hills. IF it's good? Haboy.

Must Wins

Kevin Lee

There's no doubt in my heart of hearts that Kevin Lee would not get another opportunity for this shot outside of a collection of circumstances like this. Look at the 155 lb landscape as it currently stands; McGregor vs Diaz III is coming. Eddie Alvarez/Justin Gaethje likely gives you a back up option off of that. Dustin Poirier and Anthony Pettis is a really great fight between two really great exciting fighters people wanna see. Russian LWs like Khabib Nurmagomedov and the smashing machine Mairbek Taisumov exist. Kevin Lee is a great fighter but if he wants to keep the public's attention, he pretty much HAS to win.

Derrick Lewis

Any UFC HW from ages 35 to 45 will always be given ample opportunities to redeem themselves. Look at Andrei Arlovski. Look at Travis Browne. Look at Overeem. Look at etc etc etc forever until the end of time. HWs are an ageless commodity for some people---so if Werdum loses? NBD. Sometimes good fighters lose am I right? Now Derrick Lewis is a different story. For some people, Lewis has always been sort of a "when the bubble bursts" guy. His wins while violent aren't always impressive. His focus and cardio can come and go in stops and starts. More often than not, a fight ends with him literally crying. Still he's fun in a division that needs fun and he's one of the more amusing guys out there. So a win for Derrick Lewis would be cool.

Mighty Mouse

HISTORY Is on the line, dudes!

Five Can't Miss Fights

1- Kevin Lee vs Tony Ferguson

Even if the title wasn't on the line, this would be the best fight on almost any card (outside of some combination of Ferguson, Alvarez, Gaethje or Poirier). It's a genuinely great LW fight.

2- Mighty Mouse vs Ray Borg

I feel like your feelings on Mighty Mouse say a lot about you as an MMA fan. For me, we should all band together and watch as our marvel of joy and bundle of asswhoop goes out there to do his deed. <3 Mighty Mouse.

3- Lando Vannata vs Bobby Green

Lando is must see entertainment, the sort of fighter who fights fearlessly and does shit that should cost him a fight every time he fights. Bobby Green is a similar minded fighter. Assuming it's not a staring/jaw jack contest, this should be good.

4- Tom Duquesnoy vs Cody Stamman

Duquesnoy is VERY similar to Lando Vannata in the sense that each and every fight he has, he's so careless (in a good way) that he seems to welcome an element of danger. He's really fun to watch and Stamman showed me a lot vs Terrion Ware. It's a great test for Duquesnoy because if he's going to make it at 135 lbs, the top of that division has a lot of dudes who can wrestle their ass off.

5- Magomed Bibulatov vs John Moraga

I've seen glimpses of Bibulatov and wasn't overly impressed BUT Moraga seemed to rediscover the tricks which made John Moraga a #1 contender once. He gave a limited opponent all kinds of fits in New Zealand and looked to bee back to his old ways. Great test for Bibulatov and Moraga, when he feels like it and is on, is a fun dude to watch.
