Where does that benefit UAL? UFC doesn't do that with other fight leagues.. It doesn't make sense at all. Actually Jon, you don't know your history then because Dana agreed to let UFC fighters fight in Pride Fighting Championship in Japan years ago. Cross promotion isn't unheard of. And what I really meant was a co-hosted UAL/Arm Wars event anyway. Us vs.Them sort of thing.

I have full faith in Robert, and the rest of the UAL crew. 100%. But I am worried that some of this will be a circus side show. I want to see good pulls and this SPORT to be shown in a good light. I mean NO disrespect in this but pullers who are signed just because they "put on a show" may not be the best approach. I could be wrong.
UFC was NOT built on made "characters". They were just who they were. They put it all out there and brawled. Dana and the Fertitas made really smart business decisions on how to move the business forward and they pulled people into the UFC based on TALENT. Period. I want this for the UAL. People who can pull extremely well, talk trash before, during, and after the match but STILL show respect. Ryan Clark, RVJ, Corey Miller, Chris Chandler, and Justin Bishop are some GREAT picks.
Just my .02

What other organizations are there...? . Thank you Robert, Bill, and Mr Gurney. Sent from my ADR6400L using proboards I guess the first one I could think of that's legit is Arm Wars. But I'm sure UAL and Arm Wars could team up again.

With these people signing with the UAL, does this mean they can't pull for any other organizations now, or is that determined on a puller by puller basis and each contract is different?
(And if it's none of my business, well then that's ok too) ;-)

Have they been posted anywhere?
Also, who are the 8 exclusively signed pullers for the UAL that Robert was speaking of leading up to today?
Thanks.

Robert (or anybody) could you record the livestream and upload it either to the UAL site or a UAL YouTube account or something? I won't be available to watch the stream live but I want to see it later!

Muscles aren't strong. Strong is strong. Muscles SUPPORT strength. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't being on "the sauce" actually weaken tendons in the long run? I think this also is why sauce abusers never stick around in the sport.
I use test boosters. They're called squats and deadlifts.

I've attempted to reach out to John one last time. If he doesn't respond, I'm seeking legal action. I may be asking for testimony from anyone else who he's screwed over.
This is actually sad. I want the equipment I paid for, not just my money back. I'll take the money over nothing though. I believe he's got good ideas and solid product. Disappointed.

John got me rambling. Sorry. :-P Oh no, not you too! One of me is enough. I think I used up all the allotted text characters for this thread already! You are making great points. I enjoy your thoughtful posts. Ditto that, John. It's nice to have an intelligent conversation with someone (Brent is making good convo as well!) who uses proper grammar and punctuation rather than finger pointing, name calling, and belligerence. Not my style. ;-)

If I ever start shooting again, my style of video/cinematography is almost exactly like this. DSLR footage for shallow depth of field, crushed blacks, bleach bypass gradient or black and white, and edit to video to match the sound track. Pullerville for the Midwest? Haha
Love the work you guys do. Keep up the good work, boys.

Being a former bracket drag racer, getting the reaction time down was absolutely CRUCIAL to getting a victory. All you have is .500 of a second between lights. Nailing a perfect "five-oh-oh" light was hard to do but not impossible. Anything under .520 was decent, and .550 wasn't anything to brag about. But the fouls were easily detected when leaving early. The tire breaks the TxRx beam early and it's a red light. I just don't see a feasible/unclunky way for that to happen on the table. Even in a refs grip there's slight micro movements that may not even be detectable by the ref.
John got me rambling. Sorry. :-P
