4. Dave Meltzer Ratings Rant
http://youtu.be/pnDHwXwIK1g Dave Meltzer is one of the most credible journalists in MMA and pro wrestling history. His work on The Wrestling Observer has been going strong for over 25 years. His dedication and work ethic has inspired many people in becoming journalists, regardless if its covering MMA or pro wrestling. That being said, his article questioning the UFCs relationship with Fox was unwarranted. The UFC has a seven-year contract with Fox and had just started putting on shows for Fox. It was their third event on Fox headlined by Nate Diaz versus Jim Miller, which isnt a major draw for casual fans. The ratings werent great, but Dana explains thoroughly that they were still one of the most watched events that night. Meltzer will always be respected for his work, but he was put in his place on this occasion. For him to question UFCs stance with Fox during the first year of a major contract was senseless.
