UFC on FOX video promo destroys boxing bigot Bob Arum

Remember these comments, from fossilized fight promoter Bob Arum, that we posted right here on MMAmania.com back in Sept. 2009? Well, looks like they've come back to bite him in the ass in this latest UFC on FOX video promo (above).

Here's a taste:

"The UFC are a bunch of skinhead white guys watching people in the ring who also look like skinhead white guys. 90-percent of the people in the audience wear tattoos. For me and people like me, it is not something they ever care to see. They watched it, it's horrible, guys rolling around like homosexuals on the ground. I mean it's not a sport that shows great, great talent. The guys who throw punches can't throw a punch to save their ass, when the punches land, the guys have no chins. These guys are not like boxers."

See his entire rant here, which sounds pretty foolish when you consider the biggest night in the history of the promotion, a heavyweight title fight between Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos at UFC on FOX on Nov. 12, is being contested between a Mexican and a Brazilian. And to be fair, at the time of his comments, we were just a few months removed from the UFC 98 headliner between Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida.

Hello, Mr. Arum? I have comeuppance on line one...

Perfectly done and pissed directly on every comment Arum made. What a closed minded clown Arum is. I love seeing him destroyed like this!

by Modusopks on Nov 9, 2011 4:51 PM EST up reply actions  

Arum is a moron!

He’s just hoping that he can convince those who don’t know any better that the UFC/MMA isn’t worth watching. But his attempts will fail miserably! And Boxing is about to slip further away with MMA going mainstream.

Signature? How in the hell am I supposed to sign a computer screen?

Does it really destroy Bob?

He knows he’s full of shit

i think it really gives a reflection of what some of the old time boxing promoters think of us and of other people that are different

A lot of people are resistant to change and Arum is one of them.

I've got something to say; it better to burn out than to fade away!!!
Is it really funny Mayhem, please tell me its funny.

Good promoting Dana, you do a good job. Shame your followers don’t understand what you’re doing, TUF nubs.

Assumed it was Dana ranting. Good job.

What a way to make that dinosaur eats his words.

Great video. Getting pumped for this fight and for the Fox deal making this sport as big as it should be.

If boxing is a science then MMA is astrophysics.

GREAT Fucking PRomo

UFC on Fox LETS GO!!!!

"The hot topic that everybody should be talking about is that he's been the champion for three weeks and not one coward at 205 has challenged him. Not one guy has called him out and said, 'I want to fight that guy.' If you're all scared of a 23-year-old kid, turn your gloves in, sign your pink slip and show yourself the door." - Chael Sonnen on Light Heavyweight Division

Wow

Now that was a great promo vid. Super pumped as everyone is for Saturday night and just for good measure they made Arum look like the floundering gas bag that he is. Great job

that's not real is it?

that seems like something a fan would cook up online. i can’t see a large corporation like fox sports out right trying to make someone look foolish. especially when they still air boxing events. real or fake good promo

by augiechimpo on Nov 9, 2011 4:41 PM EST reply actions  

Yep its legit.

And FOX has never aired boxing bouts as far as Im concerned.

FOX has aired boxing..just not recently tho..

It was throughout the 90s…In fact FOX aired 1 or 2 Mike Tyson bouts…at least one horrible fight against Buster Mathis if I’m remembering correctly..

I don't lose what I give away....

i highly doubt that this is real.

i’ve never seen it on actual TV, and the foul language might cut it on a TV show, but certainly not in a promo commercial.

UMM DANA

How will the fight go 30 minutes? Am I missing something here?

You've been Dana'd

We own the WW division, EH

by DJF on Nov 9, 2011 5:12 PM EST reply actions  

You are missing the minute between rounds

BUT

round one 5 mins +1min
round 2 +1min
round 3 +1
round 4 +1
round 5

Technically it could go 29 mins max, so indeed you are still correct, and Dana is wrong.

Its sad that some people dont understand the sport of MMA..

Mixed martial arts is the best sport in the world. The most purest form of competition. Im glad I got to watch this beautiful sport grow. This guy is a fool but I guess everyones entitled to an opinion

no, that would be more like eye gouges and headbutts

Great promo video. If that is legit, I want to see Bob Arum’s face as he was watching it for the first time.

by mmachiro on Nov 9, 2011 5:23 PM EST reply actions  

HOLY SHIT

This is BY FAR the best trailer that the UFC has ever done. I watched it like 7 times in a row and it gave me goosebumps every time. I CAN NOT WAIT for this fight. I see big things. I only wish I could invest some money in the UFC at this point.

Imagine if he was white throwing out things along the line of skinheads but the other way around

"When swinging from nut-sack of the mighty "Quittin" Rampage Jackson, try to avoid getting his ball-sweat in your eyes….it tends to blind you from the obvious. Now, if I could just play a round of golf with my dream foursome of Chael Sonnen, Larry Merchant and Danago, I can die a happy man."

I like boxing...

…but what a nincumpoop. Other than Pacquiao fights, there really isn’t shit else out there for boxing. MMA is the NEW, it’s just too bad the “faces” of MMA will never get paid as much as the “faces” of boxing, which is sad.

bob arum sucks

that aside, that trailer looks fucking sweet, fuckers couldn’t have picked a better fight to debut on fox either, two smaller but super agile heavyweights, can’t wait.

by nopesorryhomie on Nov 9, 2011 7:23 PM EST reply actions  

beg yer fucking pardon.

guess he isn’t as altogether stupid as some of his comments would indicate. can’t stop the ufc.

by nopesorryhomie on Nov 9, 2011 7:30 PM EST up reply actions  

What other choice does he have?

The UFC is a snowball rolling downhill.
Like it even matters…..he’ll be dead soon.

by RolloTomasi on Nov 9, 2011 7:32 PM EST up reply actions  

ye 30 minutes would probably be illegal.
arum is literally the epiphamy of the narrow minded, selfish, corporate exec. how anybody could possibly take what he says seriously with that gay comment, those are the words of a 10 year old.
