    Meltzer is a shill, it's just the truth, tell me how a guy rarely if ever has a negative thing to say about the ufc when it is the biggest mma promotion with the most fighters, money, press, stories, etc...it goes against the law of averages, especially the way the ufc runs, they are not under the radar, constantly in public battles with fighters, other promotions and reporters, it's just not possible to not criticize them

    But he can parrot dana about M1, showtime or fighters dana doesn't like, to say this guy isn't shilling for zyffa is insane, yes he has giving SF pub, but he has to if he is covering the sport, but the zuffa bias is obvious

    Like I said, the way zuffas runs it is impossible to not be critical of them unless you are shilling because they hold the access over the medias head besides a couple people how have questioned them and you see where that leads

      Not sure what you want from Meltzer. He breaks down stories from most angles. For example, the Diaz fiasco...he wrote about the business side of things and what the changes mean. Ultimately, he compared it to UFC being TNA in their handling of Jeff Hardy...which is anything but positive.. Meaning, one day they take Diaz out of the main event fight and are considering firing him, to putting him in the co-main event in a matter of hours.

      Just because he doesn't tear them down in his Yahoo! stories doesn't mean he's a shill.

        You have to understand that rob is reading blurbs posted on UG from other wacky, paranoid anti UFC guys. Anyone who actually reads what Meltzer writes knows he's hardly a shill for anyone.

          If you're going to be critical of m1, showtime, fighters, etc...and not critical of zuffa you're a shill, plain and simple

          Just like shillawani during the cro cop mess, classic zuffa shill reporting

            I don't even follow MMA but I listen to every audio show F4W/WO posts and he's more than critical about UFC on a number of occasions.

              Yeah, he rips UFC to shreds all the time, particularly about the booking and Dana's crass behavior.

                My problem with Helwani, is he will ask Dana a tough question, and Dana will repond with bullshit, and Helwani never has the balls to follow up and challenge the bullshit.
