I've been telling you guys for years that Botter is a fraud, I used to get into it all the time with him over on Meltzer's site. He's the exact type of "journalist" that liquidrob has been complaining about forever, who bow at the alter of Dana White and are more concerned with "pissing Dana off" and losing access than doing their job.
He's the paid lead writer over at B/R, and he sent this memo to the rest of the staff, paid & unpaid. Say what you want about B/R, they have a ton of readers and hired "legit" professional writers like Botter, so they wield influence because they have millions of readers. And for B/R's top MMA writer to advise the rest of the staff to basically "Let's not piss Dana off, guys", that's pretty embarrassing.
And before you say "LOL B/R", be smart enough to understand that this is basically how every website operates if they want UFC access. I don't even blame Botter really, he's smart enough to know that his access to Dana is important to his career, so he plays the game. Not the route I would take, but whatever, he's the one who looks at himself in the mirror.
FYI, over on the Meltzer board, Mike Sawyer of Tough Talk MMA praises Botter in the thread..."Good advice". So you can scratch Tough Talk MMA off your list of bookmarks, he's a scared puppy too.
