I agree. The bottom line is winning your bout. A W is a W no matter how it's obtained. You can easily make a case that Thales was doing some simple BJJ LNP.

If I was a fighter I'd only worry about getting that W. I don't think I'd give two fu*ks what Dana White or some Yahoo! assh*le had to say about it. You may lose a fight if you try being "exciting" or "entertaining" because another guy could catch you on the button while you're swinging for the fence. So stupid.

Writers cry about Machida in the same manner. They say he's boring/not star power/etc etc, but look at Machida after every fight! He doesn't have a scratch on him, and he has a W on his record. MMA is suppose to be about various styles and match ups, not a slobber knocker bloodfest.

Dana White needs to step away from the camera. I think he's good for the business in some ways, but he's just a bad face to have for the UFC if they want to continue to grow and become a "real" sport.
