		<description>It is so incredibly ignorant that the Texas commission refuses to give out the fightersâ€™ salaries, citing privacy, but they included every single one of the fightersâ€™ home addresses in their ruling. That makes a lot of senseâ€¦

Also, the legal basis in the ruling is flimsy at best, given the policy of almost every legitimate athletic commission in the country.  If someone had the money to sue the commission for the records, they would likely win in the end.

Itâ€™s also amusing that the ruling says, â€œWe have also received comments from Zuffa, LLC, d/b/a/ Ultimate Fighting Championship (â€Zuffaâ€),â€ but later says, â€œAs our ruling is dispositive, we need not address Zuffaâ€™s arguments.â€

(feel free to change the curse words in the next paragraph to "f---ing" if you'd like, I don't know what your policy is)

I wonder what that legal document from Zuffa to the appeals board looked like.   Somehow I doubt it said â€œDonâ€™t fucking ask me about fucking numbers! The fighters are making great fucking money! Thereâ€™s not a single fighter who has complained about their fucking salary! And they donâ€™t even fucking want to know what the fuck the other fighters are making! You should worry about how much fucking money youâ€™re making and mind your own fucking business!â€ although if it did say that, it would be an overwhelmingly convincing argument.</description>

		<description>10 Dennis was in the range of 20-30 a day. It is wierd not seeing him on here anymore. I didn't know he lost his job that sucks. I was posting a lot more before we got really busy at work and with my freelance stuff so I know what it's like. I was kinda curious to see what he had to say about Chuck's defeat but it seems like he disappeared just before. I still read the daily news and visit the site daily just haven't had the time to read all the posts and comment as much either. Damn bills</description>
