"The UFC has some fighters that they ain't good. They ain't good at all, but they have the marketing. I'm not going to say no names because I'm not disrespectful like that. But it could be like so-and-so or so-and-so, and that guy's lost a bunch of times, but he goes to the UFC, and since he's in the UFC, now he's world-class. You feel what I'm saying? It's all about the marketing."

The sad part is, that he is right. Some fighters get beat once and they are out....But Dana Little Tuf guys can get beat time after time, and most keep their spots.
The Brit gets knocked cold and now is going to headline a card.
The American "Getting beat down" hasn't won a fight in sometime yet still with the UFC.
Mr. Chris Roids gets beat again, and he will be on a PPV card,
and if you want I can keep going.
Oh how about old Ed the punching bag.
I love MMA, but Dana has fallen in love wiht his Tuff guys when they should dump some of them.

Dana is a strong position where he pretty much picks and chooses the best fighters in the world to do battle. Minus the few like Fedor. It's wrong the way he let's some guys go and then brings them back again.
The TUF guys seem to get away with a lot but they are known amongst the mainstream and thus the face of the UFC. It's not as easy to shaft them as the other guys. Shafting big names is possible.
At my work, if they got rid of Wanderlie Silva, it wouldn't mean anything to them but Michael Bisping rings a bell and gets them thinking.

He's kind of right.
If you fight in the UFC, pretty much all you have to do is impress Dana White. Leben will always come to mind, the guy has plenty of heart and goes there to bang, but he's not anything spectacular skill-wise. People like him will always have priority in Dana's eyes. Machida is perfect example. How many fighters did Machida destroy before he got the title shot? I don't even enjoy watching him fight that much but you can't argue the fact that he should've gotten the title shot sooner. Compare him with Lesnar.
There's no ranking or clear "contenders". They will always be picked by Dana. Granted Dana DOES look at what fans want, and that's why it's so successful. Fighters are pretty much tools(in the best possible meaning of the word) in the UFC. They have the last say in this matter IMO.

He talks to much for my liking.

Well King Mo is essentially dead on. However, an elementary student probably could have summarized it better than he did.

On a related note, I wonder who Frank Shamrocks next main event opponent will be for strikeforce.

King Mo is really smooth with words. That's some groundbreaking shit right there. Not only did it force me to reaccess my thoughts on the UFC, it also forced me to rethink my thoughts on life in general. Very powerful.
