kom, I think that says a lot that they cut shaw’s reaction – shows a lot about what ppl think of shaw lol

lawler didn’t seem too cocky to me, he just didn’t seem to care. like he said, he’d get paid the same either way. he prolly also realizes what a d-bag shaw is.

the video i saw had your question and then robbie starting to answer. after that it cut to the next scene. nice job because they cut our shaws reaction from the video i saw. i dont know if lawler is cocky or hates shaw but he didnt seem interested in anything shaw was saying.

kom34 – it was funny, he seemed pretty pissed – called it an “aggravated question”. If you can find a video of the full press conference, it comes up shortly after the kimbo/rogers argument.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I was thinking the same thing about everyone else’s questions. Who that Phil Baroni still wants a paycheck, or that Gary Shaw loves CBS and Showtime?!?

My husband actually thought I was nuts for asking….but I just had to! I really felt like Lawler got dissed by the whole evening.

And btw Derek – I’m also from central NJ

Great journalist there. Nichole I hate all of the questions that are just fluff. No real MMA fans care about all of that. You went for it and even though Lawler can’t speak his mind, it shows that the Pres. had a little to hide there.

By the way I saw the video for the Kimbo and Rogers altercation. After it was done Shaw and Kimbo were up there talking with their arms one each others shoulders. How says there are not favorites huh Shaw?

Great coverage Nichole. I love how you asked a controversial question that incensed a reaction from the PRESIDENT GARY SHAW!! Exactly what good journalists are supposed to do. Great story.

Media Credentials my friend….CageTodays writer Nichole is from NJ, so it just made sense for her to attend and get that great coverage.

Unlike the UFC, other organization’s still let blogs and non-mainstream news sites cover their events.
