“There is a post over at fightlinker by a guy called Thomas Gerbilski that claims to provide proof of the situation. ”

LOL

Gerbilski is the pseudonym fightlinker uses whenever they are doing a satire post. It is the same name they used to ‘break’ the Luke Cummo coffee enema suspension story, the one that a number of major MMA blogs picked up and ran with as a legit news story.

Any time you see the name Gerbilski on a fightlinker byline, you can rest assured it is an Onion style parody piece and not legit news.

GKH: I’m sure Station is some sort of closely held corporation. Unless the Fertittas had to co-sign on the loan (pretty damn unlikely), then that’s some sort of fevered pipe dream. Piercing the veil to their personal assets would be difficult.

Anyways the terms of that loan may actually force the owners of Station to pony up cash, (not harsh words or more credit or equity or some slick refinancing job), so as not to default on that completely separate loan.

Do you think you could find the reference to that debt again? I’m curious to see what the terms of that debt issue is.

I could see the indentures giving the debt holders, say, a put option or an accelerated put schedule upon Station violating a negative covenant, but it seems extremely unlikely that the Fertittas would ever agree to ever having to put up their own (non-Station) cash.

Well Jeremy if you’ve heard me practicing Rosetta Stone I sure don’t sound like Sakakibara… But I’m trying. I guess sounding like Beard is all relative. But considering the Fertitta FAMILY (not Frank 3 and Lorenzo) were a well known mob connections under Frank 1. I don’t think i’m breaking ground here by accusing his progeny of not worrying about the morality of having guys shill for them.

That Fightlinker article seems to be a parody piece about the UFC leaking word of Affliction’s demise.

There is a post over at fightlinker by a guy called Thomas Gerbilski that claims to provide proof of the situation.

This name is very similar to UFC.com’s main writer Thomas Gerbasi. Are they the same person? If so i think we just found a candidate for MMALOGIC…

JOSEPH: are you or are you not the same joseph who actually wrote a “fluff” piece about Gary Shaw a few weeks before “standgate”.trying(and i use that term loosely) to point out several good points on that scumbag. and you wonder why you are seen as anti-zuffa. iv’e seen you on several sites like bloody elbow,mmamania,fightlinker.i know it’s you, b/c you say the same old things over and over and you always bag on the ufc and the wec. so why would it bother you if someone deems you as anti-zuffa, when you clearly are. at least SKWIRRL admits to it, even though his reasoning is very shallow. i don’t see why you guys spend so much time hating, it seems like a waste of energy, and you’re never going to change anything, but then again, i guess without guys like you 2 and several more, there would not be much to debate about on these sites. keep hating, haters.

The owners of ZUFFA had their family fortune made in a business where people get dumped into acid or ground into dog food. You really think hiring 4 or 5 guys to push their agenda is outside their morals? LMAO
