The UFC announced that George Clooney has been hired to run their fighter rehabilitation center, set to open in 2015. When asked about the hiring, Dana White explained "Look, the guy is popular and he's spent years pretending to practice medicine on TV. Besides, it's not like we're going to give him a champion as his first patient. We'll start him off with someone that is 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, something like that."

You guys can be assholes sometimes, you realize that? The UFC helped get MMA where it is today here in the states, and they got there by trying out new things. CM Punk being signed to the UFC immediately, fighting low-tier/low-experienced fighters, without the process of going through the regional circuit middle man... That's another new thing the UFC is trying, and I say we let it play out.

How about this. Sign Ben Askren and we'll all shut up. Every other Bellator Champ got signed. Ben Saunders got signed. Josh Burkman got resigned, Joe Riggs got resigned.
People were just ripping on bellator for having Tito vs Bonnar as the main event.
Sign Ben Askren and we'll be fine with them signing the punk.

I don't see what the big deal is. He's probably going to be one doctor out of 500 on staff. If it's his dream to be a doctor, let him give it a try in the rehab center.
