Here's some more reaction in a recent article. For the transcript part, ML is Mo and PL in the commissioner:
And here's how she acted in another case, according to Cagewriter:
So she's a lawyer who wants to see if there's any possible defense and she asks this same stuff of white people who don't fill out their forms correctly.

This is the way questioning is done in legal proceedings.
The only racist in that meeting was Mo. Only a racist convinced of his own inferiority would be so quick to play the victim of racism. Frankly, to me, this is a very surprising attitude coming from the educated son of immigrants. Clearly it is the failure of Oklahoma State University and his parents that they did not better prepare him for life.

Strikeforce is dead, Zuffa are pure scum plain and simple there is no dignity left for fighters, its bow down and suck Danas dick ot go fight in some 2 pence promotion
My god BAMMA needs to do it, BAMMA needs to grow strong gain respect, get the support it needs get the cash from somewhere anywhere some billionaire investor please buy that promotion get the show on Sky Sports and give the best fighters in the world a place where they can compete and keep the dignity without having to suck Zuffa pipe, judge them not on if they go along to there interview, say the right world to hype up there fights or what they tweet on the social disgrace to humanity network that is tweeter, but instead on there ability to fight.
The fact that Zuffa abuse the power they hold over the MMA market, and can dismiss some of the best fighters in the world over a fcuking tweet is disgusting, what is a tweet anyway really, its a fcuking meaningless pile a random bull shit, a tweet should be taken about as seriously as a Canadian playing football.
OK the commission wants to in force some type of punishment that kind of bull shit, fair play its public I guess so let the commission to there part and regulate the consequences, now all we need if for a promotion there part and support there fcuking fighters and turn its focus on signing the best talent and not on the personal comments made by the fighters, give the best fighters a place to fcuking fight and stop trying to run there lifes and making them sign your theme tune while there force to take a mouth full of Zuffs pipe juice.
Am sorry but Zuffa are a joke they take Chung fcuking Lei into the UFC put pass up on Fedor, they drop one of the worlds top LHW's in his prime while the division besides a select few is in shambles and in process of the biggest slump in MMA history.
Its times like this where I really hope there is a Hell, please please please let there be a hell and let all the Zuffa puppets meet up there for all eternity, if there is a hell then surly Dana White has to go there, he has to how could there be any other option available to that sorry excuse of a person, no way not a chance how could heaven even exist also if Dana was a there am been very serious any plain of existence where Dana White is in existence could never be classed as heaven, so I really hope that these places exist because we all know there is only one place for Dana if these beliefs turn out to be real.

I wouldn't consider a division that includes Jones, Evans, Machida, Henderson, Shogun, Davis, Gustaffson, Bader, Nogueira, Nedkov and Silva a shambles.
Also, it's not ZUFFA that have decided to crush Strikeforce, it's Showtime. They're impossible to negotiate with, ZUFFA have found it impossible to work with them, so have taken the fighters they deem good fits in the UFC, that are worth the money they're demanding. The UFC don't see Fedor as a viable signing. M-1 still want ludicrous money for him, and a stupid contract, and with Fedor on a 3 fight skid before he left Strikeforce, it made no sense for them to pay him a fortune.
The UFC have offered the guys they want a contract, and it's up to them if they decide to take it or not. There's no ZUFFA 'Pipe Juice' swallowing required. Either the UFC are interested in having you fight for their organisation or not, there's no conspiracy against guys that won't bow down to every UFC demand. They pay their guys well, look after them, and try to get the best fighters in the world. I don't see where this ludicrous anti-ZUFFA bullshit comes from. I guess it's just a matter of disliking what's popular, and successful for no real reason. You might not like Dana, but get over it, the organisation he works for are the best Mixed Martial Arts company in the world, and not the corrupt monopoly you make them out to be.

The are a corrupt Monopoly they are No.1 in the world right now without doubt becasue they destroyed the competition, SF seemed to have no worries before Zuffa was involved, who can blame them for been pissed at the sell out, they have taken so much away from that promotion and given it nothing, maybe its Zuffa who are the ones that are impossible to deal with.
Hopefully when The SF deal is up and seriously who really cares about the GP even anymore since Zuffa dug its claws and ruined that one, I just hope Showtime give some other promotion a chance to give fan a great MMA show or create there own.

Commissioners response :

“I was not upset, and I never considered it to be derogatory. What I was doing was laying the classic or standard foundation for the gentleman to make sure that he understood the form that he was signing, that it was designed to be a truthful statement and that the information he was supposed to put on the form was supposed to be true and correct… From my perspective, I’ve used that standard line of questioning for each and every athlete that has come before us, when their candor on their pre-fight questionnaire has been an issue. On occasion, we do have fighters that come before us, that have indicated their trainers or maybe someone who was with them at the time or a manager has filled out the form — that they don’t read English, that they don’t understand English, which maybe a second or a third language for them. What we try to do is to ensure that, if we’re going to be taking that into account, that they do understand what it is that they’re signing and that they have read it.”

The way I understand it, it wasn't Zuffa who decided one day to buy Strikeforce. Strikeforce put it up for sell. So you can't blame Zuffa for taking advantage of Strikeforce's mismanagement.
I know you don't like Zuffa, and as far as who is the headache to deal with you may be correct. The fact remains, however, Strikeforce is not gone because of Zuffa, Strikeforce is gone because of Strikeforce.

Actually from how I understand it, Scott Coker wasn't thrilled about the idea of Zuffa buying Strikeforce. However, Zuffa became the highest bidder. Can you imagine what would've happened if ProElite had bought them out though?
