If you click through, a bunch of great meme and gif makers are getting banned or getting takedown notices. UFC has never really embraced the internetz except when people are boosting their propaganda.

It’s truly amazing how out of touch the UFC is with its fan base.

Please don't take this as me defending the UFC as they're old and antiquated ways irritate the hell out of me but some of these accounts have taken advantage of the longer times video features and multiple pages per post to damn near post the fights while the events are happening.

That's going a bit far and is just asking for trouble.

It's like daring the assclowns at the UFC and WME to fuck with you.

Definitely true, but as we've long held, no one who watches a fight clip on IG was ever going to buy the ppv anyway. Seems like a waste of legal fees.

The r/MMA crowd is constantly switching photo/video upload sites. I figured it was to try to slow the attack of the UFC cyber team getting everything taken down.

Yep pretty crazy day. I'd say about half of the meme pages I follow got taken during the night by the UFC Gestapo. Haven't heard any reason for the purge, lots of people are looking into it. What is crazy is there are fake accounts popping up, stealing the following of the accounts that got shut down. Some ass started "as_shopped_as_it_gets" right after he got shut down and pretended to be him, ushering in a large following. Now he's stealing his new content and posting it as well. Insanity.

Robin Black got shut down too.

Fake account below. Dude even joined the MMA meme underground resistance group (Members shall not be named) and pretended to be him. Steals every new post he makes. Total douche.



His real account:




The fake account is taking a dive now that the survivors are putting the word out.
The fact that his real account has almost hit 10k in a day is a testament to how cool we all are, on average.
If I fall, whip your dicks for me.
