MIAMI – The president of Karate Combat, Asim Zaidi, criticizes his own performance as a leader. Thus, when he sees another face from a promotion of combat sports taking dubious measures, he has a lot to say.
In this case, “President Awesome” sent some criticisms to the co-founder of the PFL, Donn Davis, who is indeed one of the leaders in the MMA promotion. Davis has recently been criticized due to the management by the PFL of the Bellator fighters she acquired, from her knowledge of MMA, and more.
“Honestly, I hate saying that because he seems to be a nice guy – I would love to sit with him and understand,” Zaidi told Mma Junkie. “Maybe I don’t understand it. I don’t think he understands anything in combat sports. And I don’t think-if you’re not in this shit, if you can’t ride On the carpets with me, I don’t think you should be part of it, you see what I mean?
“He has never practiced the martial arts of his life. I say that out of ignorance, I don’t know if he did it, but there is no way, isn’t this guys Can he vomit a triangle? His career.
It must be recognized that Davis admits that he listens to criticism and makes adjustments. For example, when the former Bellator champion, Patricio Freire, publicly expressed his grievances and asked for a complete release of the PFL, Davis accepted. The promotion also rationalized certain promotional decisions, such as the abandonment of its flagship season format.
Some of the measures taken recently by Davis and the PFL respond directly to the concerns of fans. However, Zaidi, who praised Karate’s success in a shorter period than the PFL, would prefer that Davis manage business in the background while someone who has a deeper understanding of the fight. The world becomes the voice of promotion.
“He comes from the world of finance, which is wonderful, but stay behind and place Ray Sefo in front,” said Zaidi. “Imagine this for a moment: Imagine if Ray Sefo was president? It would be really respectable. It would be incredible. How can you say evil of Ray Sefo?
“Put Donn Davis in the background, he takes care of everything there. He is a guy in finance. Great. But hearing him talk about fighters and fights, we don’t even have the impression Let him look at fights. Dana White is an absolute G with everything he says, and I really agree with him: I don’t think the PFL has it. “”
