Our returners have actually been amazing this year . Probably the only consistently positive thing we ' ve had going for us . <| sep |> I ' m actually gonna end up going with the Fury , great deal right now . <| sep |> Parliament that is on permanent adjournment , except when voting for 400 % annual hike to themselves . <| sep |> The commission ' s job first and foremost is to protect the fighter . No , it ' s not . It ' s to ensure that athletic events are conducted in accordance with state and federal laws . They shouldn ' t care about the event or the promoters wishes , they are there to protect the fighter against those things . The thinking that they should regulate whatever they see fit is one of the reasons why commission ' s are in such a state . What do you mean such a state ? That a handful of MMA fans are upset with them ? Your whole thesis is based on an incorrect premise . You ' re projecting what you think is the stated purpose of athletic commissions . Their primary duty is maintaining and enforcing the law protecting the athletes is just one factor therein . Edit typo
