If I Did It: UFC Summit edition, Lavar Ball vs FS1, more

Welcome to If I Did It, the show where we confront PR kerfluffles from the world of MMA and beyond. This week we talk about the many debacles from the UFC summit and much much more.

Alexei Auld is back with a brand new book available 7 Secret Sources of Inspiration: A Snappy Guide for Creative Procrastinators to grill Eugene S. Robinson (who’s pushingOXBOW’s new record THIN BLACK DUKE) and I, Kid Nate with some PR stumpers from the world of combat sports.

For the audio only version check us out on SoundCloud and be sure to subscribe to MMA NATION on iTunes and subscribe to MMA Nation on YouTube so you’ll never miss an episode. This week’s kerfuffles include:

You’re WME-IMG. Cris Cyborg hit Angela Magana at your inaugural UFC Athlete Retreat, and the police cited her for battery. What citations are you planning against her for battering your company on Facebook? – 0:30

You’re Anheuser-Busch. UFC fighters were not impressed by the performance of your representative at their Athlete Retreat. The Funkmaster himself, Aljamain Sterling, summed it up perfectly by tweeting: “Who the hell would want @AnheuserBusch to sponsor them with a drunk douche talkin to them like he’s Gods gift. The shittiest speaker by far!“ Is this part of your “Born the Hard Way” branding and if not, should it be? – 6:20

You’re Reebok. UFC Lightweight Kajan Johnson was kicked out of the Athlete Retreat after putting your representative on blast, live and in public, if you will. He later tweeted that he had a great sit down with the UFC. Do you need to have one with the UFC, too?

You’re an MMA promoter. Last weekend, a twelve year old girl making her amateur MMA debut in Japan choked her twenty-four year old opponent unconscious. Under what circumstances, if any, would you pursue her next fight?

You’re Katy Perry. You allegedly dissed and dismissed drag queens from your SNL performance with Migos, because the rap group wasn’t down. While you kept some around on stage, you banned all drag performers who rehearsed and performed with you from your after party. How can you maintain your wokeness, in wake of your moral brokeness?

You’re David Leavitt. Shortly after an explosion killed nineteen people at at Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, you tweeted” MULTIPLE CONFIRMED FATALITIES at Manchester Arena. The last time I listened to Ariana Grande I almost died too.” You apologized, but is that enough to save your career?

You’re Jason Whitlock. Charlamagne tha God declared your co-worker, FS1’s Kristine Leahy, as “Donkey of the Day” for playing the victim card when Lavar Ball clapped back at her on The Herd. When you called out Charlamagne, he ethered you and refused to continue the beef unless you lose two-hundred pounds, claiming, “I don’t take fat house slaves with Fedoras seriously”. How do you reclaim your title as the Black Bullshitter of the Woods?

What can Kristine Leahy learn from MMA?

TEACHABLE MOMENT: You’re music label Polyvinyl. Your plans to sell a record from critically acclaimed punk band PWR BTTM were derailed by a swastika and sexual assault allegations. PWR BTTM lost acts and venues on their promotional tour. Their management dropped them. And you posted that you were “ceasing to sell and distribute PWR BTTM’s music”. Are there any lessons to be learned as you process product refunds?

If I Did It: Everybody thinks they’re Conor McGregor

Welcome to If I Did It. The show where we talk about PR kerfluffles from the world of MMA and beyond. This week we ask if everyone in the UFC needs to be Conor McGregor.

Alexei Auld is back with a brand new book available 7 Secret Sources of Inspiration: A Snappy Guide for Creative Procrastinators to grill Eugene S. Robinson (who’s pushing OXBOW’s new record THIN BLACK DUKE) and I, Kid Nate with some PR stumpers from the world of combat sports.

You’re WME-IMG.Last Friday’s UFC Summer Kickoff Press Conference had the faint smell of…red panties, as participants, live and in public, if you will, brawled, bragged, and boasted to become the new Bull of the Woods. Was the beef laden, Conorfication of your brand a good thing?

You’re Luke Rockhold. After telling Dana White to shut his mouth, he told you to get back to modeling and leave the matchmaking to the UFC. Is it time to move on or keep that beef simmering?

You’re CNN. MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski condemned your repeated Kellyanne Conway interviews as “politics porn. You’re just getting your little ratings crack, OK, but it’s disgusting.” Time to tone down or act tone deaf to a prudish hater?

You’re Steve Harvey. You fired all your old Chicago show staff to make way for your new Los Angeles show. An embarrassing dictatorial memo sent to said staffers surfaced a week later. Is it time to make amends lest more leaks follow?

You’re the creators of Pokémon Go. A Russian YouTuber was convicted for “inciting religious hatred” for playing your game. In church. Does your brand demand you stand by your fan?

You’re FBI Director James Comey. President Donald Trump followed up your firing with a threatening tweet. How should you reply, if at all?

You’re Disney. According to the Hollywood Reporter, real life pirates are demanding booty for lest they prematurely release one of your films. Should you stand your ground of be chicken of the sea?

What can Ja Rule learn from MMA?

TEACHABLE MOMENT: You’re President Donald Trump. What can you learn from the spectre of Richard Nixon to avoid your seemingly inevitable impeachment?

If I Did It: Paige Vanzant freelances her own Reebok ad

Welcome to If I Did it, the show where we handle PR kerfluffles from the world of MMA and beyond. This week we look at Paige Vanzant’s self-directed Reebok ad, a problematic Raiders draft pick and the ill-fated Fyre Festival.

Alexei Auld is back with a brand new book available 7 Secret Sources of Inspiration: A Snappy Guide for Creative Procrastinators to grill special guest John S. Nash and myself with some PR stumpers from the world of combat sports.

For the audio only version check us out on SoundCloud and be sure to subscribe to MMA NATION on iTunes and subscribe to MMA Nation on YouTube so you’ll never miss an episode. This week’s kerfuffles include:

You’re Paige Van Zant. Your attempt to sexily promote Reebok, rolling around on the rug, feeling yourself, was dissed and dismissed by your fellow fighters and fans. So you replaced it with a toned down version. Explain your PR change of heart.

You’re WME-IMG. A week after putting the UFC on blast, Raging Al Iaquinta has declared himself as the new UFC President and issued inflammatory tweets to fighters, UFC President Dana White, and Reebok. Are you having a laugh or planning a retaliatory strike?

You’re Carmelo Anthony. According to TMZ Sports, you’re pulling out all the stops to fix your marriage after rumors that you got a stripper pregnant broke it. What is the best PR course to take, live and in public, if you will to once again, be your baby’s Bull of the Woods?

You’re Lonzo Ball. Multiple sports apparel companies are balking on your demand to “partner” with your Big Baller Brand instead of offering a standard endorsement deal. What PR moves do you make to save face?

You’re the Oakland Raiders. You defended drafting rape suspect Gareon Conley in last week’s NFL Draft based on your research. With confusing reports made by his attorney surfacing days later, what additional efforts are you making to protect the shield and your brand?

You’re ESPN. In wake of your firing over one-hundred on and off air employees, fingers are being pointed at politics, Stephen A. Smith, and your major sports deals. What is the best PR course of action for your brand?

You’re a Fyre Festival organizer. Your luxury concert festival is the subject twitter frenzy, outrage , and a one hundred million dollar lawsuit which claims it “was nothing more than a get-rich quick scam from the beginning”. What are your PR options to salvage your reputation from an event that promised Coachella but turned out to be the Hunger Games?

TEACHABLE MOMENT: You’re President Donald J. Trump. What have you learned from your first 100 days in office that future presidents can apply to theirs. And what adjustments, if any, do you plan to make?

If I Did It: Nighty Nitrous Conor

Welcome to If I Did It, the show where we confront PR kerfluffles from the world of MMA and beyond. This week we look at Conor McGregor’s latest antics, Al Iaquinta fights the power plus celebrity and political hijinx.

Alexei Auld is back with a brand new book available 7 Secret Sources of Inspiration: A Snappy Guide for Creative Procrastinators to grill special guest John S. Nash and myself with some PR stumpers from the world of combat sports.

You’re WME-IMG. UFC fighter Al Iaquinta celebrated his victory over Diego Sanchez by tweeting “Hey @UFC go fuck yourself”. He clarified his statement on the MMA Hour, “The whole bonus thing is just ridiculous. The fact that they’re giving $50,000 bonuses, it’s like their little way to control everybody.” What is your best PR reply to his reaction?

You’re Conor McGregor. You wanted the world to know, live and in public, if you will, that you were the Bull of the Woods. Petulantly posturing on the hood of a Rolls Royce you didn’t own. Trashing a hotel room and allegedly leaving behind used canisters of laughing gas AKA hippie crack. With legal action under consideration from both the hotel and car owner, how do you handle these kerfuffles while keeping your sack intact, Mac?

You’re the Madison Club of Coachella Valley. After a stay with you, Drake left a review on Twitter, “The most offensive place I have ever stayed at in my life with staff who pick and choose who they are going to accommodate based on racial profiling” He deleted the tweet after it receive two hundred thousand likes, negative Yelp reviews, and the ire of Twitter. Is it time to Jodeci “Cry For You” since he didn’t do things you want him to?

You’re Hillary Clinton. The new tell-all book SHATTERED: INSIDE HILLARY CLINTON’S DOOMED 2016 CAMPAIGN claims you were the “core problem” of your campaign. Does your reputation demand a reply and if so, why?

TEACHABLE MOMENT: You’re a college campus that received a pro-Trump demonstration permit request. In wake of the Berkeley Riots, what measures are you taking to prevent free speech from erupting into violence?
