Welcome to http://BloodyElbow.com's If I Did It, the show where we handle PR kerfluffles from the world of MMA. This week we look at Conor McGregor and Rita Ora's social media scandal, bad reviews for UFC 218 and more. After the show join the MMA Puncholes for If The Shoes Fit for kerfluffles from the world beyond MMA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K43UaX2FKCY
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 me, Kid Nate (who has a new podcast on the history of rock and roll), with some PR stumpers from the world of combat sports.

You’re Conor McGregor. Rita Ora posted photos of you captioned “Date Night”, live and in public, if you will, while your baby mama was allegedly at home… with the baby! How should you handle this kerfuffle?
You’re Dana White. The Detroit Free Press slammed you UFC 218 Detroit event as lacking star power, production value, and entertainment. “Here it is. Dana White, if you’re going to bring a UFC event back to Detroit, you’ve really got to bring it. Come big, or don’t come at all.” Should you respond and or modify your future fights in Detroit?
You’re Reebok. Your fight kit wardrobe malfunction resulted in another embarrassing and unprofessional moment last Saturday night at UFC 218. As a result, the fight was paused, live and in public, if you will, and the footage was deleted from UFC’s Fight Pass. Do you owe the victim Angela Magnana and the UFC an apology?
You’re WME-IMG. The Internet is abuzz about a gamer who got away with illegally Live Streaming UFC 218 by pretending it was EA Sports UFC gameplay. How should you handle this hilarious kerfuffle?
