What a hypocrite. Dana White gives Forrest Griffin and Brock Lesnar title fights because they bring in more money for the UFC than the next guy, despite neither of them being the one who should've gotten the title fight. Forrest, debatable.
Machida deserved the title fight more, and Lesnar flat-out didn't deserve a title fight. He loses to someone (Mir), wins a meaningless fight, then gets a title fight while Mir has to win a contender match?
i like dana to. but he is ripping the fighters off. 50 to 70 bucks for a pay per view and they sell alot of them and the fighters get paid shit. but he really made the ufc great but now its time to spread the wealth a little.
i enjoy what he said when he was talking like "going to the ground is boring" and telling them to fuck off, but the other stuff i personally think hes full of shit lol, he doesnt care as much as he makes it out to be, if he did the fighters would be getting paid as much as boxers, ufc 100 was like the 4th highest grossing ppv ever? and the main event purse was less than a mil. mayweather vs de la hoya made something around double the ppv amount yet the fighters got tens of mils, weird huh?
Dana did it the right way. He setup bonuses for "fight of the night", "ko of the night" and "sub of the night" etc.. You don't pull each individual fighter aside and tell them their game plan.
I agree that's ridiculous. People were only watching that fight because of Kimbo Slice. Kimbo slice had to win for Elite XC to to survive, and so they tried to fix it so Kimbo would win. And Kimbo lost and Elite XC lost all attention it had ever gained from everybody.
I agree if thats true, but the point is that its not true...this is nonsense...There was nothing about not going to the ground...I dont understand where he heard that???
what the fuck are you talking about, elitexc told seth to keep it standing, in fact Gary Shaw is on record as saying that its not unethical to do this in MMA...when in fact it is...its really like trying to manipulate or control a certain outcome in your favour...like dana said, "that's fucking illegal!" get your facts straight, do some more digging before talking shit.
No they didn't PAY him they didn't made any kind of offer with Seth to stand up... they just TOLD him that it would be more interesting to be more in stand up...
And I am sick of Dana White's hypocrisy because if somebody tells his fighters what to do that's him...there are even bunch of vids on that...
Dana White is someone who is unbelievably ARROGANT, DISRESPECTING AND DISGUSTING, who lies whenever he opens mouth and while something from him MIGHT have sense, its probably just a LIE.
alright man, i just got my info from some newspapers and article, its funny how they all said the same thing, but whatever...and dana doesn't manipulate fights, he encourages fighters to go out and put a great show, he doesn't tell them to specificly do certain things, he knows mma encompasses alot of techniques, not just stand-up.
and dana's personality seems top notch, he's honest and doesn't give into corporate america's goody-good image, he stands his own ground and says what he wants but with substance. he doesn't disrespect his fighters but he disrespects and punks all those cocksuckers who always hate on the sport or the ufc, that's called being a real fucking man...to me it seems like you have a personal problem with him because your comments are baseless.
No you are deadly wrong trust me, that guy is HORRIBLY arrogant liar...probably one of the most corrupted spoiled and double-faced persons you'll ever see.
He bashes EVERYBODY who is not in UFC...but the moment they come in UFC, whether they are super nice, humble and clean as Fedor or some rapers and murderers he will pump them up in the sky, otherwise he'll keep bashing them for no reason
Just look at what his OWN "henchmen" have to say about Dana: watch?v=rCM9HUvGS0s&feature=channel_page
whatever, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, including dana and you...what mma fan honestly gives a damn about what an executive has to say? like seriously, it's pretty trivial if you think about it. if you love the sport you'll only care about what goes down in the octagon, not what goes on outside it...I respect dana because he brings good fights on tv and ppv, and thats that. who cares if he bashes people, he's just that kinda guy....so what! quit whinning and just enjoy the fights.
let's not forget that dana is the one responsible for bringing the ufc from dead near bankruptcy to a business that generated over 275 million just in 2008, and in turn that has made the ufc fighters extremely comfortable and the top fighters fairly wealthy. its easy for you to sit back and talk shit about dana cuz you dont know the amount of work he's done to bring the sport to your television.
He did absolutely nothing more than any other manager...its just called USA...USA its all about fame and money(which is BAD and SAD, no offense to all americans), so things spread very quickly thanks to comercialization and US media, not thanks to Dana.
I bet that Joe Rogan dude have done more for UFC and attracted much more people with his colorful descriptions of fighters and fights than Dana ever will....
Dana is arrogant disrespecting liar and I hate him.
despite your personal hatred for dana the facts still are that he brought the ufc from nothing to bigtime under his management , no one with any common sense can argue with that. I think you need to properly understand the commerce world, its HARSH, people are ruthless because they want to be on top, dana's just fighting fire with fire. as for joe rogan, he attracts alot of fans to the sport because of his advanced technical knowledge of mma...plus he's a funny mutha****
that's other people, you cant expect everyone to be all nice and goody-good like you, its not an excuse, it's reality...live with it
do you have any idea how much dana still has to fight for sanctions in the states????...the opposition from politicians and many other people who have the power the expand this sport is just ridiculous...the only thing carrying this sport is the fans, US propaganda is what's trying to crush it... you have no idea what your talking about...i'm done here
Nobody seeks from them to be goody good super nice or such, just FAIR....just damn fair and responsible...not liars and deceivers...
SOME of US propaganda might want to crush it, but other half(actually majority) s just watching the use of it, and advertise it as the part of the profit will go into their pocket...
Well I'm glad if it helped your blog, but Dana White was always for me a symbol of corruption and lies, and its shocking when I see people endorse it and excuse it "its a business!"
If I ever had a child(read - if I ever become crazy enough to do something as crazy as that in this disgusting world of today) and when the time comes for me to give to my child an example of an evil human being, Dana White will be PERFECT example.
In this case I respect Dana white

Funny how many other people can live nicely yet they don't have to be harsh and ruthless...
thats just excuse NOTHING ELSE.
Dana white himself did nothing, but US propaganda and the commercialization is what pretty much raise anything from dust to its peek.
Like I said Joe Rogan did much more alongside fighters themselves...
I mean did you hear what Joe Rogan himself has to say on Dana and his opinion on Fedor?
