Quote "the top guys aren't fighting in the ufc" Dana knew Pride was better in fighters and the way they were treated in Pride. It's funny now how he says anybody who doesn't fight in UFC aren't the top guys .
When he said there was no chance of pride guys coming over, he was basing that on the assumption that if they did, it would be pride sending them.
What ended up happening is that the UFC literally bought pride, and then took the fighters. He didn't lie about shit. My favorite thing about Dana White is that he is no bullshit when he talks, and he just says what he thinks.
oh yea great job talking shit about anything that is in competition with you faggot Dana White. Pride shits all over UFC and it will always have been the best. UFC is a fuckin joke
@thnk4urself word bro,UFC is gay as fuck...put in soccer kicks and stomps and I`ll se wrestling blankets shooting for a takedown!! secondly Dana is a fag with a bitch name,FUCK UFC !!!
@Alos21 haha Dana is a fag name lol. I'm not a huge fan of the soccer kicks but I think they should stand the fighters up much more often. Pride was so much better. they didn't pull this put what ever fight makes the most money bullshit on. If someone is ranked #2 and clearly is the #1 contender, pride gave them the shot, not whoever is the biggest money maker. And these instant rematches gotta go. Controversy is one thing but when it's for a title, it's not right
All this video shows is how fucking honest Dana White is. Most execs talk smack and try to sugar coat what they say whenever they're on camera, whereas Dana gets straight to the point and doesn't bullshit you. He hated the idea of TUF, so what...Reality shows tend to make participants look like fools and Dana didn't want to make a mockery out of the fight game. No one had any idea it would blow up, no one!
@stockmaster1982 Strikeforce has nobody.The best Strikeforce fighters is the ones dumped by the UFC like Daley, Henderson, Pride had some of the best fighters in the world at that time.Like Fedor at his prime when he was actually fighting the best in the world.Henderson held two titles in Pride.Vanderlai, Rampage.Strikeforce is nothing compared to pride back than or UFC today.
Dont get offended if Dana doesnt want someone from Strikeforce because Strikeforce is a minnor league.
@doggydeeds Oh by the way, Jake Shield was from strikeforce
originally, so ur telling me Dana doesn't want anyone from
strikeforce because they're minor league? Wow than
why did they sign Jake Shields? hmm.. according to ur
logic, u told me he doesn't want strikeforce fighters but than why did he sign Jake? Dude ur a failure! Wait wasn't Cain Velasquez originally from Strikeforce?, Wonder why Dana signed him, umm maybe becuz
he eventally becomes champ! And should i even mention
@stockmaster1982 I never said Dana doesnt want Strikeforce fighters.All im saying is Strikeforce only has a couple top level fighters witch makes them irelevent.
How many fucking events UFC has done in LA already? Dana talks shit about fighters he can't have, u can see the tension in him, u can see he doesn't feel at the top like now. He ever gets Fedor, u'll see... will that ever happen? Highly unlikely.
@stockmaster1982 ofcoarse he bullshits thats his job. But i was talking about THIS video, it says proof that dana white is a lyer and i can not find in this video where the proof is that he is lying
Dana is not bad as people try to put him!He actually cares for mma and ufc!Off course he like money but I actualy like his method(3 losts or so and ciao)-its good for Ufc!
TITLE IS TOTAL BULLSHIT!! DANA IS A TRUE ENTREPRENEUR AND LOVES MMA. IF IT WAS NOT FOR HIM I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT MMA!! HE TOOK UFC TO MAIN STREAM AND I'M LOVING IT!!
dana is a girls name .............! hahaha but on a serious note dana white is a wanna be Vince Macmahon .............. he just doesn't know how to pull top players in .....!
So I must say fuck you to davidfatbodyhorner for posting this video. You're taking the words Dana said and trying to twist them into some vile representation of a guy who has put so much effort into his organization. Try listening next time. I'll say again: he said he hated REALITY shows because he thought they were stupid. Listen a little closer and he said he liked the idea because it'll give the outside world an inside look into MMA and what the athletes are really like. Pay attention.
This video proves nothing, and the title is an attempt to sling mud on Dana. The fact of the matter is that Dana admitted he was pissed because he hates reality shows. Now think of reality shows, what comes to mind? Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, The Real World, etc. Taking those shows into consideration and trying to apply MMA to it would make you think at first that it was gonna be a BS show that was a waste of time. If you listen he says after getting the deatils he accepted it.

lol so how the hell is this him getting caught lieing? the title of this video is very misleading. dana white is the man, he has taking ufc to all new heights.
I 'm a big fan of Dana White. but video is old. At time what he was saying was true. and still has truth to it. He wants to see the best fighters fight.
Dana White is the greatest thing to have ever happened to MMA without ufc would have gone under and sowould pride and right now in 2010 all we would have are these little organisations like Strikeforce and W.E.C. We need to cherish Dana while he's here cos after him MMA could look very different.
@El3meister first off dana is just a mouth peice for the fertita bros so quit thinking he made mma what it is, they made ufc what it is. imo mma would be alot better without the strangle hold tactics of the ufc. without the ufc we would be able to see the biggest fights in mma history not the bull shit the ufc is selling you as the biggest fights ever. they are crooked ass business men just looking to take everyones money.
@slimkuttah420 Don't tell me what to think. Clearly Dana is the best thing for mma cos i don't see scott coker and the rest of his strikeforce pricks doing anything for mma except putting on freak show fights. MMA needs money for promoting and marketing for it to spread and reach a bigger audience. Where else would you see the biggest fights without the UFC? I guess we could carry on watching fedor beat unknowns or hope over to dream and watch sakuraba come to the end of his mediocre career?
@El3meister personally i like a freak show fight every now and then. pride had some good ones ala frye vs takayama hell tank abbot was a fuckin freak show in the ufc way back when but you dont remember them days. Im guessing your a wwf fan based on the comments your wrAstlin buddies left on your page and for that you must be a Cock Chestnar fan which equals the biggest freak in mma but i guess thats alright cuz you hug his nuts nice and tight every night. "Don't tell me what to think" are you 12
@djkhaled412 I've followed mma since it began so don't tell me what i think you cunt. I never said the UFC is mma but it has made mma what it is today, they brought mma into the mainstream with The Ultimate Fighter and they do more for the sport than any other promotion does. Has Strikefore been to Abu Dhabi? No. Has Strikeforce been to England? No. Has Strikeforce been to Australia? No. Other promotions ruin mma with freak show fights and stupid entances that lookj like WWE shit.
lol~ Dana is like he's always willing to make the best fights happen and that he was interested in bringing Pride fighters in the UFC. But now that he's the top dog, he doesn't want to copromote with m-1 and bring fedor so that the best fighter "Fedor" can fight in the UFC!
laugh. out. loud.- alright dana hates kimbo so thats a good indication you infact know nothing about him. and its not like dana doesnt want fedor u retard, that wouln't make sense buisness wise or for the product, fedor is managed by stupid russians that are unreasonable. your dumb. so suck on that gay wad
laugh out loud. nigga please~ If dana hated kimbo why the hell did he bring him into the UFC, told everyone how much he respects kimbo slice! Owned> Abernier3 And no i didn't know Fedor is managed by those russian managers that have a contractual disagreement with the UFC! Wow you sure have enlightened me by tellling me something i didn't know! hahaha ~ what a retard! lol~ Abernier3> owned 2nd time! Retard plz~ shut up! lol
@Abernier3 Where the fuck did you get that info from? Fedor is managed by Vadim Finkelchtein of M1 Global who is a founder of Red Devil Sports Club & viewed in Wold MMA arena as the best promoter & manager to work with. Responsible for M1 Challenges & Affliction/M1 Global events. Fedor is also a 20% share holder in M1 Global so why would he become Dana & Lorenzo's bitch for the next 6 fights or at least 4-5 years? Dana is a fucking pussy for not doing a co-promo event. Plain & simple!
@badasz2007 Are you fucking serious? In that very same interview Dana is bitching about Pride FC not wanting to do a co-promo event. And how he send fighters to Japan but Pride FC is not willing to send anyone to USA for Co-Promo event by the way. Back then UFC was way behind Pride FC.
And today UFC has the balls to claim they are the home of the best fighters in the world & not give Fedor non exclusive contract? Pride FC did! Today Fedor is M1 Global & his own brand so Co-Promo is the option.
haha i love it. every single one of you guys heard something dana said about ur favorite fighter and it pissed you off. u pussies take shit to personally. the guy is a genious and a business man plain and simple. anybody who thinks different is jus wrong
And he ain't no genius retard! It wasn't dana white's idea to create the reality show. All he's good at is running his mouth! At this point it doesn't matter who is the president of the UFC, it will be successful! And don't get angry cause i'm bashing dana white! lol~ Since you're complaining ppl are take things to personally so you should have no problem me bashing dana! haha~
you know nothing. i like how you find yourself so funny, its kinda cute. but ya ur a pretty stupid kid, ufc went from being a freakshow to a regulated sport. do a little research to avoid sounding like an idiot chief
the guys a bald headed, hypocrite, for i know! His success wasn't because he's a genius you moron, it's because of the Tuf reality show, that got newbs like you into this sport! Another words, you're a product of TUF reality show! hahaha~
And here you are debating me.. How many times do i have to own you loser?
your very dumb. not only are u ignorant but you take it a step further and r a total douchebag. if you don't think ufc is a well promoted sport ur fucking retarded. look at boxing. politicians called it cock fighting and the sport is still growing. you have a very low IQ and have know idea about marketing a product buutttttt you got that "bald hypocrite" all figured out. get the fuck outta here homo
@stockmaster1982 ....His success is because of the TUF reality show?? and you call this other person a loser...lol...i'm pretty sure he was very successful before the TUF show you dumb ass...lol
@Abernier3 Meanwhile you want to suck him off. The fact is Dana White is completely full of shit and people like you that think whatever he says is truth. He says whatever it takes to promote the UFC so he can make money. It's sad that morons like you idolize his douchebag behavior and think of it as good business. I guess that's the way of the world, the idiots always ruin everything.
@ihateyourstupidass what. the. fuck. are. you. talking. about. "he says whatever it take to promote the ufc (which is his fucking product) so he can make money" THATS THE DEFINITION OF BUSINESS! you literally couldn't have made a worst argument. all you said was blah, blah, blah, i don't like him so he's bad at business. listen i dont know dick about business but i know his product is growing bigger than any other sport...which brings me back to my main point- WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
former PRIDE commentator Frank Trigg said that UFC did send one of there attorneys to try to get a TV deal to keep PRIDE alive. UFC gave up after 6 weeks
Pride FC humiliated and intimidated Dana for these reasons dana never bothered keeping Pride alive once they were bought he just took the best fighters and shut them off..fuck him
dana white is an amazing business man, he took the UFC from extreme debt to an incredible franchise. anyone who says otherwise is a complete idiot and are fully and completely wrong and that is not argueable
LOL...in the space of four years, Dana White ran the UFC into a US$42m hole and the only thing that saved the organisation was the Fertitas plowing ANOTHER US$10m of their own money into producing the reality show, which was their idea, NOT Dana White's.
Dana White ran the UFC into a US$42m hole, before the Fertitas plowed ANOTHER US$10m of their own money into the TUF reality show that Dana White OPPOSED.
The success of the UFC has VERY little to do with Dana White.
@rugbyfan808 yea ur fukin rite but dana has a big mouth for someone who cant compete with someone like tito and another question is do u think dana fucked arrianny for her job and any other ring girls?
LOL...Dana White ran the UFC into a US$42m hole, until the Fertitas ploughed ANOTHER US$10m of their own money into the TUF reality show, which Dana White opposed.
Dana White wanted to do a reality show called 'American Promoter' based on himself.
The Fertitas were going to finlly bankroll it two years ago for SpikeTV, but then the (hugely embarrassing) Loretta Hunt fiasco blew up and they canned it as punishment. In fact, Dana White was lucky not to get fired by Lorenzo.
It's common knowledge. Lorenzo issued a press release outlining how Dana White was severely reprimanded for the Loretta Hunt incident and had his Vlogs removed. A few months later, Lorenzo relented and let White start making Vlogs again.
@rugbyfan808 Actually Tito Ortiz/Ken Shamrock and Stephan Bonnar/Forrest Griffen took the UFC from extreme debt to incredible franchise. Ortiz/Shamrock bought them some time but until the first reality show finale, the UFC (even under Dana White's watch) was bleeding money.
it is smart that Kimbo is in the TUF show....think of how many ppl will either watch Kimbo win or lose..either way it is a smart fuking way to bring more money in...there is alot of Kimbo ball huggers out there that will watch him..Dana dont think Kimbo will do well in the UFC...well if Kimbo wins Dana is a liar but who cares he got his money from kimbo winning and ppl watching TUF...IF kimbo loses who cares Dana gets his money from ppl watching TUF...all about the moeny.
Dana White is admitting that not only did he have NOTHING to do with the reality show concept that saved the UFC from bankruptcy, he was actively OPPOED to it at the time!
It's a bit different from his usual speil of "Fucking fuck I single-handedly came up with the TUF concept which saved the UFC fucking fuck fuck fucky!"
Yeah the ufc doesn't like to see overrated fighters being continuously humiliated like Cro-Cop and Heath Herring without making money on it. They only want the best, not guys who fight cupcakes for 10 years and call themselves "the last emperor", I wonder who I'm talking about
You mean like Pride fighters Anderson, Rampage and Nogeuira, who completely destroyed the UFC paper champion and held 3 of the 5 titles simultaneously?
How about Tim Sylvia being destroyed and humiliated in 0:42sec by Fedor after holding teh UFC title only 4 months earlier???
Don't forget about arlovski he got smoked too. Anderson is the only fighter out of the 3 you mentioned that haven't been KO'd since then. Tim Sylvia's been a joke. I bet Fedor will fight Kimbo next. Whoooo!!
yeah pride was so awesome, How long did cro-cop last? 2 fights? he took his checkered panties and left after gonzaga took his head off with a head kick.
cro-cop had to have a couple surgeries. also, after you lose a couple fights in ufc they have the right to rip up your contract and kick you to the curb. ufc contracts are rediculous, that is why you will never see fedor in ufc unless dana changes his damands or offeres a one fight contract or something like that.

thing is he's no longer willing to do that anymore, now that the UFC is on top!

in the UFC.. Fedor vs CAin (now this is a money fight) But he won't let it happen

Im guessing your a wwf fan based on the comments your wrAstlin buddies left on your page and for that you must be a Cock Chestnar fan which equals the biggest freak in mma but i guess thats alright cuz you hug his nuts nice and tight every night. "Don't tell me what to think" are you 12

@djkhaled412 I've followed mma since it began so don't tell me what i think you cunt. I never said the UFC is mma but it has made mma what it is today, they brought mma into the mainstream with The Ultimate Fighter and they do more for the sport than any other promotion does. Has Strikefore been to Abu Dhabi? No. Has Strikeforce been to England? No. Has Strikeforce been to Australia? No. Other promotions ruin mma with freak show fights and stupid entances that lookj like WWE shit.

lol~ Dana is like he's always willing to make the best fights happen and that he was interested in bringing Pride fighters in the UFC. But now that he's the top dog, he doesn't want to copromote with m-1 and bring fedor so that the best fighter "Fedor" can fight in the UFC!
Man he's so full of shit! lol~ It's so
entertaining listening to him. I wonder
what other things he's gonna say next?
Oh kimbo slice, is a top 10 heavyweight!
hahahahaha~ Dana you're a real hy
stockmaster1982 1 year ago
laugh. out. loud.- alright dana hates kimbo so thats a good indication you infact know nothing about him. and its not like dana doesnt want fedor u retard, that wouln't make sense buisness wise or for the product, fedor is managed by stupid russians that are unreasonable. your dumb. so suck on that gay wad

@Abernier3 Where the fuck did you get that info from? Fedor is managed by Vadim Finkelchtein of M1 Global who is a founder of Red Devil Sports Club & viewed in Wold MMA arena as the best promoter & manager to work with. Responsible for M1 Challenges & Affliction/M1 Global events. Fedor is also a 20% share holder in M1 Global so why would he become Dana & Lorenzo's bitch for the next 6 fights or at least 4-5 years? Dana is a fucking pussy for not doing a co-promo event. Plain & simple!

badasz2007 1 year ago
@badasz2007 Are you fucking serious? In that very same interview Dana is bitching about Pride FC not wanting to do a co-promo event. And how he send fighters to Japan but Pride FC is not willing to send anyone to USA for Co-Promo event by the way. Back then UFC was way behind Pride FC.
And today UFC has the balls to claim they are the home of the best fighters in the world & not give Fedor non exclusive contract? Pride FC did! Today Fedor is M1 Global & his own brand so Co-Promo is the option.

And don't get angry cause i'm bashing dana white! lol~ Since you're complaining ppl are take things to personally so you should have no problem me bashing dana! haha~

@Abernier3 Meanwhile you want to suck him off. The fact is Dana White is completely full of shit and people like you that think whatever he says is truth. He says whatever it takes to promote the UFC so he can make money. It's sad that morons like you idolize his douchebag behavior and think of it as good business. I guess that's the way of the world, the idiots always ruin everything.

@rugbyfan808 It's dana white's passion for the sport, his
belief in the sport, and the help of the reality show that
did the trick. Its' not necessarily his brilliance, if you know
all the facts, you'd agree with me! lol~ Dana is passionate
with a good business, but he's not incredible to the extent
that you think he is. Let's the give the reality show a lil more credit! lol
stockmaster1982 1 year ago
@rugbyfan808 If Dana white was really so incredible like you said he was, he wouldn't have made the comment you see hear in this video, about him not
agreeing with the making of the reality show. He's passionate and really
believed in the sport. That's the reason. You're an idiot if you actually think
it's because he's sooo brilliant! lol

YoungBucksFather 1 year ago
@YoungBucksFather
Dana White wanted to do a reality show called 'American Promoter' based on himself.
The Fertitas were going to finlly bankroll it two years ago for SpikeTV, but then the (hugely embarrassing) Loretta Hunt fiasco blew up and they canned it as punishment. In fact, Dana White was lucky not to get fired by Lorenzo.

@SD78 how u know all these ?

It's common knowledge. Lorenzo issued a press release outlining how Dana White was severely reprimanded for the Loretta Hunt incident and had his Vlogs removed. A few months later, Lorenzo relented and let White start making Vlogs again.

cro-cop had to have a couple surgeries. also, after you lose a couple fights in ufc they have the right to rip up your contract and kick you to the curb. ufc contracts are rediculous, that is why you will never see fedor in ufc unless dana changes his damands or offeres a one fight contract or something like that.
