TOM ATENCIO: "I HAVE NOTHING TO PROVE. I JUST WANT TO DO IT!

[jasjat]

yeah tom sucks who is he anyways come on hes not a real fighter lol

[dude63]

If he sucks..why does he have a million dollar company? He might not bea full time fighter but the guy has fought in the sport he lvoes..and he deserves respect for that....instead of ignorance.

[xkaliber72]

Don King has WAAAYYYY more money than dana white.but that does not mean he can Box!!!

[dude63]

I wasn't saying if you have more money you can fight. I thought I made that pretty obvious I guess not lol.

[xkaliber72]

neither is Dana white!lol

[DMoneyNYG]

tom atencio is a fucking loser- dana white

[ljuarez714]

atencio is very well spoken, articulate and professional whereas Dana White is an arrogant prick that only knows the word F#ck. With that said, I guess that is the skillset needed to be a leader in the industry (White). I guess nice guys do finish last.

[Esetroc2332332]

who cares if dana white curses nd all. he's a real person that just so happens 2 b president of a billion dollar industry.

[secret212000]

Everyone has their own personality, so what if dana swears, he doesn't buy into that media goody-good image, he just makes sure that he keeps putting on good fights, that's all true mma fans should care about. Just because you're articulate doesn't automatically make you smart...Dana keeps propelling the UFC to new levels, while Attencio is out of the fight business...enough said.

[CalmCrazyCoolCamilyn]

wooooooooooooooooooooo CHOC won last night WoOooO THE MAN

[BoxingBadBoy77]

good interview from atencio as quite a few times ive found watching him speak he gives very little away whereas he's more open in this one.

[killeronekill]

im a huge ufc fan but dana does need to get in there and fight cuz he talks to much shit..

back it up dana u loud mouth.....

[MRSMITH213]

THATS WHATS UP

[londonjig]

I thought mma presidents say "F this. and F that" alot

[EvilfuryOWNsYou]

all of you people saying Dana White is a wanna be fighter and that he should be like Tom Atencio and fight in the cage, ring, etc....i lol @ you. UFC didnt get to where it is by doing something like this and they are at the top so why would they NEED or WANT to do something like this? all the other little companies out there wish they had what the UFC does and trust me they wont get it by putting a president of the company in the ring.

[xkaliber72]

then Dana needs to shut his mouth and stay in his lane!!He's an Amatuer boxer!!!!

[WillBackbone]

@xkaliber72 but Dana's created a multi million dollar soon to be billion dollar empire this guy is a peon compared to Dana as a business man. Also Dana is about 198 lbs and would stomp this chump like a bug. Could you imagine what GSP or BJ Penn would do to this rookie, crush him. Dana would stomp his arse in a cakewalk

[xkaliber72]

GSP andPenn are PROS!!!! end of story.Dana is a mouth piece THAT'S IT!HE'S NOT EVEN THE OWNER! he's a figure head for the two Guys who REALLY OWN theUFC brand.and Dana could'nt beat an egg!lol

[WillBackbone]

@xkaliber72 well have you ever met Dana ? I bet you have not. Dana is a lot more than a figure head. He works 19-20 hours a lot of days. You think the UFC just got lucky. Have you ever owned or managed a business ? Dana is the #1 MMA is what it is today and you know it. So what if he has money to back him. Have you ever written a business plan and borrowed $ to start a business, You don't have a clue how to start or run a business. Dana would choke this little man out so would Joe Rogan.

[charcoalmonkey]

Dana is an old man these days. He's been eating cheese cake and cookies. The dude is soft. Maybe he would have had a chance a decade ago.

Besides that, Dana doesn't want to fight!

[ownwaytrini]

@WillBackbone ok so ur sayin that just because dana weighs more, he could crush this "little chump"?? ya ok, so i guess bob sapp should be an undefeated hw champ since he weights more than all his opponents. atencio isnt a pro fighter or anything, and he's no match for pro fighters, but seriously bro get your head outta dana's ass, and quit bein a ufc bitch-boy. dana's a fat fuck. i'm bettin on atencio for that fight.

[mook1982]

fight dana white!!!!

[MirkoMMA]

Mr. Atencio: Go for it! I wish you the best.

[odin422]

Affliction is a joke.

[dadirrtywhyteboi]

I like Tom Atencio and everything but to me this just makes Affliction look now like a bit of a joke when their VP is fighting on another card. It does not make the Affliction brand look strong at all

[rampagesgrill84]

Nobuhiko Takada, the president of Pride FC fought against Kerr, Coleman, CroCop, Sakuraba and Rickson to name a few from the beginning. Did that hurt Pride in getting bigger?

[dadirrtywhyteboi]

no it did not but that was in Japan with Pride where their culture would accept that more so than in North America

[rampagesgrill84]

The fights were fixed and it still not didn't hurt them...

If fights were worked in the US it would definitely hurt. Dana almost had that boxing match with Tito, and if Dana had lost that, would it have hurt the UFC? Don't think so.

Atencio has had 1 fight before and it's imo only positive and shows great courage to step in there in his own promotion. Win or lose, it gives him more credibility since he actually does, not just talk like a wannabe fighter like Dana...

[sinistercharlie]

uhh who?
