Dana White interview UFC 67 on Crocop

[FFVII1992]

cro cop would have lost if he fought couture back in the day (just my opinion) but now we will never know, lets see how cro cop handles big country

[kurtsloane]

@FFVII1992, are you serious?

[FFVII1992]

@kurtsloane ...yeah im dead serious

[baxter465]

Wow its interesting to see dana white a few years back being more reserved as oppose to the take no prisoners new dana

I guess you work hard to earn the right to take no prisoners

[southernprep5]

What was to mad about after that card? I thought that was a good card myself. Alot of finishes in fights. Rampage is a beast. Cote was never that good though. What is dana mad about?

[warmachine0187]

you are right, Dana is a douche he should kust get out of MMA completely especially since he helped build the worlds greatest MMA venue and bring in the worlds greatest fighters at a constant seed I am going to be a fighter

[crowofdeath2]

no your not

[warmachine0187]

come fight me

Im not one of those pussys that sits online all day and posts about how such and such is bs they would have blah blah blah I have been training for just over 6 months at a small gym in north branch, MN. Come along for a sparring session if you like

[crowofdeath2]

sorry man i dont live there...6 months well the first year is the hardest after that its easy really...so keep up the work and i hope to see you on tv one day im not trying to be a dream smasher..its just that i have been training for a little over 15 years and haven't got there haha wish i could come down and sparr a bit that would be cool

[PRIDEFC17]

wait you have been training for 15 year? how come you're not a pro MMA fighter?

[crowofdeath2]

theres people that have done trained for 40+ years and arnt pro fighters but i would like to become one some time soon haha

[PRIDEFC17]

nigga you should be you in like Affliction or something youve been doing martial arts or mixed for 15 years. hey you got one random dudes support of going pro. we both have the same dream i know maybe like 5 % of martial arts but someday i want to become just as famous as Shogun or Mirko Cro-Cop or Fedor.

[crowofdeath2]

yeah for sure im going to fight for Ultimate Combat Experience here in utah in not too long i hope you pass up all of thos fighters man and ill be seein you at the top :)

[PRIDEFC17]

thats cool dude isnt that like the first mma organization before UFC. i want to start training MMA soon at this age of 17. and its cool that your starting small like every mma fighter. hope to see you up top soon

[BlackstarSirius]

What are you trying to say? Your comment is so schizophrenic and poorly punctuated I like turtles.

[Loomr]

So dana & co picked a smaller opponent for Rampage to slam around, and a slow brawler for mirko to deliver that head kick .. and dana was dissapointed none of that happened even though they both won. Typical ^^

I guess now a days Dana doesn't sound as dissapointed even when his plans fail

[fwdyd]

what happened in the cote fight?

[1000Demons]

I agree with KingCrimson, too! :D

That aside, I still think Cro-Cop's a great fighter.

In fact, I'd like to see Cro-Cop VERSUS Dana.

[TGVGangster]

LMAO!!!

kingcrimson i agree on that one

[drkthms1]

crocop is still great

[kingcrimson234]

lol. i can guess dana's though process immediately after gonzaga KTFO cro cop.

"oh shit this can't be happening i paid that fucker so much money!"

"wait a minute, now we have the guy who just KTFO cro cop. sweet!"

then dana after gabriel loses to randy:

"GODDAMMIT"

[skylerm420]

then lesnar destroyed coture lol

[alfaandomega11]

@kingcrimson234 hahahhaa

[chrismortimer6]

The UFC has gone crap to many rules, it used to be no holds barred,

now all the champions are fake.

MMA is the death of the TRUE Ultimate Fighter.

NHB=No Holds Bared is the ONLY way to have a competition on fighting. MMA

is not and will never be close to fighting.

If your to pussy to take being butted in the face, kicked in the head

when your on the floor, or hit in the kidneys etc, don't fight you obviously

are just a paper tiger!!!

[Splinterx92]

wow dana says that cro cops the best in the world and he find a way to work around it.sounds like he just wanna get rid of him.he doesnt even like rampage either cause he beat liddel.i bet he was pro henderson the whole fight.shows how dana feels about pride fighters.(hendorson i consider a ufc fighter since he was there near the begining of his career)

[Cancun187]

Fuck dana white. He kisses chucks ass so much I can't tell where one starts and the other ends. He doesn't like Pride fighters. I saw a clip of him talking shit about Pride's management. Fuck this idiot.

[ilovesilvia69]

you're lost

[alicongo]

cro cop is shit!

[Zoooood]

you are shit!! dumbass!!

[Cancun187]

Let me guess, you're either an MMA noob, or a UFC only fan.

[wwesuxknob]

took cracked ribs and fucked up nose for him to loose to gonzaga plus 4 knees to the balls from congo. so why dont you take 4 knees while having a nose injury and cracked ribs and try and knock some 1 out and push the pace but in cro cops next fight he is gona be back to normal he just got his nose fixed and ribs and shogun also needed surgeory but he had to fight anyway

[JD12111211]

Seriously, I wonder how these fighters from Japan are being treated behind the scenes...:/

[UnseenShadow81]

you're funny!

[kerrvida]

crocop gets nervous in front of the media

[kilrkane]

dana white sucks big time.i got banned on shrdog for bashing him.that means shrdog is a bunch of dana white goons.

[ravi18364]

people who think that MMA comes illegal are people who get there ass kicked in school or when they were in school fucking phussies.

[darkisland]

your a fucking idiot. MMA has nothing to do with street fighting.

I think it should be legalized too, but I still think YOUR a fucking douchbag. "people who get there ass kicked in school or when they were in school fucking phussies." You must be a smart one! Retard.

I hate people who compare my sport with street fighting. Grow the fuck up.

[s00nertp]

All i want is to have PRIDE fighters fight in UFC. If they kick everyone's a** that just exciting. Give them the chance though. also get rid of stupid elbows, and allow knees to 3 pts and ground kick to head.

[DancingSpiderman]

Seems that the Pride fighters aren't matching up too well against their UFC opponents.

Can't wait to see Fedor fight somebody from UFC.

[Cancun187]

Thank that fuckin idiot dana for not giving Pride fighters any warm up bouts. If UFC fighters went to Pride, they'd get their asses handed to them too.

[CaseFiji]

Unfortunately, the ufc isn't saturated with a bunch of home-grown asian half-asses like Pride was, therefore, the warm-up fights these guys WERE given may not seem acceptable to most Pride homers.

[Cancun187]

The UFC is saturated with a bunch of home-grown american half-ass fighters. Don't be an ignorant newbie. UFC fighters would have just as much trouble in the ring as Pride fighters are having in the octagon. (with the acception of a few).

[ilovesilvia69]

dude ufc fighters did go to pride..chuck went to pride 3 times and knocked out the 2 guys who were supposed to kick his ass lol

[Cancun187]

"knocked out the 2 guys who were supposed to kick his ass"

Yeah, he did his usual routine of running away and waiting for the other guy to gas out. Then he got his ass kicked by Rampage, lol. Had Guy Mezger not gassed out (not chased him), he could have easily beaten chuck the same way Jardine did.

[ilovesilvia69]

you're blind and jealous of chucky. it's sad. lol he knocked mezger the fuck OUT not a tko but fucking drooling on him self. lol same with overeem.

[Cancun187]

"you're blind and jealous of chucky"

The only one blinded by "chucky" is you, blinded by his semen in your eyes, nutt-hugger.

"lol he knocked mezger the fuck OUT not a tko but fucking drooling on him self"

lol, the same way he got KTFO by Rampage. He couldn't even beat Jardine, and he was in his prime. Stick his dick back in your mouth and shut up noob.

[ilovesilvia69]

you're a broken record. a carbon copy. you are officially labeled as a Pride fan boy. now get back to wearing your wand shorts and lubing your self up and dancing in front of your mirror. lol

[Cancun187]

"you're a broken record. a carbon copy"

Shut the fuck up you liddell/dana/ufc cock-holster. Get back to nutt-hugging quietly. Loser.

[ilovesilvia69]

you're just mad that chucky whooped ur boy's asses in your homo turf. you hug the nuts of EVERYONE from pride guaranteed.

[Cancun187]

"you're just mad that chucky whooped ur boy's asses"

I don't remember him beating Fedor or Crocop, only Mezger and Overeem.

"you hug the nuts of EVERYONE from pride guaranteed"

Typical net-geek/virgin, all you faggots can do is take comments I've already said to you and fag them up. Get lost kid, I don't have time to deal with a liddell/dana white cock-sucker.

[ilovesilvia69]

um durrr fedor and cro cop are heavyweights newb. net-geek/virgin? lol virgin? dude im 20 years old anybody who's a virgin at 20 should just come out of the closet. lol get back to hugging everyone from Prides nuts no matter who they are.

[Cancun187]

"um durrr fedor and cro cop are heavyweights newb"

No shit moron. Learn to read before you make idiotic remarks and embarrass yourself further, jack-ass.

"dude im 20 years old anybody who's a virgin at 20 should just come out of the closet"

So you're coming out of the closet. What the fuck makes you think I give a fuck faggot.

"lol get back to hugging everyone from Prides nuts no matter who they are"

Just shows how deep-throating liddell/white has left you with brain damage from lack of oxygen.

[ilovesilvia69]

quit talking about deep throating you fag. save that for your gay chat. get back to hugging any one from Prides nuts, no matter who they are.

[Cancun187]

"quit talking about deep throating you fag"

It's funny how you only remember the "deep-throating" part of the post, fuckin faggot.

"get back to hugging any one from Prides nuts"

Moron, your ignorance disgusts me. Don't waste my time anymore with your bullshit, stupid kid.

[ilovesilvia69]

It's funny how you're still talking about deepthroating, faggggg. hahah. Get a life, fag/fan boy.

[Cancun187]

Get lost faggot.

[ilovesilvia69]

Don't u have a ball sach to be dangling from? Get a life.

[Cancun187]

Get off my nutts bitch.

[ilovesilvia69]

Quit talking about nuts and leave me alone. It's getting old.

[Cancun187]

Stick their dicks back in your mouth and shut the fuck up amateur.

[saweet999]

i hope mma becomes illigal haha

[jibourne]

why

[ALCAJOLIC]

fuck you!!!

[SirMicDre]

Dana is a Deuche that is all angry that he can't own all of these great fighters...wake up call Diana, Cro cop acquired his notoreity and fan base through his hard work, not from a shady manager dick from Boston!!!

[1234qwerazsxdc]

in response to muskwanimoosh

it cant be in toronto because mma is banned in ontario

[strangelybrown2003]

he talks to the croatian media and news though

[noel12th]

crocop doesnt like all the media and crap a ufc fighter has to do for the media.

[niggatities]

mirko doesnt' like all this media taking pictures crap. hes just there to fight. he dont' care about sponsors and wat type of energy drink he drinks. hahaha.

[muskwanimoosh]

Definitly. Toronto perhaps?

[mattarmdrandall]

wont be in ontario mma is illegal in ontario.. stupidest bullshit i've ever heard

[Velikahrvatska01]

Guy coture came out of retirment and he is trying to beat cro cop not a chance budy especialy against a #2 fighter in the world

[birko1]

eddysacat you have to be taking the piss,clearly you are or otherwise quite possibly the biggest idiot i'd love to meet....oh also deffinatly a fag

[eddysacat]

I've been in a few bar fights and road rage incidents... so I know what I'm talking about when I say that Couture has a chance against Crocop.

[clumz425]

eddy you fuckin moron are you comparing yourself to the best fighters in the world and just because you been in a "few bar fights" you think you know what its like to fight against the #2 fighter int he world. You're a fucking moron seriously, a classic example of igorance and stupidity with a red neck twist. fuckin moron..

[eddysacat]

Clumz425...you better pray that I never run into you at the bar because I've watched the Bas Rutten video on how to fight in a bar. Trust me...you don't want a piece of me. Also, I can easily bench press 100 pounds.

[6ftunderVids]

HAHAHAHA bro your histerical

[eddysacat]

Thanks for the support. I meant the post to be funny but the first response took it serious. How could anyone take that serious...is beyond me. On a serious note, Crocop and his kicks are scary!

[snuffle1]

You got it backwards, hes left footed.

[cpilfold420]

hes a south paw u fucking moron

[thunderlips404]

sylvia is a bitch

[moviefob]

when you see cro cop fighting look into his eyes...look how he is fearles....no traning and no "wrestling ability" can train that look...that is something you can not learn...you get that when you are from croatia...pure animal...

[dowdjr]

And chadiosantos, don't even mention Wanderlei's fights in the UFC. First, he was barely 20 years old at the time and second, he lost a bullshit decision to Tito that shouldve gone to Silva. If you're gonna bring that up, I could just say that Liddell came over to PRIDE and got absolutely dismantled by Rampage who then went on to get destroyed by Wanderlei. But I don't go on and say that Wanderlei would kill Chuck cus of that fight. It doesn't work that way. You guys are fucking noobs.

[dowdjr]

paulmauls you are an idiot. I have great respect for Randy. He is 1 of my favorite fighters, but he himself admitted that PRIDE has more talented fighters. And what about what Randleman did to Crocop? Are you saying that is what Randy is gonna do? Randleman is the most explosive fighter in MMA, he has a chance to KTFO of anyone he faces based on his strength and explosiveness alone. Couture is hands down a better all around fighter than Randleman but he has nowhere near the explosive power.

[mrh2004m]

Dana White is an asshole

[zakkrick]

agree

[liddell48]

hey paulmauls are u insane couture doesnt stand a chance agaisnt Cro Cop cro cop will eat him alive couture is not even close to his level and im not saying that you said that couture can beta fedor that is someone couture would get beta in the 1st minute of the fight Cro cop rules Mirko Cro Cop the next UFC champ :D

[chadiosantos]

brah..you guys are all saying that pride fighters would kill ufc fighters...look at wanderlei hes probably the top fighter in pride and every showing on the ufc he got his ass handed to him...im not saying that hes a bad fighter cause hes one of my favorites..its just people need to give respect...cause the ufc has someof the top fighters in the world..

[kingofalberta]

Second, the refs in PRIDE wont let fighters be boring. They hand out "yellow cards" just like in football/soccer. Not for rules being broken, but for being boring. If you wanna cuddle up with another guy once your all sweaty like you do in the UFC, you get carded. PRIDE=fights UFC=hollywood. Hey hollywood, didnt they make a movie called "brokeback mountain"? Ok good point  UFC=brokeback

[paulmauls]

After Couture handles crocop, we'll see what you all have to say about the UFC fighters. Of course then you'll all be saying how fedor will kill Couture. YOu fucks will never give Couture any credit, will you?

[odiriuss]

you must be insane...Couture is going to get killed literally if he steps into the ring with Crocop...CC is on a much higher level then Couture could ever be...

[paulmauls]

Really? Well just remember that Couture wasn't supposed to win pretty much any of his big fights and he did. Face it, the guy has incredible wrestling ability and strengh and almost always figures out a way to win against all odds. Don't be surprised when he beats crocops ass. Shit, he handled Sylvia like nobody else could right? We'll see...we'll see... Oh and remember Randleman did to crocop? Hhhmmm???

[odiriuss]

you obviously know jack shit about mma...incredible wrestling ability??i'll bet my right freaking hand that he won't be able to take CC down to the floor the whole fight...meaning the first round cause he's gonna get knocked the fuck out...i love you UFC fans who no nothing about pride,dude most of the good heavyweights in pride would eat Couture like he was a baby,and CC is on such a higher level that it's gonna be an onslaught ...

[cpilfold420]

well couture could take chuck down when they fought

im a crocop fan but i believe couture has a punchers chance against crocop fedor can take crocop down and hes not a wrestler sure hes one of the best sambo guys in the world but hes not a world class wrestler i believe randy will get him down but he wont be able to do much to him once hes on the ground and possibly the fight will get stood up if they are not biased like the sylvia fight

[kingofalberta]

Pride fans dont have to boo. One, because they have repect for the fighter in front of them, and not the actors that fight in the U.S.

[kingofalberta]

You wanna watch guys workout? You wanna watch hollywood scripts? Watch UFC. If you want FIGHTS, watch PRIDE. Its that simple.

[ug0tpwned]

Yeah I agree. UFC is not what it used to be, its all a big popularity contest now.

[lowlives]

ARLOVSKI.

[StinkyNuggets]

fedor is champ and respected

cc could be champ is respected

i love them both

rematch of alltime

[sharpjaws]

OMG NEXT FIGHT IN ENGLAND!!!

[SunnyCool]

if CroCop is Heavyweight - Sylvia is done. If CroCop goes Light Heavy - Liddel (I think) is done. :D

[hotrodandy]

Mirco Cro Cop is the top of the food chain, on any given day he could whip just about anyone on this planet. Dana needs to quit putting bums in front of this man or he may just kill someone in the ring. Chuck liddell should man up and meet Mirco at 210-215. Mirco would probably fight him at any weight, but he walks around at 220 just like Liddell so why not. Lets let the best 200 lbs + fighters in the world duke it out for the fans. The people who pay there bills! Lets get it on!

[idin87]

fedor is the top of the food chain, PERIOD!

[fewpac]

i also like cro cop, he is certainly at the upper end of the food chain but Fedor is on "top" of it for obvious reasons.

[dxl7]

dana is such a gimp! Mirko go back to PRIDE where you are apreciated for the talent you are...and so we can see cro cop fedor 2

[badblueboy1986]

no one told him about press conference...idiots...

[bigdip911]

cro cop said he didnt know about the press confrence and he would have been glad to go if he was told about it

[bigwl3]

Dana needs to stop trying to build anticipation and start putting together real compettition: Rampage vs. Ortiz, Hughes vs. Sanchez, Cro Cop vs. Sylvia/Arlovski, Evans vs. Griffin, Silva vs. Swick (so swick will get his ass kicked) Liddell needs to move to heavyweight and fight cro cop and Arlovski once Sylvia is kicked into retirement.

[jrodriguez79]

I couldnt agree with you more!

[BuckMeHoff]

I agree , stop protecting your cream Dana ! St. Pierre fighting Serra , Hughes fighting Lytle is an insult to the fans and thats just the WW's . The most stacked division with a ton of big fights ready to happen . Sanchez fighting koschek with the winner fighting Karo and that fighter fighting the St. Pierre after he destroys Serra and then Hughes .

[bigwl3]

What was wrong with the cote fight? I didn't get to see it.

[Cube432]

Nothing. Cote fought a smart fight. He had Smith rattled a number of times but didn't commit himself for fear of getting KOed like Pete Sells. And the drunk UFC spectators started booing, as is there inclination whenever there isn't non-stop action. I'm guessing Dana was referring to this.

[blacksocko]

What kind of a fighter fights to not lose?? I guess there fighting for money so dignity is not an issue but it did disappoint me when i saw Cote making proud gestures and clapping his hands like he KOd the guy or something. He was happy because he got the W.

[shock80ey]

I don't know but maybe since CroCop is so big he doesnt care about anything. Guys want to make a name for themselves so bad in the UFC they will do anything for Dana, either CroCop knows this or like it has been said before he is very busy with the parlament thing.

[rafomagus]

dana has a lot of talent ,new talent on his hands right know.he just needs to adjust to the personalitys of these new guys,and everything will be cool. and it will make for a much better ufc.

[jonjon2ex]

Ha ha!! Pride theme song.. that was awesome! i think its just to push UFC into giving him a much tougher opponent. Oh and i agree.. from the interviews that i have seen. Crocop doesnt seem happy with UFC for some reason. Maybe, cause Dana's dumb ass compared him to Chuck Liddell.. ha ha!!

[pjicleanair]

yes i agree that was basically slander..saying he is the heavy weight chuck liddel..mirko would annihalate chuck in light heavy weight chuck walks around about 220-225..he cuts down to 205 mirko walks around a natural 220

[shock80ey]

Thats a fact is it...you know both those guys personaly?

[tillerbear]

It will be a good thing when Cro Cop destroys Tim Silvia.

[Barbon34]

Cro Cop kicks ass and takes names. He writes these names in a book inside his head, He need not discuss this book nor' anything else.

[jjmen]

this cracks me up dana is soo pissed. when i rented the ppv me and my friends cracked up when mirko came out with the pride theme music for his intro, u can tell he doesnt like the ufc

[zakkrick]

hey is that true, that mirko used the pride theme song. Hey dude i went to the ufc in sacramento CA about a few months ago, just to tell you it was kind of boring going from the opening and through most of the fights.

[jrodriguez79]

Dana White is a piece of shit! Cro Cop is a fighter not a press monkey. You want a marketable persolality go get a job with american idol you asshole. Dana white is going to ruin MMA! CroCop was more than likley pissed that Dana put him in the ring with a retard who couldnt fight back.

[trinthakias]

calm down bitch

[Slamnbam88]

its apart of the business...look at tyson even he delt with the press which he hated...at least mirko is calm enough to just walk away

[DeFiLeRs]

dana looks upset, dont mess with crocop anyway dana he will kick you in the face

[knoodlez]

Cro Cop is god.
