stockmaster1982 needs to fuck off & die. I see that moron on damn near every single MMA video hating on Dana White, hating on the UFC, hating on the best fighter ever Anderson Silva... go suck Fedor's dick some more stockmaster. Stop living in a fantasy world & step into reality you dumb fuck.
@Number1HB I didnt read into your comment enough then. I hate Rome and his gimmick. I didnt know if Rome was talking shit about the UFC on his show or if you just wanted Rome to say all that.
I agree with the highest rated comments here. Yeah Dana maybe greedy, and not treat fighters right, ect ect. But he made the UFC much better. And he tells it how it is. I like that. I hate people who have no balls and always say what the media wants to hear
per second? what are you smokin? the upper level guys make more money than me true, but i make more money than the majority of the guys in the UFC, and yes, i checked. do they make more than me in one night? absolutly, i dont make that much in one night, over a year, i make alot more than them.
if it wasnt for dana we wouldnt have shit to watch when it comes to a combat sport because obviously boxing isnt that exciting anymore and wrestling is for little 5 year old kids now so thank you dana you're the fuckin man!!!!!!!
you just got absolutely fucking demolished in this thread. Ragin threw 8 no hit innings and Trep came in and slammed the door on your ass. I can't make it any clearer than that. You should realize by now that you haven't even presented an argument, let alone a rebuttal. Good night and thanks for playing, better luck next time kiddo.
I would watch UFC over golf, baseball, ice hockey, badminton and a lot of other "mainstream" sports...It's entertaining - and that's what makes it watchable, as opposed to other sports...
everyone can relate to wanting to fight people. A nerdy kid that gets picked on by jocks wont like to watch football, but he will understand wanting to kick someones ass, and will therefore be more likely to watch mma in my opinion
These guys who fall for Dana's the average guy who likes a fight" image are being fooled. UFC make around $15 m plus per fight, sometimes much more, yet fighters are paid little more than $800,000 per evening for the whole card. UFC exploits these fighters and it is wrong.
@warriorprince1010 Youre missing the big picture though. UFC PPVs are seen by hundreds of millions of people. These guys make mad money through sponsors, endorsements, etc as well as a paycheck per fight that most of us dont see in a year of working 40 hour weeks. The big guys in the UFC also make crazy amounts of cash.
@warriorprince1010 The undercard guys make more for one fight than you would make in a year. Youre points a little off considering these guys are in the UFC for face time as well as fighting top opponents and paychecks.
@warriorprince1010 And Tiger is worth nearly a billion dollars :) Thats A LOT of show ups...
$40K, plus any fight bonuses, All those sponsors shown on the fighters trunks and behind them when theyre being announced are paying the UFC and not the fighter? Supplements, Tapout and other clothing companies also have many fighters on their payroll.
I get that youre bitter with the UFC and Dana White for whatever reason but the UFC is above and beyond every other MMA promotion.
@ragincaucasian319 Pay per view and gate receipts of UFC...around $15 million average lets say, probably much more. The fighter gets $40,000, that is exploitation.
Youre complaining about $40K in one night? Lower tier fighters make $40K, big names make big money. Dana and Co are also puting their bankrolls on the line, the fighters dont have to worry about licensing, promoting events, etc. There was a time when the UFC was $44 million in debt. So because theyre successful now they should be punished? You have no clue how business is done or what it costs to run a promotion. Just ask Affliction, Pride, M1 or Strikeforce how hard it is to make a buck in MMA.
I forgot to mention Elite XC and the IFL too... Im sure im still leaving out a few too. Keep your opinion, but are there any fighters bitching about their paycheck in the UFC? I dont know any but if there are they can fight in Dream or Strikeforce and worry if their paychecks will cash.
@warriorprince1010 What are you talking about? I said theyre free to leave if theyre not happy. Most contracts are only for a couple fights. If theyre not making a whole lot theyre probably not that good anyways and Dana would cut them if they asked.
Carwin was complaining after getting a title shot and lost? He would have gotten $80K if he had any cardio at all. 6 of the fighters made near or over $100 grand. Not a bad nights pay.
@warriorprince1010 Your name has warrior in it... Your nonsense is boring me and your point makes no sense. ive made so many valid points that its clear to me youre either stupid or bored and looking for someone to talk to.
@warriorprince1010 What are you, some kid whos told in school that businesses and profit is bad?
Rich guys dont rip us off, they give us some sort of service or entertainment at a price that the market decides. I love rich business owners and the products they give us. I love watching UFC PPVs and chip in with my friends to watch them. $10 for a PPV, all you can eat pizza, wings and beer and 4 hours of fights
Are you even listening to what youre saying? Every comment is dumber than the last.
@ragincaucasian319 I am against exploitation. You are clearly against fighters being paid what their worth is. You watch the fighters not Dana. Dana does not risk his life. UFC exploit their fighters, no further excuses.
@warriorprince1010 You're a little out of your element, here. Fighters these days (as in post-2007 UFC) are getting paid much more than they used to.

Nobody's being exploited. The UFC has given opportunities to no-name fighters to become athletic superstars. Figure your game out, warriorprincess.
@Trepanation21 You are way out of your element dude, an a troll. UFC makes over $50m a event and pay all their fighters together around $1m of that. Exploitation at its worst.
@warriorprince1010 Firstly, don't be dense. Nothing I said was a troll, and I directly contributed to the discussion. Secondly, you're acting as if they're living on the poverty level with your passionate and liberal use of the word "exploitation". Keep in mind that the figures listed don't include additional compensation from sponsorships, undisclosed "locker room" bonuses, or cuts of the pay-per-view revenue that some UFC stars have in their contracts.
@Trepanation21 With my previous comment, we find that at UFC 118, a defeated BJ Penn earned $150,000 just from the fight contract (he lost). Randy Couture's contract (alone) netted him $250,000. You're telling me a BONUS of $60k-80k is underpaid? The only fighters not making some fuckin' BANK are like the prelim new guys, that are making about $10k, give or take a few grand. And rightfully so, they're not the performers that people are paying $50-$2000 to see (PPV or Attendance).
@warriorprince1010 These guys are making more money per SECOND than you or I comparitively make in weeks, like many have said. Look at all the comments! You're apparently alone in this notion that UFC fighters are being exploited. Rich Franklin even said in an interview when asked what his salary was, that he could sit around grading math papers for highschool kids, or he could be a professional athlete in a sport he loves, making more money in a single fight than he would in a year otherwise.
@kinggunner69 MMA rankings all have Brock in the top 3. Why cant you people admit hes an elite wrestler, physical freak and an up and coming star.
Brock isnt all the UFC has to offer either. Theres Carwin, Valasquez, Mir, JDS and Big Nog that all rank in the top 10 higher than Werdum. Werdum was cut by the UFC because he went 2-2 and sucked.
Besides Jake Shields, the UFC owns almost everybody in every division.
While I actually like Dana, he's really just a politician. When Shogun lost to Forrest Dana said Pride fighters were overrated. Then he claimed Shogun suffered from ring rust when Shogun started coming back.
When he bags on Fedor it's cause he doesn't fight 3 times a year....disconnect anyone?
Dana White is a cheat and a liar and will never change.Look at what he did to the W.E.C Fights use to be for free now this prick has come and swindled this organization the president of W.E.C is a coward too for letting this parasite take over.
Dana can't control the popular fighters too many are leaving and for his show TUF he got two loser to coach he isn't hungry anymore the quality shows.Fuck the UFC and WEC but i'm still MMA.
Dana is the type of guy that you either love or hate, and I'm on the side that thinks he's fucking awesome. I'm not trying to be a nuthugger, but this guy has really taken mma to another level.
@swordsplayer04 I dont love or hate him. I am right in the middle and in the moment with Dana. He makes a dumb comment, then I am all over him. If he makes a good point, then I tell everyone to listen to what he said. This interview was spot on, so I root for Dana. I know he is a polarizing figure, very controversial. That is because he double talks, he will say rough things about a guy then the guy makes him money and he flips the script. He took UFC marketing to another level, made MMA soft.
@swordsplayer04 IMO "type of guy who you either love or hate"- is just an excuse to say for someone that he is jerk.
Whether people love him or hate him depends both on THEM and on Dana White, not only on Dana White.
IMO Dana is the most two-faced, self-contradicting, hypocritical, absurd, ridiculous, pathetic, disgusting, spoiled liar and rotten human soul that has ever walked the planet earth, and I think its just TOO obvious but some people intentionally close their eyes for some reason.
@bfmyac 1.No kind of success should ever justify immoral (Dana White does all in a immoral corrupted, insulting, disrespectful, unprofessional, arrogant and hypocritical way).
2.But he didn't bring any success nor he "saved" MMA? Based on what do you conclude this please?
How come many of us fans believe he actually ruined MMA!
Only thing he brought to MMA is swearing, disrespect, unprofessionalism, hypocricy, duplicity, lies etc.
Its so sad to see many people endorse his disgusting behavior.
@VEGETADTX I don't necessarily "endorse" is behavior, but if it wasn't for him getting the Fertitta's to purchase the UFC, and for him cleaning up the sport we would not be where we are today.
No, stomps!! no knees to the downed opponent etc etc...All of that was in past in MMA now its gone.
Fighters mentality - instead of being respectful and professional like Fedor, Crocop, Fujita, etc...Fighters today are more and more like Sonnen and Lesnar thanks to Dana. "Great example" for kids really.
Sport being more famous is not improvement for me, I don't care about how popular it is, I care how quality is it.
@VEGETADTX As cool a it was to watch the stomps, it definitely didn't help the sport, the soccer kicks made it look much more barbaric, and would have made it nearly impossible to break mainstream with rules like that. Don't get me wrong it was cool, but it's not what the sport needs to become recognized as a professional sport just like any other. I understand about you care about quality, but the UFC must cater to mainstream fans, not the hardcores like us, in order to become bigger.
"UFC must cater to mainstream fans, not the hardcores like us, in order to become bigger."
In order to become bigger? But what that means to you!? Why care if its big or not?
Why would that make you happy...who cares about fame seriously...its about quality.
I am not a fan of MMA because I like listening to Dana's ridiculous self-contradicting, two-faced speeches, I am fan a of MMA because I like to watch fights. As simple as that.
@VEGETADTX I don't think you understand, I'd love for the UFC to do everything for the hardcore fans, but it will die down eventually, they have to do what will make the company "bigger". Because in the end of the day, they're not doing this to make you happy, this is their job, so you can't expect Dana to be the way YOU want him to be and he won't treat his company the way YOU want to. It's all about money, I know, seems unfair, but it's a money game. As simple as that.
@bfmyac I don't think MMA would ever die just because UFC wasn't strong.
As for Dana, I don't want him to do what I want, I want him to be moral and honest...not a disgusting shameless pathological liar, who even betrays his own grandmother at her death and his own mother who gave him everything he has including his career.
I'm sorry sport is sport but moral is moral...I don't care how talented/interesting/whatever you are if you are a morally rotten jerk. There is no excuse for immoral.
@VEGETADTX I know exactly what you mean, but when you start making millions, morals go flying out the window. I'm on the same page as you are, for the record, but you can't expect Dana to ever change, his business is so damn successful and he's making loads of money, the last thing he even thinks about are morals lol.
Idk about the jew part, he's a good buisnessman and a complete asshole piece of shit. Those things kind of go hand in hand. He thinks he owns MMA, he thinks he created the sport...
You can't compare boxing and mma to each other.Their both good,so just enjoy both equally.A boxer can't hang in an mma championship fight and an mma fighter can't hang in a boxing championship fight.Anybody who says otherwise is obviously a fan who just jumped on the bandwagon in recent years.Period.
CBS ratings will be off the chart!! Once that happens CBS will pay Fedor much more than the UFC ever will!! The Best Heavyweights in my opinion are as follows: 1 Fedor 2. Lesnar 3.Josh Barnett 4.Carwin 4. Velasquez 5. Junior Dos Santos 6.Frank Mir 7.Noguiera 8.Brett Rogers 9.Arlovski 10. maybe randy couture at 10....
It's not more technical it's just using more than two hands. Anytime you you combine boxing, kickboxing and wrestling, you are going to have more tools in your arsenal to defeat opponents who only use one out of the three.
Dana is obviously passionate but seems like he was talking really fast maybe because he wanted to get as much exposure as possible or too much coffee?
You can still fight after it though. I think in sports when they say a serious injury they mean like a broken back or something that ends your career.
why would u insult MMA? people like u dumb fucks who talk about MMA fans being stupid dont know shit u guys just wanna hate on something and decided its MMA time you know who u should hang out with, mccains wife im sure u and her would get along go hold some signs outside an MMA fight and just have a good ol time right? dumb fuck if u dont like the UFC or MMA dont watch it idiot.
Machida is probably in the top2 or 3 best pound 4 pound ranking in my opinion. But one thing is certain Fedor is the most complete fighter ever, and thats why dana white is so upset for not being able to signing the best fighter in the world "fedor" The ranking would obviously look like this! 1. Fedor 2. Anderson Silva 3. Machida 4. GSP 5. BJ Penn
@stockmaster1982 How many years have you been sucking Fedor dick? How many years have you been hating Dana White? Get a life, loser. Laughing out loud!
@stockmaster1982 Laughing out loud! You're on all the Fedor and Dana White videos. You probably think Fedor is still the best heavyweight. Laughing out loud!
@stockmaster1982 stockmaster1982 needs to fuck off & die. I see that moron on damn near every single MMA video hating on Dana White, hating on the UFC, hating on the best fighter ever Anderson Silva... go suck Fedor's dick some more stockmaster.

Zuffa bought pride for around 70 million dollars when they were having money troubles on their own due to associations with the yakuza mafia in Japan. lus dana/zuffa wanted to keep pride and fights but the japanese don't want to deal fairly. Many of the fighters came happily to ufc from pride. For real fans of mma, the ufc has made it better for us to enjoy. Unless u want wrestling like freak shows with 400 pounders or 7 footers fighting small fighters. U can't show dicks in japanese porn.
not to argue with or something just stating fact here Dream Stage Entertainment own pride than sold it to zuffa and what happen next Dream Stage Entertainment open dream up in the next four month , not what that seem like they got sucker ,danna know it..
Dream is nothing compared to Pride. They dont have the fighters. They don't have the name recognition, and they don't have the following. I seen some of their fights and they are so so, but not the epic fights of pride or that are in the ufc now. I don't think they sucker since ufc got most of their great fighters like nog, cro, etc and owns all the library to those fights. Dream is just starting over and maybe in 10 years it will be like pride again, and the ufc will be more epic by then.
True is not as big as pride right now, it just started, and i watch it all through hd net, no but they will have upcoming fighter that how pride started it didnt grow overnight.yes ufc to me is the on top of mma right now, but those big name from pride is going down and the are not on there prime no more i lost interest in them only a few still like rampage,Mauricio Rua,victor belfort, but Mirko Filipovic, Wanderlei Silva even big nog fighter that are so so now,they use to be ..my thoughts
lol..they play danna dumb ass..sucker him to buy it..just forget it there no more pride is just in the past now and ufc own the right to the name that all
@biggerandbigger, Pride lost their only tv contract with fujitv due to yakuza affiliations, after that pride lost their mma audience and was heading for bankruptcy. UFC was the only mma organization that could afford to buy out pride. Dana never got suckered because UFC owns every single pride event, that's thousands of footage that can be aired on spike. Dream on the other hand can never show pride footage, EVER! Dream got the short end of the stick, but it was still better than bankruptcy.
@biggerandbigger, even in present day dream is still screwed, they never got a tv deal resigned with fujitv, which has the largest mma audience in japan, instead the tv deal went to another mma organization, Sengoku.
@secret21000 Wow you open my eye more with some really good info, but still dream is talking to Sengoku in co promoting with Dream in some event. well we will see it the long haul how these organization turn out, i will comment back to you in 2 years about how they turn out,either you will be right or i will be wrong about what the outcome of Dream is..
there you go kids, even dana said fedor isn't afraid to fight in the ufc and blames is leeches of managers that suck that life out of its host, just ask affliction
its no llonger the most dominant style.The best fighters are fighters that dont rely on particular style. Fedor is the closest one! He relies more on his animalistic instincts! Fedor best!!!

@Trepanation21 With my previous comment, we find that at UFC 118, a defeated BJ Penn earned $150,000 just from the fight contract (he lost). Randy Couture's contract (alone) netted him $250,000. You're telling me a BONUS of $60k-80k is underpaid? The only fighters not making some fuckin' BANK are like the prelim new guys, that are making about $10k, give or take a few grand. And rightfully so, they're not the performers that people are paying $50-$2000 to see (PPV or Attendance).

@warriorprince1010 These guys are making more money per SECOND than you or I comparitively make in weeks, like many have said. Look at all the comments! You're apparently alone in this notion that UFC fighters are being exploited. Rich Franklin even said in an interview when asked what his salary was, that he could sit around grading math papers for highschool kids, or he could be a professional athlete in a sport he loves, making more money in a single fight than he would in a year otherwise.

@kinggunner69 MMA rankings all have Brock in the top 3. Why cant you people admit hes an elite wrestler, physical freak and an up and coming star.
Brock isnt all the UFC has to offer either. Theres Carwin, Valasquez, Mir, JDS and Big Nog that all rank in the top 10 higher than Werdum. Werdum was cut by the UFC because he went 2-2 and sucked.
Besides Jake Shields, the UFC owns almost everybody in every division.

@kinggunner69 The king has been dethroned. This is why fighters dont leave the UFC just to fight Fedor.
How much money would they lose fighting for that shitty Strikeforce?
Werdum beat Fedor in 30 seconds! SF can keep him or he can fight with the big boys in the UFC.
Dana is dead on here and is doing fine without Fedor. UFC 116 will be huge!
ragincaucasian319 1 year ago
While I actually like Dana, he's really just a politician. When Shogun lost to Forrest Dana said Pride fighters were overrated. Then he claimed Shogun suffered from ring rust when Shogun started coming back.
When he bags on Fedor it's cause he doesn't fight 3 times a year....disconnect anyone?

@swordsplayer04 I dont love or hate him. I am right in the middle and in the moment with Dana. He makes a dumb comment, then I am all over him. If he makes a good point, then I tell everyone to listen to what he said. This interview was spot on, so I root for Dana. I know he is a polarizing figure, very controversial. That is because he double talks, he will say rough things about a guy then the guy makes him money and he flips the script. He took UFC marketing to another level, made MMA soft.
bamjungle 10 months ago
@swordsplayer04 IMO "type of guy who you either love or hate"- is just an excuse to say for someone that he is jerk.
Whether people love him or hate him depends both on THEM and on Dana White, not only on Dana White.
IMO Dana is the most two-faced, self-contradicting, hypocritical, absurd, ridiculous, pathetic, disgusting, spoiled liar and rotten human soul that has ever walked the planet earth, and I think its just TOO obvious but some people intentionally close their eyes for some reason.

@bfmyac 1.No kind of success should ever justify immoral (Dana White does all in a immoral corrupted, insulting, disrespectful, unprofessional, arrogant and hypocritical way).
2.But he didn't bring any success nor he "saved" MMA? Based on what do you conclude this please?
How come many of us fans believe he actually ruined MMA!
Only thing he brought to MMA is swearing, disrespect, unprofessionalism, hypocricy, duplicity, lies etc.
Its so sad to see many people endorse his disgusting behavior.

bfmyac 1 month ago
@bfmyac And where is MMA today?
Rrules are less and less like fighting.
No, stomps!! no knees to the downed opponent etc etc...All of that was in past in MMA now its gone.
Fighters mentality - instead of being respectful and professional like Fedor, Crocop, Fujita, etc...Fighters today are more and more like Sonnen and Lesnar thanks to Dana. "Great example" for kids really.
Sport being more famous is not improvement for me, I don't care about how popular it is, I care how quality is it.
VEGETADTX 1 month ago
@VEGETADTX As cool a it was to watch the stomps, it definitely didn't help the sport, the soccer kicks made it look much more barbaric, and would have made it nearly impossible to break mainstream with rules like that. Don't get me wrong it was cool, but it's not what the sport needs to become recognized as a professional sport just like any other. I understand about you care about quality, but the UFC must cater to mainstream fans, not the hardcores like us, in order to become bigger.

@bfmyac But you don't understand my point man:
"UFC must cater to mainstream fans, not the hardcores like us, in order to become bigger."
In order to become bigger? But what that means to you!? Why care if its big or not?
Why would that make you happy...who cares about fame seriously...its about quality.
I am not a fan of MMA because I like listening to Dana's ridiculous self-contradicting, two-faced speeches, I am fan a of MMA because I like to watch fights. As simple as that.
VEGETADTX 1 month ago
@VEGETADTX I don't think you understand, I'd love for the UFC to do everything for the hardcore fans, but it will die down eventually, they have to do what will make the company "bigger". Because in the end of the day, they're not doing this to make you happy, this is their job, so you can't expect Dana to be the way YOU want him to be and he won't treat his company the way YOU want to. It's all about money, I know, seems unfair, but it's a money game. As simple as that.
bfmyac 1 month ago
@bfmyac I don't think MMA would ever die just because UFC wasn't strong.
As for Dana, I don't want him to do what I want, I want him to be moral and honest...not a disgusting shameless pathological liar, who even betrays his own grandmother at her death and his own mother who gave him everything he has including his career.
I'm sorry sport is sport but moral is moral...I don't care how talented/interesting/whatever you are if you are a morally rotten jerk. There is no excuse for immoral.

@VEGETADTX I know exactly what you mean, but when you start making millions, morals go flying out the window. I'm on the same page as you are, for the record, but you can't expect Dana to ever change, his business is so damn successful and he's making loads of money, the last thing he even thinks about are morals lol.

Than that doesn't mean that one's morals suddenly went out the window, it just means that one has finally shown his real face.
And yeah he might be successful now, but mark my words, there is an old Serbian saying that actually rhymes in Serbian: "It left the way it came"
He got up there by stepping over people and being corrupted, well he will be stomped back sooner or later.

cumbucketproductions 2 years ago
Zuffa bought pride for around 70 million dollars when they were having money troubles on their own due to associations with the yakuza mafia in Japan. lus dana/zuffa wanted to keep pride and fights but the japanese don't want to deal fairly. Many of the fighters came happily to ufc from pride. For real fans of mma, the ufc has made it better for us to enjoy. Unless u want wrestling like freak shows with 400 pounders or 7 footers fighting small fighters. U can't show dicks in japanese porn.

Dream is nothing compared to Pride. They dont have the fighters. They don't have the name recognition, and they don't have the following. I seen some of their fights and they are so so, but not the epic fights of pride or that are in the ufc now. I don't think they sucker since ufc got most of their great fighters like nog, cro, etc and owns all the library to those fights. Dream is just starting over and maybe in 10 years it will be like pride again, and the ufc will be more epic by then.
spaniardmale77 2 years ago
True is not as big as pride right now, it just started, and i watch it all through hd net, no but they will have upcoming fighter that how pride started it didnt grow overnight.yes ufc to me is the on top of mma right now, but those big name from pride is going down and the are not on there prime no more i lost interest in them only a few still like rampage,Mauricio Rua,victor belfort, but Mirko Filipovic, Wanderlei Silva even big nog fighter that are so so now,they use to be ..my thoughts

@biggerandbigger, Pride lost their only tv contract with fujitv due to yakuza affiliations, after that pride lost their mma audience and was heading for bankruptcy. UFC was the only mma organization that could afford to buy out pride. Dana never got suckered because UFC owns every single pride event, that's thousands of footage that can be aired on spike. Dream on the other hand can never show pride footage, EVER! Dream got the short end of the stick, but it was still better than bankruptcy.

is something that can ultimately be

used to fighting against that style.
BJJ used to been the best fighting style
but after ppl got used to fighting against
its no llonger the most dominant style.The best fighters are fighters that dont rely on particular style. Fedor is the closest one! He relies more on his animalistic instincts! Fedor best!!!
