BJ Penn Unhappy, Shuts down Filming of UFC Primetime

Dantes is the voice of reason in this thread.

 

I just rewatched on the UFC website. There was one point in the 1st episode when Dana was giving it large about how when BJ wasn't training properly he said to BJ 'dude, what the **** are you doing?' etc etc then they cut BJ's trainer so it sounded like he said 'to hear that from someone he admires and respects...gave him a wakeup call' or some bull****. It was obvious that BJs trainer was talking about something else but Dana had them edit it so he came out looking like a straight talking hero and BJ is some dumb islander. If you are part of a project that is editing footage to alter the content you have to be so careful. I don't blame BJ at all. We all know that he likes to be in control of his image with all that refusing to give post fight interviews and just shouting 'BJPENN.com'

Dana is such a dick I can't believe they let him front the UFC. it's like something out of a bad comedy movie starring Adam Sandler or some other dip**** called 'Mr Angry CEO' about a potty mouthed **** up that inherits a media reliant company and doesn't change his persona but instead the media end up accepting his course, backward, blue collar way of doing press confrences/interviews etc. Kind of like Sarah Palin.

 

BJ was cracking. I tried to warn you guys. Hope you didn't lose your house betting on this one.

 

And the rest - as they say - was history. . .

 

Maybe because Dana owns the company you douche atsch

 

Dana doesn't own the company.

 

In 1992, White established Dana White Enterprises in Las Vegas. He conducted aerobics classes at three gyms[2] in the Las Vegas area and began managing MMA fighters Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell.
While working as a manager, White learned that Semaphore Entertainment Group, the parent company of the UFC, was looking for a buyer for the UFC. White contacted childhood friend Lorenzo Fertitta, an executive at Station Casinos, and a former commissioner of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Within a month, Lorenzo and his older brother Frank bought the UFC, with White installed as its president.[3] White currently owns 10% of Zuffa, LLC, the entity the Fertitta brothers created to own and manage the UFC.[
