I| wonder if he might get yanked from the spotlight over this one. the womens rights can't really complain, all he did was call some reporter a *****, tough luck. ****** however, can get you in a bit of trouble. I know Dana has done a lot for the sport but the fertittas must know that he is going to mess up a good thing if he continues to carry on like he is. It can't be long before high profile fighters start to move to different orgs if these problems continue, I am surprise Fitch went back.
What other orgs? As much as id love to see this happen forget about it. The only reason why the UFC is doing so well is because they have an excellent financial model with great marketting and they pay there fighters peanuts. The return on there investment is huge. No other organisation has that economic clout nor talent.
You are right, White is like a Vince McMahon character, we don't need that **** in MMA. There are much classier ways he could get his point across. He is the face of UFC, wtf is he thinking? :iamwiths:
The guy's definitely a scumbag and conventional wisdom dictates how one should and should not act in the public sphere. Unfortunately, he is not equipped with conventional wisdom. Duhn't really matter much because we shall see a whole lot more of him as long as the UFC remains successful. 10 bucks says he hit that and the ***** left him for Gary Shaw or something. You don't get that angry if there ain't no personal feelings involved.
The more I see of Dana White, the more I understand why he can't sign the best in the world. This guy talks like he is some gang leader from harlem, "**** this" "****ing moron" "****" "****", it makes the ufc look terrible and If the higher up bosses don't see that they are dumber than Dana White. This attitude sets the fight business back and actually gives Boxing more credit in my eyes, This guy is what " President " of the UFC? He doesn't deserve to be President of my friends lawn care service.... Dana White... you are a piece of garbage.
You have to realize there is alot of sensitive MMA fans who don't like this behavior. Some of you remind me of people who complain about fighting in hockey. I thik Dana's role might be cut back anyhow apperently so he won't be making as many blogs or appearances so some of you will have to ***** about something else.
Just think how big the UFC could be if it was represented by someone with atleast a little bit of class. Do you think the athletic boards (like NYS) aren't aware of these kinds of outbursts? If the UFC cleaned up its image abit like NOT having bloodsplatter and deathmetal music on its intros maybe people other then the local meathead and fratboys would start to watch it.
of course I am generalizing about the fratboy/meathead comment. Oh and I act like that and talk like Dana which is fine, but obviously I don't run a company. Dana just doesn't have common sense.
It certainly would help them where places they arn't sanctioned if he could tone down the antics, If they heard his rants it sure wouldn't help.
