Frank Shamrock: Dana White Is Not A Good Representative Of MMA

http://steverattlesnake.cliquezone....ana-white-is-not-a-good-representative-of-mma

“The face of our sport is Dana White and out here in conservative New York, the way people think, bald-headed, tattoo’d, swearing people are just not a good representative of our brand and unfortunately people think that Dana White speaks for MMA, and they’re confused, They don’t know he speaks for the UFC. They think he speaks for the entire sport and [they think] the entire sport is made up of Dana Whites.

I don’t think it’s all on him, but we’re entering a new era of social media and Dana is a very outspoken figure in every way, mostly with the f-bomb and all that. I’m a martial artist. To me, the art is the most important thing. I don’t get the same thing from Dana, that’s all.

I don’t believe that Dana White is a martial artist, I don’t see a martial way that he is following.

In no uncertain terms, what [New York politicians] have said is, ‘The appearance of the sport is something we’re not ready for,’ and the appearance of the sport is Dana White and the UFC because no one else has been here in the media and explain it and has credibility, who’s done it,

I know what the art is and I’m here to represent it, I think that’s all we need. We need a different face.”

 

I agree that mma needs another face than dana white maybe a guy like st pierre can become more of an ambassador to the sport it seems a role he would be great at.

the thing is money talks and bull**** runs down the crack of your ass.

what I mean is a cleaner image would be helpful for mma but money opens all doors, mma will eventually make it to the empire state. their is too much money to be made from it.

 

It is all a matter of time. MMA is not slowing down.

 

Maybe Randy and Rich Franklin aswell when they retire

 

both of them are intelligent and highly likable especially Franklin in my opinion.

Agree'd, Rich and Randy, as well as Wanderlei spent a good 20 minutes walking round the crowd and signing autographs in the O2 on Saturday. If only they all could convince Dana to shut up for a while

 

I agree...the only thing worse would be for frank shamrock to be the face. Shark toothed scary looking muthafukka who punched a dude at the brain stem repeadly recently.

 

I think MMA itself would spread and grow bigger just due to the fact that people love fighting, if Dana would just shut the **** up and fall back out of the limelight he wouldn't need to get on camera and drop the f-bombs and be a total dick to try getting it legalized in NY. We in NY just don't like his Boston acting ass.

 

Dana White just looks like a clown to everyone who isn't a retared hick who has sex with his siter, watches the UFC driking a beer and yelling at the TV telling the best fighters in the world what to do.... I would like to know who he is impressing saying **** all the time.
