    He has just KOed 2 of his former champions in under 4 minutes total.

    The UFC Heavyweight Champion is a former WWF wrestler for christ sakes that has like 4 total fights.

    Why doesn't Dana put up or shut up and let his Heavyweight Champion fight Fedor in a fight with no strings attached?

    I guess Dana is still pissed that Fedor would not agree to one of his slave contracts.

    Or better yet have him put in his opinion the #1 PFP (Anderson Silva) fighter in the world against the real #1 P4P fighter (Fedor) in the world and settle it?

    We all know why he will never do it because Fedor would singlehandedly make the UFC irrelevant if he were to win those 2 fights.

    B/c he's an arrogant ***** who has the ego the size of China! He knows the truth but in "HIS WORLD" it's only "HIS TRUTH" that matters. He'll have to take note now and he'll be trying to get his claws in Fedor one way or the other. he just didn't want to have to go in to his bank roll to pay what Fedor is deserving. Hell...he doesn't pay his UFC fighters anything close to what they deserve so why would Fedor be any different?:nut

    When you see the salaries of both AFFLICTION cards it really makes UFC'S salaries look like pigeon feed.

    I applaud Affliction for moving with the times and paying their fghters decent wages..

    MMA isnt a underground sport anymore though Dana still gets away with giving fighters 3-10 grand even on ppv cards..

    I have started training abit for MMA in Australia and seeing a company like Affliction respecting there fighters with decent income etc it can only encourage more to pick up the sport..Alot of blokes i know who are big MMA fans but stick to boxing as there isnt much cash in MMA..

    As a Boxer(only had a few fights but been in gym most of my life)i must admit it takes alot more training to become a wellrounded MMA fighter..

    I don't get this one either. Dana isn't all bad but never liked his denial of this. It's not debatable.

    Who cares what White thinks. I mean seriously he's a puppet. He's the face and mouth of UFC but thats about it.

    Everyone who follows MMA knows who the main man is. That's what's important.

    Fedor is the current #1 Heavyweight fighter on the planet regardless of what Dana White says.

    Did you really expect him to admit another organization's champion was better?

    Simple, due to the fact he isn't in the UFC. If he does sign with the UFC i'm sure Dana would immediately say Fedor is number 1.

    Why does it matter what anyones previous work was before fighting ? So what he was a fake wrestler doesnt mean he wasnt a great athelte it was a good way to make money. I used to be a ****ing janitor,used to decorate donuts all kinds of dumb jobs so if I win a Championship does that make me a weaker Champion then anyone else ?

    This is actually true. If White continues his unprofessionalism and cursing on TV to a point where it gets old and tired and people wont have it. I wont be surprised if the Fertistas pushes him aside. He definitely is not CEO President or VP material, I dont know what his real title or role is.

    Dana White

    Business Man >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MMA Fan

    Dana cares more about money, MUCH MORE!

    Dana has slagged off a few fighters then bigged them up once hes signed them.

    He slagged off Wand live on a radio show, saying how he was'nt worthy of fighting Chuck because he was KTFO hard against Cro-Cop and Henderson back to back, amogst other negative **** he said about him.

    Then a few months later he signed him, made the fight with Chuck and acted like Wand was the greatest thing since sliced bread. :roll:
