Wanna know what the "announcement" was all about ?

perhaps it will give those who hate dana white and want to see him gone something to cheer about.

 

That's going to have a significant impact on MMA for the next five years?

 

That seriously can't be the announcement. That's the lamest thing I've ever heard.

 

Yeah. I mean, I was expecting to be disappointed, but..

 

Wow, I'm incredibly underwhelmed. Dana White has to stop with the "big announcements" unless they are actually big.
Regardless of the impact this might have internally in the UFC, do the fans really give a ****.

 

And I can only imagine how control freak Dana is going to like having the "big" boss making day-to-day decisions now for the UFC. Instead of Dana getting financially backed by some higher rollers and otherwise left to do as he wishes, he's going to have to actually work with someone.

They may be the best of friends now, but when you have two powerful people trying to steer a ship, it doesn't always work out so well. This ought to be interesting. Dana the egomaniac may say it's great now, but 6 months from now, he may be singing a different tune.

 

what a joke Dana White is.

 

Wow I still cant get over this shocker.

 

Tko you make a really good point and it will be interesting to see how well they work together.

 

Huge!!!!! :yikes

 

Lame.

 

Gay. :verysad

 

I can see why it's big. With only minimal involvement, Fertitta helped turn the UFC from a company worth two million dollars, into what it is now. He turned his families casino business into HUGE money (dude made like $120 million dollars, alone, last year out of it).

This guy can help the planned expansion in numerous ways - ways that Dana White's trailer park charm wouldn't work on.

 

It's not that big for us, now. But it is a huge change for the UFC. This means someone other than Dana is going to be a considerable mouthpiece for the UFC, and Fertita has huge connections to all sorts of business and can get things done much quicker and more professionally. If they want to go global, he is the guy they need to do it.
