That might actually be true at the moment...

 

I'm not sure what kind of beef you guys have against Dana White but he says some stupid things...

The TLDR is he's a greedy lying piece of shit. The long of it.

  • Most major sports have a roughly 50/50 split with their athletes. UFC is 81/19 based on documentation from them being sued.
  • He frequently says a fighter is "scared" to take a fight to hide the fact that he was lowballing them on their pay.
  • He'll assign a ludicrous salary demand to a fighter that isn't true to excuse him not making a fight. Example: He claimed Jon Jones wanted 30 million to fight Ngannou. Jones and his agent gave Dana White permission to publish any communication from him showing he demanded that salary. Dana went radio silent.
  • He puts his personal feelings above what's best for business. Example: Cris Cyborg. Despite mistreatment by him and minimal promotion. She outdrew everyone but McGregor in terms of PPVs. She fought a late notice replacement, to save a UFC card no less, and it drew more than Cormier vs. Miocic.

That's just the stuff of the top of my head.

Yes, yes.

 

I know all of this to be true, and I've seen all of it.

 

I'm not saying he's a good person or that you guys should treat what he does as ok.

 

I'm just confused as to why you guys have malice or negative feelings towards him. Like I said, he says stupid things, and if it wasn't implied, I can confidently say he does stupid things too. I'm just indifferent to it. All I care about are the fighters and their stories. Why waste emotional bandwidth on a fatty with a batty?

I agree that he's shitty and the things he's done/is doing are bad. I don't know, maybe I'm not communicating my point clearly. All I'm saying is that I don't care about him at all.

Yeah that shit was kinda WWE like. 1st a nut kick then get yourself in a choke? The last 3 fights of the night they lost because they choked if you know what I mean.

 

EDIT: Is Brock trying to go to the UFC again? Thought he retired from that? If anything, Bobby Lashley could probably win a few in the UFC.

Bones said his dream fight is against Brock thats why I mentioned him. 

 

Lashley had a decent record from what I heard about him in Bellator (I think he fought there, not sure tho)

Gane got out wrestled by Ngannou with one good leg. Bones outwrestling him and ending him is no surprise.
