I didn’t say they did shows like WWE I was saying he acts like a president of a WWE cussing and stirring things up like hes a figher himself

@Driden I think Dana White is doing a good job in my eye’s, if you wanna talk about a ‘WWE’ image that would be strike force/Bodog. . NOT UFC at all. . when’s the last time you have seen a fighter come out in some stupid ass costume in the UFC, now go check Strike Force. . Dana has his flaws but a WWE image is not one of them!

He’s a fucking greedy egotistical asshole. . . but he speaks the truth.
Comment by GeorgeRUSHsp — November 17, 2009 @ 9:50 am
Yeah, regardless of his intentions he doesn’t act or represent the UFC very well at all. He sounds like a school yard bully running a fight club. People have talked about this before and they say his time as President will be running short as MMA and UFC wants to break the WWE image he makes.

Ya hes the owner of the largest MMA organization on earth your some faggot on youtube who probably has never faught despite what you say and you think you know more then him? are you daffed?

He is saying he is not a fan of assholes running and promoting amature mma. He said he believes in it, he just wants the fighters safe and taken care of.

Dana is a complete idiot. I did an amateur MMA match and TKO’d my opponent. He got suspended for 30 days. This happens for any fighter who gets TKO’d. If you get KO’d, I think you get suspended for 3 months. This idiot is just plain greedy. Saying all amateur promoters are in it for money. Yes that is true. But you are also in it for money. They do amateur fights because their crowds are small and they can’t afford to pay the fighters but at least it gets the fighters name out.

As much of an asshole that Dana can be at times, I think he does make some decent points in this video.

I heard that the word amateur comes from the old word “amore” by that has an undertone love rather than being an opposite to professional.

the State Athletic Commission. theyve had a record for bad judges, scandals, bad referees etc.
Comment by Dereksag14 — November 17, 2009 @ 7:52 pm
he brings up good points tho
Comment by Dereksag14 — November 17, 2009 @ 8:01 pm
if he took some action maybe he would get respect from the people but his job is too make profits for the UFC not to impress us.
Comment by Dereksag14 — November 17, 2009 @ 8:07 pm
A good part of why the sport is spreading so well is because of amateur MMA. Theres nothing like going to a live fight. And unfortuanatley Mr. White not everyone can buy a plane ticket to Vegas to pay 500 -1000 for a ticket. Dana is concerned about Dana. Making money and monopolizing this sport. You know how many of his fighters are as good as they are because of amateur MMA?What a senseless thing to say. Go try out for the NBA but dont play any high school ar college ball. ?WTF
