you fuckin liar – its not about the ratings, why the hell is the house stocked with liquor??? i really cant stand dana after this bullshit. calling out fedor for not coming over to UFC, why dont you tell us all about the shitty contract you offered the guy? to fight for a fraction of money he can get elsewhere. dana white blowss
I find it so funny that Dana goes on and on saying “the last things he’s thinking about are ratings” but yet he just confirmed that he went out of his way to bring in Kimbo, a man he says he doesn’t believe in and not to mention all the trash he’s spoken. He also goes on putting his foot in his mouth adding that “he doesn’t know if Kimbo would still fight in the UFC if he doesn’t make it in TUF. What does that mean? Well I’m sure part of the deal with brining Kimbo over was to give him a couple of televised fights with the organization. Give me a break Dana; it’s obvious all the money you’re making is turning you into a real life Michael Jackson. You believe your own false reasoning! Need we forget the huge conspiracy with Rampage and him? First, White asks like God trying to change things for Rampage when clearly the man lost his mind! Then gives him a title shot after one win. Second, then doubts a real champion like Machida from taking the title from Rachad. C’mon, people it wasn’t that hard to figure out that Dana planned that Rampage was the sure win and then he was going to push TUF finale as a PPV. But to Dana’s disarray Loyoto wins and then get’s put on the spot. So what does he do? Well at this point anything he wants to, which then was to allow Rampage to puss out from the title shot, which we all know Machida clearly would win, then start shooting TUF with Rachad and Jackson. If Dana keeps this up, UFC will in time become as corrupt as boxing.
couple of edits from my post. That Evans was the sure win. Also “acts like God” for all you anal spellers
i dont know how you can edit your post for spelling ufc4life and not tell us who this rachad character is. im not an “anal speller” but i think you might mean rashad. i just thought it was a little funny. and just to throw a little mma in my post, dana is a joke. “dont care about rating?” umm….. right. last i knew the moron runs a company that makes most of its money off of ratings. i think what he meant is that he doesnt care about his fighters or he would pay them more of that money that he rakes in from all of those ratings that he could care less about. after all, arent they the ones really earning the ratings/money. keep up the good work dana. soon youll be saying and believing that you have a 3 foot afro. douche
Shut the fuck up. Dana’s a good and honest guy. Fedor couldnt handle it in the UFC anyway.
I really, truly feel that the first two posters are looking into this too deep.
First who cares if Dana White says it’s not about the ratings? Honestly? Their current contract with Spike TV is up. They have to make a push with the show to keep the train rolling.
By bringing in Kimbo you are going to give some great exposure to 15 other potential heavyweights while at the same time bringing in more viewers to a tv show that desperately needs an angle.
At the end of the day this is the most brilliant move the UFC could have pulled out of their ass.
Depending on what Ferguson has done since Elite’s days were numbered this could get interesting.
And to every schmuck that criticizes this move, you know you will tune in just like every other MMA fan out there to see what happens next.
You morons take all that time to write a short novel which appears to be directed to Dana as if he is gone to read it. Well…he isnt and the only a few of us may take the time out of our life to waste on reading it. I didnt get past three sentences. And I doubt anyone else will either. Save all your hate rhetoric and banter, because nobody here really gives a shit what you think.
UFC4Life – dead on.
why dont the UFC fighters get a percentage cut like aflicition etc???
Forrest is getting $100k to fight Silva… i would of thought he would of been paid more than that… those event must earn millions on millions… and forrest only takes $100k from it?
Dana White is fast becoming the new Don King
Dana white is a foul mouth asshole. and kimbo isnt gonna do shit in the tuf show. he sucks plain and simple. hes been exposed a few times.
Kimbo is a big buff black guy, but hes not an aggressive person. I think if someone started shit with him on the show he wouldn’t start a fight about it, I don’t think hes that kind of person.
Kimbo would pwn Fedor as well as Achilles of troy, bruce lee and last but not least, King fucking Kong lol , sarcasm guys sarcasm
f3dor. . . i truely think that he would, not sarcasm
stfu fags. dana’s fucking awesome.
thanks btw bruno.
This guy’s a hypocrite, talking about ratings aint shit and june was a troubled man and that he doesn’t know if gorilla kimbo will be kicked off the show for fighting. IT’s all about the UFC, TUF and MONEY!!!!! In addition to whiping out the competition. He’s also an instigator intigating shit with Efrain to keep june in the house. DANA’s still the man.
so u got junos brother on season nine, hmmmmmmmmmmm not for the ratings buddy
Come on Dana, don’t insult our intelligence.
The thing I like about Dana White is that you can genuinely tell that he says what he thinks honestly. I remember during the Junie thing I had the same thoughts that he had, such as “Why is this kid pulling this stuff?”. Frankly, it didn’t make sense, but in light of his “short man complex” and his home life, Dana was right–Junie was just scared.
As for the Kimbo decision, White has always said that he could come on the show and prove himself, so this is no BS. You could tell that he was questioning himself on his former statements at the beginning of the interview (a sight rarely seen on Dana White’s face) but in the end, he figured that a) Kimbo will make good TV b) It’s unlikely he will win the show c) if he does win then Dana will give him the chance he promised.
You could be more critical of White if he was to have told Kimbo Slice that he couldn’t be on the show because he sucks. I believe it is unlikely he WILL win, but if he does, so be it.
What people disliked about Kimbo Slice (at least from my own perspective) was that he was being touted as the greatest fighter that has ever lived by EliteXC. As far as his abilities as a backyard fighter, he is accomplished, and so was Tank Abbott for that matter.
Is he the heavyweight version of Lyoto Machida? Hell no.
