I respect all the things that Dana White has done over the years, but this just makes me want to hate him even more.....ergh.

I agree that saying Fedor sucks is outta line.. He may not be as good as allot of people believe but even at that he is far from sucking... Otherwise I DO agree that whats going on with Coture is a P- move.. But again thats Dana's and my opinion and nothing more...
Overall I thought allot of it was funny.. Good find man, and thanks for sharing!

I think Dana is saying these things so that eventually someone will believe it. It is like saying a lie long enough that people assume it is true. Make sense? I don't think that Fedor is number 1 because of his last fights. But he is definately top material. (and yes, he is argubly number 1)

No sugar coat with Dana, thats for sure..
Thing is, he doesn't tell it as he sees it.
He tells it like he wants everyone to think.
I'm not part of The Most Passionate Dana-haters Unlimited, but I don't like his emotional/disrespectful approach to fighters.
He doesn't get someone to fight in his organization, and off he goes telling everyone how much they "****ing suck". All day, every day. STFU Dana, we know you're just butt hurt he didn't sign with you.

Well put, agreed 100%. I mean, he always says Fedor sucks, but didn't Dana supposedly offer Fedor the biggest MMA contract ever?? Seems a tad contradictory. Just a tad.

I agree. I also agree that he does go over the line from time to time but it is like having Mark Cuban as the Mavericks owner and living in Dallas. It is sad but because he is on your side (Im from Texas)you like him and his antics.
Also I do think that some people love to hate Dana because it is the cool thing to do.

Passion speaks volumes and Dana has bags of it! I enjoy listening to the majority of the things Dana has to say. Regardless of right or wrong his opinion is always worthy of hearing. I feel we all have a choice we do not have to watch UFC or listen to Dana.
In my mind he has done a good bloody job and if they want to protect a fantastic product like they have im going to back them. Although Dana does go that extra mile to protect his business I love it! There always seems some ground behind his comments. Hey though no one has to like him you don't care, I dont care & sure enough he couldn't give a crap so we just carry on...
