When will people realise he is NEVER going to say anything outside the UFC is great or even good? What good does that do him as a bussiness man? He is not us, he is a bussiness man first, they are putting a mic in front of him because he is the president of the UFC, not because he is a fan of MMA. No he is not always professional, or polite or un biased...get used to it. I should post eveytime Don King rhymes when talking and I'll make less posts then 'Dana said something outside the UFC is stupid' posts lol.
Nothing against you krav, I like the interview links, this was toward the people who are like, can you belive he said that....yes we can all belive it lol.

It is dumb though to have Ken fight Frank. That he was right about.
What he's not right about is the fact that Kimbo? BTW, Kimbo is being trained by a former UFC HW Champion? And Kimbo is better right now than he was when he fought Gannon! I think in a year or two Dana might eat those words about Kimbo, esp if Kimbo starts fighting solid talent and beating them.

Sorry, I hated Kimbo when I heard he was entering MMA. I hated Kimbo in his first fight. But I started RESPECTING Kimbo when it was obvious he was taking this seriously and in his last couple of fights?
He's for real! Look at his physique. Went from this big barrelling scary dude, to a leaner, meaner framed BIG DUDE. Only Bas Rutten can do that to you in such a short time!
Is he gonna be UFC HW Champion Next year? No. But i GUARANTEE he's gonna knock alot of HW MMA guys out along the way to a title shot.
I'm currently now impressed with Kimbo, esp with the respect he shows for MMA.

Damn straight! I think he'd kick Brandon Lee Hinkle's ass too (the no name that put Gannon in the hospital)!

I bet that has been would work right up to contender status.
In a Franklin/F. Shamrock match, I would pick Shamrock.
I agree with what he said about Kimbo. If you throw him into the mix and don't hand pick opponents, Kimbo would get owned.
I bet Rich would KTFO of F.Shammy just like he did his brother, but thats just me.....

First off thanks for posting this Krav. Secondly I am a big supporter of Dana. He is horribly transparent in a lot of the things he says but we know that by now. But I would bet the bank that the majority of the people who flame him don't work 1/10 as hard at your job than he does. The UFC is not in cruise control as many may think and instead of being content with this state of the organization as healthy as it is right now, he still works tirelessly to expand and bring a better product every time.

See, that's the thing. Frank says he hates his brother because he's an egomaniac, but Frank is every bit as much of one, if not more so than Ken. Frank wouldn't "work his way up" in a million years (maybe for a few million dollars however.) In his mind he's the best there ever was, and the best there ever will be. I don't think he'll even make it though Cung Le on Saturday night, let alone any of the top 5 fighters in the division. Frank is fine where he is.

I think the Shamrocks fighting each other is dumb. Ken just needs to retire from fighting...Period. Kimbo's got skillz, at least standing anyway. Just look at fluently he moved against Tank. I know, it's Tank, but that man's stand-up is probably comparable to just about anyone, hands that is. Imagine how nasty he'll be when Bas gets him mixing in some kicks. Kimbo could definetly be a scary man.
Dana on Kimbo, The Shamrocks, and Tito = They All Suck!
