I wonder how many of you guys were actually watching the sport when it went black from PPV. Dana is a jerk and an easy guy to hate- but that doesn't change what he has done.
AT this point, no single factor from the early days is going to explain everything. The fact that the UFC has continued to dominate while others continue to fall for all this time makes a much larger statement. Yes, he is corrupt, but he has run the business aspect of the UFC in a way others can't seem to match.
Hopefully we have someone come along that has a great business sense as well as deep pockets, as that is what it will take to challenge the UFC.
