Media Dana: "I was the one beating the drum about Demetrious Johnson a long time ago."

Tbf, ppl didn't buy Mighty mouse cards. They complained about how ahead of his division he was. Plenty of posters here ĺaughed and mocked how the UFC promoted him as the p4p1 his entire title run and now that he's gone, everyone pretends they forced him out because Dana personally hated him or something against the pleas from millions of fans the world over.

I was around for it, we all were. Let's not try and twist history just bc DJ=GOAT and Dana=ASSHOLE

DJ wanted to leave. He wasn't a bystander in that trade. He was a willing participant.

It's not simple, sure.

But I'm not gonna pretend Dana was "beating the drum" for DJ. He couldn't even say it with conviction. He shrugged and it sounded like a tired response fell out of a sound board. It's a phony fake answer. Dana was happy to move on from DJ.
 
Must be a slow day in sherdog

No one ever said DJ sucked. UFC and DJ beefed over fighter pay, especially given he holds the record for most consecutive title defenses and prior to his loss to Cejudo he had the most title defenses of any champion at that time. He wasn’t even making 500k on his fights which is laughable given how much less accomplished boxers make.

So was the fan base at the time though, like the sport and we collectively owe DJ apologies. Dana never loved DJ, no question.
But he never fucked him over, either. At least not more than he fucks them all over generally if that makes sense?
DJ deserved bigger bags, they all do though imo.

Dana is a funny man. He beat those drums so much he ended up trading him to get rid of him
