Media Dana is literally asleep at the wheel. Admits he doesn't know Jones wanted to retire or be stripped

[PrideNverDies]

Says hes been busy and "hasn't been keeping up". This is proof he's out of touch with things and slowing down too much to continue to adequately run the UFC. Probably too busy with power slap or trying to promote boxing that UFC seems to be the last thing on his mind. No wonder the product has degraded so much lately

Textbook example of that whole "who, me!?" Shit that people do when they're backed into a corner

 

[Azure]

So you think Dana handles and does everything in the UFC and stays on top of every fighters social media and quotes?

 

[Neck&Neck]

He’s just saying that
He knows the deal

 

[Bobby Boulders]

He really said there's something like 400m people worldwide?

 

[MrShady]

I wish I kept a list of all the dumb fucks who kept saying this fight will happen they're just trolling this is just for PR blah blah

This fight is never going to happen you fucking idiots who just wasted 2 years of Tom's career.

Jon should've never been allowed to fight senior citizen Stipe for the belt. Should've been stripped back then and chucked away and let the real contenders fight.

Exactly. He's playing dumb. We all know the real reason he won't strip Jones

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Literally asleep at the wheel lol

 

[nostradumbass]

I wouldn't think he'd be following every social media post or interview, and Jon hasn't exactly been consistent with what he says to different people.

He really said there's something like 400m people worldwide?

He said 400m was the number of MMA fans in the world, not the global population.

logic and some sense doesn’t work when you’re still going on through life with the emotional angst of a teenage girl, you’re seeing that across the forums a lot when it comes to Dana & Jones.

I'm not sure I believe that number, regardless of context

It's pretty close by other estimates.​

International​

Researchers estimate that there are more than 300 million MMA fans around the world.


The UFC alone has held more than 500 events in 28 countries. It has a broadcasting reach of over a billion households in 165 countries. Its biggest fan bases are in the USA, Brazil, Russia, Australia, Mexico, China and the UK.


The most apparent recent growth has been across Asia. This is in part due to Zhang Weili’s epic 2019 performance when she became the first UFC champion of Asian descent.

I wasnt one of those "fucking idiots," but fans didnt waste Tom's career time, TOM did.

Dana is acting stupid and saying "oh I've been busy with other shit" is kind of worse than admitting ignorance. So...the president of the ufc didnt know any of this? Oh but he knew about that petition? Cmon. Btw, has that ever been done before?

Dana is right about trying to get fighters to fight. If he cant, then he cant. Dana has ALWAYS loved fighters that want to be as active as possible. Gee, golly, gosh, the boss likes his employees to do the extra time at work to make money.

Sitting out is hardly EVER a good strategy, especially considering father time. Tom needs to just take another fight...and he shouldve done that months ago. Jon needs to be stripped.

Fucking cant understand the strategy behind this. It makes no money.

Let's just get rid of both while we're at it. Who wants to start the petition?

 

[MrBlackheart]

He should be in top of the HW champ’s motivation regarding the biggest HW fight in ufc history. We are not talking about some random prospect here.

 

[Khaosan]

He’s too busy glazing Trump and Power Slap to give a flying fuck about the UFC.

 

[TrueBias]

Let's just get rid of both while we're at it. Who wants to start the petition?

Fuck it, I'm in. You and I fight for the belt.

Kidding aside, it makes an event and makes SOME money. I can try to be good at this, you too right?

Point is, yes, ufc needs to move on.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

The worst part is all these no balls having weasels that call themselves journalists asking softball after softball question

Dana used the 400 million fans stats as an attempt to discredit the petition. But you have to ask of the 400 million, how many knows about the petition? Compare the “strip petition” of 180k to the “don’t strip” which is around 1k, we are taking about a 180:1 ratio. Extrapolate that to the total mma fans population and you would get the message that majority of fans are fed up with jones stalling antics.

Let's get rid of Jones, Uncle Dana, Bruce Buffer and Rogan. They're all past their prime
