Dana: "Jon Jones A Little Diva"

I bet the Fortune 500 companies are just clammoring to have Dana be the spokesperson, or even run, their orginization !!

Dana does it because Jones is the first legitimate potential mainstream athlete the UFC has had and Dana wants to keep Jones in check to make sure he never has to pay him what he's worth.

Dana knows the UFC fan base is comprised of a lot of racists and xenophobes, so by making them hate Jones, it makes it that much harder for Jones to ask for more money.

But the problem is, Jones will appeal to non UFC fans and that's what's going to make him bigger than Dana wants him to be.

Damn, the "tangental" hate for Ronda makes me think you need to get laid bro....Really bad.

But hey, you're a Gomi guy...Of course you have an issue with the sport evolving and moving forward...:p

Gotta love intertard logic: If a guy has something negative to say about any female, he's automatically not getting laid. Even if the guy you quoted was a misogynist, you do realize misogynists get laid too, right?

Lol. Dana can say whatever he wants and I could not care less. He's bashed Anderson so many times but does that stop people from liking Anderson?

UFC doesn't have the smartest fan base.

They hated Anderson when Dana was bashing him and he wasn't finishing fights the way they wanted him to.

Then they loved Anderson when Dana started praising him and he started finishing fights the way they wanted him to.

That's the nature of the UFC beast and it's impressionable fan base. If you're making Dana White money, he will get the fans to like you, if you're not making him money, he will get the UFC fans to hate you.
 
All this continues to do is push Jones and other fighters to treat MMA/UFC like what it truly is, a business. Lol Good job Dana.

Not really. People love anderson silva, jds, rashad, aldo, bendo etc. Its not a race thing why ppl dont like jones. its what he says. what he does etc. and ppl think hes too big for lhw and isnt getting a challenge by fighting smaller guys. Its not him being black.

this i can agree with. dana can steer the level of likeability. if he bashes u in a press conference you can lose fans...but really is it danas fault every time? no. what silva did in the maia fight was stupid. so it was warranted by dana. remember anything that hurts the ufc is bad. and dana can spin it anyway he wants. its not a race thing.

I agree to a point. I think that Dana is trying to keep Jones in check to prevent him from developing a Mayweather sized ego and refusing fights with ridiculous demands.

But I don't think that the UFC fanbase is made up of racists and that Dana is trying to get people to hate Jon because he is black. Rampage was the champ at one point and Dana did not bash him during his title reign. Anderson Silva also has dark skin and Dana is his biggest fan. The only time Dana bashes Anderson is when he puts on a laughing stock of a fight. Dana is known to feud with fighters that have big egos - Tito is the best example. It has nothing to do with the guys race.
 
He is kinda, but not real bad. He is the 1st of the new generation, that no longer really has to consider the sport and the UFC first. MMA is big enough to have a set back or two so no one really has the fate of the world on their shoulders. They can start looking out for number 1.

Only correcting one thing dont care about the race stuff yall talking about, the whole saying People love Anderson, Rashad, and Bendo. All 3 fighters were hated at one point. Bendo has recently out of no where been getting hate for some of the dumbest reasons ever, and many truly dont gave a shit about Rashad, just have let the hate they have for him go after YEARS, and moved on to hating others.
 
Dana is always going to blame JJ for 151. He wants any other fighter to know that if they don't do what the UFC needs they will be on "Dana's bad side".

Doesn't seem JJ cares.

At one time people hated Anderson, Rashad, and now the hate is even starting for Bendo.

Anderson was merking dudes left and right, but then he got frustrated with his opponents, didn't finish them, and Dana was able to steer the fan base to dislike him since he wasn't fighting the way the UFC fans wanted him to fight.

As soon as he started finishing guys again, people loved him.
 
dana is the diva for blaming everyone else, except himself, for the ufc 151 fiasco

thats what happen when you dont have backup plans, a solid co-main event, a solid card and blablabla

Oh gawd. If Dana thinks Jon Jones is a diva, could you imagine how Dana would react to a legitimate athlete who has an entourage and competes for money and makes millions?

Dana expects every UFC fighter to act like a dumb back yard brawling white guy who, "just wants to fight!" and doesn't care that they're making Dana millions while he's paying them hundreds.

"legitimate athlete?"

Why even mention skin color?



Both Jones and Dana have their hypocrisies.
