When it comes to Dana White it requires perspective. I am a long time fan of the sport. I watched UFC 1 as a kid live on PPV. I used to rent the old UFC VHS Tapes at my local video store. Dana did get the sport out of the dark ages with a lot of hard work and vision. He also had the talent in the cage that came along to change the landscape. Without the GSP's, the Tito's, the Chucks, Anderson, etc..
the UFC is likely not around. MMA might be dead.
The problem with Dana is he has gone out of his way time and again, to wreck fighters legacies or damage their careers. He still hates on Tito to this day, demeaning him in the 30 for 30 documentary and why? Well it was all about Tito demanding more, and knowing his value. Tito was the first to demand his value because he knew his value.. To hear Dana tell it, Tito was the worst thing to ever happen to MMA. "A moron, a fuck up, does not know anything about business". To hear Dana tell it. Life is good for Dana when his fighters are getting their teeth kicked in for nickels and dimes.. GSP was once the Golden Boy of the UFC. Once GSP retired and demanded drug testing Dana turned on him, and to this day has little kind to say about GSP. GSP was once the highest grossing star in UFC history.. Rampage, Randy, Fedor on down the line Dana is almost as well known for his fighter feuds as his hard work building the brand of the UFC. Lying is like breathing for him..
In summary he is a piece of shit..
