Media Dana White says Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov fell victim to money

[croshad]

So now we know why UFC doesn't pay their fighter. It's because of us, so we get better fights. Thanks Dana

 

[Luthien]

Dana at the office like <..<

The UFC should have given Khabib a title shot sooner, even though he did pull out of multiple fights from weight cutting issues, Khabib would have had more title fights before his dad passed had he gotten pushed through the rankings like Bo nickel.

Also Khabibs dad passing is the main reason he retired early , not money.

 

[Hotora86]

Conor yes.
Khabib no.

"Dana, why are you such a goof?"
“Money ruins everything,” White replied.

Khabib quit because he couldn“t make 155 anymore and was scared to move up in weightclasses. How many times this coward was hospitalized while cutting?

LOL at another article linked to this one:

Thank god Dana seems to be immune to this horrible phenomenon

 

[Meathead Jock]

Is he just trying to rattle Team Khabib or what is his goal here.

Trying to link Khabib and Connor in being money downfalls is crazy talk. Not Powerslap is bigger than the NFL and Mlb crazy, but crazy.

I dunno, he doesn't even show up half the time, and is distracted by his PowerSlob nonsense.

Already a thread....

Media Thread 'Dana says fighters making too much money "ruins everything" cites Conor and Khabib as examples'

Nov 12, 2025

On Khabib specifically



Dana seems to be transforming into late stage Tony Soprano too, going by his heavy breathing.

What a dumb hater here. Someone IP ban this trash

 

[Chayanne]

This is another manipulative bullshit, fighters can die in the octagon and have the right to earn all the money they are offered.

 

[HNIC215]

Says the guy who spends millions on silly collector items like swords and sports memorabilia LOL

Love when rich people are so clueless about money.

MONEY

THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL










UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT

 

[mkess101]

I'm far from a huge Khabib fan (see my AV, I was Team Tony back when that was THE fight to make) but did I miss where Khabib was doing mixing bowls full of blow and assaulting women? How the hell is he lumping these two together lol?

If anything, Khabib is too rigid and has outdated views on women etc due to his religious beliefs. He's sure as shit not going off the rails like Conor though, they're nothing alike.

 

[cws80us]

He's not wrong. The more money these guys make, the less they fight. So it's kind of a catch 22.

 

[HHJ]

Dana needs a Chuck Liddell that never ages or loses his chin.

That's the perfect employee for Dana. A guy who loves to fight so much that he would probably do it for free if he could.

Put the true idiots that spam this forum, with junk, on the ignore list.

It makes for a much better experience.
