Dana White Says Gastelum Needs to Get His Shit Together

Any ideas on what kind of issues he is talking about?

Weight issues? Weed?

Also, who was he supposed to be the back-up for?

 

[Skeptic_Zero]

IIRC Gastelum said he's going to hold out for the title shot instead of continuing to fight.

Dana could be referring to the fact that either yoel or whittaker would make him look like a redheaded stepchild and he has quite a bit of work to do before he's on their level.

Gastelum has alot of talent

His main issue is himself


Fatboi makes his weight cuts way too hard on himself. Also makes questionable decisions during fights.


He reminds me of a fat Melvin Guillard

Yeah I wondered what that was all about too. Dana's either throwing his fighters under the bus or being really vague about things.

Melvin Guillard

Kelvin Guillard?

Weight issues? Weed?

 

[podsox]

Guessing he didn't want to fight in Chicago because of their stricter rules on weed

 

[DarkneT]

He was probably weighing like 230

If he got his weight right he could rule WW(since Rory is gone).

His boxing is pretty good, he can take power shots from big MWs, even drop them, and nobody at WW can outwrestle him.

Also he is much more exciting than the top WWs.

Not saying it's a lock but he has all it takes. Except the discipline, which is frustrating for me as a fan. Also his attitude seems questionable at times.

Dana should take his own advice.

Guy is all over the place.

 

[Krixes]

He was looking a bit chubby last night....

 

[Workaholic]

If he put down the tacos it would have been him wiping the floor with either Colby or RDA last night

 

[JJSBUR]

I hate Dana.

 

[ritchest_eva]

Dude just got done with a war 1 month ago idk how they expected him to be ready to go that’s stupid on their part

 

[mrsenor]

hes not marketable is what dana means

 

[Shadowthrone]

What? He just beat Jacare

This video just underlines my problem with dana being a dick. The media panders to him, the fighters pander to him. Hes mad because someone is making noise while hes talking. hes a half deaf, half crazy bully. Its his way, and no other way. Hes the worst, and media and fighters placating him only makes it worse.

Then talking about Nick Newell. "You know how much trouble Id be in if something happened?" "People would be saying why did you put someone in there against pro fighters. Meanwhile, hes putting Cm punk in there with NO EXPERIENCE OR TALENT. Dana is a shit show

 

[KeepItRealist]

Well, it worked for Woodley.

 

[Apollo33]

Did they want him as a emergency fill in last night in case one of them pulled out? Maybe Gastelum agreed but was overweight as hell and couldn't do it

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

It's kinda hard for the fighters to get their shit together when the figure head is the most all over the place guy in the business.

Dana needs to stop being a child, grow up and lead by example.
