What an hypocrite!!!
I dont think I recall Dana shitting on someone after being stopped.
He shits on fighters for shit performances. Hence black beast Ngannou or Anthony Smith against Jones.
Its also cause boxing, kickboxing, and mma have the highest stakes. You dont play fighting. YES hockey, rugby and NFL have high injury rates and have occasional deaths and future brain damage is a possibility but boxing has the highest fatalies per year than all of the other sports put together. The respect the ufc shows its fighters is a result of that possibility of death. It could happen and its a damn miracle its never happened yet, in the ufc.Even though Dana doesn't really apply this "rule" to himself. I see his point.
It is actually one of the problems with some fighters. Every time they are being talked about, it's positive. Except from us nerds and other fighters.
It's like they can do no wrong, they don't have shit defense, they just get caught. They don't neglect their ground game, they had a lapse in concentration etc...
I think that's the difference and what prevents MMA from going really mainstream (and particularly the UFC). All other sports, there is no hesitation or problem with critiquing and pointing the faults and mistakes of the losing sides, whereas in MMA it's all about being nice. Maybe the fact it's individual makes it harder compared to team sports, but still, it's problematic because then, all the content developed around it basically is shilling. Just like pro-wrestling.
“One of the things when we bought and built the UFC that we always did, being fight fans ourselves. I’m a huge fight fan, Lorenzo [Fertitta] was a huge fight fan, Joe Rogan is a huge fight fan.
“One of the things that we hated was on HBO boxing and some other boxing that they would do. Listen, you’re tuning in and buying the pay-per-view because you love these guys and you respect these fighters, and you’re a fan of the sport. The last thing you want to do is hear somebody ripping them apart.
“I’m not into it. Rogan is not into it. You don’t see that in the UFC. There will be times where I’m pissed off at a guy, and I’ll voice my opinion on what he did or whatever, or if a fight is really bad or somebody did something.
“But, what we don’t do is, when a fight is over and a guy loses, we don’t go in and rip them apart. It’s just not our style. We’re fans. We don’t do it. I think Rogan was reacting to that because that’s our philosophy here."

actually that might be true has Dana insulted a fighter who was finished?He's talking about anderson who won.....
The argument is shitting on fighters who got finished.
Lmao the bald goof trashed cain when he lost to velasquez on the first FOX card in like 30 secs or whatever
Deserve to be called out? It’s just a sport, man. Not the military. You really think guys like Rogan are snowflakes if they don’t appreciate an outsider throwing out disrespect? Stephen wasn’t being real, he was going for a highlight take.
I pray mma doesn’t turning into boxing with self indulgent commentators and shit matchmaking.
So you're saying that this hasn't happened yet?
