Media Dana White walks back rematch comments (kinda)

[Goatenstein]

Hopefully these MMA losers are phased out now that they have access to WWE-contracted legitimate combatants.

I would hate to be a ufc fighter its bad enough the pay isnt that very good but now even after
you've dominated a division AND GAVE AN an opportunity to a person who wouldnt of gotten it
otherwise .... Only for the fans to slander your name call u an animal lover, cringe etc etc. and hail
some crazy hateful dude as the hero. Man screw that. KIDS DO BOXING OR PLAY ANOTHER SPORT. Pays you better
and theres more respect.

IZZY WAS WINNING HIS ALEX FIGHT before he got dropped. he then avenged it. This was the first
fight he truly lost bell 2 bell. its only right to see to see if it was a fluke.
What else fight do you wanna see? nobody wanna see ddp vs strickland. its boring. jared is boring.
khamzat and paula are cool, but we saw what izzy did to paula.

you cry all that about honor humility respect and fighters doing this and that But you
guys wont even uphold the honor system and allow izzy his rematch. The instant rematch benefits sean
anyways. its not only his biggest fight but he figured izzy out.

MORAL OF THE STORY. BE SELFISH !! Screw the fans. Pick your fights and only fight twice a year.

I just wanted to say I like your proficiency in the art of misdirection, kudos…

When a dominant champ falls Sherdog performs pile on the rabbit

is normal

 

[JustBleed69]

I love how he calls them "stupid fucking websites" and what "stupid fucking things they wrote" when all they did was literally post a quote from Dana himself lol.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Dana was just emotional and/or just now saw Strickland's social media numbers

 

[GOATtalks]

Other way around for me, have Izzy/DDP and have Sean fight the winner of Khamzat/Costa

What’s your reasoning to rate Khamzat or Costa above DDP?

Costa is 1-2 in his last 3 fights and his last win was Luke.

Khamzat last fight at MW was GM3 like 3 years ago.

While DDP just beat #1 contender Whittaker and he’s on 6 fight win streak, 3 of them against ranked opponents. DDP has earned his shot

 

[Dick Trickle]

Let Strickland pick - the Izzy fight is probably his biggest potential payday and he's potentially at more risk of losing the belt to some of these less popular killers at the top of the division. If he wants it, I don't see a problem.

 

[ocfightfan]

Dana has a lot of fights to make, and any number of things can derail any plan he comes up with. Being upset with him because he changed his mind or got squishy over a matchup is dumb.

But for the UFC they don't want to waste Izzy DDP on a non-title fight. Doubt this happens.

Izzy fans in complete meltdown mode
wow

 

[headmunt]

Only for the fans to slander your name call u an animal lover, cringe etc etc.

There's a solution to this. You're a public figure, don't act like a weirdo and open yourself to such scrutiny. I can't tattoo a penis on my forehead and then cry foul when people call me dickhead.

What else fight do you wanna see? nobody wanna see ddp vs strickland.

That's exactly what the majority want to see. The UFC could give Adesanya a winnable fight (Whittaker or Cannonier) and it doesn’t matter who wins the title fight because both options are a good story they can hype. If Izzy can't win his gimmie, the division can move forward with a new name.

Seconded

I read your mentally brain damaged comment before looking at your username then realized that the total nonsense you just typed is very fitting with your telling username

 

[The Schmoop]

DDP/Strickland

let Izzy chill for a minute. He’s been a pretty active champion. Let some fights play out while izzy recovers and go from there.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

Should be...

Izzy fights winner of Khamzat/Costa
Sean fight DDP

Simple

Yo Dana sign me up for match maker

You'd undoubtedly do a better job. I've never been a fan of UFC matchmaking dating back to when Joe Silva was with the UFC.

 

[Lawrence]

Nah

DDP vs Strickland

winner of that fights Khamzat if he steamrolls Costa

Izzy rematches Cannonier

I like this best...

I think another possible scenario is that Izzy takes the better part of a year off and is handed a title shot upon return. Fair or unfair, at least with the scenario the division moves forward for a year with fresher matchups.

 

[Blonde Oliveira]

Dana: "I think we do the rematch."

3 days later:
"I didn't even say that. Typical fuckin' scumbag media."
*shaking his head whilst smiling psychotically*
"Fuckin' scumbags."

 

[Tweak896]

I mean Dana jumps the gun sometimes, people act like what he says is like a dictator saying how it's going to go and takes his words as absolutes. Dana probably looks at the business side first and knows rematches sell the most especially if it's a big upset or shock. I personally think rematches jam up divisions, but from a profit side it's hard to say Strickland/Izzy 2 won't sell more than Strickland/DDP.

 

[mudrubble]

Izzy fans in complete meltdown mode
wow

It is kind of humorous how partial we can be. When we are dissing fighters (by calling them hateful, etc.) we don't notice and don't take stock of how it affects them. But when others diss fighters we support (by calling them animal abusers, which is funny in context) we get personally hurt, lol.

Izzy put out the video himself of him poking the dog cock and he did many of the things that make it hard to appreciate him as a personality. Surely he can accept that some ppl don't like these things he's done. If I put on pearls and French tips, I MUST know I'm going to get some revulsion back my way from men.

But some of his fans see this as an injustice. Btw, I'm a big Izzy supporter and always have been. I find him cringe and problematic as a personality, but he has a good heart and means well. Almost the EXACT things I'd say about Strickland, tbh. But I've supported Izzy each time out even though I wish he'd stop the femme shit. It just repulses most men, for good reasons, and I am among them. That said, I support the guy and wish him well.

When you're as truthful, honourable, and upstanding as Dana is, you sit at the casino table with your two hookers, and scroll through the texts and posts from wife and kids and such and.... see..... someone saying you said something you said. And, as you slide your hand down the prostitute's thigh, AWAY from the lunchbox (this is killing your vibe) you think "these reporters are the lowest form of human immorality. Scum. There I said it.... they are scum!"

The man speaks from his pristine moral position. What else could he call them?? If you were as holy as Dana, you would tell your lovely hooker what scum the MMA media is too!

 

[StonedLemur]

Izzy was never my friend.
