Dana White was asked about Islam's popularity....

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Dana White thinks Islam can only be loved by Muslims. He thinks New York was cheering for Islam because they are all Muslims.
Remember Dana never wanted Islam as champ.









Dana thinks this guy is a star lol


Looking forward to this fight

Some sherdude said JDM reminded him of Nate Diaz in the first face off and he was on point, JDM is like the reincarnation of Nate in that final face off.

 

[oski]

Did Dana really just say NY is like a Muslim country?

Dana and co partying in NY already...


They got that shit in Muslim countries, Goofy?

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I wonder if the “Muslim money” will ruin Islam like it did Khabib?!

Repeating myself ... but the UFC has stopped PROMOTING FIGHTERS ever since Conor and Khabib (and GSP and Jones) got too big for them to control.

It's been literally 10 years that the UFC does not even try to build new stars.

They want fighters who promote themselves and build their own following on social media and the UFC could not be fucking bothered to build up their own fighters as stars. They only promote their own BRAND. They sell "watching UFC" and don't give a fuck about the fighters and literally the business plan is targetting to create a scenario where the fighters are replaceable and the fans will pay for the brand name regardless of who is fighting.

It sucks.

agreed UFC is dying

Unfortunately not.

They are pretty consistently failing forward, doing a shit job and being rewarded for it.

Dana White the scholar of Boston’s scummy public school system.

Or could it be that Islam is just a fan favourite ? Regardless of his religious background. Khabib fought in New York several times as well and never had that kind of "pop".

 

[Substance Abuse]

This is going to end well...

 

[Ashslog]

yeah, Muslim country my ass

You are damned if you do promote stars also.

Why does this less skilled guy get more of a push!!!

They are only promoting him because the UFC is biased towards Shia muslims!!

Of course they stopped promoting him because he voted x!!!!

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

I thought New York was full of a**holes

 

[Just Creed]

Well...Muslims do seem to blindly follow no matter what. Not sure if a good thing or a bad thing in this case but I don't think it's deniable

Tom was getting a push to be fair. Not on the scale of Khabib and Conor but he was.

Most companies don't invest money to have to pay their employees more. For some reason they believe the ROI isn't worth it anymore. If I had to guess, the promotional push they gave Conor, Nate, and Khabib was fueled by a desire to cash in on the sale of WME.

I get not wanting to spend money pushing guys, but to be so out of touch and not following metrics especially when fighters become stars with out your push, is a good sign you are not doing your job and are not interested at all.

We loved Khabib here in NY. He was very popular.

He even did sold out seminars here and that was back in 2015 before he returned from his injury, and when he was supposed to fight Tony, which was changed to Max, they did a presser here, and it was staunchly pro Khabib up in this bitch. And not just the russians.

he literally said "and also you have to look at the fact that Islam is looked at as one of the best ever."
