Fighters, etc., who will talk smack about Dana after the sale

[Not A Real Fan]

How many fighters and other MMA personalities are going to come out of the woodwork talking shit about Dana, Lorenzo, etc., after Zuffa sells?

What will be especially pathetic is when folks who kissed Zuffa's ass start talking shit about them and maybe even outright lie.

Dana is a piece of shit and I told him too - a MMA reporter

I never kissed his ass - a fighter who has an on-air gig on FS1

Dana is my boss but he crossed the line so I got in his face and he backed down - a mid-level fighter

 

[bigbangspiritbomb]

Yeah. I respect the Diaz bros. They never kiss up.

Rogan toots RR then blasts her hype. He is brutal

 

[Not A Real Fan]

Those who toe the Zuffa line now will feel stupid after the sale.

I could totally see Rogan talk shit on his podcast.

Dana was such a dick! What he did to Ariel was unacceptable. Every time I saw the guy, I'd let him know what a fuckup he was.

So you don't think Dana White will retain a position in the company he helped build after the sale?

 

[Glove]

 

[Bmurray]

Lots.

The irony being that if Dana & Fertitas hadn't gotten into the biz, we wouldn't know who 85% of them are

 

[DatWall]

Projecting much?

 

[Not A Real Fan]

Projecting much?

How so? I don't work for Zuffa.

I just anticipate all these tough guys conveniently emerging after the sale.

 

[Bokelj]

Doubt many will. Talking Shit about a former employer would not be a good sign towards a new one.

That being said. Rogan. He said he would leave with a sale.

 

[Myrddin Wild]

Lots.

Well said,

People wouldl be coming out of the woodwork with stories & saying how they were afraid to say anything… but then they’ll have new management f*cking with them & will have to zip their lips about them. Lol...

If they did a full sell... most likely the key staff (Dana included) may be contracted to stay on for a couple of yearz... so it might not be the sandstorm we'd expect.

But Zuffa will likely only sell a "piece" of the pie... while remaining the majority shareholderz... like they did in 2010 to Flash Entertainment... so I doubt we'll see any of that anyway.

 

[Snowy1]

Rogan probably will before anyone else.

"Pathetic" is a really...interesting...choice of words.

I would call it "telling".

When someone dicks you over, but you can't say anything, because they control your financial future - and then suddenly you're free to talk, because they don't have control over you anymore

It seems to me that saying what you've been thinking all along, but not free to say, is entirely reasonable and very informative.


Now, sure, there'll be people pretending they weren't licking Dana's boots when they were, and that's something different.

But I'm looking forward to fighters and employees maybe thinking they can speak their mind (although they may not, because the new owners may want to do things the exact same way and not look favorably on ripping it, either).

You sound rustled. Hopefully this gif of Dana crying will make you feel better.

I wasn't precise but I was thinking of these types rather than those who did not want to rock the boat.

Dana would still own a percent of the company. He puts in one call and those fighters get canned.

All signs point to them selling 100%
They hired G-S to take full ownership bids
