Has Dana ever promised something a 100% and broken it?

[Croaker]

Source?

I thought after they brought Pride, they contractually owed some people fights (like Mark Hunt). I thought the story was that they tried to pay Mark Hunt to not fight, and Mark Hunt demanded to fight out his contract.

Mark Hunts contract wasn't through PRIDE IIRC, it was through K-1 or something and the TV station. A bunch of the contracts for PRIDE weren't legally binding or something like that.

It’s hard to trust a man who spends more money on blackjack than he pays his entire undercard.

Is he using the same old excuse "the sport is still young"?

 

[BEATDOWNS]

He promises with a 100% certainty that Jones-Aspinall will happen.

Do we have any data on Dana saying that before?

"Woman will never compete in the UFC"





as he is fully decked out in Nikey gear while his "Athletes" have to wear shitty Reebok. lmfao

Must have had more than one fight left then because he got submitted by Big Sexy in his UFC debut in just over a minute and he was already on a 5 fight losing streak. Then he went on a 4 fight win streak, crazy. Ending up with a perfect .500 record at 8-8-1-1 in teh UFC.

Why didnt he?

Because it's beneficial to the UFC to have them. He's actually good at business, unlike most people who criticize him.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

He literally said they would never do female MMA fights in the UFC.

I could see the question being Dana when will we ever see gay men in the UFC? lol still haven't seen one yet.

Dana doesn't usually make promises as in "I promise that..." But he makes emphatic statements that suggest a finality, that his decision is final. For example, he said that women would never be allowed to fight in the UFC.

People change their minds. People change their opinions and stances as new information is processed. Fact of life. It doesn't mean a promise is broken every time.

Saying "I changed my mind" after an empathic and supposedly final statement is just another way of saying "my word is worth nothing".

Men don't change their minds on their principles.

While I agree with you in some cases, it's not across-the-board true. One has to be willing to adapt when faced with new information that they lacked before. One has to be willing to admit that they were wrong sometimes, and not stick to their guns when holes in their thinking are exposed. People would never grow, learn, and mature if they refused to change their stances every time.

I don't remember the exact details but it definitely seemed like he welched on giving Belal the next title shot in favor of Colby

 

[Bubzeh]

Lying is not in Dana White's DNA. We all know this.

 

[SaltedVinegarfootstomps]

He swore he would bring an end to illegal streaming.

 

[Frode Falch]

He promised women would NEVER fight in the UFC

Probably not his fault

He promised to "make it up" all the fans that spent coin on Anderson vs Maia at UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi

Dana actually said: “I apologize, and I will – I don’t know how yet – but I will make this up to the fans who bought this [expletive] tonight.”

 

[rearnakedchoke]

The price on ufc ppvs would not go up, just weeks before the price went up.

 

[Tweak896]

I don't remember a big fight he guaranteed 100% will happen, he's usually like "we're getting close". I don't remember Fedor/Brock, GSP/Silva or others being guaranteed. You would think if Dana lied about big fights all the time there would be tons of articles.

You shouldn't even count the business shit because he was outranked by either Fertittas or WME.

 

[AmalgamOpus]

He says alot.

So he had to lie because an older boy made him.

Exactly. This is why I never change my mind.
