Ok, after being an MMA fan for 18 years, and a forum member for 11 years, I finally have to speak out on Dana.
After polarizing the sport and making it successful, I feel it's time to move Dana out of the spotlight and bring in someone who will help legitimize the surge of making this a bigger sport. Dana just has too many "cutting, edgy qualities."
-Cool, bro.....you say fuck a lot, we get it.
-You wanna tangle with your former fighters and talk endless shit about any other MMA org making any noise.
-You celebrate the demise or buy-out of another MMA org.
-You continuously lie and bend truths concerning pay and longevity of fighters career's
-You've discredited the careers of almost EVERY former UFC great (aside Liddell and Hughes) such as BOTH Shamrocks, Ortiz, Couture, Sylvia, Arlovski, Tanner, Rampage, and even active fighter Vitor Belfort....someone who's like 12-7 in The UFC since the 90's.
-We fans that dont agree with any Zuffa moves are now "fucking idiots." That speaks for itself.
The UFC is so, so much more than Dana White. He is the controversial face of the UFC brand, but overall a cancer to MMA as a sport. I understand that the UFC has to make money and promote the dominance of it's brand, but for God's sake, do it with someone calm, professional and thoughtful like Bjorn Rebney. Bellator may have a weaker brand with (lol) "ZERO VALUE"....but they have a lead man who is a very centered and realistic man....as the UFC's Dana kind of comes off as a rebellious, spoiled teenager with an ego.
