Media Lookin' for a fight (Dana doing rich people things).

[El Fernas]

In the latest episode Dana White has Din Thomas and Matt Serra do "cold plunging" like its some extreme thing they have never done...i find this hard to believe, i have seen a lot ot fighters (and boxers) do ice baths, this is nothing for Serra or Thomas, isnt it?

 

[Corrado Soprano]

Never forget that Din Thomas got wobbled by a backhanded b-slap at a press conference.

Tbh this is a fair cutoff for prospect especially today. If someones in their 20s in MMA they are young and on the rise if someones in their 30s they are old and either at their peak or on the decline.

At HW maybe someone like 31 or 32 would still be a prospect cause I think their average old is much older.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Dana still trying to be a social media "star"

 

[Luthien]

Dana is having his midlife crisis

 

[Luthien]

Not a prospect if you don't act excited about having your brains scrambled for 11K while praising Dana

He's giving me more Goofapotamus vibes in this one actually.

Most prospects are younger than thirty. On average it isn't a crazy take. Dana being an absolute dickhead and a disrespectful piece of shit to fighters is common, however.

What would that make Erick Silva then?

What would that make Erick Silva then?

An old-timey prospector?

And the second paragraph is why there's no point in making an arbitrary age cut-off. Why 30 exactly, aside from the fact that it's a nice, even number? So a 29 year old can still be a prospect? What is a "prospect" anyway, is it some kind of official designation that has an effect on matchmaking or something like that?

I don't remember exactly how old Ngannou was at the time but he was definitely considered a prospect at or around 30. Now if we were talking a sport like football then no, there are no 30 year old prospects, but neither are there at 29 or 28...

 

[Fox by the Sea]

He's right.

DIdnt used to be the case of course and I think Dana himself is very much responsible for that.

You used to get plenty of big name HW's switching to MMA in their mid 20's or younger but the UFC tend to be far less proactive in signing people up young than the rival orgs they put out of business so they can maximise profits.

 

[Xoleth]

Sorry, Murzakanov!

 

[B ville Famous]

I believe Alex Pereira was 34 when he joined the UFC, untested in MMA which made him a prospect.

 

[DkMacaw]

I guess it depends on mileage, but being at your physical peak usually means you are not a prospect but a contender instead. Those guys he was looking at were more like journeymen. If you have somebody coming from another sport like Yoel or freaks of nature like Ngannou then it's a whole different world.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Dana even doubles down on his Cantenders series. ha ha ha
