Media Movsar Evloev Blasts Dana White "He Was Watching Football During My Fight, Im Not Here To Amuse HIM"

[ferrisjso]

I mean, he's the only top-5 fighter with no finishes in the UFC (including the female divs). He couldn't put away a single journeyman he faced.

Almost nobody, especially Dana, wants to see a guy like that win the belt, so he better make something fun happen over his next few fights, or he gets canned after the first misstep.

Fun fact a fighters goal is to try and win. Not to try and get finishes. Fighters are not obligated to try and entertain you. You are watching a sport they are not putting on the circus to entertain you.

Entertaining the audience is the sole reason for the existence of any major professional sport, including MMA.

Fighters are not obligated to try and entertain you.

Of course not. And promotions are not obligated to offer them better contracts once the previous ones expire.

Sure but a guy who has no support because his style is boring is going to have a tougher time obtaining the grand prize. That being said I really enjoyed his last fight and want him in the mix.

Dana has never particularly liked nor understood MMA, nor does Ari - this should be obvious to everyone.

He likes 'crazy' brawls and knockouts. But he has never progressed beyond a bar casual's understanding of what is in front of him. Hence PowerSlap. This is the version of 'MMA' he has always personally wanted to watch.

He demotes and degrades fighters as part of a deliberate strategy to keep them down, but also because he fundamentally doesn't care about trashing a sport he doesn't actually like.

You could argue that Dana is the greatest boxing promoter of our generation - except when he is actually trying and failing to directly promote boxing. Because he has shat all over his own product so much that he has helped ensure boxing's continued dominance of combat sports in North America despite the UFC's massive financial advantages over boxing promoters.

lol at boxing dominance. Boxing is dead, while UFC is booming. UFC is the new boxing, it took over.

 

[ipowerslapmywife]

2 of the 3 there are watching boxing, lol. What mma fight were they ignoring?

Even dana doesn’t watch WMMA

 

[VAfan]

yeah, good move slick. see how that works out for ya.

 

[wh4tttt]

He'll wonder why this happens the next event he is in.

"To start this evenings early pre lim matches... Movsar Evloev vs..."

 

[Xoleth]

Yea lil buddy no one likes crotch sniffers. Get with the times. Dana treats these people exactly how they should be treated.

Yeah, Usman & Colby. Dana certainly doesn't like them. That's why he gave them rematches and title fights.

Rose/Carla 2, I believe. So it's understandable in that case

I think it's Rose against the Chinese girl with the red shorts

Telling the guy who decides if you fight for a title or not that you’re not there to entertain him is a brilliant career move. The UFC is selling entertainment.
