Media Recap of Dana White’s post-fight press conference

[Corrado Soprano]

-Islam and Holland got $50k for performance of the night. Islam vs Dustin was fight of the night (another $50k)

-Dana says Jon Jones is the GOAT of any combat sport.

-Dana completely ignored Francis Ngannou and said Cyril Gane was the best HW in the world when Jon fought him.

-UFC media is extremely soft and don’t question any of Dana’s remarks. It’s similar to North Korean media and Dana is the supreme leader.

-Sounded disappointed about how Strickland-Costa turned out, was expecting more of a war.

-Wants Tony Ferguson to retire.

-Says Islam hasn’t voiced interest in fighting for the welterweight championship.

-Said Jones’s return after 3+ years was greater than Muhammad Ali’s return after exile.

-Wants Islam vs Tsarukyan next.

-Downplays McGregor partying leading up to the Chandler fight. Says videos getting posted could be old.

-Says Nick Diaz aggressively reached out to the UFC and wanted to fight. Nick asked for a meeting with Dana and they got together and booked a match.

-He wants Jon vs Stipe in New York later this year.

-Dana thinks Islam fights exactly like Khabib. No media members questioned this statement.

-Calls Jon Jones an active fighter.

-Dana says Islam fighting for BMF is possible despite the fact that Islam got offended by the word ‘MF’ and said the BMF title is a joke.

The number of stupid questions Dana gets asked is just mindboggling.

"Who do you think wins the boxing match between Chael and Anderson?"

This is the media room they’ve systematically cultivated.

Stupidity breeds stupidity, it’s not by accident, it’s by design.

Did he mention soccer at all ?

This one had me cracking up nearly spitting out my coffee.

It just reads so ridiculous that it is funny.

Did he mention soccer at all ?

Why would he? Powerslap is already the most watched sport worldwide with UFC following closely in second. No need to even mention these less important sports.

Couldn't tell you the last time I listened to one of windbags pressers. Dana's all in on the misinformation gimmick. If he wants to insult people's intelligence he should just go home and yell at his wife.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

I love how Dana tries to act so tough yet can only handle softball questions at every conference

He gets dizzy if you ask him hard questions

My favorite part about your recap was how you actually quoted what Dana said instead of making yet another "I hate Dana White" post here. I can't wait for you to add the next original "I hate Jon Jones" post.

 

[1BadMF]

I have a lot of respect for Dana.

Bring back the post fight conferences where they had all the fighters in the room together with Dana.

Even though Ariel Helwani cried (come on, your kids are going to see that) I do miss their post-event interviews.

- he’d be blown away if Putin attended an event.

Proving once again that Donald Trump is in Putin’s pocket.

 

[BJJ4Tone]

Dana says that Jones is still p4p #1 over Islam...

Dana ALSO says that Power Slap is the #1 sport and most significant achievement since man started walking upright.

Yeaaahh.... I think I'll go with Islam on this one.






Let the p4p king EAT!!!

[SCTwins]

Dana should've told Diaz to retire.

 

[Pechan]

Hey! at least we didn't get any "journalist" asked to get branded by Dana in this one!

 

[DragoonC]

More muscle
Less red
The same amount of goof

 

[FeelingFroggy]

Did he actually say that about Putin? Timestamp?
