I wonder how Dana’s bosses and the shareholders in the company feel about Dana throwing away millions just so he can be petty about GSP. He wanted to return before he did. Only to have Dana lowball him and screw him around because he had his boy McGregor selling like wildfire.
The company that has made it so Jones* can compete dirty to his bones. Even moving a whole card 6 days out to another state at a cost of many millions. Just to let this cheat fight and continue to make money for the UFC.
Yet this petty disgusting dishonest human, Dana keeps one of the biggest earners in company history on the shelf for years. Just because he doesn’t like GSP?
That man is running this shitshow into the ground. And I just wonder how many people see the obvious hypocrisy and stupidity at play here. GSP doesn’t need the money. He makes millions every year from sponsors. And doesn’t spend his money like a drunken sailor. Dana can’t “control” him as he does others and it drives him batshit. So he tries to hurt him the only way he can. By not allowing him to fight at all. But GSP doesn’t really like fighting so that’s not much of a punishment either. Dana can’t win that battle no matter what he does.
Dana’s been treating GSP like crap since Juiced Johny failed to beat him. Khabib is a similar case too imo. Neither guy gives a damn about Dana White or his petty childish games. That’s some great decision making there Dana. I can see all the money NOT rolling in. But after this Jones* debacle I’ve written off ALL legitimacy of the UFC, their belts, and their rankings. Cain at number 7 is just the latest example. I treat it like I treat the WWE now. It’s not a real sport. There is clear corruption and the playing field is not level. But in pro wrestling that’s all part of the backstory. I still watch the UFC. But come on.
The UFC...As unreal as it gets.
GSP fighting is a guaranteed way to make money for a company that has investors. But suddenly making money doesn’t matter??? It’s beyond time for this souless relic Dana White to be sent out to pasture. The company is losing a stronger asset and bigger money maker than Dana tomorrow. One that was the face of the company for longer than Ronda and McGregor put together. But that’s their problem. Sleep with dogs and wake up with fleas.
