UFC Buyers Trying to Talk Dana White into Staying

A 100 percent sale of the company would mean that Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta, Dana White, Flash Entertainment and all other minority parties would relinquish ownership. However, FloCombat indicates that some of the top bidders are interested in keeping White, the current UFC president, around in a similar promotional role and are willing to give him ownership shares in hopes of persuading him to stay.

It is also unlikely that much of the current day-to-day operations in the UFC would change once a new ownership group assumes control, at least in terms of public perception. Key staff members in the production and public relations departments, as well as matchmakers Joe Silva and Sean Shelby, would likely remain, according to FloCombat.

Jeremy Botter is the GOAT reporter.

They better keep Dana. He's a goof and pretty much only likes guys that stand and bang, but he knows a shitload more about the business and MMA in general than whatever Chinese oligarch is looking to buy the thing.

 

[own1997]

Please keep Dana, it wouldn't be the same without him.

 

[NightwingBJJ]

Stay and let's have an Unleashed Dana White again

 

[Wizzlebiz]

Dana is the horribly fucked up glue that keeps this shit together. Without him ufc is utterly fucked.

 

[FedorRoks]

Time to go, Dana. And take Buffer and Rogan with you.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

Regardless of what I may think of Dana, it would just be plain weird not seeing that big bald fuck.

 

[KONE]

Yes, I want Dana White to stay with the UFC long-term

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

I like Dana. Fuck the haters.

 

[Bmurray]

I enjoy Dana's general attitude and his legitimate passion for MMA

I think others would be safe and bland, and would lose touch with what makes the sport great for fans.

 

[PancraseForever]

UFC without Dana isn't UFC.
UFC without Rogan isn't UFC.
UFC without Buffer isn't UFC.
UFC without Goldie isn't UFC.

Period.

 

[NightwingBJJ]

Yes, I want Dana White to stay with the UFC long-term

Dana White is hilarious. Haaaa

 

[kimchi dog taco]

Dana's bull tactics are no longer needed. Time to call Mexico and bring in the other bald guy

 

[Fight To Win]

I wouldn't mind seeing Dana go and I don't care if he stays either so it's whatever I guess. I'd definitely like to see him humbled just a bit but he did do a lot for the sport and it's all good whatever happens.
