Media UFC: "Dana White fought tooth and nail to stage fights, further endearing him to MMA fans"

[Tapatio]

Tito has to hand him a beating before he dies.. Peace of Mind.

He would beat Uncle Dana into the living death!

 

[Simian Raticus]

Even if he did, he should probably be judged on whether it was a sensible endeavour to begin with.

Dedication to a dumb idea shouldn’t be endearing, in an ideal world.

 

[King in the North]

No I just think he is more of a pink stupid greedy asshole than before.

 

[Mangar]

Can't get more endearing when your already at maximum. Danabless

 

[POWER2]

Dana White was willing to endanger many people's lives and mental well-being, for his pursuit of profit, and even mentioned himself that this event would be huge since other sporting events were all canceled.

Yes, Dana White insisted to put on a sporting event during a time of Global Pandemic and Crisis, where people are being turned away from Hospitals due to a lack of facility, and being heartbreakingly told to go home and die.

Anyways, that's just my opinion. Let's put it up on a poll. What say you?

Is the Red Good more endearing to you after the stunt he pulled- being a stubborn child and refusing to acknowledge the severity of the situation, or are you grateful that Dana White was doing this for the fans?

Sweden still doesn't have a lockdown (kids go to school, bars, restaurants, clubs open) and the situation in the US is way worse than Sweden (just look at new york).

 

[Joe]

Dana is a dumb ass if he thought he could do fights without the state not finding out

 

[ColombianFist]

I THOUGHT EVERYONE HERE KNEW THIS, yet they're still drink Dana's kool-aid

 

[Paladin]

Disney took food out of Those fighters kids’ mouths.

Seriously?

Schools are still open in Sweden???

 

[Craig Hogg]

Not surprised, Disney/ESPN would have received a lot of bad PR if this had gone ahead.

 

[TAK47]

What would have made Dana more endearing is to keep paying all his independent contractors who cant make a living right now - instead of risking their health.

But the UFC has a great system in place to exploit their fighters so fuck them, right.

Someone was gonna go to JAIL, If ESPN (DISNEY) opted to televise this shit...and someone on the island got critically ill, or worse - died from Corona.

Its a step closer to ancient rome gladiator fights were you dont give 2cents about the fighters if the spectacle is there.

Maybe Dana can buy in some corrupt small african country and promote bloodsport and snuff events.
I guess that is the next stage to give him a fix and some money.

How about talking with the Zulu King about that or the new Rain Queen of South africa when she gets crowned. These small isles of tribal governement are very advanced in every aspect.

 

[Pingu]

Seriously?

Schools are still open in Sweden???

Not universitys and stuff like that. But yea, day care and elementary schools etc are still open. No real restrictions so far as far as bars goes, I guess clubs are closed down because of the 50 people maximum guideline but other then that it's all buisness as usual pretty much.

 

[SamboPunch]

Every single person bitching about Dana being reckless holding this event would have been watching it...

Irony?

Irony if someone purchases the card and gives them money after bitching yeah.... watching it for free? Not so much.

So the Virus just casually decided to skip Sweden???

No such luck im afraid. Same growth curve as italy had but it is, at least for now, mostly located in Stockholm.

Yo, to be so tone deaf to send out a tweet bragging about themselves is insane.
It’s a tactic straight out of Orange Skulls playbook, declare a victory in the face defeat, up is down, wrong is right, lies are the truth, etc.
And it’s fascinating that they didn’t even try to put on a face or front like they would at least give a portion of the proceeds to the victims, give a speech about how much it’s impacted the company with anecdotes, etc. At least appear to act as if a something more than an inconvenience to your access to the trough is at stake. Didn’t Dana get like $30 million of the $300 million loan taken out to pay dividends to investors recently? How much more do you need that you’d risk lives and displace people when they need to be at home with family, and he’s already moved on to the next 80’s trench coat hustle, Fight Island, along with some bootleg Rolexs, Alpinas, and gold chains.
Shameful.

Sweden is a country of only 10 million spread over a much larger area than NYC. It is also ranked one of the cleanest nations in the world.

It is very similar to Norway (which has 5 million).

Norway was quicker to shut down everything.

Norway
Deaths: 108
Critical: 70

Sweden
Deaths: 793
Critical: 719

Stern lockdowns work, but they are expensive.
