Dana White is a stone cold piece of shit.

Maybe the biggest scumbag in the history of sports, outside actual murderers.

UFC Fight-Pass signs two Promotions that will be doing events in INDIA. A boxing Promotion called BoxingBay and APFC from Anthony Showtime Pettis who is planning to host events across India as per the organisation's latest post. APFC MMA has held events in the United States and in the United Kingdom so far. APFC recently linked up with IPBL in India for a Boxing events in Hyderabad. So both will be mainly boxing helping Dana White find boxing for upcoming Zuffa Boxing promotion.

I’m not a fan of ODH but he’s spot on here. What tko are trying to do isn’t gonna work in boxing anyway. There is no dominant promotion company, fighters have a choice! Boxing is also far bigger globally than in the US, and the vast majority of fights take place outside of the US. Including many of the biggest fights. The best fighters in the world don’t have to sign with tko, and they won’t!

"TKO, funded heavily by Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh and headed by UFC CEO Dana White, is moving to lobby Congress to alter long-existing federal legislation that prohibits promoters from awarding fighters belts and ranking fighters, as TKO plans to do with its new organization that aims to launch next year."

So wait... the main controversial amendment is to permit TKO to rank fighters and award their own belts? And people are against this?

Jesus christ there's a lot of things to hate Dana about, but this isn't one of them.

Here's the full act: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/4624/text

I dunno, i've heard horror stories in boxing, including fighters own managers betting against them or poisoning them. Probably worse than I can think of right now but no one is clean in the fighting sports, no one.

It's nice to see Eddie distancing himself from that bald twat.

Yes, nothing could possibly go wrong with that model.

How many people in history have had their own mother write a book about how much of a piece of shit they are?
