I like Dana, I always have.
People just try to put so much bullshit out there it's ridiculous really, like anything and everything they'll make up some conspiracy in regards to Dana.
Silly things such as "He's trying to get fighters beat" .... how can he get fighters beat, they're in weight classes, they get fights within their weight class where they're all competing to be the best, how can he get fighters beat, only they can when they get into the cage lol
But that's just one stupid thing of many, the guy also works 24/7 365 to bring us fantastic fights, it's non stop and the dude probably barely sleeps.
He also delivers week in and week out and he is actually fair to the fighters too no matter what people say we see it a lot, there's a reason so many fighters have been with the UFC and Dana for years so that tells you everything you need to know and when people bring up the pay thing well 1. they don't know what they are/aren't being paid, 2. They choose to sign with the UFC and they know what they're getting and 3. When they are hot (IE Masvidal) they get paid more and meet their demands, business works by supply and demand and it's been like that since the day of man.
Fans ALWAYS hate on the boss, WWE fans shit on Vince McMahon (and he's done loads of things such as cut out the PPV model for them), Bosing fans hate Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren, football fans more times than not hate the manager of their clubs, it's just how it is but it makes no sense to me cause those guys are bring the fans the thing they love and working 24/7 for it.
Truth is, it's just a lack of gratitude and respect, sure you might not agree with everything they do, that's impossible but Dana is actually very good and I've always liked the dude.
