What's The Dumbest Thing Dana Has Ever Said?

[_manhattan]

"Ronda Rousey would hurt Floyd Mayweather in a street fight"

"I expect Conor to knock Floyd Mayweather out... Listen, people think that Conor is going to be completely outclassed. Some people are saying that he'll never hit Floyd once.

"I'll tell you this, I just watched him work out last night, he looks phenomenal, he's in great shape. He hits hard and now we're fighting in 8oz. gloves and this is going to be a fight. And anything can happen in a fight.

"Fedor is a farce"

This was said in 2007 when Fedor was still very much in his prime.

Like how fighters have a big book of excuses
Dana has a big book of stupid shit & lies

Reebok Deal:
“It ended up being an absolute home run,” White said. “I love the look, I love the feel of everything that we’ve done with Reebok and uniforms are here to stay.”

“We’ve had a great relationship with Reebok, it’s been good, it’s been good for us, it’s been good for the fighters”

“UFC won’t make a dime off the Reebok deal”

"Fedor demanded that we build a stadium in Russia for him"

 

[PaulieVegas27]

That Fedor was never really that good to begin with.

 

[wh4tttt]

It's low tier in things that Dana has said but it always made me laugh.

 

[AstralPanda]

That Fedor was never really that good to begin with.

He doesn't actually believe that. More likely he was a big closet fedor fan.

Dana was a huge fan of a lot of pride guys

"Do you think Mighty Mouse is the #1 p4p? I think Conor McGregor is the #1 p4p"

"Nate Diaz is not a needler mover"

"Francis Ngannou is not a good person"

"Jon Jones/Amanda Nunes will never headline a ppv"

"Women will never fight in the UFC"

 

[PaulieVegas27]

I know you're correct. BUT....he did say it.

I'm sure he doesn't believe Power Slap has a biggest internet following or gets more YouTube clicks than all other sports combined either, but he did say it.

Probably

I get he’s a promoter and probably genuinely doesn’t believe his own bullshit hype but the power slap comment and neck and neck with soccer just comes off very carny that you can’t believe he would he think nobody would see through that shit. There’s countless other times he gets like this promoting. Other ways are obvious bias with negative/positive over exaggerating fighters he’s doesn’t like, has beef with, really wants to promote someone to the moon.

Majority of the stupid shit he says is when he over promotes though. He’s terrible at it. He insults people’s intelligence as if he thinks majority people are dumb because he can maybe convince a small group of idiots or his dog. It’s not stupid because he actually believe his own bullshit(he doesn’t), it’s because it shows how arrogantly stupid he can get when over promoting.

 

[MidgardSerpent]

"There will never be a women fight in the UFC".

And now we are blessed with 2 to 3 wmma fights going to a split decision every event.

 

[fedorthegoat777]

You could write a book on this.

Tito vs Dana

 

[Pequeño Corey]

The whole Tito boxing match debacle was a chock full of stupidity. Everything from Dana alleging that he used to beat up on Tito in sparring, to actually believing that Tito was ducking him. I guess delusional and stupid overlap sometimes.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

he's a promoter. almost everything he says is incredibly stupid. this is a hard question.

He's not just a pathological liar, but a legitimately dumb man because he lacks the capacity to distinguish between which lies are plausible and which are not. He thinks everyone else is dumber than him.

Don King may have been an extraordinary liar, but he didn't randomly tell you that cockfighting was bigger than soccer.

Dana is a person who couldn't make it through a semester of college - twice. His own mother despised him.

There is no hidden genius. He just hit the friendship lottery with a mob scion. A mob scion that recognized a pathological liar could actually be useful in this particular racket aimed at the worst of society (us scumbag cage fighting fans).

Dana in any other life is a used car salesman and nothing more.

“The UFC is not for sale”
48hrs before WME buys the UFC
