back when Dana and Ariel were besties🥺

Wish it still was that way, these interviews are gold

"number one Gary Shaw is moron" XDDD

This was Dana in his prime

The sport was way smaller than it is now.

@MrBrenman21 What happened to those fans? Did the UFC do anything wrong?

[@madmartigan3921]

This was before Dana turned red.

[@tysswe1]

they always smirks when the interview starts.

[@vanso514]

"Number one, Gary Shaw's a moron.." HAHAHAHAH I knew he was going to say something like that.

[@mailtimewithaustin6988]

This is Dana in peak form.

[@alexandercrush]

Before Dana hated him.

[@traxfan32]

I have heard some people claim the ufc fixes fights. I was like are you crazy? the ufc has no need to fix fights they have enough fighters to let it go naturally.

[@DaRealFiberOptix]

fuckin dana is a beast

[@CitizenEraseddd]

dana telling it like how it is. gotta love the guy!

[@aznsensation70]

dana white is my hero

[@Stefanhaukur1998]

Still ?

[@cwelsh4]

I thought it was funny when Dana said, " Let me tell you something about Bob Arum." I love when he goes on these rants. So many morons blast and criticize Dana White. Deep down, those morons know that they would all love to have his job. Dana White is not right about everything he says, but I'd say most of the things he says are right on the money.

[@slimjim5392]

[@Melia_67]

This is vintage Dana 😂

[@angelo8349]

Props to Dana for giving Omigawa his bonus even though he "lost".

[@stew_stervich]

Dana and Bob beef go way back.

[@cashmasterjamess]

Needs it’s own PPV

So many memes were made from this amazing

[@earl12121]

This brought back some real nostalgia

[@panaxREVIVED]

This is a great interview. Dana talking some smack. I love it. =D

[@aWildNelby]

Herb Dean is awesome. I got my picture taken with him at the Boston UFC convention and it made my day.

[@thunder3135]

i met dana and ariel at the ufc 129 , such a nice guys ... got a picture with both of them :)

[@swhite6]

@ianhudon what are those? never heard of them.

[@philipmcauley]

Lmao I like the way the camera zooms into Danas face when he goes off.

[@satswa]

@steady2wheels its got to do with monopolizing a business, where you try and wipe out your competition, so that you can do pretty much do what you want. happened with microsoft when they were practically the only operating system in every PC/laptop, etc. and then they had to split the company and stuff.. hope that was helpful :)

[@Jeremyramone]

great interview ariel, cheers ol chap

[@swhite6]

@ianhudon thanks!

[@Doehini]

I’ve been on a spree watching Dana’s freak outs

[@nuyjin]

I love how Dana neglected to answer the last question even though he was asked twice.

[@NarutoUzumaki-ci6fo]

Omg dana is lgend bizness man

[@YGnoRMSter]

what really pisses me on is that you can't even watch full fights of UFC aaaaages after the live events here on youtube.... are they still getting deleted or what? because there are STILL people outthere who cant watch these live due to missing tv channels and stuff...

[@djpunk555]

The way Dana is blasting those boxing people is TOO funny.

[@samcotton]

UFC 140 - DANA VS SHAW

[@Gurpreet25]

@safatheman The difference is that rule isn't very known and hes known for being very young into the sport as well. He did do something illegal but he was contesting that those illegal elbows didn't impact the outcome of the fight as the toss was the reason why hamil was unable to continue. Oh well it doesn't really matter, the consensus see him still as undefeated :D.

[@Werdxp]

LOL this is hilarious every time I watch it.

[@swhite6]

@spaniardmale77 its not like every fighter can be top-tier fighter, not every fighter can have GSP's popularity. I was aware of everything you informed me of there and agree those are beneficial to the fighters, but im specifically talking about the amount of money fighters get to walk in and fight excluding endorsements and bonuses. For example, if Hominick and Aldo didn't get FOTN at 129, win or lose Hominick was walking away with $6000, which is absolute shit for a co-main event.

[@CALLETANO77]

Hmmmmm both of these guys have girls name!!!! Interesting..

[@td202beats7]

hahaha anyone know if bob arum has been asked about the ufc selling for 4.5 billion? i needa see his reaction lol

[@MRBp2024]

UFC is a monopoly of MMA. They even have a UFC belt. Boxing has 100's of promoters across the world and the sanctioning body isn't owned by the company(i.e UFC). Boxing has 4 world sanctioning bodies, 4 belts and any promoters fighters can fight for it as long as they climb the sanctioning bodies rankings.

[@KillSpreeGaming]

Yes Dean, I like hearing Dana white giving the best ref the respect he deserves

[@BreezyFoSheezy2010]

UFC should give us more free fights

[@youartoyube]

@nizepart0519 to be honest I'm not a huge GSP fan. Hes fights are mostly very boring. But he and hes couches understand to put a gameplan that works. Hes very technical while Diaz is more of a brawler I'd say (havn't seen many of hes fights though). Let's see :)

[@0910dc]

@Tzesty8 definately, well said

[@swhite6]

@ianhudon lmfao, sarcasm bro. I was poking fun at your spelling mistake. I know too much about the ufc, all i do with my life is research it and train. The fight nights are shitty cards though, (don't get me wrong they are great to watch for free) but as far as name caliber goes, only about 50% of the PPV events live up to being worth my $50.

[@mmafyasco]

@Teddybear419 but then he took an arrow to the knee ?

[@youartoyube]

@swhite6 all UFC events should be free and they should make their money by ads and sponsers...

[@conner1ize]

with great success comes great criticism, dont sweat dana we love you

Umm no..youre a joke

Dana laying the smackdown. Lol. Love the guy.

[@Stefanhaukur1998]

Still love him ?

[@coolmartcola]

wow...what has floyd done....so dana is basically saying that the nevada shouldn't get the license...come on...

[@romes98ify]

im a big mma fan BUT the way mma is set up is good for the fans and the ufc, but the fighters are gonna get ripped off. Now if u want to make decent money in mma u have to sign a contract with a zuffa owned promotion, either ufc or stikeforce, If they dont offer u a decent contract where are u gonna go? The ufc pays its superstars good money in order to keep the other fighters under control, because any change would have to be supported by the big names for it to be effective.

[@MentalGains]

the mayweather fight will be in Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, Texas

[@DjMik101]

2 events a month: 1 free 1 ppv

[@buktomsin]

@simplelife008 yee

[@LuigiTheItalian]

You can tell Helwani is trying to poke the bear and I get that. Makes it very entertaining and it's fun to see how Dana White reacts.

[@jerodirwin66]

$29.99 - $39.99 PPV! make it happen!

[@JamesG12]

Thumbs up if you think the following would be the greatest scenario for the UFC. Silva beats Okami, then GSP beats Diaz, all the while the UFC legalizes MMA in New York. St. Pierre vs Silva in 2012 at Madison Square Gardens!!!

[@SuperSonic_868]

@ablackguyonweed If Carwin couldn't hold down JDS, i don't think Cain would be able to. Junior got taken down but popped right up. We'll see what happens, it should be a good fight

[@mitchellbuchanan6302]

when he goes #1 i knew it was roast season.

[@MentalGains]

@0910dc i agree, the people that want ufc events to be free are the ones that watch it illegally on there PC.

[@Jamedia66]

@secret212000 Man I understand your point and that you are passionate about it but the reality is that UFC athletes don't get near the cut that other athletes, or talent of most kinds for that matter, take home with regards to the numbers that it generates. Some of these guys are stars and they don't make star figures because this business has not yet evolved and in a sense they are being taken advantage of, even if they have been given this opportunity.

[@petercab88]

after nam phan "lost" to leonard garcia, every judge who scored that, should have been fired and never allowed to score any kind of combat sport again

[@enesog]

winer of Strke Force Tournament vs UFC Champion !!!!

[@Inediblehulk]

@StinkyPenisCheese You may want to give it a try. You might feel better. And yes, I get your point that we pay Spike with our time, memory space and (if we're easily persuaded) beer, burger and man-perfume money. But for most, "free" means "lower number on cable bill". Personally, I watch all my MMA illegally online, so of course I'd rather commercial-free. But I can appreciate the appeal of not subscribing to a specialty package for one show every couple of months.

[@nnnbbbmmm79]

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but we are on top of the world.

[@youartoyube]

@bigXmoreno3 indeed :)

[@blkart15]

De la Hoya had nothing to say cause he invested in AFFLICTION and you all know that bombed!

[@xabovethisworldx]

Fully support what Dana said.

[@mario6sic6]

i say if cain isnt back in time get the lesnar dos santos fight back on!

[@BeLikeWater1000]

I love Dana, always have but he seemed to be deflecting that question about wheher or not ufc violated anti-trust laws.

[@breezeblock9145]

i love dana white

[@Stefanhaukur1998]

Still do ?

[@someperson111]

@ChrisSousaPortugal 1. They spent 7 minutes of an 11 minute video on it. That's not over exaggerating a thing.

[@someperson111]

@ChrisSousaPortugal They spent the entire video on it bro, I clicked on an MMA video, I don't want to hear about boxing.

[@TheMortalMonk]

Wow Dana White really went off on those guys.

[@xabovethisworldx]

@swite6 boxing cards don't have 13 fights on a fight night.boxing has been around for hundreds of years

[@theguybelowmefarted]

@docsixshot That can only mean one thing... they're the same person....

[@gtvsoccr]

dana would be amazing in the WWE

[@ronniehaley729]

This is why big John talks so much shit on the josh podcast 🤣

[@xabovethisworldx]

10 out of 10people know what boxing is I bet I'd if ask ten people if they know what mma was it would be 5 out of ten.give it about ten more years and these guys will make millions on a fight...some fighters already make over a mill with sponserships.look back at ufc in the late 90's they were making shit,as mma grows the fighters will make more it takes time and more mainstream exposure.

[@bwninefilms]

Cable ain't free.

[@amann24]

Dana sounds like Ronnie from Jersey Shore

[@fabiGBOtown]

Ariel, ask Dana why match up BJJ experts and strikers with wrestlers next time you see him please. Sick of this ground and hold bullcrap. some of these fights are getting boring to the point i leave the room to go smoke a cigar. tell him it should be a rule that if a card has wresltlers in it, we should get a 50% discount on the ppv cost. Thanks

[@satswa]

You go DANA!!!!!!!!!!!!

7:06 LULZ

[@swhite6]

@SSShino Until the fighters stand up to Dana they will continue to get no money. Dana won't come out and say they're underpaid because then that money comes out of his pocket. After all this is an entertainment business.

[@swhite6]

i think that half the UFC events should be free, and half PPV

[@dondiddy7529]

That whole loosing OOODLES of money didnt go the way the old man hoped lol #$4BILLION

[@Eagles.Fan.Since.Super.Bowl.52]

*LOSING

[@originmaple]

Dana White knows whats up!

[@markymark2069]

@HowtobeaFighter Herb Dean is good but Big John holds the title of best ref.

[@Jamedia66]

Dana and these guys generate these "huge" fights way too often that don't really qualify, and this takes away from those that do. I for one will say that I'm cool with it because I get to see more entertaining fights but it will evolve bro, plus Dana is a knucklehead when it comes to PR. It will work for awhile because it adheres to the "blue collar fighter" demography but the law of diminishing returns will take its toll on him too. You will see.

[@JustinSubryan]

Dana FUCKING White

[@poopbutt1805]

these two belong wit each other.they make a cute couple.they should go on a date.two men rolling around with each other.and then talk about it.get a life

[@BTBC9870]

every year boxing blows away MMA in all PPV sales fact..

[@illducky77]

Yeah, Cause Bones lost was due to a decisions. He was doing 12-6 elbows.

[@rmathew2]

Jon Jones clearly deserves the DQ loss, he was blasting Hamill with crazy elbows

[@SSShino]

@swhite6 absolutely. then for half the year the fighters can work a 2nd job to support their families. :\ get real.

[@sergewesker]

I watch this video sometimes just to laugh at how mad dana gets Funniest part is when he's like... i dont think i've ever been happier lol fuck bob arum

[@0XYGENgone]

I miss the good ol days of the UFC and Ariel being tight with everyone lol ufc sucks now

[@martinlopez2816]

2004-2013 were the BEST UFC years/era, way before they introduced that Irish leprechaun clown McFucker
