So Dana can put THAT MUCH EFFORT INTO THE SPHERE'S PRODUCTION but can't even produce a good main card for it!?!?!?!?!?!?

[@ItsReplayBro]

Saw a guy on Twitter who for the first time in a 20 years streak will not be going to a card in Las Vegas. Us hard working fans can’t afford to go to these events anymore. I went to ufc Nashville (which the main event sucked but was still an amazing event) and paid $175 each for mid level seats. That same seat at the sphere would run me over $6500 A PIECE…..

The card at the sphere is garbage. Once in a life time event. Millions might’ve went into production but nothing has went into actually giving the fans a card they want, pay the fighters more money instead of throwing it into production

He should promote him very well which he deserves more than anyone in the ufc .what is this dana ?

[@profightsinfo]

Dana says, “I don’t even pay attention to him anymore.” [in regard to Jake Paul]. Then immediately in the next sentence quotes something Jake’s been saying recently and in the build up to Mike Perry, “the whole “they’re trying to assassinate me thing.”” Lol, Dana spinning yarn.
