Dana White Happy to Never Work with Randy Couture Ever Again (UFC 156 Pre Scrum)

www.MMAWeekly.com/ -- UFC president Dana White knows Randy Couture very well... and let's just say that he doesn't exactly have a high opinion of the former two-weight-class UFC champion.

[@TheLoganLives]

You can tell that Dana is so bothered by the fact that people hold Randy in high regard lmao

[@risingempireentertainment]

I worked with Randy on several projects. He's a great guy. really down to earth.

[@heavyrain5949]

Kinda jealous ngl 😂

[@risingempireentertainment]

@Almost Lancelot what did he do that was so bad? I worked with him on a gun range shoot for new weapons. He never displayed any Alfa male attitude or anything. He was humble and was nice to everyone. If he was a dick to you someone probably did something stupid.

I worked with Dana on several projects and he was a great customer

[@risingempireentertainment]

[@lewisgriffin9684]

Cuz you're not his boss

[@dave6635]

Randy Couture is one of the few fighters who managed to keep the rights to his name and image. Dana White hates that. Practically all the fighters that sign a UFC contract get no money from the UFC video games, fight videos, shirts, and other merchandise.

[@joefaller9664]

That’s why we never saw him in any UFC games, but then he made an appearance in StrikeForce’s only MMA game lmao I remember Dana was not happy about this, mad he couldn’t make money off Randy’s name without having to pay him a dime.

[@xxxllloorpoopypants3687]

Randy is also an under handed business man who will turn his back on you in a second. Not too mention all the years randy was on the cutting edge of trt and Dana knew and allowed it. Only reason randy had so much success in his comeback is caused he was juiced to the gills

[@kendesjarlais9303]

couture felt shafted and moved on big deal, good for him. danas like a 4 year old throwin verbal jabs constantly at ppl who dont side with him.

just like trump. and nowadays everyone loves dana.

[@kuhwest]

do u still watch the ufc?

[@smpoinde]

I'm just a nobody, but if it wasn't for Randy, I most likely would've never watched or competed in MMA. He made it a legitimate sport in my eyes.

[@barsieee]

Absolutely bro back then mfs were throwing bombs and getting payed in beer and randy came in to show technique, and that weight classes don't matter to him

[@wedontlikenoneofyou]

Yawn comments

[@xexe8039]

Dana never denied anything he's done for the sport. He didn't say one bad thing about Randy as a fighter. He's talking about Randy as in the guy who sued him. Dana took care of him, his wife and baby. That same guy sued him😑

[@slurwin119]

Dana loves you when your in the UFC, and HATES you when your not.

[@User-ft6dc]

He made a damn fair point about Couture dropping his baby off for the night imo. How you gonna trust a guy like that and then say all that shit about him?

[@rodneyleon3645]

People can be jerks but not kill babies.

[@jonjones2]

As simple as he can do what he does to people while still looking after their baby?

[@User-ft6dc]

@Rodney Leon That's true, but if you genuinely believe someone is an absolute piece of shit and you don't trust them, do you then leave your baby with them? I wouldn't.

[@billymabum3514]

There’s lot of bad people who don’t kill newborns 😂

[@mattykirk2875]

[@plpa8250]

You're angry at someone lying? You... Dana White... Angry about someone lying? Really?

[@Kyosuke700]

u wouldn't be saying that if u had a business then stab someone in the back and be like F U am going somewhere else instead of being upfront about it

[@dbreiden83080]

That’s why he is a Trump supporter. They have a lot in common. The rules don’t apply to either one of them. They make it up as time goes on. The ego always does the talking.

Translation: If a fighter won't swoon in Dana's presence and drop his drawers and slap some vaseline on his own ass (for Dana's convenience) Dana doesn't want anything to do with him.

As opposed to a used baby? I guess? Good for Randy though he got a brand new one..lol

Brand new as in newborn idiot

[@Sean-jb5gi]

Imagine Adam Silver saying these CLASSLESS things about James Harden or Kevin Durant.

[@carlantaya175]

The only point he made was that Randy lied about his numbers but other than that just resorted to anecdotal character attacks that are impossible to prove.

[@mmabuff101]

And typical of dana

[@Justin-jg2hi]

Randy and Tito made Dana tens of millions of dollars and made the UFC hundreds of millions. He couldn’t control them the way he wanted to and that’s why he’s mad.

[@americopa1956]

The level of stress dana took the following 3-5 years is staggering he aged twice as fast. Compre him to 2016 and 2018 to 2013

Randy probably stood up to Dana. If Dana would respect excellence....he would respect Randy, one of the greatest who helped the UFC grow in its beginnings.

[@edgardaniels1402]

Dudes get in the ring and take a chance with their lives for this man!! He can build a star and destroy one at the drop of a hat while never getting bruised or broken in any way!! I love the Diaz brothers, Conor, Randy and all the greats, and I know they want it bad, you can see it in the ring, but I watched the “Andre The Giant” documentary and I see how these dudes wind up broken in the end. Real or fake, people like Dana and McMahon sit pretty while these dudes wind up broken and broke!! Randy and Chuck’s beef made this dude what he is!! Make it fair is all I’m saying!!

Dana's own mother hates him. Nuff said.

[@marlboromatt5656]

My girlfriend gave birth to an “old” baby one time .

[@ivo4357]

Dana would call that 'second hand' or 'used'

[@dsvet]

A 1 yr old still a baby. Can't speak, can barely walk or even feed themselves. He was differentiating between a "new" baby, just recently born and an "older" baby 12+ months. A brand new car is one recently bought however a car 1yr old is still new but not brand new.

if you watch the video he explains it.

From the comments. I would say his 99% is more like 99% is happy for Randy. Don’t know how he has lasted this long.

[@espada9]

So sick of this control freak. Met Randy and trained at his school in Vegas, super nice guy. I would never want to work for Dana.

[@youngarnold4]

Dana White does not know how to take one on the chin and move on. He always has to get the last word in there. Now he is saying a UFC Hall of Famer is not a good guy.

[@aamantium1]

Randy may be miserable in business, but face to face, he was cool to me. He approached me as an amateur fighter that was standing in line (as a fan)for one of his events. He asked me what fights i was looking forward to, where my seats were, etc. He then pulled me out of line and brought me back stage and then gave me a chair near the stage. So i get where Dana's coming from, but Randy will always have to be cool in my book.

[@MrSoda007]

Your right actually when thinking about it i never looked at it that way cheers

[@joshqaszq4773]

Just got this brand new baby yall, paid cash

[@mmabuff101]

I'm sure when the Ultimate Fighter season 1 was on, business was great. So yea, not a big deal. I'm sure Randy found out quickly when Chuck won the rematches that Dana will drop you in a heart beat and loyalty only goes so far

[@THEBANDIT7979]

Randy was never my friend. Lol.

[@koncreteliquids]

Dana did not go on the line financially... Dana got several backers (at the time Dana was pretty much broke) to supply money that he had no responsibility for... He did have a great lawyer who managed to get him written in as owner/ceo of UFC... Not hating on it at all but he didn't invest anything but time into the UFC

Recommended book to read BECOMING THE NATURAL by Randy Couture.

[@brandonkain9231]

Great book

[@zazzy99]

What I don't get is what does Couture child and wife has to do with anything? Dana does not act like a CEO of a corporation. His demeanor and attitude leaves very little to be desired.

If you stand up for yourself and try to earn good money and that eats into Dana's (UFC) share? You will be on the sloth end of the noun's quickly.... Take a look at Randy Couture testimony in front of the US Congress for his take .....I'd stand behind the man who walked it....not talked it...

[@tmjclickclick]

Conflicts arise in all business. Dana should have a little more self control. Sometimes he acts like he is still in high school by some of his comments and how he carries himself. It's one thing to be a boss and want respect, but he needs to rise above the games and leave the behind the closed doors shit behind those doors. Would he want his private life discussed and commented on by his staff? I don't think so. Who cares if Randy is a bad guy....we can't judge him because we don't know hi

And how come Dana has had so many differences with so many people, are all the other people wrong?, or did they just not stick to the UFC's to do list ?
