Dana White on rebuilding UFC: It was an absolute war

[@petehoward8494]

Graham is SOO good at interviewing. He's so low key, that the others want to fill in the blanks, and tell their story. Genius.

[@GrahamBensinger]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. -AD

[@mikehansen7610]

Not genius. That is a very well known technique.

[@sethlarson9433]

Chill out @@mikehansen7610. We’re gunna have to get Gilbert Nakatani to teach you some manners, again.

[@Squadfather]

Dana is completely well rounded in MHA. Mixed Hustlin Arts

[@ndesa]

Well-rounded? The guy is a 10th Dan Grand Master.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

I'd take 365 mil for 10......

[@ikigai47]

There will never be another Dana White, doing what he did, hustling the way he did, putting an entire sport on his back when few cared, clearing roadblock, after roadblock after roadblock and creating a multi billion dollar empire as a result. All the while, no matter how small he was, or how big he got, he did it his way and didn't change a thing for society, investors or the competition. Not even the woke era made a dent on how he did business or presented himself. Every corporation around him was bowing down to the mob but he held firm with middle fingers up while his company grew. It's truly a one of a kind story of sheer perseverance, human will and staying true to your principles.

[@damoncallaway5450]

well said

[@nickb4302]

Dana white literally built a sport. That dude did all the heavy lifting to make that company/sport what it is today.

[@MrRonPope]

"nothing is ever what you'll think it will be."

[@BoundMusic]

omg what a sad and terrible day will be when Joe Rogan and Dana White step away from the UFC. Also, props to Dana for everything he's done. This dude should give out hustling lessons and teach entrepreneurship

[@llllllolllllllll]

his hustle game is out of this world !

[@mikehansen7610]

No, mine is.

[@iOnline72]

UFC = User Friendly Computers :))

[@oshanadinkha6545]

ufc - uneducated false comment

[@OriginalMindTrick]

Wonder what Dana had to pay.

[@blooddef]

​@@OriginalMindTrick prolly 50 bucks. Thought it was too much.

[@OscarSalas6565]

I live in Las Vegas and when I was younger I use to attend this free MMA gym paid for by the city police and Dana White came in one day and gave everybody a free gym bag with MMA Gloves and a lot more goodies! Dana White is a G!

[@woodywood613]

Dana thanks man for everything you have done for mma your the man eh cheers from Canada !!!!

[@TheVirgil3000]

Why can't you just put all the clips into one video...

[@oshanadinkha6545]

more videos more like more views more money

[@hawash1917]

+Oshana Dinkha longet videos make more money on youtube.

[@hawash1917]

+Jack Jameson yh no shit I meant that if they put all the clips in 1 video, theyll generate more money cuz the video will be longer

[@dulmater]

Usually, but the algorithm also works so that channels which are good at keeping user over multiple sequential videos also generate extra revenue.

[@dudemang1353]

Virgil seriously!!

[@howtodoelectrical200]

Gold wish I could watch the full EP

[@joshk8599]

Whatever the UFC does- They need to figure out how to keep JOE ROGAN around

[@Envycolt]

Man this aged well, good call

[@yeetwchybaban]

@@Envycolt heh nice

[@afterpodcast]

Graham Besinger reminds me of a younger and even better version of Charlie Rose meets Larry King. And, mark my words...he's going to be the next big interviewer.

[@GrahamBensinger]

Hopefully one day... Thanks for watching!

[@ChrisHoward141]

I love all of your videos Graham. You are one of the absolute best interviewers of all time. All of your interviews are so interesting and you ask the right questions. Great job man, keep up the good work.

[@poolboyinla]

Dana made it happen.

[@THEBIGGESTSCUMBAG]

LEGEND

[@garymcaleer6112]

Great post, Graham. We face physical, intellectual, and spiritual battles. At my age @63 I'm down to spiritual battles. The lessons learned from the past have greatly helped me today. Stay safe, bro.

[@yeetwchybaban]

Zamn nice

[@blooddef]

Dana 'friends with all the fighters' White

[@vargasalex0505]

it would be so much better if it was the interview in its entirety! damn intro in the beginning of every clip...

[@andresrodriguez1962]

No way 2016 was 6 years ago 😭 i know duh it was but Shii bro time going by fast and don’t feel like it lmao

[@procommunistdestruction2318]

He is a top-notch interviewer. I see so many people doing interviews that don't seem good and imagine how good the interview could be. Btw can I say that just because I say some people should not have a podcast or interview does not mean I am saying I would be good at interviews. If I find myself in a position where I have to interview, I would at least do some research and prepare. One thing about the internet is that it gives access to people to become pushed out there that might not be good at what they are doing. I am not even trying to hate. More power to anybody that pulls off independence.

[@ballervisions]

Hair on point Graham!

[@Steadno]

(pause)

[@talk2s5061X]

So inspirational

[@convex7456]

I remember watching chuck L. And his one hitter quitter 💨💥✨✨✨

[@kassbazzi736]

Graham's good people! good interview

[@thelegendofsaintcharles629]

Dana was on the block tryna make it happen

[@mrno_name9518]

4:08 a movie like moment..his story needs to be a movie already

[@walberto78]

The fighters still aren’t paid very well

[@GreatAkudo]

The BEST thing that happened to the UFC was not Conor. It was Dana.

[@dakusan9053]

Buying the UFC is one of the greatest business decisions in history. The old owner must be pissed.

[@ciaranfox2925]

Great move by him, he would havve never made a success out of it like the fertittas and dána

[@ikigai47]

The old owners know damn well they couldn't have turned it around like Dana did. Few businessmen could have.

[@ala2121]

Who was the owner that sold everything behind "UFC"? Did I miss it and not listen well or does someone know who he's talking about?

[@hillbillymods2866]

Art Davie

[@A-DUBCLUB]

dana.. shout out from Melbourne Australia.. from the MRCT the asian dude

[@1grumpygt]

great story.

[@chrishinchliffe2412]

Graham bad singer looks like he’s undressing Dana with his eyes

[@Jstn8156]

Graham, hey hope al is well on your end. I have a request and I know you would get a lot of views. Can you try and interview Nick and Nate Diaz I promise you won't regret it. #NeedleMovers

[@boobins66]

the diaz brothers have social anxiety, so i don't think an interview will happen.

[@mistahac]

Respect but let's not act like Pride FC didn't serve as a template

[@greenleaf9042]

I wonder how long he went without a check while trying to start this?

[@surajrayaprolu793]

That end

[@northmunda]

User Friendly Computers is sorely missed

[@sammiehilton3699]

He followed him around to get a pay-per-view deal. No wonder he respected James Tony and his hustle.

[@dexfoster7435]

Lmao Ariel followed Dana's foot steps and now terrorizes him

[@TheTruthiest]

He is a master of self-promotion

[@THEBIGGESTSCUMBAG]

KING

[@cb7pwn]

this is so hilariously setup.

[@BudLeiser]

Wow, I respected Dana White but now I respect him 10x more. Holy crap man good job.

[@karatefightfitnessdrills5430]

But UFC pays their fighters nickle and dimes compare to their pay per view profits. They make multi millions on pay per view but their fighters makes like in the hundred of thousands. That's why boxing is still king because they pay their fighters millions.

[@nawazrohani4675]

Ufc sold dana white super rich lol ...

[@schloergrape5191]

Dana's wearing invisalign braces

[@joshlaware1520]

He who?

[@warghost1400]

Dana white is a genius

[@shaunbang]

Just looked up Marshall Zelaznik and I shouldn’t feel bad since he’s probably still a millionaire but after the UFC sold to WME they fired him after he worked for the UFC for over a decade leaving In Demand to do so. Then he became CEO of Glory Kickboxing for a short while but eventually resigned from that. I always viewed UFC as a great company to work for as they always seemed to take care of their own and hardly ever had big lay offs of personnel (fighters are a different story) but it’s evident that ever since they sold off the company it’s become the same as any other shitty capitalistic company that has revolving doors. I really hope Dana isn’t really selling the shares he kept after the initial buy out cuz I highly doubt WME is going to keep their word and replace Dana as soon as they get the opportunity and from there on the UFC will go downhill so damn fast.

Where all the Dana white haters at now ?????
