"Francis was never my friend" - Dana White

[@kstylerz]

Dana is an evil guy

[@FirstLast-rm7mb]

What do you expect, makes a living off of guys beating CTE into each other.

[@applepieclub5012]

David Walsh Chronic traumatic encephalopathy

[@michelleknight5170]

i feel bad for miocic but it was a fair fight daniel deserves everything that comes with it....I dont think miocic is finished..we havent heard the last from him..hes a great fighter ...it just wasnt his nite...but im not sure what to say about this brock situation ....D C may be handed his ass...but well see... I work at the tmobile arena so ive seen alot of crazy ufc stuff but that was one of the most unexpected ....for me anyway......over all was a good nite alot of good fights...hope all is well ..hope well see ufc back here soon...☺

[@allenmcfarlinmcfarlin8440]

How he hyped him up and now dogs him what

[@peterbird3932]

Even CM Punk vs Jackson had more action than Ngannou/Lewis

[@NPFfumbi]

Peter Bird sadly yes

[@johntran8562]

LOL!!!!

[@toniaskew8445]

Why were people slamming Lewis though? Didn't he have a back injury going into that fight?

[@TheJeffum]

DC should demand Lesnar to put his Univeral Championship on the line as well!!!!

[@XxXTank9000]

Brock wasnt healthy when he fought cain or Overeem

[@semyaza555]

Lesnar. Cormier. Hell in a Cell. Two men enter. One man leaves. Book it now Dana.

[@JuanChavez-ju6ik]

XxXTank9000 u forgot to add Goldberg name in there.

[@luclalonde5048]

brock cant take a punch,kick,knee or elbow.dc will pick him apart fast.

[@AidanCulverREAL]

XxXTank9000 doesn’t matter. He was just never that good.

[@circaru20]

i feel bad for Miocic he was a good champion and humble guy , but DC is also a good guy so it s all good . :D

[@circaru20]

Mister T. I am just saying that Stipe is a good guy and Dc the same ...Why you have to be such a hater ?

[@m33lover]

I agree, Well said.....

[@manuelkanakaris64]

circaru20 yeah man , that's just the fight game

[@gladiatorsrage99]

circaru20 mr.t is a troll goof.

[@romant142]

Stipe is a better guy

[@FromMagic]

Mike Perry got robbed of fight of the night

[@Dannycmma]

Hey dude i agree..100% Dana get real..

[@casamontana]

Costa asking for a bonus; get's it! Perry never asks for money and never complains.... doesn't get it. That's UFC. It is what it is

[@Dislagmintation]

? Even Mike Perry had much better fights. It was a good fight but not even his best, I wouldn't say got robbed, he would've gotten it if it wasn't for good finishes, the guys who won bonuses deserved them more. He will get there for sure

[@austinthomas2690]

Tim Berghuis he gets the backroom money though which is why he never complains and I'm certain he got some backroom money tonight

[@jonathontsamantanis]

Insane fight, right to the finish, I mean come on Dana WTF

[@aphysique]

Daniel " Eye Poke City " Cormier vs Brock "Juiced 2 the Gills" Lesner!

[@Duigo23]

No fight of the night?? Perry an felder deserved that...

[@valeryastarkshield8278]

Stephen Duignan couldnt agree more.

[@billygarcia3404]

The four fights he announced all got fight of the night bonuses lmfao

[@baxtar321]

“Tell me the last time he was in a boring fight. Tonight, tonight was the last time he was in a boring fight”

[@godofwar8954]

So steroidner can just come back and get a title fight instantly? Wtf

[@TheHyena-ru8bz]

I agree

[@godofwar8954]

The Wolf UFC becoming such a joke so many talented fighters swept aside so some ugly thumb can sell a few more tickets/pay per views

[@b.barnesws8149]

Business is business, and this is the entertainment business.

[@thecooles28]

God of War its good business. DC is on his way out, why not give him a good pay day. Plus, due to Ngannou/Lewis being a snooze fest, they just made it even harder to promote a title shot. Its a sport but its also a business.

[@BeyondsearchSEO]

$$$

[@MrDylanHole]

How do you know if Dana is lying? His mouth is moving.

[@THIS---GUY]

i watch for the blinking

[@deltrotter3371]

MrDylanHole LOOL

[@epicragegaming2016]

paulo costa looks like a pre usada brazilian.

[@halfonit]

Felder vs Perry should have won fight of the night!! Give those guys a bonus!!

[@louisgomez7209]

Hope did Perry not get a bonus?

[@MrElephantBeach]

They gave out the same amount of bonuses as they always do. We'd be asking why one of the others didn't get a bonus if Perry did. It's a tough decision sometimes.

[@FromMagic]

MrElephantBeach Perry deserved the bonus over DC considering the money he made for this fight and the next fight with Brock

[@handtohandcombat3535]

Zep Yup

[@roadtopeace8064]

Gokahn "33%" Saki

[@20timesmanunited20]

Haha i noticed that too.

[@epicragegaming2016]

usman has been saved.

[@roadtopeace8064]

Eduardo Flores hey brother Kamaru runs on 30% 😂

[@Greeezy]

Jon who?

[@kingnatesr.5078]

PowerfulKramerJanglez I think its the guy who beat the heavyweight/light heavyweight guy twice, if I'm not mistaken??? I could be wrong, definitely been wrong before!

[@kshitijdobriyal3003]

Your daddy

[@djwild4506]

Jon Bones Jones Jon !!!

[@GhOsT-mb5vl]

Jones. Hes the guy who won the main event last night.

[@JLmopr]

🐐

[@christoph.d.w]

Cormier vs Lesnar, really? Now it‘s official, the UFC has become the new WWE.

[@JS-yn7qx]

Christoph W. Except the fights are actually real fights 😂

[@theejambo8002]

If Dana fires that Mike Jackson fella the way he did how about Frances' performance ??

[@dave93x]

thee jambo Nganou is a draw, his punishment will be fighting no names for the next few fights.

[@FromMagic]

DaveKraft400 I wouldn’t call that a punishment I think that’s exactly what he needs

[@dave93x]

Zep I think so too but if Dana is saying he has a huge ego all of a sudden then fighting on a prelim or two will put him in check.

[@levichadfield9771]

Triple threat match. Jon vs Lesnar vs Cormier

[@josephkeeney4789]

And Francis won his release papers..

[@samwinnerbet]

Aged well

[@HoopThrowbacks19272]

sam jack how did it age well he is still in the ufc

[@samwinnerbet]

Aye Youngin cause he didn’t get released ? Don’t you get it

[@JBG234]

#AndNew

[@Yuspliff]

Brock is gonna get destroyed, DC is pretty much cain 2.0. But I get it thats gonna be big PPV money.

[@ishansaha24]

Yuspliff easy money as as well

[@kimyungill2149]

dc isnt cain 2.0. dc is maybe 0.75 Cain and thats good enough to be HW champ.

[@kingammo6090]

I'll Buy It !

[@kingcrustytut7544]

Marlon Yasol 2 division champ, Olympic wrestler. 😂

[@kimyungill2149]

KingCrustyTut guess you guys forgot about Cain. #casuals

[@Gunblade-X]

DC is such a beast at hw. Now i kinda wish DC vs Jones 3 will be at hw.

[@dancooling2851]

How can Jon still get respect of anyone the mans a cheat he can’t be the greatest ever because he has cheated dc is the greatest fighter ever easily

[@paranoidreggie53]

i agree but then fight a notorious roid head gets a title shot after been suspended

[@22plepte.ltd.96]

Those who said JJ is the best ever, even if he was cheating all these while are just nuts. It's like saying Lance Armstrong is the greatest cyclist ever

[@kstylerz]

Because real fighters (especialy the smart ones) Understand that he is such a smart and technical fighter.

[@GodofMMA23]

Dan Cooling its horrible, becoming storied like wwe...Cody garbrandt gets a title shot after only 4 ufc fights, wins, loses his first title defence then gets an immediate rematch.. Stipe breaks the 20 year old record for HW division and the second his head is on the canvas and they're booking the next fight with a guy who's had 1 fight in 6 years. I get the business potential, but the other heavyweights must be pissed. The division is now tied up til Brocks gone through usada. Anyone see another interim belt on the horizon? Might as well give every fighter a belt and forget fair play....

[@mj-7444]

Dan Cooling It might actually be true either way though if we are honest with ourselves. We can’t always assume the obvious things.We have never seen steroids make someone like Jon Jones who beats the best division in mma history while it had all its golden members,who were all just coming off of being at the pinnacle.However I do believe DC would have beaten everyone of them,but you cannot say that indefinitely maybe Shogun would’ve cracked him!! Then we can factor in the Jones Vs DC one fight, DC gets out muscled and Jon doesn’t test positive for something performance enhancing. Then the second fight is much different from the first Jon is bigger and smashes DC with ease.Jon Tests hot. So it’s also safe too assume that Jon is better all-Natural and WAYYYYY BETTER ON THE JUICE :)

[@halfonit]

Hate to say it Dana, but your organization did this to him. You tried to make it seem like he's the "next big thing" before his fight against Miocic. You pushed the whole "representing Africa" angle as well. Psych 101 could even tell you that.

[@alexandrudumitru2435]

God i love UFC...MMA is such an amazing sport...you never know whats gonna happen...the ppv was awesome. I'm really happy for DC, the guy deserves the title. His fight with Brock, will be epic.

[@MindaugasSnegirevas]

Epic beatdown by DC. No questions asked. Boring.

[@alexandrudumitru2435]

Me well you never know, DC is the GOT right now, but, wrestling wise, Brock and DC are more or less equall....if Brock gets at the level he was when he won the belt, it would be an awesome fight. With these said....i think that DC will win, but not with a KO...rather at the decision or subbmision

[@user-ey4rn1zf2w]

I wonder will cheat and poke Brock in the eye too? #DCtheCHEATER

[@alexandrudumitru2435]

William Brock will probably ripp his head of if DC would do that...i hope that Brock gets in the ebst shape posible without being on gear...just imagine Brock becoming champ again. That would be insane

[@rambo3801]

Ngannou vs blaydes 2 make it happen. Curtis been on a roll.

[@Paul180]

MYSTIC

[@yourmama265]

I hope the Max Holloway and Brian Ortega fight eventually happens.

[@kennyyuen1600]

No respect for Stipe. Breaking HW record and no instant rematch

[@nativeboy36]

No fight of the night? Didn’t he see the war with Derrick Lewis and Francis Ngannou?

[@asdf9C]

monster drinks are terrible.

[@wjellis504]

asdf Oh god you're right they make me cringe just thinking about drinking one..

[@tjrugbymuscle]

I'm done with UFC, you can't build stars up and then throw them under the bus when you are the ones to blame for his huge ego. I guess it's just a stupid show now rather than a sport with all the theatrics after the main event. Brock Lesnar has no business being anywhere near the title, let alone him screaming and showing no respect. Even for DC's win, it seemed a bit shady... not scripted but he kept shoving his fingers in Stipe's face which is illegal but just brushed off by anyone. I'll watch some fights here and there but my interest and respect for the sport has just plummeted.

[@chengxiao9256]

Costa is a future champ imo, yall dont think hed sleep whittaker??

[@diegocardenas9531]

Cheng Xiao No.

[@epicragegaming2016]

maybe a future ifbb champ

[@rocketeerultra5044]

Whittaker gives him hands

[@NPFfumbi]

1984 yep and or Whittaker will chew him up like a pit bull

[@Striker20000]

DANA DIDN'T KNOW WHO RAPHAEL ASSUNCAO IS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jacquesmatthews4240]

Everyone says how intelligent of a fighter D.C. is and he knocks out stipe on the same side of the eye poke...he knew what he was doin

[@BNASTYLW]

How did Perry not get a perf bonus?

[@maclivingston9268]

How would lesnar feel getting beat by valasquez and his best friend? Side note- after lesnar, a fight between DC and his "best friend" Valasquez would be big as well!😯

[@AOD-tr7nd]

DC imitated Jon Jones with all the eye pokes

[@Confucius202]

7:00 - notice the difference in Dana's voice when he talks about an incident that wasn't pre-planned and set up and then watch his interview talking about the Conor McGregor inside which was obviously a set up.

[@hom-sha-bom]

Correction* DC is a 1 division champion. He never won the LHW belt, it was just handed to him.

[@stoneosborne9247]

Lesnar and Cormier bout to make the GDP of Romania for this fight. Yowza.

[@houndofuladh587]

Let Undertaker referee the fight. Vince McMahon and Dana arguing if Brock got a 3 count,being separated by Sherri as Jimmy Snuka shouts through the cage to DC to get up.

[@bcityy]

Jones is the best all time...at doping! Does anyone actually know how good he is clean, no. I had the upmost respect for him until the 2nd failed test, and the 3rd is just moronic.

[@diegocardenas9531]

Neww Cityy Most if not all UFC fighters are juiced. It's too easy to get away with it these days. Jones got unlucky and probably got a research chemical steroid contaminated with a banned steroid.

[@JerryRiceBall]

I’d rather see stipe vs dc again than dc vs the juicehead.

[@recessiontwentytwenty3858]

Am I confused or is Dana?🤔 is he getting Uriah Hall mixed up with another fighter?

[@joshuabuller9421]

I’m shook

[@Milkdudsandpancakes]

Audio frequencies all over the place...Very distracting. If you need a ufc audio guy... 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@ihatesjw4879]

Man from reading this weeks ufc226 headlines, I thought dana was going berserk, but he seems more level headed in this interview than he has been in a good while.

[@chris63952]

Stipe vs lesnar, would have been a better match up

[@bourbonbruce5422]

Dana "I thought he was gonna be the next guy" White

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

Costa, while amazing in many ways, was either incredibly sloppy or was trying to attack the other guy's groin. There were more groin hits than they remarked about during that fight including a direct straight punch to the cup!

[@rkaylor5769]

This outcome and Brock's presence was a bit too convenient.

[@ihatesjw4879]

Francis didnt want anything to do with lewis is what really happened. In bully fashion, he finally met someone who wasn't afraid of him and could ko him, and he backed down. Yeah i know stipe wasn't afraid of him, but francis in his mind though he was. Winner of Black beast vs miocic gets winner of dc vs lesnar, should be next imo.

[@777KZL]

I was at this fight, there were like 1000 seats empty, 'sell out'🤔

[@kevincena3]

If the guy asking the question did his research he'd realise Rafael is 11-2 in the UFC getting Knocked unconscious in his UFC debut

[@marbs0204]

"Francis was never my friend." Dana

[@Striker20000]

KHALIL ROUNTREE JR JAMES VICK ISRAEL ADESNAYA PAULO COSTA =good upcoming fighters

[@issasangar3215]

you were so right

[@kylelyons6088]

I’m happy for DC, even though I don’t like him that much, and was rooting for Stipe. But now, you let DC defend both belts, but strip Conor of the featherweight to not hold up that division? You throw around interim titles more than Brock pops for steroids, but not make the Gustafsson fight an interim fight for LHW while DC is gone at HW fighting triple H and Brock Lesnar

[@dennyroman7935]

stipe will have that title defense record for a while

[@nickPR505]

Do you know what Francis told me? He said he wasn’t going to gas out, isn’t he awesome? -Dana White

[@MystiCalBEING89]

brock makes big numbers so = title shot

[@ellisv75]

DC, smart, super competitive, clean, good guy watch him training guys on ultimate fighter and compare him to Step.

[@ProfitSquirrel]

In your opinion, did DC eye poke to Miocic on purpose?

[@Anvil35]

Profit Squirrel yes

[@rambo3801]

Took a page out of Jonnys book

[@danielpratt6672]

There’s no such thing as an open fingered strike

[@TheHyena-ru8bz]

Im a DC fan and I say yes. The only guy to stop Stipe was Struve via eye poke.

[@DuFREAKY]

absolutely, yes. love DC. love Stipe. way too many open palm strikes for it to be coincidence

[@broogul7335]

"Brock was all fired up for this fight" aka Brock needs money

[@paulysaid6611]

broo gul want not need

[@kevinmachine9310]

DC vs Brock to SAVE Boring Heavy Weight Division !

[@coldcoffeebear7459]

Who has been able to shut down DC's wrestling ? Who was the last guy DC KO'd ? Who was the last Knockout artist DC fought ? If Stipe had finished any of his flurries with a left body kick,he would have got the KO,..DC kept ducking his head to the right. Ya gotta study your opponent.

[@future7508]

Man I love the UFC but they show to much favoritism to BIG names I mean really, they need to get back on cue with actually having the right people get the opportunities

[@Striker20000]

LATINOS POLYNESIANS AFROAMERICANS TAKING OVER THE GAME

[@primofx2sport]

Love how Lesner can leave ufc after some brutal loses and just make a call to come back and get a title shot along with McGregor after almost injuring some fights on a bus because he wanted to teach someone a lesson knowing damm well he could made that happen since hes a fighter n all lol. Dude hasn't had a fight in ufc in over a year n a half and still get a title shot while Ferguson is just waiting again.

[@Goshaunharris]

Damn i thought i never say this, but i agree with Dana about Francis Ngannou.

[@drevm7991]

Only thing worth watching on this channel after Ariel left. That’s what you guys get for spoiling so many god damn fights in the titles for no reason. You guys spoiled the entire Bellator 200 card in video titles BEFORE it even aired in the US. More worried about clicks than fans.

[@06livefast]

Is like to see style bender vs gokhan saki at catchweight

[@santinorocco497]

Rematch is needed between Miocci and DC Lesnar needs to wait can’t just show up and demand tittle shot as he will lose via tko by DC.

[@VoidBL]

Santino Rocco no he got knocked out first round no need for an immediate rematch

[@zachnotzack4]

Santino Rocco it’s crazy that they’ll give a rematch to Cody after a KO loss on his first defense but Stipe won’t get a rematch after 3 dominate defenses

[@epicragegaming2016]

not the same thing. tj accepted this because its gonna pay him and midget mouse wouldn't fight him. he didn't want to give cody a rematch, tj didn't get one when he lost to cruz.

[@NPFfumbi]

Lesnar will be dcs last fight. He will get a big payday

[@TheDonkeyFLOPPER]

Getting Jacked DC said he wants two more fights. His goal has been Brock then finish his career with a third Jon Jones fight

[@artdeluxe5625]

DC is the real deal 👑🔥 real champion! Congratulations!

[@rickyvandusen1744]

The fix is in!!

[@JuanChavez-ju6ik]

All I know is Francis key card for the ufc performance center. Ain't going to work the next time he tries to use it.

[@dadpeele2221]

How tf U Dnt give fight of night to perry felder??

[@xoilovepapayasxo]

Dana! Zingano vs Nunez 2 needs to happen

[@hjkhhjkh3635]

Everyone is in roids in the UFC... however, steroids don’t give you skills, they just allow you to recover faster, and therefore progress faster. Jon Jones is the greatest in the sport, period. DC isn’t. Not even mentioning the dirty little eye pokes that Stipe didn’t complain about.

[@anandkhonjujuanandkhonjuju8904]

Dana u might b thinking that DC is the champion but..... If u see as a fight DC poked the eyes twice... The first one was not seen by the refree ....that must the main reason coz he got caught in that time... And then when cormier felt that the first one was not correct... He tried twice... Everyone have seen it... UFC 226 sucks.. Dana is again trying to demolish UFC.... He should be... Coz he is too greedy

[@anandkhonjujuanandkhonjuju8904]

UFC not gonna grow up... Ultimately there is two partner... Seems more like WWE.... 😂 DANA ONE DOLLAR BABY 👶 U IDOIT

[@DropinDonuts]

Francis who.

[@CalgaryHyundai13]

12:55 question about the Co main event

[@84slaughter]

Alright Now Can We Stop With The Dan Henderson Slam, He's A Middleweight...

[@turdferguson2839]

UFC has become the WWE, Lesnar has no business getting a title fight, but he gets it because he's popular. I like Lesnar, but he needs to earn a title shot, he should fight Lewis or Miocic and the winner gets the HW title shot. It's Dana's fault Ngannou fell apart, he's the one who hyped him and wanted him to beat Stipe. Ngannou had no business getting a title shot either, but he got it because he was hyped and Dana had a crush on him.

[@darrenpoole1251]

When I’m wrong I’ll admit it I didn’t give dc a chance in hell I thought miocic was going to run straight through dc well done dc I am a fan of his but I really did think he went the wrong direction at that time but fair play to him thank you dc for proving me wrong

[@MystiCalBEING89]

then u oblivious dont no MMA then if u thought that

[@darrenpoole1251]

MystiCalBEING89 that’s my opinion

[@HB-lx3wv]

Calls the guy that got caught cheating twice the best of all time...

[@averagebloke4474]

Wish these fights were free Dana.

[@ufoofficial4520]

DC is nice guy ,but i feel bad for Stipe Miocic ,Stipe Miocic is the best MMA fighter ever .i'm STIPE MIOCIC fun but DC was better in this fight ,STIPE will come back better than ever

[@waalex11]

Uh... Brock doesn't deserve a title shot! WTF.

[@Sean-zz2lj]

Brock gets a title shot coming off two loses. Lets pray for the UFC

[@AlexSmith-iq1qq]

Sure Jon jones gets tested for the exact same thing and you go out and criticize the man but when Brock does it you’re still buddies 😂

[@aa.gg.4609]

I love Mr. Ratner

[@Rau-AR]

So paul felder step up to fight mike perry and both guys gave a hell of fight and not get any bonus¿? greedy bastard ..

[@gigablowproperties]

DC vs brock? are you serious?

[@ktran2173]

Jon Jones was scared to face Stipe. DC came back after his lost to Jones and defended the LHW title. Took the Stipe fight Jones dodged and KO’s Stipe!!! And now takes Jon Jones money fight with Lesnar. DC Lets go!!!!!!!

[@kuNDan.1311]

5.7 millions gates .. does he mean PPV buys ??

[@rumboaibiza2999]

Jones knows it could of been him in there getting pushed by brock

[@gw8813]

Dana White speaks like Kevin from The Office.

[@legend2kill]

G W lmaoooooo

[@ThomasLien1]

«What has Stipe done for the sport in the last 2,5 years?» «That fight was great, both fighters did a great job.» 🤔

[@juanechavarria8717]

Thomas Lien aaaa🤔he made history by defendidnt his hw tittle 3 times, thats just one thing but u kho

[@abdullah2ice]

That was insulting.

[@anandkhonjujuanandkhonjuju8904]

Dana .. Seems u r getting poor in combat battles...

[@anandkhonjujuanandkhonjuju8904]

After all your new partner gonna ruin u

[@BeeBopGaming]

Boring fights like that should give us a 5 dollar refund at LEAST!!!

[@mikerich9314]

Why could they not do the performance bonuses along with a fight of the night for perry & felder. Quit being so cheap Ufc... If there are 15 people who deserve it give it to them. It doesn’t have to just be 4!
