[@Johntheheadache]

Dana is a hero of mine. Over the past almost 20 years I've lost friends, relationships, jobs and I've moved states...No matter what transition life has thrown my way...When life has sucked, I've always been able to look forward to an upcoming UFC PPV and everything leading up to it and the post fight content. And many times...when you're down, you just need that one thing to look forward to. Many people give him shit, but for those of us who love MMA...life wouldn't be this much fun without Dana and the UFC. Thank you Dana.

[@lukemurray4950]

@@salehmansour1 the broadcast team will watch back fighters previous fights to look for what they are doing well and not so well so they can relay this during commentary. It also gives them points to say in the build up to the fights. Cruz was acting like DC didn't watch any film on him before his last fight. DC has literally been sitting cage side for most of Cruz fights last few years and knows him inside out. I think Cruz saw all the media he got after calling out Hans and this is his way of building hype and getting himself back on the main card.

Crazy to think DC was unappreciated by the fans to the point he accepted playing the heel at times but [not convincingly]. Now DC is one of the most loved MMA personalities and on a path to replacing Joe Rogan as the "John Madden" of the sport.

Don’t know why people hate DC. That man is amazing, double champ in the biggest weight classes in the world. And he did all that in his late 30s! Fought the best of the best from his first fights to his last fights, from Bigfoot and Barnett to Anthony Rumble and Stipe Miocic. He is a MUCH NEEDED energy in UFC. Someone who a lot of people can relate to relative to all the other espn people in ufc and outside in other sports. He is a Human and he isn’t afraid to show it! Love you DC! Your fight with volkan really ignited my passion of UFC, coming back from the Jones loss and demolishing the scary force of Volkan and his KO power. That was beautiful.

[@kevincarrigan2798]

I heard a saying awhile ago and it went something like "the more haters you have just adds to the amount of people thinking about you."

[@kevincarrigan2798]

@Nsnsndns Bsbsndns Mayweather didn't mind, he cashed it on it. But I would say someone who just doesn't like you is going to just ignore what you do. A hater is someone who continually watches what someone does and then comments about it.....which increases the "viewership" of the person they hate on. I would rather have haters than people who ignored me, as the former would bring more ppv dollars in. Worked for McGregor as well.

[@lebm878]

People love DC

[@queball685]

it was only during his rivalry with Jon Jones that people hated DC, because Jones was the big star at the time and DC used to whine a bit too much about people not liking him. People stopped hating DC years ago, also helped by Jones' stock falling due to his continue fuckeries

[@tjdover4209]

@Nsnsndns Bsbsndns those are 2 terrible takes. Haters are a real thing, and you’re one of them. And being broke has nothing to do with the fact that literally everything in this sport is about the money. Hell, no one would get out of bed without money being in the equation.

[@geraldwhite1611]

DC nailed that interview, with great questions, great listening, recall, laughter, and the right blend banter and staying focused and on topics fans Care about. I saw Dom Cruz speak about DC as an Analyst and the criticism of DC about watching film to prepare. As a former Pharma Sales Rep, Sales Trainer, and Sales Leader, and current Business owner for many years, performance and results are all that matter. I have seen Sales reps and managers who do not follow the blueprint of preparing for a Sales call, and are below average with their Product knowledge. However, it is amazing to watch How some of them achieve the highest recognition for performance, are loved by their customers, earn the highest bonuses, and commissions. Dom is dry and boring and I prefer to listen to DC, Bisping, and Rogan because they have the IT factor that Cruz lacks, no matter How much film he watches. So Dom, STFU!

That’s why Dominick Cruz was salty . You are really making big moves. DC, I didn’t like that you were cool and nice with him. He did what Karyn Bryant did to Bisping and for the same reason, to take opportunity from you . Bisping addressed her harshly once and for all, you on the other hand pet the hater and still kept him around. The fact he used his biggest stage to criticize u at the time you are receiving the biggest backlash from Media is really snake move. You don’t have to be nice with everyone DC.

But there's SOOO many small arenas that can seat 5,000-10,000 fans that would be perfect for a Fight Night, and there's a thrill to hearing the excitement of a crowd versus a corner.

The reason Conor shouldn't get special treatment like no fighter shouldn't get special treatment because guys are putting their life and health in the line and going through so many fights and tough fights to miss out on opportunities just because someone who hasn't put in that work to get it over the top of them. It's straight disrespectful and you can't say you respect the fighters and the sport if you justify stuff like this. Every sport wants to have the biggest teams and stars in the "title fights" but that's just the thing, it's sport you have to earn it. You can't just stick Cowboys and patriots in the super bowl because it will sell good they got to earn it. You can't just put the Bulls and Lakers in the NBA finals just because it will sell good. If UFC wants to be on par with other sports it needs to start acting like a sport instead of an entertainment company.
