Fight Night Atlanta: Dana White Scrum

UFC President Dana White meets with media members following Wednesday's UFC Fight Night post-fight press conference.

[@ThePerkonm]

These reporters sound afraid of Dana. So many stupid nut-hug questions- expectations for Atlanta, ratings for 168!!! Ask Dana about ratings for Fight Night Singapore, ask about what GSP said, ask about why no one can un-sub from fight-pass...etc Where is Ariel? Where he`s at?

[@numberone991]

Ariel is ducking him bro

[@montanathreehunna]

Khabib (in tommy toeholds Vitor voice) "Why you ducking me bro? You all ducking me bro" Michael Johnson "I'll fight you" Khabib "You're not on my level bro. Why's everyone on my level ducking me bro? I'm not fighting you bro"

[@TheAntManChannel]

Khabib is overrated, he doesn't even make weight and is boring.

[@stargunner87]

TheAntManChannel he missed weight once bro come on now. the dudes 21-0. has he earned a fight against nate or gil? i was thinking nate khabib would make the most sense due to their ufc ranks. i dont think khabib deserves a crack at gil yet. khabib is just to much risk for no reward. cowboy would make sense but hes been talking about going to 45. johnson makes kinda sense hes coming off two impressive wins. khabib would be doing him the favor in that situation. some times you have to take a step back to move forward.

[@TheAntManChannel]

stargunner87 Cerrone is at 145 now. And I hope khabib fights Johnson because we'd all see how overrated he really is.

[@stargunner87]

TheAntManChannel ufc saying hes fighting Adriano Martins fox 10 at lw. has he said for sure his next fight (after this one) is going to be at FW? i dont think johnson has anything for khabib. we will see if the fights ever made so who knows how it will play out.

[@JEFFCLEVANDR]

stargunner87 Well at first Dana didn't like the idea of Cowboy going to FW... But after Miller called him "ClownBoy" and called him out during his post fight interview I am sure Dana is seeing $$$ in that fight and will be willing to let Cerrone go down to 145.

[@TheAntManChannel]

Rockhold vs. Machida, make it happen Dana.

[@Videos4MMA]

Both are counter strikers, Not the best match up.

[@TheAntManChannel]

MMA Videos you're right, but I'm just a fan of counter-fighters. Probably would be a slow paced fight xp

[@Videos4MMA]

TheAntManChannel Yea, but Machida can be aggressive at times and luke tends to be passive aggressive. Good defense becomes your best offense.

[@IMWATCHING501]

Machida vs Weidman...

[@IMWATCHING501]

Belfort came back to middle?

[@andiztbs]

these scrums are awesome!, sometimes are best than the fights..

[@Iamgilly95]

Baroa has only beat 4 guys in the top 15 and fought like 26 tomato cans, he's good but p4p best come on.

[@kevo1295]

Three top 5's and two top 10's. Barao is at least top 5 p4p based on his skill-set alone.

[@Iamgilly95]

kevo1295 yh but not 1 like dana said, look at jones he has beat like everyone, machida, shogun, sonnen, gussaffson, belfort,and evans/. aldo, johnson, jones, valasquez and rousey are all ahead imo , plus if gsp hadn't retied he would be no1

[@RedberetVC]

I'd put him top 5, maybe 3, but i dont think he's 1.

[@kevo1295]

Gilly "Rousey"......?

[@DaRealFiberOptix]

barao is lethal and would probably even best aldos personality

[@barrygoldwater360]

Beware of Fight Pass folks. No instant cancellation, you will have to email them. The streams are slow, and the content is limited. You can watch a more smooth and enjoyable feed by using the underground streams online. Fight pass is a rip off.

[@stargunner87]

how is it a rip off its free for 2 months big deal its hard to cancel. you do know this two months is pretty much the bata test to make sure shits working right. the streams are smooth and high quality here in California. maybe its just your internet connection? what underground strems sites do you use? the two i know about are good but its like night and day when you compare the quality of the feeds. also fight pass doesn't pop up super loud ass adds ever 10 mins that you cant close or mute...... i like fight pass its still young and needs things changed but i think it's working in the right direction. all good things take time. thats the problem with people now days then don't have patience and want instant gratification.

[@barrygoldwater360]

stargunner87 You are entitled to your opinion which sounds like.. "ya it needs work but should be good one day"... and this is understandable. But most of us would not pay for a piece of shit car just because it has potential, get it?

[@stargunner87]

Adelita Phoenix lol you get that fight pass isn't a car right? its a pay service. two completely different things man. i pay for games in advance to be apart of the bata tests knowing the game play will suck and be buggy. i signed up for fight pass assuming the same(to my surprise it wasn't as bad as i was expecting) this is an online service. how many online services go off with out a hitch? not many. also you are not paying anything right now its a free service until march 1st. can you drive around a car for even a day before deciding you want to spend money on it? nope. do you get it?

[@barrygoldwater360]

stargunner87 Where did it say I was purchasing a subscription to a beta test? Oh ok you just kinda made that up... If you want to buy half ass shit then be my guest. I was simply making a point that the service sux.. get over it.

[@stargunner87]

Adelita Phoenix anything and everything gets tested. when its an online service you need traffic. whats the best way to get internet traffic? offer two free months of service......that's how they make sure it will work right before they make you pay. i haven't purchased anything its still free. all's anyone has done is agree to spend 10 buck a month in two months IF you like the service. you are not paying for a beta test you get to be in the beta test by agreeing to pay the service fees when the time comes and they are willing to let you cancel the service before march 1st. its not like they where like 10 bucks from the start. they are letting people use the service freely getting useful information to make sure the service is up to standards when the actually start charging. you need to get over it.... nothing is perfect from the start especially if its internet based.

[@RicardoPinaRicky]

gotta be the quickest scrum ever!

[@DjLaserShark]

That Zingano/Cruz comment was really cringe worthy. Cruz sure has had some bad luck, but it is in no way comparable to what Cat is going through. Condolences to her.

[@keepcheatin]

As a resident of Wyoming I would like to note, first of all we aren't Mars. On a second note being at a lodge in Jackson Hole isn't the middle of nowhere.

[@atyomommashouse9881]

The look on Dana's face when he said Dominick Cruz and Cat Zingano were "neck and neck" with bad luck....that was kinda awkward cause you know her husband?.....you know?

[@numberone991]

I didnt even think bout that wow

[@skysz86]

yeah...smh

[@thatkoalabear]

i love Dana White & Lorenzo!

[@adamstone_]

i love how everyone kept chanting wooooo last night

[@TheAntManChannel]

The Nature Boy was there xp

[@adamstone_]

i know haha i just thought is was funny

[@JEFFCLEVANDR]

TheAntManChannel That didn't come to my understanding until someone said had mentioned that he was there last night... I was watching the event thinking "is this the same crowd that watched a WWE event??? Why are they doing the Ric Flair 'Wooo'"??? Good to know that he gets love in the MMA community too.

[@TheAntManChannel]

Clev Eland Yeah, I think we all were fans of wrestling at one point or another. Now I'm watching real fighting but respect to the Nature Boy xp

[@adamstone_]

same with me i was a hardcore wrestling fan then in 2009 i started watching ufc and now im addicted

[@Imightberiding]

I'd say Cat clearly has Domonic beat in the bad luck department. Her husband was just found dead yesterday.

[@JEFFCLEVANDR]

Chael Sonnen has them both beat... Dude had to fight Anderson Silva... And on his next fight back (he did not get to have any fights in between) he has to fight JON JONES. He was given the job as being a coach on one of the seasons of TUF... And now he has to be a Coach AGAIN!!! Man I would HATE to be Chael Sonnen.

[@Imightberiding]

Clev Eland I suspect you are having a go at humour. Unfortunately it is true about Cat Zingano's husband. Sadly he did in fact pass away the other day of unknown causes & I'm not certain if she was the one who found his body. Very sad indeed. On your lighter note at being funny. Yeah, it would suck to be Chael. I would never want to come from or make the kind of money he has & certainly I would never like to achieve his level of success & fame & have to appear on TV shows & get paid even more doing it. Man, Chael's life really sucks!

[@youngAssassinAM]

Imightberiding Didn't her husband kill himself?

[@morannon100]

youngAssassinAM Yes

[@youngAssassinAM]

morannon100 Sad..

[@CavemanJesus4Life]

Shane Del Rosario had the worst luck as a fighter, from an injury, to a car accident, to another injury, then back to back loses, then his untimely death.

[@RonnyB0i]

Why aren't they advertising Barao vs Faber as a rematch?

[@pulversilva101]

I really miss my days where I could pick and choose which/when what promotion I wanted to see. A lil SF here, WEC there & certainly UFC whenever. Ya know? #MMA

[@wawuwa]

Yeah - was a cool time,+pride,dream,sengoku etc.

[@roberts59a]

i want danas son to come to one of these scrums and heckling him the whole time

[@Josh-go5lu]

1:38 my exact response when I got the news

[@Burrito9159]

Gilly has a good point, calling him p4p is just absurd! He needs to beat Cruz in order to be the top 135 pounder.

[@DocYAYAYA]

Cain would still fuck Lesnar up. I do think if Lesnar had of started MMA earlier he would of been a crazy good HW.

[@blindbrad11]

true he doesnt really have a skill set.. cus he doesnt take MMA seriously, even when he was training he wasn't with the highest level guys or best camp.

[@tejhim]

Hope the UFC can give Zingano a little cash to help make it through the next year. Some people deserve it and she is one of them.

[@christianpitters8862]

I think after khabib next fight he should fight pettis. Since everyone scared to fight him.. Next to barao the guy has the best record in the ufc period.

[@liamvg]

Who is the guy asking about at 12:28? Dana said he liked his attitude, and then the guy said "are you talking about -so and so-" but I can't hear who he was referring to.

[@MIKOLBZ]

Thats the first time I havent bothered to watch a UFC event in 3-4 Years... & they want to sell me a Fight Pass? Haha

[@rwasta7007]

can someone please tell me why moraga won the fight? i need to know exactly what rounds you think he won, because to me he obviously lost the first and last round

[@Mr.Hyde_23]

He did lose the first and last round for sure. It was another robbery.

[@Josh-go5lu]

1.Jon Jones (obviously) 2. Jose Aldo 3. Cain 4. Baroa 5.Chris wiedman 6. Pettis 7. Johnson 8. Rousey

[@LucFox35]

Ever think about it this way Dana? If Vince gets WWE dropped off the actual Pay Per View channels people aren't gonna have the access to pirate like they do now. Adding the ppvs onto the wwe network package is genius!

[@willrobinson9575]

Maybe you could match up Cruz and Zingano in a crippy match. I would buy the PPV.

[@Real4Bas]

He's talking about Khabib Nurmagamedov.

[@3eemy]

Nice how after Anderson and George are gone , Dana is trying to enforce this image that Barao is top p4p fighter IF he beats Faber , like Faber is a formidable opponent of any kind

[@Hulkamania4eva]

No, Dana...not just the XFL. WBF etc

[@CavemanJesus4Life]

Oh Dana, Vince didn't just fail at XFL, he has also failed in getting WCW a television deal to keep WCW alive after he purchased it. The WBBF also failed, the 1st Wellness policy failed. WWE New York New York restuarant also failed, eventhough he had wrestlers and live programing from there. WWE's loss of MTV's H.E.A.T. and UPN's Velocity

[@viperstrikes38]

Wish the UFC would make a network like the WWE network that way ppl wouldn't have to pay $60 for a ppv

[@Toby-yf7ze]

WWE is not a sport, it should not even be talked about around the UFC.

[@Kujien]

Now GSP is added to the legends of MMA that hate Dana

[@Random2381]

Fight-Pass is crap. Gee, thanks guys! Make me pay ANOTHER monthly fee to have the privilege of being a UFC fan! Do you guys have a fan-page too!? I'd love to make a donation!

[@JasonDibelius]

I'd love to see Rockhold/Silva

[@enesog]

I would love to see Brock Lesnar come back. I also feel like that Lesnar lost because he was sicks. If he was 100% he could have done much better. If he's healthy now, I hope he will come back.

[@HBKCommish]

I'd bet that Vince McMahon is a big closet MMA fan. The man likes boxing and freestyle wrestling, so why wouldn't he like MMA? Also lets not forget that he signed Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn back in the day. And more recently they had Rampage hosting a show. He's definitely a fan, he's just never been one to ever give credit to any direct competition.

[@therock951000]

i agree but rampage was on tna not the wwe. tna is completely different company.

[@JEFFCLEVANDR]

Rampage hosted for a completely different wrestling promotion... Think Bellator and UFC (in fact Bellator is owned by the same company that owns TNA)... I see the relationship between UFC and WWE getting better... They are no longer throwing jabs at each other and are actually going so far as to share talent and compliment each other.

[@HBKCommish]

Back when WWE was doing special Celebrity Hosts for Monday Night Raw, Rampage was one of the hosts. You have a wrestling name as your handle man, how can you not know this?! hahaha

[@therock951000]

HBKCommish lol i must have missed that episode. i just know he was on tna a few months ago cuz i saw him on it

[@HBKCommish]

Yeah that whole Rampage vs Tito thing was very poorly executed by TNA. Could of been a lot better.

[@mora503]

Guess this makes up for no UFC 168 post fight scrum.

[@viperstrikes38]

Like the respect Dana gives to the WWE

[@Storm331]

Sorry Dana, Patriots ain't beating Peyton this year.

[@JamezJitsuV2]

All these Media members are on Dana's nuts

[@blahaim]

Machidas next middleweight champ

[@zhongtv]

what does coy mean?

[@awakeaware6253]

It means "to hide" or "avoid". It comes from a wild dog in the U.S. called Coyote.

[@Don1Gibson]

Kerry Smith Nice, but not true. The origin of the word is Latin - 'Quietus' - the French translation is 'Coi' or 'Quei'. Anglo-Saxon brought this forward as a phonetic phrase - Coy or Quiet. :) (Blooming French... :D )

[@Don1Gibson]

Someone had to! :D

[@CraigTalbert]

Sorry ***** (10:50) the Broncos are going to beat the Patriots and Peyton Manning is going to look great in the process.

[@righthook51]

I hope so, but only because I love Peyton and Welker and I dislike the Pats!

[@K131399]

shitting his shorts aside romero might be indestructible. taking that kick to the head (and even more insane to the back of the head) has to be one of the most freaky things ive ever seen. fedor took a crocop kick to the head back in pride but it was the foot that caught him and crocop said after if it was his shin fedor was going to the hospital at least lol. but brunson put all shin on the back of romero's noggin and it did absolutely nothing. then in the 3rd he took a straight on knee to the face, and again it did nothing. it actually crossed my mind that he could pass out in the locker room and have to be rushed to the hospital with swelling on the brain or something, like it was some freak of nature that his adrenaline somehow masked the head injury until the fight was over and he calmed down. i guess he's one of the rare humans that you can hit in the back of the head with a baseball bat and he's gonna turn around and make you wish he chose to hit you once with the bat lol

[@SCH0K0S0SSE]

i fucking love the ufc! i live in germany and have to wait till its 03:00 in the night till its start here hope they come to berlin and bring ea UFC to PC

[@HappyDinoes]

***** no we have to buy every event free or not asif it were a PPV , im pretty sure that this is for entire Europe

[@SCH0K0S0SSE]

now we have to pay to -.-

[@manuelschindler]

if he didnt have cell service on that mountain, how did he watch it? O.o

[@JThomas13619]

This guy is trying to sell me wolf tickets

[@Polyrytmi]

how can he says barao gets to be #1 p4p... can how can always forget jose aldo

[@BeLikeWater1000]

What a dumb question about moving the Super Bowl

[@RickxDogg]

how the fuck does a win over faber make renan barao the best fighter in the world???what about jon jones,chris weidman and cain velaqez??

[@youngAssassinAM]

Jose Aldo?

[@RickxDogg]

ya no one is talking about jose aldo and he has defended his title more than renan and against top contenders!

[@MrHolden17]

HOLY SHIT UFC POSTING SCRUMS !!

[@ForumKorner]

Is Dana stoned in this or what? Haha

[@pecker101010]

are you fucking kidding me? they are charging for fight night events now too? bullshit.

[@P4PKing]

barao vs aldo make it happen dana

[@MattBCnR]

Denver will win

[@RichDodger1]

WWE and UFC are different businesses UFC is a ppv business WWE is not and that's why there offering their ppvs on the WWE network

[@OwenPrescott]

I read the title as "scum" lol.

[@ramp622]

You read it incorrectly.

[@06livefast]

These people are so awkward lol fuck man Dana played this like a boss I would have lost it

[@JLPuffums]

Fight pass is FREE right now, of course it's doing well....

[@kaizenmckenzie4782]

HHH hate mma as well he made Vincent hate mma more calling it a blood sport

[@toonses4300]

Why is Dana wasting his time with these young punk reporters?

[@RazorSharp559]

Welcome to good burger home of the good burger can i take yo order?!

[@agonforreal]

Khabib nurmagomedov (not sure if i got the last name right)

[@JackSJonathanson]

Dana is da man!

[@djbig494]

barao is p4p number 1 now dana? just like edgar was?

[@zmanel3jaib]

Dana White is the best

[@TheKidkayoz]

What the fuck is Dana drinking.

[@CLOVERCITYY15]

3:00 minutes is complete bs if barau or however U spell it stops faber he's best my assss

[@EraserTraceur]

Feed Vitor Weidman. Hmmmm.

[@codypelletier4326]

Where's the scrum? That was boring as hell 13:50 lost lol

[@morannon100]

Not a single word on GSP and his reasons to quit because of UFC "Didnt like the way UFC reacted by not supporting him in his will to clean the sport" "Says that UFC stance on doping is one of the main reasons he decided to quit." "There's too much on the line for them to clean the sport. Also, there are nasty things going on behind the scenes he can't talk about." "Direction of where the sport is going is very idiotic. He wants to do everything he can to change the sport." Cant understand why noone asked about that.. maby they should renamed "Dana White Scrum" to "Dana White Asslicking contest" :-)

[@hollowghost2]

What? I dislike Dana as much as the next guy, but those questions have been asked to death already. On the same night of this event, Dana went on to Fox Sports and spoke about what Gsp and all that nonsense.

[@morannon100]

hollowghost2 Well i heard about that test talk when they fought but i never heard him speak so much and clear about the problems with UFC / Doping being the main reason he quit, and since th article was dated 14:th Jan 2014 i thought it was kinda news... I can only agree though, i think its very unfair with for example this TRT and shit, and im not 100% up to date how they handle stuff but i mean if they REALLY wanted to have a clean org. they would take even MORE actions against doping with extremely frequent/random testings to make sure what their stand point is on this. But i guess they cant and wont because it would end up with shitloads of average Joe's injured all the time, not "superhumans" or.. "The Phenom" lol... I guess i couldnt care less relaly if someone is so desperate for making it to the top so that they decide to put all kiiiind of shitz into their body but the least thing they could do is have 2 different leagues, one where there is shitloads of testings and much harder regulated against doping, and one where its allowed to do shit, and we could still have theese "Phenoms" wich would make it fair to the ones who wanna play it natural. Im sure UFC would get better rep. for it, fair for the fighters, fair for the viewers, right?

[@hollowghost2]

I completely agree with you on stricter testing, I think the thing standing between that is the cost of doing the tests. Maybe they could do Main and co-main only(stricter testing along with the rest of the card still getting tested after the fight like they usually do, if you get what i'm saying haha).

[@phatbastard2026]

hollowghost2 Cost has nothing to do with it! The cost of a test is less than 40 dallors for Test levels!

[@hollowghost2]

The UFC is a business that is very cheap with its money. A story going on right now with Gilbert Melendez proves it. One of the best lightweights in the world, whom Dana praised when he faced Diego, is now "garbage", because he is renegotiating his contract, and because the UFC isn't willing to give him the money he wants, they are talking down on him for talking with Bellator. $40 or however much it is too much to them if they aren't going to make anything off of it.

[@MystiCalBEING89]

Dana white is the best such a cool dude

[@mathewmarino4830]

Machida vs belfort for no1 contender!

[@jdeebz303]

Bring Brock back !!!

[@jaredv2012]

Dana is cool af but he won't be seeing the Pats in the Superbowl #BroncosCountry

[@jankins1234]

What happened Dominick?

[@jankins1234]

to*

[@TheAntManChannel]

he hasn't fought since 2011, I think; and as good as he is, he could have ring rust from it. Can't go that long without fighting, gotta give up the belt, unfortunately.

[@TheHoboWithAShotgun]

TheAntManChannel he pussied it with a bullshit fake inury cause eh knew he was gonna lose his belt. So hes hoping his replacement beats him then mircally recover say he never lost belt and fight faber for belt.

[@TheAntManChannel]

TheDiscipleOfHell Dominick's the true Champ, he would demolish Barao.

[@heathweather5995]

God cursed his body to be injury prone.

[@trinity4500]

i just wanted to make sure i wasnt the only who who thought dana white was on something.. so.. we know that hes on something.. i guess the next question is what is dana white on? would also like to know what ronda takes she seems the same way in interviews it seems,, but what do i know... i dont do drugs.. o wait.. yes i do

[@DoubleH215]
