Dana White is truly double-edge sword. Without him UFC and MMA will not be as globally known, but then you also have this side of him.

I think in the years to come after his eventual retirement the mma world will see him as an oxymoron - a revered and also controversial figure. He’ll be in the same boat as people like David Stern, Vince McMahon and Bernie Ecclestone.

I could just find another job and have no problem. Nobody knows who I am. In the grand scheme of it all, we are nobodies. The difference here with MMA is these men beat the sh*t out of each other for a living, are signed to contracts, and their likenesses are utilized as a brand seen globally by millions, if not billions. They can't "just leave", they have to fulfill their contract. The issue at hand is Dana White is butthurt about these fighters who want more leeway to use said brand and basic f*cking healthcare. He's going as far as to act like these men never even existed, because they're not yes men.

Allowing in-organic talking heads to sneak in and act organic like that annoying Nina drama, all to appeal to lowest common denominator fans is a slap in the face to anyone with a brain.

I never understand the "Demetrius/askren trade was bad" take. If you think about it Demetrius staying in the UFC wouldn't matter at that time since not a lot of people cared about the division. On the other hand Ben getting knocked tf is the most high profile KO or at least one of in the UFC and shot Jorge into stardom making him a star and getting 4-5 high profile fights against Nate, Colby and Usman. Individualy Ben Askren trade sucked but for UFC that was the best outcome they could've hoped for.

TBF the mighty mouse trade was actually a great trade for Dana. Talent wise it was terrible but oney wise it was an amazing trade. If Mighty Mouse had stayed, he still wouldn't have gotten those big numbers its proven from how long he's been in the UFC. But because they brought Askren over, Jorge was able to land that knee which rocketed him to stardom (albeit short) and generated a couple of big PPV numbers that Mighty Mouse couldn't even match up to with every PPV card he's headlined combined. So to conclude, skill wise yes it was one of the worst trades ever but skills don't pay the bills, money does, and money wise, making Jorge a star made Dana more money than DJ ever could so therefore trading DJ for Ben Askren was an amazing trade.

[@PotatoSlices]

The trade ended up benefitting both Dana and Mighty Mouse

[@9ine-fd6zc]

Rodtang vs Dj was a big experiment and it worked so well

[@cobracommander9138]

I'm surprised you mentioned Frank Shamrock I don't think you were even born when that was going on. Dana hated that Randy was making movies and said "Randy has gone Hollywood". Dana took away all of the fighters sponsors but then got mad when they tried to make money in other ventures. Dana has also tried to erase Quinton Rampage Jackson from the history books. After, Rampage played Mr. T in the A-Team, which was Rampage's childhood dream, Dana worked to get Rampage black listed from other movie projects he had in the works.

Great video as usual man, but you forgot one guy who you did mention in the video, Tito Ortiz, probably the 2nd guy after Frank that Dana constantly tries to erase and to not unknowledge his accomplishments.

[@soangeckie-y9n]

I'm not super familiar with the UFC or mma for that matter but here are my 2cents from my observation as a casual lol 1) Dana wants the UFC to be a monopoly when it comes to mma and he has been successful in that, in the western hemisphere at the very least. 2) Lack of competition allows him to do whatever he wants even if it is unethical just because he feels like it, since he knows that people will still watch. 3) Dana cares about narrative control since it is a story hook that gets people well.. hooked and watching ufc consistently. 4) His target audience is people who can be persuaded into gambling, drinking and other reckless behavior since that creates more sensationalism and hype and a bandwagon effect of otherwise more rational people. But most importantly it makes his recurring sponsors the most money and in turn him. 5) relating to #4 his fighters have to reflect the behavior he wants his audience to engage in, meaning it is better that more problematic/reckless fighters are the center of attention since he knows that will draw a similar audience which means more money for him from his target audience. 6) again relating to #4&5 it is not a great financial decision for him to promote unproblematic fighters especially fighters who are practicing muslims. Given that muslim fighters while drawing eyeballs do not draw eye balls with a lot of purchasing power relatively speaking. The majority population is also religious and therefore not willing to spend money on gambling, alcohol, ppv, or tickets. The only reason it works in the UAE is because of that sweet oil money and the fact that the (oil money)audience is only religious by name and not in practice therefore willing and able to spend in the way he desires. that being said as flimsy as this is gonna sound..I can only see dana correcting his behavior if a large part of his audience start watching and supporting the competition promotions, and citing his unethical behavior as their reason for not watching UFC. If it is a large part of the audience his sponsors will want to hold him accountable financially at least. Dana obeys money... meaning he will do the ethical thing as a means to make money.

@@brandonamezquita4501 I can totally see that. Hence why I put “arguably”.

[@brandonamezquita4501]

@@phxntom-striker You didn't put arguably. You said that it's equally as great, but it's not really close.

@@brandonamezquita4501 sorry meant “up for discussion” but same difference? 💀 Jon quite literally is the PED king. That taints his legacy in itself. Mighty Mouse dominated his division and it wasn’t even close. Jon lost to Dominik Reyes and had a razor close battle with Alexander.

[@brandonamezquita4501]

@@phxntom-striker Yeah, the Reyes fight was a robbery, but Jon still has a better resume. FlyW was a shallow division.

As long as Dana is in the UFC, Francis Ngannou will NEVER come back.

[@kaarlitosmall2508]

Francis literally shitted on Dana and the ufc in a good way, bro made BANK. TWICE

[@FrankoDoBronx]

Sure it’s not fair , & sure it’s find of wrong but we have to remember BOTH sides did something to tick the other off no matter how you look at it the UFC is a business & Francis Made there business look bad so I don’t doubt the UFC would not acknowledge him

[@fosyay1780]

Dana also downplays Tito Ortiz every chance he gets

[@Boombox-vw5mt]

Nunes should be included in that list.

Dana has truly done more good than harm for the ufc but damn his ego hurts the fans so much

The two kangs, not three.

[@joeswanson5486]

I honesty think it’s time for Dana to retire

[@sweetpotato1929]

Did he not apologize about Francis thing

[@brandiepop]

it annoys me that the popularity of ufc in the west lies entirely in danas hands despite the fact he keeps promoting slap contests when nobody cares instead of creating a big muay thai league and tries to make people forget about anybody who he didnt like no matter how great they were.

[@brandonamezquita4501]

My guess is that he doesn't want something that competes with MMA. He has a grappling league and even lets his fighters do grappling events, but no striking ones.

Dana white, although great in what he has done, is an absolute prick in the way fighters are treated, lack of proper pay, lack of medical and overall a lack of respect for those actually putting their lives on the line, I hope one day he leaves and the ufc hopefully becomes better for it

I was extremely happy for Francis Ngannou when the Fury fight was announced. Just to remind everyone that Ngannou was not doing that just for himself but for all the UFC fighters who were putting their lives on the line for 12k when they step in the cage. Also the long term effects like CTE. Dana White thought that his release from UFC would end up as a disaster but it backfired on Dana. Must have been a dreadful news for Dana to hear how much money he started making as soon as he exited the UFC.

[@brandonamezquita4501]

Dana was still going to pay him millions. He just didn't want Francis to box because he didn't want his HW champ to be humiliated.

[@veziAk47]

@@brandonamezquita4501 I don't think you saw Jared Cannonier's octagon after fight interview and so many other fighters too. They put their lives on the line. Other organizations pay so much better. Dana uses his leverage as UFC is the best MMA organization. Dana is bloody liar by the way saying he offered Ngannou the biggest contract in the HW.

@@veziAk47 🤣. Bro, the numbers are out there. UFC champs make six figures to millions. The ONE FC champ that beat DJ was only making 50k. UFC guys start at 12k/12k. ONE has guys at 1k/1k. As for PFL, they literally just released a guy because they wouldn't pay him what he made at Bellator. The only good thing about the PFL is the tournament's winning price.

@@brandonamezquita4501 lOl How many times a fighter fights in an year??? Especially the ones who recently joined the UFC after making their bodies go through hell by fighting in small promotions. Dana makes millions almost every PPV and pays those fighters just peanuts. You're not even aware of the fact that how much a fighter has to share with his coaches and gyms. All the brian damage that all of them take. Talking is easy but I don't think you're much initiated on the hell that fighters go through in fight camps...The fighters you are are looking at who have expensive cars plus life style became champions already
