I can think of a few other fighters (Vera, Machida) who need to realize that. Losing once in awhile never hurts your standing if your fights are good.

Honestly, I appreciate Dana White more and more. How many businessmen out there are underhanded, tell you what you want to hear, and then stab you in the back? I honestly think Dana is incapable of lying. Basically, any thought that enters his head comes out his mouth immediately. I wish my former business partner had been more like Dana.

He doesn’t have to speak highly of him. He also doesn’t have to degrade him or make asinine statements like “Fedor is a farce” “Maybe a top 4 or 5 HW” etc.. the list goes on.

Also, I’m so tired of people defending Dana White’s moronic hyperbole in the name of business. You can run your business without being a world class douche.

Millions of people do it every day.

I disagree about him not being athletically gifted. Look at him. His size alone helped him beat guys like Monson. A lot of fighters would love to have his natural gift of his height and weight. I think his main weakness is his lack of aggression.

Poor sportsmanship.

Business is business and Zuffa can decide when and if they want to do bring in Fedor. I think they should because without him, their Champion is still #2. I hope we get to see Nogueira vs Fedor 4 in the Octagon someday.

I’ve heard from various outlet’s that Sylvia pissed off the Zuffa brass before his bout with Nogueira. Money and his attitude being at the center of it. We all know Dana will say whatever he wants, when he wants. This is simply just another case of that. I dout we’ll ever see Tim-eh back in the Big Show again. But if he earns it then so be it.

But Tim lost, and Dana treated him like shit, like he does anyone else that he has no use for.

He was right about Tim Sylvia. The ‘Snooziac’ has been put out to pasture, which is a win-win for all of us.

Sylvia made his money, will fight a few more times and then hang it up and spend his time relaxing, well he’ll spend more time relaxing because he was already half asleep in the cage all the time.

I don’t know why you print his interviews any more, i dont know why anyone does. People say he’s entertaining? A big part of being entertaining is unpredictability. Everything he comes out with is the same predictable nonsense. Pick a topic; i’m fairly certain we could foretell what he’ll say.

He clearly isnt worried about any kind of fan backlash but logic dictates that if the UFC President continually disrespects popular fighters then their fans will in turn be less faithful to the UFC.

This will be a strange comparison but a lot of the things he does is comparable to a ruthless dictator, maybe he is. Everything he says is all part of the UFC brainwashing of the casual fan; “if the UFC president is saying it then its probably true”, “Noone seems to be calling him on his outrageous statements so i guess its a fact” I think MMA personalities need to start ridiculing his nonsense, are they scared of how far his power extends by any chance?

He was a question mark after the Mir fight and now he’s a factor all of a sudden. Even Fedor is talking about fighting him. That’s a big turn around in one fight.

I think he’s going to be a threat to any HW that doesn’t have strong submission skills since he can take anyone down.
