Only the ones who ride Dana's c*ck - and are ONLY fans of the sport by way of The Ultimate Fighter reality show. Caplan gives a great interview and Millen comes across so much better than Dana White ever has - White should take some cues on how to address media/fans of MMA instead of always giving his best Vince McMahon impression and looking like a tool.

I really don't understand why people say they hate or don't like Dana or Jerry. An MMA organization is a BUSINESS first and in the US it's about being profitable. They have different views on certain things but they're the same type of person and I don't really see that as a bad thing. I don't know how good of a businessman he really is, but I think M-1 will be around longer than EliteXc and Affliction. Wow Sam, you got a pretty good interview.

No idea on this guy's qualifications, but not sure why you think that or what it is Dana White should get credit for. I read (here?) he was initially against the TUF reality show that is credited with building up the UFC success. In the plus column, he gets a lot of free press by mouthing off (even though it's incredibly annoying). It makes sense for the UFC to try to build a monopoly (and anyone - is it the Fertitas who are the real smart moguls? - who even has some understanding of Monopoly should know that) but long-term in individual sports, it's the stars (and agents who see $ albeit many are probably smarter than Juanito), not the orgs. Fans don't give a crap that Tyson held a unified belt of x, y, z, boxing orgs, or what boxing star is from what boxing org. We certainly remember how great the young Tyson was. We remember the individuals and certain bouts. Same thing with UFC, Pride, Affliction, WEC, EliteXC, Strikeforce, etc. It's certain fights and fighters that stick in our memory. I could give a crap about the org, irrational brand loyalty to an org, etc. Who cares? The sooner the mainstream media tells these stories and focuses less on business competition, the better. “If this guy could trade places with Dana he would do it in a heart beat and try to do the EXACT same things, but fail.”

As long as he's riding on Fedor's ballsack, and working with Affliction & those crazy russians, I'm not buying a single PPV.

There's about 5 straight up LIES in this interview that Millen told. I'm impressed that Sam got through interviewing him without puking.

Also, I disagree with the other commenters. Everything this guy said rang true to me, even if he sees $ in the fighters (everyone who is not a fighter is making a buck off the fighters - of course - ultimately it'll be about the fighters not some monopoly promotion - in individual sports, that is eventually true - the economics simply favors this situation - look at boxing, golf, tennis, whatever - that there is no room for multiple promotions is either self-interested hype from the UFC or just plain stupidity from people who don't understand business or economics).

This guy i'm sure is "all about the money to",but for people to constantly support White,and Lorenzo who make statements like Fedor is irrelevant which is not just a statement following the company line it's a flat out lie their telling people.Dana once said Fedor is not a top 5 heavyweight,how can anyone believe one thing he says after saying something that ridiculous.
