Dana White: Houston Alexander’s strategist for Kimbo fight should be ‘kicked in the nuts for about five minutes’
While Dana White has already made his plans to cut Houston Alexander public, the UFC President recently went a step further in a recent interview with MMAFanhouse, stating that whoever came up with the battle plan for the normally exciting to watch light heavyweight should be treated to a one sided game of roshambo.
“Whoever came up with Houston Alexander’s game plan ought to be kicked in the nuts for about five minutes,” said Dana. “I don’t know if his coaches came up with that or whatever but not only did they give him the wrong game plan, they completely destroyed everything about Houston Alexander.”
Houston seemed unwilling to engage Kimbo Slice during the TUF 10 Finale in a bout that many expected to be a short-lived war. Unfortunately for the fans along with Alexander’s future competing in the UFC, nothing could have been further from the truth as the two “knockout artists” stared at each other for the majority of the bout, with brief spurts of actual fighting.
“I don’t know if Kalib Starnes trained him for that fight or what the deal was but it was horrible,” said White. “Horrible.”

Does dana ever shut the f*ck up?
Seriously.
And enough of comparing Houston to Kalib Starnes…
He looked more like Lyoto Machida to me.
I was thinking the same about you.
The rules in place about fighter bashing extend to your fellow readers here. If you don’t disagree with someone, fine, but posting for no other reason than to bash another will not be tolerated. – Staff
I am siding a bit with Nick Havock here, kind of crappy of Dana to be kicking the guy while he is down. After all we all know we have seen worse fights before and we will see worse again.
How can you not laugh when you see that Headline?
Please note: Nick, this is a Rhetorical Question, I do not actually want you to answer.
I know. All this public belittleing by Dana is just getting embarrassing for him now. I mean not only is he making himself look stupid, but he is making the UFC look stupid in the process.
I just don’t see how Dana thinks constantly sh*t talking the fighters could help him in the long run? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
What, because Houston didn’t run straight out and eat a bunch of Kimbo punches he is now public enemy #1 to the UFC?
How about this instead…
F*CK YOU, DANA WHITE!
…and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
This is exactly why I don’t support the UFC and why I prefer to jack their PPVs online instead of rightfully pay for them.
I’ll never give my money to this little f*cker.
Hell to tha nizzo!
While I used to be a fan of Dana and his somewhat brash ways and how he got business done, there didn’t used to be other viable options and you just had fighters crying about pointless stuff. But more and more over the last couple of years he has gone from being the edgy business man to just being a plain dick cause he can. Everytime something like this gets released I just cringe and it makes me like him less and less. I feel bad for the UFC organization. The UFC is the best MMA organization but Dana just keep spewing his mouth at a time where the business is finally hitting the main stream. From comments like this and his bout with that reporter he baged on and then stopped doing his youtube blog over, he just seems to continually put his foot in his mouth and make himself look bad. LIke it or not, he is the face of the UFC and to many the face of MMA. If he doesn’t get his ego and his love for hearing himself talk in check soon, who knows how much damage he will do. The UFC has done a great job promoting the sport and White has been a huge part of it but all of this crap that he keeps spouting out just seems like it will only detract from the sport in the long run.
OK, this last article really sent me off into the deep end.
Why does the UFC (Dana White) feel the need to be this way? And honestly, who the hell does he think he is getting off talking like this about people?
Damn this infuriates me! It also makes me look down upon the UFC as a whole. Because that entire promotion is a direct reflection of Dana and how he runs things.
…which is not fair to the fighters. AT ALL. They have nothing to do with this.
But as long as Dana wants to act this way…my feelings will stay the same about him and the promotion he runs.
Yes, one person choosing to boycott his PPVs is insignificant…but it is really the only way I can excercise my voice on the matter. I have to talk with my money.
…oh yeah, and I will also post my unsugar-coated thoughts about him too on an online forum hoping others will read it and wake up to see what kind of classless, power-hungry tyrant they are supporting.
i almost cant stand to read comments on a post anymore. seriously. this nick havok fool is just ruining one of the last decent bastions for posting on mma. i cant stand to read 4-6 stupid comments from him on EVERY post. its driving me nuts go back to mmajunkie where i dont have to read anything you say. we were doing wonderful without you. please dont post 10 replies. just dont post here anymore. you make me & others not want to post.
dana’s call kimbo a knockout artist…. somebody bring him to the hospital please something wrong with his head…lolll who the hell did kimbo knockout in mma? he might have a chance against kim couture..loll. dana is prouving that what fedor sais about him was the truth.i would pay 500.00 for a ppv to see dana fight fédor.he likes money than go for it . loll
Damn dude…it is really that big of a deal to have to read people’s differing opinions on things?
What’s the big deal? If you don’t like what I got to say…then just scroll down.
It’s not hard.
Nick, you have become the Tito Ortiz of the MMA boards lol. I thought Dana’s suggestion as to Houston’s gameplan-maker was very strange, but pretty funny.
While I don’t condone a whopping 5 minute nut-kick and we should really expect a more mature president of UFC, I found it funny enough to let it slide.
Just call me Mr. Thumbs-down.
But seriously, kicking someone in the nuts for 5 minutes? Really? You guys thought that was funny?
If you liked that then you would love the movie Jackass where all the dudes strip down to their undies, sit with their legs open in a big circle and take turns throwing dog bones at each others balls.
Well it’s not like I was on the floor howling, but the suggestion was so out of the ordinary I was like, “What the hell, kicked in the nuts?! That’s friggin weird…..but kind of funny.”
And that Jackass skit was pretty funny to be completely off-topic. I haven’t seen it in a few years but it was a pretty funny game, although I will never say that from first hand experience.
I honestly think the funniest thing is how Dana said Houston has a strategist.
Really? A strategist huh?
LOL.
Who needs coaches or trainers if you can just go get yourself a strategist? Hahaha!
LOL!
I know…I liked the skit too!
I am a sucker for anything Jackass related.
This is really, really off-topic…but if you like Jackass then you MUST see the movie Dirty Sanchez. Those guys on there make Jackass look G-rated.
the headline for this artcle is funny
the picture cracks me up even more
Dana looks like a complete — in that picture.
Like his — was behind the camera making funny faces for him to laugh at.
Going to have to include Dana White in the list of people not to bash. If you don’t like him, or disagree with him, state why. But please don’t just insult blindly. - Staff
you my friend,are an …
Last time guys: You can’t post just to insult a fellow poster. If you disagree, vote it down. If you don’t care for the person, make the choice to skip past what they say.- Staff
Nick Havok gets thumbs down like he’s Dana White himself.
That being said, the photo in the article is perfect. It’s nice to be able to put the dbag words with his dbag face.
sorry didnt mean just trying to be funny i like havok. alot of passion
No worries ndizzle, just trying to keep the peace. Thanks - Staff
The obvious rejoinder to White’s statement is that before you can kick the strategist, you have to catch him. That might prove to be difficult.
Staff, Sorry for getting crazy on here.
I get too emotional about things sometimes.
But these Dana articles are KILLING ME. They are bringing out the worst feelings I have.
One question I would ask based on all the staff warnings to people on this article, is if readers are asked not to bash fighters or fellow readers, why post an article where the president of the UFC is doing just that? If the article was posted as an opinion piece with one of the staff discussing this kind of behaviour pro or con I could see the relevance but when it’s just posted as a hey look what Dana White said now it just doesn’t seem constructive to the atmosphere you are trying to encourage.
If Dana White makes a negative statement about one of his former athletes, that does not give anyone here a free pass to start calling him gay or telling each other to go f*** themselves. There’s a pretty obvious line here. If people cross it, they’re warned. If they continue, they’re banned from commenting.- Staff
The caption to Dana’s picture should read: “Can I pound on your junk for five minutes there, guy?”
[deleted] – No insults. You’ve been warned - Staff
Hi staff please don’t turn this place into a police state I think it’s fine to have opinions on fighters and other posters as long as it doesn’t get personal. This world is starting to get too p.c as it is so taking away peoples right to tell somebody to get f**cked is just not on. I’ve been guilty of saying I don’t like fighters but that’s my opinion and isn’t everybody entitled to their own?
Don’t take things personally.
And yes that photo of Dana looks like he just dropped a real bad fart in an elevator.
They’re not saying that you can’t voice your opinion, just that if you’re going to say something negative about a fighter/promoter, have a little taste.
Fair enough.
Nick as someone who likes to read comments for MMA Fans and people who know what there talking abouts opinion I would like to with No offence formally ask you to stop commenting. Seriously dude its getting ridiculous, just stop.
Given both their loses of late, I think that Dana should have kept Houston Alexander for one more fight and give Keith Jardine a chance to redeem himself.
Request denied.
Censorship and political correctness are two of the most sickening things holding back modern society. Just as it’s Nick Havok’s right to continually contribute completely useless comments, it is our right to express how they’re making us feel.
To put it into perspective for you, almost 1/3 of the comments on this page are his and have been blurred out, making it an eyesore to the point I don’t even want to scroll down further than your articles because I’m assuming I’ll see 13 of his scatterbrained comments polluting everything around them. It’s clear his stupidity knows no bounds other than infuriating people with it’s lack of sense or purpose and that the train wreck he is turning these comments sections into is derailing your site horribly with little to no chance of finding survivors in the wreckage.
The people commenting about his comments clearly aren’t the problem.
Is this Nick Havock part of the 5 oz. Staff?
More staff edits on this post more than any I’ve seen in the past.
whats goin on here?
