Dana White Says What Everyone is Thinking

Here’s the great side of Dana White, when he’s saying exactly what everyone is thinking.

“It disgusts me,” White told the Herald. “I’ve been busting my (expletive) for 10 years flying all over the planet to show everybody what a great sport this is and what amazing people are involved in it. Then CBS throws this guy who fights at people’s barbecues on the main event because they’re trying to compete with us, and he gets knocked out in (14) seconds by a guy who didn’t win ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ and couldn’t fight in the UFC. Then the guy turns around the next day and says, ‘The promoters actually paid me to not go to the ground with this guy. They paid me to stand up,’ which I’m pretty sure is illegal.”

And Dana is exactly right. The sport has come so far in the last five - ten years, and EliteXC is doing as much they possibly can to bury it. The UFC was right to say no to the CBS deal, especially with the way they’ve handled this situation thus far. Put on the circus, and only care about ratings.
