Hahahahahaha, now I really like Dana!!!!!!
He was pretty wasted, they shouldn't let him do interviews when he's loaded:))
hahaahaha, I actually like him drunk more then when he's serious so that means goodbye bud light, hello smirnoff vodka
"that should be your news repor-... yea you know what I'm saying" HAHAHA i LOVE IT!
This mind sound strange but for sum reason i see jones beating allistair if you look at it jones can be real fast and onorthodox
he could suprise allistair with one of his kicks
It takes time let Jones get up to 245-255 lbs on his frame. He will be just as deadly at HW
lay off the sud's
at least hes consistent and trashes everybody whos not going to make him money
Ofcourse its about the money. what else? his big lunchbox fists? And btw i dont mind because its his job
It is his job to promote his fighters, not rubbish other people. Big difference. I never thought that was a job except for trash talking to hype up a fight. Pathetic opinion to say the least.
Thats right,......wash it down with a Red Bull....
Things like this is why I like Dana, to be fully honest he keeps it real.
I feel Jones is the most valuable star in the UFC based on age and potential. He's got a long way to go but if he keeps his head straight, I think Jones will go down as the best of all time. With that said I think Dana should give GSP or Silva the spot left by Brock.
i really hope jones fills brocks spot on the UFC and gets his ass kicked the same way brock did on his last 2 fights
If Jones does lose to anyone, I would guess it would be to Dan Henderson, but it wouldn't be a TKO like Brock's fights. More than likely a clean KO from a hendobomb to the jaw.
I don't think he would lose to Henderson at least not likely, Jones will probably submitt him i think but with mma u never know so everything is possible
Yeah, if it goes to the ground Jones would probably sub him, but if it's the first or second round when Henderson is still fresh I think he has the best chance at stopping Jones. I don't see Rashad being more of a challenge for Bones than Machicida was.
This is pretty disrespectful and yeah yeah it's funny but it's ungrateful and ungracious. Brock went in there, with little MMA knowledge and banged with the baddest guys on the planet. He also earned the UFC a ton of money and attracted millions of people to the sport. He came back after life threatening surgery and participated in all the media circuses and did interviews even though he hated it.
The guy's just retired and he was clearly upset to do it and I think this is pretty harsh by Dana.
I think you are mistaking Dana for a guy that gives a shit about that kind of stuff, "it's all about the money" plays in danas head 24/7.
It's like that line from the movie Ali.
Muhammad Ali: Don King has done so much for the black race.
Ali's Wife: Honey, Don King talks black, lives white, and thinks green.
Dana's a good salesman, but the fact that he's always selling his product is fairly transparent.
?? Brock's the one that want's to go to WWE. He's been talking about the WWE for two years now, and he admitted in the ring he would have walked away after the next fight anyway. Brock made the UFC a bunch of money, and he pushed his status to unreal heights as well.
Dana wasn't being petty. He was just answering a question.
Lol Dana's wasted, handled it well though as always.
well its good he's no jackass when on the drink
To be fair Dana's allowed to be all about the money, it's his job. When I go to work in the morning, it's all about the money. I'm not doing it for fun or to please anyone.
Good to see a lot of people I have seen talking trash on Dana White talking highly of him... that he isn't such a bad guy after all!
Ide love to do his job, always traveling, flying, staying first class flying first class. Drinks at night ,women, work all day. Dude! I'm in!
Not a Dana fan but can someone tell me where he disrespects Lesner?
I think 95% of the people commenting didn't bother to watch the video before they posted. Instead, they just misinterpret the headline, and then go ahead and post the first thing that pops into their heads.
Dana is heard in the beginning saying WE and was corrected, its the WWE, so I think its safe to say Dana was imlying that Brock can go back to WWE.. I SAW the video and thats my take on it.
Dana was making fun of the way the reporter spoke. How is saying Brock can go back to WWE disrespectful? He is saying Brock can work.
finally,GTFO Brock!!!
If we yell that at you will you leave?
Dana seems cool as shit. I kept expecting him to blast the dude interviewing him but he kept it cool.
as if he didn't know how many W's are in WWE
no money it for dana. he doesnt give a shit about u
