Top 10 Dana White Quotes

Dana White is getting a lot of guff over his announcement that he had a shocking announcement and the subsequent announcement that the shocking announcement is being delayed. So, rumors and anger are running rampant across the blogosphere. Many think White is just a putz – right, Tito? – while others think he’s a cunning and shrewd business man. Personally, we think he’s a brilliant guy and we’re willing to wait on the big announcement because we feel certain he’ll deliver. After all, this is one of the men who helped resurrect the UFC from ridicule and disgust to the single most successful mixed martial arts promotion on the planet. So, while we wait, here’s a list of the “Top 10 Dana White Quotes” of all-time according the fellas over the TheMMAPost.com.

10. Hell, forget about college. I barely finished high school.

9. I’m a guy that did exactly what he wanted to do. When you do that the money follows.

8. Boxing is a road map of what not to do. The greedy promoters basically killed the sport by taking it off free TV.

7. If you take four street corners, and on one they are playing baseball, on another they are playing basketball and on the other, street hockey. On the fourth corner, a fight breaks out. Where does the crowd go? They all go to the fight.

6. The deal-closers are the live events. If you come to a live event, you leave that place done, you’re hooked, you’re in. It is the greatest live sporting event you will ever see.

5. You show up at a [Los Angeles] Lakers game, you’ll never meet Kobe Bryant. But when you show up to a UFC event, odds are pretty damn good that you’re not only going to meet Liddell, but he’s going to sign what you need signed and take a picture with you.

4. A lot of times, kids go to college and take a major because they do what they think they’re supposed to do. I told them I believe 90 percent of America gets up in the morning and drives to a job they hate. That could have happened to me in the hotel industry.

3. That’s one of the things when you go to a UFC event live, the energy in the place is crazy. People are there because they’re passionate about it.

2. It’s really the last nail in the coffin with the media not giving us the credibility and not looking at us as a real sport. The cover of Sports Illustrated, the talk shows – we’re there. We’ve finally arrived.

1. People don’t realise what gifted athletes these guys are. Think about how hard it is to become a professional boxer. These guys are without doubt the greatest athletes in the world.

Wait, what about “No, it’s Playboy, asshole!“?

Dana White is ready to rock the MMA world, possibly by selling the UFC to FOX


The other day we told you about the possibility of Floyd Mayweather Jr. stepping into the cage and fighting for the UFC. We still don’t know if that is going to be Dana White’s big announcement this Thursday, but it is definitely an intriguing option. However, MMARated.com has word that something bigger is brewing. One idea that is being tossed around is that White will announce that Anderson Silva is jumping up in weight to fight Chuck Liddell this fall. Another possibility is that the UFC will join forces with Golden Boy Promotions. Then comes the doozie, Zuffa has sold the UFC to the king of trash TV FOX.

Ah yes, the big (and most logical) one which comes to us from a reliable source. We’ve heard the UFC on FOX rumors for quite some time and we’ve also heard the rumors that the promotion was on sale. We also know that the UFC was not willing to work with a network unless they had full production control. However, what if a network bought them for a hefty price? Then, all of a sudden, that issue is, well, an non-issue. The bottom line is that this is the kind of announcement you rent a secret location for.

Is the Zuffa/UFC era about to end? Have the Fertittas and White cashed out? Thursday can’t come soon enough.

That’s one way to get Tito Ortiz off his back.

Dana White still despises Tito Ortiz


If you know anything about the UFC then you know owner Dana White and fighter Tito Ortiz absolutely hate each other. Oh, you’re new to the sport? Well, here, let us give you a quick synopsis of White’s current feelings for the former UFC champ turned Donald Trump wannabe crony.

“Tito is a f�”ing idiot,” White said. “He’s one of the dumbest human beings I’ve ever met. Everything that comes out of his mouth makes no sense.”

White added that he doesn’t think UFC needs Ortiz because he doesn’t think Ortiz can beat any of UFC’s top fighters.

“I put up with his s�” when he was a good fighter,” White said. “He’s not anymore.”

“He’s not in anybody’s Top 10,” White said. “I have no interest whatsoever in being in the Tito Ortiz business. … I’ve never wanted to see anyone get their ass kicked worse than I want to see Tito get his kicked next Saturday night.”

Ortiz getting his ass handed to him by Lyoto Machida this weekend might be pretty embarrassing for the Huntington Beach Bad Boy, but can anything really be more humiliating for Ortiz than his relationship with this?!
