Dana White Unleashes Another Tirade

Yesterday it was the Orange County Register. Today its the the Boston Herald. UFC President Dana White this time takes specific aim at EliteXC Live Events President Gary Shaw as well as clarifies his stance on HDNet Fights’ Mark Cuban.

Article

Another fine example of Dana giving us more bleeping bleep to laugh at on a near-daily basis. Love him or hate him, gotta love it.

Yeah, i choose to love it, but everything he said there is 100% accurate, the only question mark is whether he will be here in 5 years or whether he/fertitas will have sold it to Vinny Mac!

I love this man!!!! Hahah he knows how to keep the UFC brand out there!

First off I am a fan of all MMA organizations.
From the start I have followed everything I could get my hands on....and I still do.
I am not biased towards the UFC...but I do have to say...thumbs up Dana.
I am tired of people bashing him and the UFC.
Every critic, fan and competitor can attack him but when he strikes back everyone boos and hisses.
Without Dana White and the UFC...MMA would still be underground.
There would be no HDnet fights or ShoXC fights without Dana White and the UFC.
He has given us the best overall production, the best fights and the best fighters.
He has repeatedly given us quality and quantity.
He has turned MMA into what it is today.
A legitimate sport, which is quickly rising in popularity...and will one day be the number one sport in the world.
Thanks to Dana White.
Thank you Mr. White.
There are people who appreciate what you gave and still continue to give.

I agree with Mr. White, Gary Shaw=OWNED!

Where was the Mark Cuban slap?

It's actually in the full article that the quote came from, which is at the Boston Herald link Mania put in there...

As for Cuban, the boisterous owner of the Dallas Mavericks who has made some noise in the MMA world by trying to bring the sport to his television network, HDNet, White is a bit more reserved in his criticism. But make no mistake, White does not believe Cuban, who is trying to sign former UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture, will be a serious competitor.

“I don’t dislike Mark Cuban at all,” White said. “He’s a smart guy and he’s made lots of money. ... And he’s invested millions and millions of dollars into (HDNet). He thinks that MMA is a hot commodity right now so he’s trying to get viewers. What he wants to do is build HDNet up and then sell it to Comcast or Time Warner or one of the other cable systems. He doesn’t give a (expletive) about mixed martial arts.”

I Agree 100% Where would the sport be right now without Dana and the UFC? Maybe Dead, who knows. Good job Dana

I love Dana Whites tirades! There the greatest entertainment when we don't have fights to watch. I don't know why Dana gets such a bad wrap. The guy speaks his mind and doesn't care who likes it.

Shut the **** up Dana. If he didnt feel threatened by these guys then he wouldn't be syaing shit. The fact that he feels the need to bash these dudes shows me how scared/jealous he is. CBS deal sure would be nice huh Dana?

I also 100% Great post man!! Props on the way!!!

I really don't understand why people hate this guy. I can see where a fighter may hate him but not fans. He's always giving us what we want. Ultimate Fight Nights, Events on Spike that would of been on Pay Per View, TUF. I dont know if anybody has really realized what is going to happen on April 2nd. Three hours of Ultimate Fight Night and the premiere of TUF. I bet EliteXC wont give you 4 hours of action on CBS.

He doesn't hold press conferences to say this stuff, he's constantly being asked.

A CBS deal wouldn't be good if they want their production/announce team etc. Why do they think they know better how to televise MMA?

Dana is the man. I love when he gets out there to the mainstream media. I also like it when he reserves his anger for his competitors and not fighters.
