Dana White Trash
By Brandt DeLorenzo on Feb 07, 2008
I know that I haven’t said anything nice about the guy recently, but I sure have been giving him the little attention that MMA Opinion does get (see here and here). I also don’t expect anyone really important to notice this article, but I have to speak my mind. Let me start over. Dana White is annoying. Not annoying like a little kid sister annoying – it’s more along the lines of that trashy neighbor who keeps his Christmas lights up until June, spends his entire check on a pool that doesn’t fit in his yard, and constantly talks trash annoying. If Dana White wasn’t the president of the UFC, that’s how I would picture him. The trash talking part is still with him, millions of dollars and all.
It’s getting to the point where I have a feeling that the president of the largest MMA organization was ridiculed and bullied his entire life. Now is the time to talk trash on everyone, right? But is anyone fooled, really? Example: his latest comments about Fedor are just laughable, he mocked Hong Man Choi’s name, stated that Kimbo would “get hurt bad” in the UFC, and the list goes on and on. Does he believe himself? Does he think that we believe him? He’s not exactly much worse than the other MMA promoters out there (see Bruce Bellochi and Gary Shaw) and I understand that the business is cut-throat, but he wants to be held to some higher standard while looking down on us. Well guess what, Dana White is just trash. I don’t care if he thinks MMA websites are useless because the majority of MMA fans, both the casual guys and hardcore enthusiasts, all go online for MMA news. The few that watch HDNet are missing most of the breaking news in exchange for a few big name faces (which is fine, of course) – and it’s just another burned bridge for Mr. White.
I’m excited with the rumors that the UFC may sell and I say go for it. If it means that fighters like Randy Couture, Andre Arlovski, and Josh Barnett come back while Dana White disapears, I might not complain about the UFC for a while. They haven’t made themselves look good lately by dropping Arlovski off the main card of UFC 82 or suing everyone for their dumb acquisition of Pride. It could be time to bring attention to some other organizations for once.

Very well said Brandt. Dana is a punk, pure and simple. He was always picked last in kickball growing up, now those dark times are coming to the surface. He is the sole reason I have made it a point to watch EliteXC.
I agree. He’s a scumbag. Once a boxing promoter, always a boxing promoter. I hate how he talks so much trash about fighters and acts tough when he never even fought.
And its ridicuolous because he has the whole world watching him. He couldn’t possibly act like a respectable MMA promotor – no, he’s trying to assert dominance in front of MMA fans by ridiculing anyone he can. He should know better. His ignorance won’t help the growth of his organization (like the
Pride deal and tv deals gone bad) when MMA is at its peak. Frustrating.
Well said. In the Ultimate Fighters series, he kept saying this guy has no heart and that guy is crap and so on. But those guys have been training non stop with injuries then of course most people’s bodies won’t cope. Then some of them had to cut weight and stayied in the steam room for hours, I think most people would faint if not die. In the fights these guys kept getting punched in the faces over and over again over couple of fights and when they can’t take it anymore then Dana says these guys have no heart. That’s total rubbish.
Look no further than his name Dana. I was working the fight tonight and this total idiot named Lindsay (I’m not kidding … a guy named Lindsay) … got knocked the f**k out … even his friends admitted it was his fault …
Lesson … don’t name your male kid a girlie name … they turn into scumbag wieners like Dana White …
I saw that guy act like he was a fighter from a tough part of town … LMFAO … the guy b*tched out of the fight with Tito …
Tito would murder Dana White … prison rape would be more like the proper description …
I like what Tito is doing and will back him … he’s a leader and a man of courage and honor …
Dana ‘Whiner’ White is nothing more than an impostor …
So don’t be so hard on the poor degenerate with a little girls name … lol … I enjoy hating him because he’s so f*cking hate-able … he is his own worst enemy and is going to blow it with the UFC … Other organizations are already starting … Just a matter of time now … he’s already hung himself …
