WTF?


And why is Millen even doing post-fight interviews???

No shit. He sounded like an ignorant shitbag. I think Buffer knows more about fighting that Millen. I would love to see Dana do some post fight interviews...With the losers only though. Imagine the F-bombs for guys like sylvia...Or imagine how he would interview both guys after the Gonzaga/Jordan fight. "So...You thought you'd fucking circle eachother for 3 rounds until one of your fat asses decided to throw a fuckin punch?"

I really like how Dana called out chucks people for letting him do that interview in the state he was in. Hopefully chuck will see that and surround himself with people that care more about his well being and career then promoting a fucking movie.

The guy should stop using the F-word during interviews. He is trying to create this image of himself as an everyday guy who is very straight forward on what he says. He can do that without the F-words, but he is trying too hard to appeal to the younger crowd. I think saying F'ing everything just hinders MMA from becoming mainstream and eventually, I think he should tel his fighters to do the same.

Who cares, put on ear muffs if you don't wanna hear it. People watch MMA for the sport, not for the commentary or interviews. MMA is bloody and if someone can handle blood gushing from someone's head they can handle a little "language".

So commentary and interviews are not part of MMA the sport? Thats why we're all sitting here talking about every word that was spoken by someone significant right? Yeah, people watch Basketball, Baseball, and football just for the sport right? That was all sarcasm if you didnt catch on.

Boxing is brutal but they cleaned themselves with some exceptions. Dana is the face of UFC and he should conduct himself like a president of a major company like he is. I dont expect little kids to watch the sport but becoming main stream does involve conforming to what is standard decency in the society and saying the F-words would not carry well with major networks in the future.

Interviews are just an addition to MMA. The fact is is that Sherdog is not a major TV network, and last I checked networks censor the words "fuck", "shit", and "damn" after following god. I'm sure if Dana or any other UFC fighter that used a little bit of this "language" would be censored out if it were to come to UFC being on a major TV network (I consider Spike a major network, wouldn't you? Dana still drops f-bombs and I'm sure they don't give a fuck, just censor it). People get way too worked up over this kinda shit, but when there are countless movies with decapitations, gun shot wounds, and other horrific scenery they don't really say much. But yet they bleep out language, it's all funny really.

I completely agree. Makes the sport look bush.

I agree however the overwhelming population of the US and a countless number of other countries would not, simply because they already find the sport barbaric so now top that with the fact that the President of the company and main focus on promotion, marketing and the guy who is in the lime-light whenever the UFC is being represented I think may hurt it's chances at being nationally accpeted and becoming a part of ESPN regular rotation and being a part of Sports Center and the top 10 plays, UFC fighters being on the "Hot Seat" amoung other ESPN shows, etc.
