Pretty good interview.

He drops some f-bombs though. So put the kids to bed.

That's his video from Sherdog right? I already saw it...and I have to agree with Dana. The fight with Wanderlei and Chuck has ZERO draw right now. Before Silva's losses to Cro Cop and Henderson, that fight would have been the biggest in MMA history. Pretty bad decision on Pride's part from a business standpoint.

He also made a good point about all the beatings Sakuraba took b/c of horrendous match-making.

despite Dana's overuse of inappropriate language...i loved the interview. he's right about Pride in that sense of match making, they're dumbasses! go Dana!!!

This has been going on for as long as i can remember. Dana is still pissed that 4 years ago Pride didnt oblige and cough up Sakuraba. I remember not too long ago Dana got into a bitch fight on the radio with one of Prides media guys for the US... and it was definatley a radio classic!!

You are referring to an incident on the radio where Pride's Jeremy Millen start trying to shout down Dana White. Dana just made Millen look like an asshole.

Which is easy to do b/c Millen is a douche.

Dana seems like he's so elated with what had just happened that night.

UFC 68 was truly a fucking surreal experience.

People can say what they want about Dana but he always tells you exactly what he thinks and does not sugar coat it at all.

Huge difference in work ethic and it is so blatantly obvious. Dana couldn't even remember which UFC it was because he's focused on 3 PPV's ahead and all of the preperation it takes to put on a single show. I bet he puts in nearly twice the hours that Millen puts in on a weekly basis and Dana takes his job very seriously, you can tell he is genuinely a huge fan of MMA whereas Millen enjoys the spotlight and paycheck, he really seems to care less about the fights.

I stated before that the UFC will not always be ontop of the MMA world as someone with more money like bodog will come in and be willin to shell out more money but my view on that has been changing more and more as of late. I think it comes down to marketing and the willingness to work harder than any other promoter in MMA and there is no one willing to work as hard as Dana White right now and he is a machine so I don;t forsee him slowing down, the man loves his job, if it paid $50,000 a year he would still be doing it and that is the overwhelming difference between him and other promoters IMO.

I threw up in my mouth a little bit when Diaz was thanking his sponsors after the Gomi fight and Millen says "And Pride?"

WTF?

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

The people who let him go on live PPV and do the interviews is probably the same dumbass who let Chuck go on that morning show all messed up.:banghead:
