Dana White has made put MMA on the map and brought MMA into mainstream fighting sports and he’s obviously a great businessman. I do have a beef about him though – he appears to be a very fickle boss to work for. Yesterday’s heroes are today’s dog-meat and Dana White will be right up front and say so in interviews.

I may be out of order (chronologically) but first he was mean spirited in his remarks that “Tito Ortiz isn’t a fighter” and that he was unfocused and basically finished in the UFC. C’mon Dana, Tito Ortiz is a warrior and one of the most focused and conditioned fighters that steps into the Octagon. So, he wants to pursue some acting, or wants a raise and you respond that you’re “not in the Tito Ortiz business?”  Shame on you for treating your assets and your fighter’s fan bases so rudely! Just type in “Dana White Tito Ortiz” in the search box at Google or YouTube and listen to the disrespect yourself.

Dana White needs a bigger hat size IMHO, because his head is getting so big, calling Tito “the rocket scientist” and “the genius” sarcastically because Tito isn’t his “boy” aymore and wants t call some of his own shots in life.

Then he was “amping” on Randy Couture about not defending his title and dodging contenders to wait for an easier opponent. That seemed to straighten itself out as Randy retired from the UFC, obviously disgruntled but non-specific as to what exactly went down but now he’s returned and won the heavyweight belt back again only to lose to newcomer Brock Lesnar.

My latest peeve is that Mr. White, has formed some sort of little vendetta deal, sponsoring the U.K vs.USA which is admittedly good for business. What better than to cash in on the rivalry that’s older than the hills – the USA throwing off the yoke of British rule.  We are allies of course, but there’s always a little extra something when it’s the UK vs. the USA in any competition.  Dana White, finding a good young fighter with a gift for gab in Michael Bisping, has started his latest season with Bisping as a coach of the UK Team.

I find this annoying since Bisping is a decent fighter that Dana White won’t promote in a fight against anyone of top notch caliber.  I mean he’s had tons of fights put all seem to be hand picked for Bisping to win.  How long do you groom a guy or maybe protect him, I should say?  Long enough to keep the ratings up I guess.  Bisping has many more fights than others who have been in title fights already, but his grooming (protection) has gone on long enough. It’s embarrassing!  Put him in with Forrest Griffin, Anderson Silva or Kendall Grove and let’s see him fight somebody to warrant his appearance as Team Coach on the weekly “Ultimate Fighter” program.

C’mon Dana I’ve been a fan since Rorion Gracie promoted the 1st UFC card and although you’ve done a good job, lately you seem to be getting a little flaky and transparent in this fan’s eyes.  Straighten up and fly right dude and I’ll put my hands together for you again, like I used to!
