Ok Dana needs to take a step back

i dont know about you but it just seems like he is such an attention whore. Criticizing Cain for poor strategy and not exactly building up JDS after the fight, even criticizing him for getting tired at the end of fights.

Just my opinion but i think a little less of DW would be a really good thing for the ufc. Its the fighters people want to see, not you dana.

I gotta agree man, sounded like a complete ass in the after show.

Subject: Re: Ok Dana needs to take a step back Sun Nov 13, 2011 1:55 pm

Yeah I remember telling my brother it sounded like Dana had bet on Cain to win and just lost a bunch of money the way he was acting after the fight.

He was pissed off for some reason and acted pretty angry the whole post fight press conference. I wonder if something bad happened business wise?

just think if Bud Selig or Roger Goodell came out and criticized their athletes like that. It wouldn't fly.

When I first saw him on Fox with Menephee I was a little shocked. Anything can happen in a fight but 64 seconds is not a good start, and then the Fox exec throwing a little back at Dana saying that maybe one fight wasn't the way to go, I thought they should've had Guida V Henderson on tv as well.

Yeah Bendo vs Guida is a great fight that wasnt televised.

Fox Sports chief executive David Hill admitted he and president Dana White discussed the “tactics” of booking a single, heavyweight fight in hindsight, but added he was overwhelmingly satisfied with the product.

“It absolutely delivered everything I hoped it would,” Hill told ESPN.com. “I spoke to Dana and maybe, tactically, Dana didn’t play it the right way. But this is what you get in this sport. This is world heavyweight champion action.”

The decision not to run any of the other nine fights on the card, specifically a lightweight bout between Ben Henderson and Clay Guida, was heavily questioned by fans and media alike. The fight aired, instead, on Facebook.com and FoxSports.com and was a 15-minute thriller.

Kinda crazy he would call Dana out like that.

Yeah, he really came off bad in the post fight. The fight did not really go like he wanted. It's just the fight was nothing special if you are a new fan because 1. Cain looked out of shape and poor after he was the main focus of the hype machine going in, as the guy who beat Brock and the mexican american champion with the Brown Pride specials 2. the fight ended too quickly 3. the KO was nothing to write home about if you are a new fan

but he could have at least given JDS his props. Hell, Lesnar did the promoter job better than Dana in the post fight.

U think maybe he didnt want another champ from Brazil? I couldnt think of anything else.

JDS is a big Brazilian teddy bear that everyone can love. Come on Dana, you know you want to give that big Brazilian a hug.

my first thought exactly

Subject: Re: Ok Dana needs to take a step back Mon Nov 14, 2011 9:51 am

why would he be upset with a 64 second knockout?

the casual fan doesn't want to watch a close, technical 5 round fight. the casual fan wants to see someone knocked out in 64 seconds.

If I was Cain or JDS I'd be pretty pissed with Dana, one of these days his title won't protect him from a slap.

I loved how Bas was at this event an on the pre fight show. That was great to see.
