Dana White on Kimbo and EliteXC
 

He should just tell everyone how he really feels about the situation...

Dana's bang on right too.

Good critique

i love this guy's outlook on things.. similar to mine i'd like to think

look I agree with his points but its always about money and thats just how dirty sports are

It's true.

couldnt agree more!

That's fucking hilarious!

tell it like it is! Thanks Dana!

It's all true and kind of funny too.

I guess it's funny because it's true. :1orglaugh

This rant resonates, I think he may be on to something.

dana has a bad rep but that was some good shit right there.

I wonder what the reply will be from the "scumbags"

Wow, right on the money I think. Where did that originally air? It wasn't filmed especially for Youtube, right?

Did Gary Shaw actually admit he paid Petrezelli to only stand up against Kimbo?

I think he said that he gave Petrezelli a clause that gave him a knockout bonus, but he also said he offered he same bonus for a submission or a decision. Petrezelli want on radio and said they offered him more money to stand with Kimbo and then later corrected his statement saying that they didn't come right out and say that, but they hinted that they wanted him to stand with him.

From the article I found he says he's done it in the past but didn't admit to it this time...

"But Elite XC consultant Gary Shaw said he wouldn't hesitate to "go to a fighter and say, 'We're looking for a stand-up fight.' You're not asking him to throw a fight. You're talking about a fan-friendly fight, not about protecting Kimbo.

Shaw said he has urged MMA fighters in the past to maximize the action, to avoid an abundance of yawn-inspiring wrestling.

"Do I think that's unethical? No," Shaw said. "Because in MMA, you get bonus money for a knockout. I don't see it as unethical . . . asking him to be TV and fan friendly."

It's a promotion, like in boxing where they agree to catch weights and certain knockdown rules

yeah it sucks, but if the fighter is paid to do it, then that is what happens

Damn... I can feel the love

I totally agree

100% spot on. Dana :thumbsup

I used to think that Dana was a douche, but he does have a point.

He's got a point.

kudos to dana... totally on. elite xc sucks... kimbo's a hasbeen... and tito going there only ruins MMA

I fuckin Love Dana!!! More people should say EXACTLY what is on their mind. Love it!!!

Dana's an arrogant prick, but you've gotta love how he says what's on his mind without mincing his words.

As arrogant as Dana is, he does have some valid points. However, he's always the first one to cry foul.

I love that guy! straight up to the point - what a guy! YES!

Dana White is the man. Its refreshing to see someone successful that doesnt play it safe and says what they actually think about a situation.
