Posts with the tag "Dana White"

Junie Browning is an idiot, no doubt about it. Not only is he stupid when drunk, but he tries to fight everybody in the house. To make matters worse for him, half the guys in the house are bigger than him. I like how he always asks for somebody to hit him, well I have a feeling it won't be long before somebody does. You can see most of his drunken rage over on Spike.

The real question I have is why didn't Dana White kick this a-hole out of the house? He never gave a legitimate answer, I have to wonder if the producers asked to keep him on the show for entertainment. The only other thing is that may Dana thinks he has a good shot to win the show. Still, Dana has never sacrificed the UFC's image for a good fighter.

Today Dana White debunked many of the rumors floating around the blogs. This included boxer Floyd Mayweather joining the organization, the WWE partnering with the UFC, the UFC appearing on FOX, ABC or another network and the UFC possibly going public.

So what's left? In my opinion, it breaks down the three possibilities.

1. The most realistic announcement is that Chuck Liddell will be headlining UFC 88 in Atlanta. His opponent? Why not Mauricio Rua? They were originally suppose to fight at UFC 85, so it makes perfect sense they fight now. That's assuming both fighters are healthy enough to fight by then.
   odds 4-1
2. Another possible announcement is that the UFC has acquired some new talent. Realistically, they could pull several fighters from the WEC.
   odds 10-1
3. The far-fetched announcement is that the UFC will be adding a weightclass or two. With the success of the lightweights, it would be easy to see the UFC adding featherweights and possibly even bantamweights.
   odds 20-1

Guess we will have to wait till Thursday to know for sure.

So Tito is being Tito once again. In an interview with Howard Stern, Tito talks about Dana White and starting his own fight promotion (see MMAJunkie and Five Ounces Of Pain). Tito is very much a business man, as is apparent on The Apprentice, and he is simply trying to get his name in the headlines. As some say, any press is good press. In the end, it won't help him get a better deal in the UFC (or one at all), but could help him land a big contract in another promotion. Oh, and the idea that he would start his own promotion? That's just stupid.
