Dana White is a selfish ****.

He's been tweeting...."I have a roster full of guys that would fight whoever/whenever."

Yeah Dana......those guys are ****ing scrubs.

Who's more selfish? Dana for being pissed that Bones won't fight or Bones for not fighting? There are a ton of dudes who aren't getting paid now because the show is cancelled. Obviously Bones would have to switch opponents but it happens all the time. I completely get Jones' reasons for not fighting but I also get Dana's reason for being pissed.

Bones shouldn't be held responsible bc other fighters aren't getting paid. They chose the fighting biz and knew that these things can happen. Dana wants his money and he's not getting it. Jones trained specifically for Hendo not Sonnen.

That doesn't make Dana more selfish though, every body is just doing what's best for them. That's all most people ever do. One shouldn't be judged more harshly than the other for the same concept.

So Dana calling Jones selfish acceptable? It's selfish of Dana to throw one of his best fighters under the bus.

Bones can be replaced with "One of the roster guys Dana said would fight whenever wherever against whoever"

But to talk shit on a guy that doesn't wanna risk his belt fighting a guy on a week's notice is childish. Right now Jones is Dana's cash crop.

He needs to STFU

I didn't say either was acceptable. They're both doing the same thing, I a;ready said that. Dana doesn't care about any of his fighters, and hasn't since Chuck retired. He doesn't care about Jones and Jones doesn't care about the UFC. It's the same story for anybody who works for a big corporation.

Why would he STFU? Bones aint going anywhere and Dana knows that. He'll say whatever he wants and Bones will stay. Dana is a ****ing dick but he has all of these guys in a corner. Where the **** are they going? Belator?

I get'cha. I'll be unacceptable and say that Dana is a complete joke. He's rants on fighters is truly unprofessional. I'm glad Jones denied the fight I don't want to see him lose it bc of something like this. Not fully trained.

raybec 4 08-23-2012 02:42 PM

What I don't get is why he's busting out Bones in public but won't name the "other guys" who refused the fight. Seems like some of these dudes would have everything to gain by fighting the champ at the last minute.

Will he and should he are 2 different things. Dana should STFU....but he won't. He's in an ultimate power position

I don't disagree with the above, because it's the sad truth.....UFC has a monopoly on the sport. Same w/ NFL and football or MLB basketball and NBA w/ bball. Same deal.

But Jones is a cash cow. I laughed my ass off when he said he was going to cut Anderson Silva. He talks a lot of shit but he would NEVER cut a guy like that because he makes millions for the company. Same w/ Jones.....same w/ GSP or Lesnar.

On a side-note: If you were going to see Joe Rogan and company at Mandalay Bay the weekend of the fight it's cancelled. Full refunds available through ticket provider.

i have said for years that the UFC would be better off without dana anywhere around

Well Machida has turned down the title fight at 152 so now it's Bones vs. VITOR BELFORT at UFC 152 for the title.

This is insanity and beyond dumb.

Bones is going to absolutely demolish Vitor.
