Never asks a woman her weight, a man his wage, or Dana about fighter pay
original and hilarious, never read this comment before😐
Goated comment
What about the cheap 10$ china polyester inferior gloves that the UFC has been using? Why not invest in better gloves so our fighters can last longer and with less eye pokes @DanaWhite
Ya goof
Wage and fighter pay are essentially the same thing. Plus would you want your boss telling reporters how much you make after every fight or contract you sign? People don’t want there business like that out anyways
Surprised Dana didn’t answer each question with “we’ll see what happens”
"I don't know the answer to that question right now"
"We answer questions on Mondays"
“Wait was there a question? Yeah, what was that? … It’s none of your fuccin business.”
Or pretends he can’t hear the question
We’ll see how it plays out
UFC fighters: “I fight so that I can provide for my family”
Dayna White: “No. You fight so that I can provide for MY family.”
That’s fake
They are underpaid.... IMO..he worth probably 400mill or more..and whoever is above him are worth even more..I wonder what kind of attitude he would have if he lost all of his money...money changes people

Without Dana, they'd make nothing
The fact that he didn’t mention Mighty Mouse Johnson as one of the GOATS, the Champion that beat Silva’s title defense record is down right disrespectful.
Agreed. He's just so dominant. I think he'll go down in history as an early dominator in the sport
He hated Mighty Mouse cause he wasn't a trash talker...
His top 5 was basically top 5 UFC money makers.
Because he's not in the UFC anymore, once anyone goes to a different organization they cease to exist to Dana. He'll never send a single viewer to a competitor.
@@thexbigxgreen he still did so much to the sport, and was the goat of his division, that's not fair, because when i learned the story about DJ i felt so down, how they treated him so bad because he was a respectful, good person? and that's just proves that dana is just a money digger and he doesn't actually care about the fighters.
Dana's top 5 list is basically the fighters that made him the most money.
He didn't even mentioned khabib, this guy has a huge ego
better fighters=more money
Well not really, he didn’t mention Khabib or Brock Lesnar
He is crazy for not mentioning Khabib in top 5
@@stim289 Khabum was a quitter and Everyone knows that. And quitter can not be a favourite fighter .
I once drove through an intersection with Dana standing at the crosswalk by himself. It was the most random, surreal and yet ordinary moment imaginable.
are u sure it wasn’t some random Jacked bald guy?
@@AndenNagle Pretty sure dana white doesn't use crosswalks. They use some other form of crossing that normal humans dont use.
@@arcliteking1186 yeah he levitates above us all. Even cars
I saw dana, rogan and buffer at the airport here in Brazil, they were literally just standing there, chillin, talking amongst themselves and nobody recognized them or were too scared to walk up to them, my family? We just stood beside them listening to their conversation cause my dad recognized them but didn’t wanna bother and they kinda noticed and just kept chillin 😂 it was so random
Nah bro you saw a bald guy, haha.

Dana always gets serious asf when someone brings up pirate streaming 🤣😂
Ya, and I don’t don’t know anyone that has been arrested for streaming. A lot of people do it.
Dana doesn't catch the random people who watch the streams. Everyone once in a while they will catch people who own the websites though.
Because it’s costing him money and anyone can do it and watch for free with practically no risk. So he makes it sound like he can get you or that there will actually be any consequences, even though he really knows he can do absolutely nothing haha
He makes it sound like his fights are $9.99 once a year or something. They aren't; they're quite expensive. I'm glad the fighters are getting paid well, but there's a limit to how much I care.
This man can answer a question without actually answering it so good
Like a politician aha
Did u watch the same video
He does it every press conference. But he also gets away with it because he has already banned everyone who wil actually ask him challenging questions or press him for clarficiation when he is being slimy. MMA as a sport, and most defniatly the UFC events, are completly devoid of any actual jounralism. With a few exeptions.
@Soul ByThePound He kind of proves OP's point. He was so good at not answering that ryanrich thought he actually answered the hard questions lol
I agree but to be fair...so does everyone in power?
I love how he flips out whenever someone asks him a spicy question that he doesn't like, lmao.
did we watch the same video? where did he flip out??
@@andresbeltre7378 Think he is talking in general, have to be faster than that lool you probably believe dana crap and that fighters aren't being robbed by him, pretty obvious they are the guy exposes himself every time he tries to spin the truth
@@JM-bx2vg See the problem with your logic is the fighters signed to fight for a certain amount. How is he stealing when both parties agreed? lol
@@andresbeltre7378 these people just want mma to be made obsolete just like boxing where all you have is canelo Alvarez and Tyson fury and everyone else being unknowns that make $1200. Same people who decimated ratings in nba, MLB, Nascar, etc by pushing wokeness and player empowerment
Dude he totally flipped out he started telling spitting he even threw the camera man out of a 5 story window! Insane how much he flipped out dude cap bro no cap flipping out man he just woof flipped out all video.
I would love to see Dana as a guest on Shark Tank, the banter between him, Cuban, and O'leary would be just epic!

Lmao his favorite moment was chuck knocking Tito out😂😂
I saw what that mf did there lol
real ones knew he was gonna say that 😂
I love how genuine his reaction was as well. Lmao.
My favorite moment was when tito knocked Chuck out, that's what dana and Chuck get for teaming up on tito all those years 😂
not very suprising considering there history 😂
I'm skeptical of anyone with the money and influence this guy has, but I do kind of have a certain respect for him despite that. The UFC is a pretty intense and amazing promotion, and MMA is an incredible sport.
"hes massively successful but i still have a little respect for him" so you normally only respect broke people with zero influence.. lol
@@1x0xprobably means DW is corrupt evil freak, like he is
@@1x0xyou just made up your own sentence and attributed that to him… it isn’t even close to what he said
@@1x0xnah that’s not what he said. He was saying he doesn’t trust the amount of influence Dana has, because he has a lot - potentially too much - strong arm power in the UFC, but despite that, OP still respects Dana for putting the sport on the worldstage
I have zero respect for him. The UFC is what it is because of their incredible fighters, not because of some shady businessman that likes to manipulate who stays at the top
My friend Allan told me that it’s not the real Ceasar’s Palace because Caesar didn’t lived there. Allan was so disappointed to know it, that he decided to pet a giraffe instead.
Everyone's still laughing at Dana about the pirating to this day, the way he gets so worked up is hilarious 😂😂😂
He’s not wrong though. It BS that people steal the fight and then cry about pay.
@@brettbaratheon9776 no ones stealing the fight and the fighters would still get screwed regardless lol. Anyone who wants ti support the fighters needs to check out their individual sponsors and side gigs, not buy the PPVs.
@@brettbaratheon9776 yeah it’s bs, but the ufc took away fighters sponsorships deals which was one of the biggest Revenue source for individual fighters. Just bc ufc pays the most of our mma promotions, that doesn’t mean they can’t improve their system
@@hc3203 ok 👌
@@brettbaratheon9776 what’s BS is the price of the fights. No shot I’m paying around 100$ everytime I want to watch fights
We offered Fedor an ungodly amount of money,

They offered fedor what he was worth. Fedor had never sold 1 million in ppv. Never made any promotion any profit compared to what they paid him. They offered him good money but the shady people that managed him priced him out
@@kimjong699 Fedor Emelianenko is the greatest fighter of all time. He wasnt selling so much because he wasn't a 🤡. The more of a 🤡 someone is, the more they sell.
I am hopeful that this recession doesn't affect the retirements, I have plans of starting my retirement this month. I may not have started early enough but it is better late than never. Is there any good advice on how I should go about it?
Most times, people that really wants to invest know very little about what they intend to put their hard earned money into, It is better to get a good professional and invest safely than going in blind with a 0% chance of making profit.
When it comes to money issues, I just leave it to my financial advisor because they know better. Plus they will always have better decisional options for you. I will advice you get the services of a portfolio manager.
I know I will be needing the help of a professional, but I can not say I know any, so please can anyone help me with the best recommendation you have. I am very serious and I wanna begin as soon as possible. Thanks.
Can you please tell me more about this expert Suzanne you are recommending? I personally will like to know a little more about her and her services before contacting her. Thanks.
Lmao, I thought these scam comment threads were only on crypto videos...
"He tells it how it is" dude 50% of his answers were politician answers
Journalist: "What would it take you to get interested in Mcgregor Maywhether 2?"
Dana: "Dementia?"
lmaoooo he's already halfway there.

It should be illegal to set up fixed fights, or to take a dive. Conor McGregor and Mayweather should have to give the fans back their money and spend time in jail for that con show.

I can’t get over how often he calls people “dummy” lol 😂 it’s an insult light enough to get a laugh but strong enough to understand it’s an insult.
Whether you agree with the man or not, you have to admire a man that doesn't hold his words.
Adolf Hitler didn't hold his words, neither did Charles Manson, neither do many other assholes.
Should I admire them?
Just because someone is upfront with their bad opinions does not make them worthy of admiration; it just makes them assholes with big mouths.
@Mëïstër Ëmm Well no. Because his opinions aren't based on sending people to their deaths based on ignorance and racial grounds or inciting death. Just because I don't agree with someone doesn't make them wrong. But you're choosing to take it to wild extremes. Of course an opinion that's going to send people to their deaths is a completely different discussion. I guess I need to outline that to you.
Why?
I want to see a whole series about Dana getting worked up over pirating streams 🤣
It's literally not stealing bro, I heard that Dana white goes around personally and asks seeing impaired to remove glasses at his events just to prevent a reflection
Why I do it. Dana has a few good takes, the rest he's literally ufc satan.

Ngannou by a mile.

It used to be Woodley but he’s out of the UFC, so he needed to find someone else to dislike lol
lol.. I noticed
I thought he wanted Aljo to win. He had him modeling for venom an he’s far more promotable then yan who barely speaks English. My thought on his least favorite is it’s definitely Davieson Figuredo. I don’t think he cares for him one bit! He would rather Moreno be champ for sure!
I like how direct Dana White is
@@breakfastbean4359 Not at all, Dana white is most certainly a very direct man.
He is so direct, I thought directv was his company.
This felt more like an interview
7:46 I know he's basing it on money, but Ronda over Amanda Nunes is blasphemous.
Yeah and he has Conor over there too and I agree he was a big draw but he had no title defences
Because Ronda was entertaining to watch and was a nice chick and Nunes is...I don't know what
He said Conor too LOL. On what planet is he even top 10 GOAT?
He should've have mighty mouse on that lost I mean how does connor make the list and not DJ
Rhonda is his bestie. Wouldn't ever discount her.
Pretty sure Uriah Hall had the most brutal KO of all time. That dude was nearly seizing
henderson vs bisping is my favorite
That’s what made hall so soft. After that he never wanted to hurt anyone, he lost his killer instinct
Gary Goodridge vs Paul Herrera is a brutal one
Uriah became notoriously gun shy after that one kick. The look of horror on Uriah's face as Adam Cella was barely breathing while down on the canvas was freaking awful.
Not even close. Look up the Gary Goodridge crucifix knockout. The most insane knockout in the history of combat sports.
1:20 Mike Tyson didn't get the memo.
lmaoooooo
For me the most brutal k.o I seen was Marlon Moraes vs Aljamain Sterling, the sound of the impact was insane
Dana streaming boxing fights during watching a UFC ppv love it 😂 😂
100% 😂
He's probably paying for the stream though. Have you every tried watching a pirated stream on mobile? It's absolute cancer and he's clearly not dealing with any of that in the clips we've seen of him streaming.

“Streaming means we lose money”
Dana’s bank account: $7.000.000.000
2:55 Just a reminder that UFC fighter pay is only 12% of revenue compared to 50% in any major sport, NFL, MLB, NBA.
Keep that in mind next time you wonder why NFL athletes can go for 3 hours but any fighter in the UFC Heavyweight division gets tired after the 1st round.
what does that have to do with fighters getting tired?
There is no doubt the fighters are underpaid. I've been watching this sport for decades and it is astounding, based on the size of the company, that several longtime UFC fighters are still getting paid $30-40k a fight and the fight bonus is still a measly $50k. How can you say you're one of the biggest sports in the world and still paying your athletes chicken scratch?
Make your own promotion and pay them what you think they should. Pools open waters fine
@@bigbay1159 Pools open waters fine...HUH?
But they sign the dotted line. Yes they are truly chicken heads. :)
if they were underpaid, they would leave, it should be very simple to understand
You Dana stans are unbelievable. maKe yOUr oWn prOmoTIon. Such stupidity is almost hard to rebut because it’s so incredibly stupid.
Would love to him responding to Costas tweets🤣

I’m not a fan of you Dana but these videos make me want to be a fan haha thanks for the video !
Quora has the stupidest policy of forcing people to become members to read the content, otherwise it could be half of what Reddit is.
7:28 the most brutal finish I ever saw was jones vs machida. While no serious damage was done the way Jones just dropped him and walked away with no remorse or care was brutal. Jones wasn’t even excited he won. Really sum up the killer Jones turned out to be.
Edit. Might be recently bias but im returning to day emmet ko on Bryce might of topped this dude looked like he had a seizure
I was a huge Machida fan. Still am actually. I knew it was very unlikely but I sure wished he would've beaten Jones. Jones is such a tool, he doesn't deserve the natural gifts he's been blessed with.
Worst ones for me are Wanderlei Silva vs. Rampage at Pride 28 and Derrick Lewis vs Curtis Blaydes
Jones is a psychotic criminal. Of course he has no remorse. The guy doesn’t have a consciousness like you or me.
I lied, masvidal ko on askren was an always will be unbelievable
I think you’re all forgetting Uriah hall’s KO on TUF, has to be the most brutal.

No. If he would have told it like it is, he would admit that UFC fighters are underpaid.
@@mikehansen7610 lmao what? I hope you're sarcastic.
@@beardedlonewolf7695 UFC fighters get paid 17% of the revenue. After taxes, and money used on training camps, not much is left. Conor made most of his money outside of the UFC. The supposed 3rd best middleweight in the world Jared Cannonier says he’s broke, then backtracks later because he made his employer look bad. Stop talking about stuff you have no idea about.
And you do? What are you comparing their pay to? NBA? NFL? Boxers? Which MMA org pays better? Do you know the UFC p&L & profit margins? Or how much profit their parent company takes? Most fighters bitchin about pay are the ones who suck at promoting themselves & their fights. The fighter pay fan whining hasnt & will never change anything. The fighters can form a union, promote themselves better, stop under cutting eachother, etc. Lots of ways to make more $. They pay all 400 or so fighters, including the 50% who barely make a dime of revenue for the company. & they sign the dotted line, they literally agree to their pay BEFORE fighting.
good
The best part is here ... 6:47 🤣
I think the ultimate question would be "how much do *you* make a year as UFC president?" I guarantee he wouldn't answer it. When he gave the Nelk boy 250k for his bday that was a slap in the face to the fighters. NFL/NBA players share 50% of the revenue while UFC fighters get 19-20%. ? And NBA/NFL each have 32 owners while UFC has *two* plus Dana as the face of the company. For 2020...
UFC revenue/year apprx 1 billion
NBA 8.3 billion
NFL 11 billion
So that leaves 200 million for apprx 700 fighters 4.2 billion for apprx 500 NBA players and 5.5 billion for apprx 2000 NFL players.
So...
Owners+Dana apprx 270 million/each
UFC fighters apprx 285,000 each
NBA owners apprx 131 million each
NBA players apprx 8 million each
NFL owners apprx 172 million each
NFL players apprx 2.8 million each
So Dana + Ferteeta make more than NBA/NFL owners while fighters make *significantly less* than NFL/NBA players do..like 10x less than NFL players and 30x less NBA players
Great to see Dana back on GQ again, the videos they've made with him were all hillarious
He's a trashbag. Can't wait for a real tough person, like the many he exploits, to break him
They needed this one to be 20 mins long. Sometimes, most the time, I look forward to his post fight press conferences as much as the card.

Gotta respect how he has totally monopolized MMA. Pays most of them pennies on the dollar, makes these idiots knock years off their lives so he can get a new watch or car, respect.
On one hand he's given them the opportunity to fight on The biggest stage in the world
On the other hand he's elevated the sport to such a level that these fighters are being paid more now than ever before in history
I certainly think they are underpaid, but the ufc isn't anywhere near as established as the NBA, NFL etc or as profitable as soccer leagues in Europe, the fighting scene is much more unpredictable and caters to a smaller audience, everybody loves fighting, but few ppl love it enough to buy a ppv
U also have the sport being dependent on personalities like Connor, Jones, lesnar etc, it's nothing like the other seasonal sports
everyone does not love fighting. its a niche sport and always will be @@Mcbignuts
Thinking fighters would fight if they didn't get paid enough is stupid, most of them could just get sponsored if that was the case
07:20, for me it's still Gary Goodridge's crucifix elbow finish even all these years later. For the brutal efficiency of Goodridge and shear helplessness of Paul Herrera.
Could of killed him!
Vitor vs Jones
Round 4
Oh then you'll also remember Pat Smith vs Scott Morris? Those elbows were so brutal...
@@Schreibtisch1 yh another brutal one. First time I saw that, I hasn't seen much fighting other than boxing, I thought Morris must have a skull fracture
The way he talks about boxing business so raw lol
AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION LIVE !!!!!
Love him or hate him, he’s hilarious and tells it how it is
Except he’s lying through his teeth about fighter pay. I like the guy, but he’s a scumbag when the topic of fighter pay comes up
That's not true. He isn't being honest about fighter pay and that whole GOAT list is just about who made him the most money. Ronda and Conor should not be on that top 5 list.
@@allenmk138 100 percent a fact right there

He often lies & tells half-truths but i like him because he's a living cartoon character. He's very bouncy & jovial
Prime Fedor would’ve completely decimated Brock.
Idk. Brock is so much bigger
Lol, Fedor can only dismantle fighters in rigged pride matches . 😂😂 He would have lost to every top 5 ufc fighter.
@@Dare-Knight exactly. He got school once he came to America. And can only win fights against smaller fighters
@@lionelmessisburner7393 lol… do you even watch MMA?
@@kimjong699 he came to America at what age?
"a lot of negativity on twitter" as opposed to Dana, who has no negativity
0:01 He’ll answer any question but as always no promises he’ll tell the truth 😅
3:55 Dana still trying to lure Khabib back for another fight or two lol
The best staredown fight ever was the time Jones and Johnson pretended to start a fight on stage. Dana probably got a complete body shutdown for a few seconds, back then, so he forgot it ever happened.
