Oh, Dana White left the Francis Ngannou fight early to go sneaker shopping. Makes total sense now
Facts
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Lmao🤣
😂😂😂
I love any episode that aren't just Travis and Yeezys being bought. Seeing someone's love for a specific sneaker, and this love having nothing to do with hype is what I like most about sneakers.
I am waiting for the day a guest will pronounce Adidas correct
Gazelles are underrated but clean AF. 👍👍
It’s always been like that, it’s the gen z hypebeast sheep that ruined it
@@tacotom3492 nope if you live outside US
At least in the episodes I've watched, I don't see anyone buying Travis and Yeezys.
I appreciate that this dude came through and bought shoes he liked regardless of rarity or secondary value. Dude bought 5 pairs for $500, super reasonable purchase. Watching some people spend like 50k is insane, and Dana White totally has the means but is just like fuck it, I want Gazelles and Blazer lows
How the rich stay rich 💰
@@diegosaldana5276 he not buying them because they cheap bro ☠☠
That’s the difference between smart rich and foolish broke
@@hg2460 he's fighters can afford the basics just another greedy scumbag this world is full of them
when ur that rich it dont matter
Really refreshing to see someone come on the show and buy a load of non hype shoes. The man has a style and he is true to it 👊🏼
He can show up for Sneaker Shopping but not to crown his champ.
Boring ass main event

@@kevins7974 dumbass news, he did give the belt to figgy yeah but dipped on Francis AND the post fight press conference. Sucking on some Dana White Privilege?
@@eliudtellez4363 doesn't matter, dana is just a bitch for disappearing because the person he wanted to lose won
Weird how they talked about sneakers being an outlet to display fighters personality then did a deal making all fighters wear basically the same shoe.
legit was looking for this comment lmao
He's Dana White
His face is pink
He gets the money
While fighters sink
And when he
Sniffs some coke
He signs with Reekbok
Fighters go broke
Seriously
You don’t wear shoes in ufc
@@robertrobles1224 they wear them before they step in the ring.
I love how they go from talking about how awesome it is how all them fighters got their own personal drip and then Dana just casually says they all gotta wear the rocks shoe
Goes in, avoids the hype, and cops the stuff he actually likes. Solid.
Meanwhile Francis Ngannou-"So you're shopping sneakers with my money" lmao
his money ??? yeak ok buddy, francis was paid according to the contract he signed. nothing more nothing less, francis does NOT move the needle. He is not conor, rousey, nate diaz, masvidal etc etc etc he's just another bum african on PEDs just like his old pal marty ceo of epo usman
Gonna cry? Maybe francis should fight more so he gets more money
Dana was still scared putting the Heavyweight Belt over his winner
This was a great episode, especially seeing the Nike Blazers. I remember I had a pair of all white High Blazers. Rocked them to the fullest. It's crazy how popular they are now. Back then when I wore them, which was 2007 or 2008, I didn't see many people rocking that shoe. Now you've got different styles. Of course the Adidas Gazelles were always a classic, but the Nike Blazers I feel was a rare shoe that you didn't see all the time.
LMAO the timing of this vid. The editors must be fans of Francis to release this at this time. Pay your fighters Dana
UFC needs to pay their fighters more or allow them to aquire sponsors again.
They are allowed to acquire sponsors. They make bank from sponsors. They negotiate their own contracts. Funny how only after a fighter gains clout they start crying about pay. As if $600,000 for one fight is little money. Not to count all the sponsors/brand and appearance pay they get. I lost respect for Frances the minute he started complaining about pay after he himself agreeing to it. Don’t like it? Fire your agent or go get a normal job making $50k a year.
@@Danik0211 600K when you're the heavyweight champion of the world is absolutely very little money.
Now they’re not even letting them wear their own shoes 😂😂
@@Danik0211 they’re not allowed in ring sponsors, only walking around. This means that really only the top well known people can capitalise. The rest are making 12k to show, 12k to win (minus tax, coach fees AND EVEN HOSPITAL FEES) at the highest level of fighting and suffering brain trauma. Take any other world class athletes, particularly world class combat sports, and look at their paychecks. Your life won’t be normal after the end of your career. Probably CTE, brain damage.
@@Danik0211 No they do not allow them to get sponsors outside of the UFC Since the UFC started that BS Reebox deal yearsss ago. Francis isn’t the only fighter that publicly has talked about how unhappy they are about their fighter pay. This been going on for years. These fighters get 16% of revenue which is horrible especially after taxes and bills. They are PROFESSIONAL fighters, Celebrities that are household names. Not some brainwashed average person like you. The ufc needs to pay these dudes more. Simple.
I genuinely appreciate how Dana has grown the UFC, but refusing to put the belt on Ngannou & skipping out on the press conference gives alot of credence to the the fact that the UFC may actually be the problem in their ongoing contract negotiations.
Dana would've probably been petty and have Gane the "Fight Of The Night" & "Performance Of The Night" bonus regardless of how he performed as long as he won. Petty 😂
you know it’s sad but you’re right Dana would’ve been up there talking about how Gane is the future of heavyweights and how Francis was this unbeatable monster but since Francis won Dana didn’t have a thing to say about his win or Gane losing lol.
You really promoting Chris Watts? That is twisted!
@Conor Mcgregor jake paul ruined the ufc. No credibility there. All the fighters can't fight and can be k.o'd and embarrassed by a youtuber. Dana is a good guy, i like dana but paul has helped diminish the reputation of the ufc. The more he continues to k.o his guys the more the ufc is going to get lower and lower and lower.

Great episode, always love to see the big D hanging out. : )
Props to Joe for coming up with those good questions on the fly regarding the UFC Shoe deal
Employee was like “bro didn’t get a single ounce of heat we gotta at least throw him a pair of dunks”

LMFAOOOOOO
He payed more for the shoes than he pays his own fighters damn
Just not true
:O
Hahahahha tough guys fighters are free to leave if they are paid less than shoes but chooses to stay. Just like they stick around in toxic relationship with crazy girls.
@@bderek85 dont excuse shitty business behavior
@@native00 it’s true tho
Those dunks they gifted him were Fire 🔥
Perfect example on how you buy what you like and no running with the hype
He’s surprised more fighters don’t have shoe deals? Dude literally killed his fighters’ sponsor deals through the Reebok exclusivity deal. Also, I see he purposely left out Jon Jones’ Nike deal. I still have 2 DS pairs of his free trainer 5.0s. Dana’s hate for fighters who speak out still continues until this day.
Adesanya has a deal with puma , reebok is only fight week(6days) 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@1x403 if you’re any sneaker company why would you want to sponsor a fighter that cant wear your stuff during fight week. That’s like the Nba telling Curry he cant wear Underarmour during games, press conferences and shoot arounds
Was thinking this about the reebok deal then seen your comment. peace
Jones fucked up his Nike deal by himself ! I hate Dana but I hate Jones moore
@@youssefelbrahmi6483 smh you dont even know these people and you hate them lol they both dont know who you are focus on yourself
This is literally the worst time to have Dana on
Why
Best time rn the attention is on him
@wakeupelijiah hes literally pointing out danas craziness
@wakeupelijiah Dana’s awesome.
@wakeupelijiah capitalism is better than socialism
great interview!!
Sick! I think it would be cool if some wrestling legends like Sgt. Slaughter and Hulk Hogan were on the show, same goes for AJ Styles and Rey Mystery, love this show!
Dude grow up wrestling is not real, just bunch of old men on roids 😭
@@MK-573 regardless if wrestling is fake.or real. But they are athletes and Rey Mysterio and AJ Style are sneaker heads.
I respect this man enough to say: refusing to put the belt on Francis was not cool.
you beat me to the comment
Im sorry why did dana refuse to put the belt on ngannou again? Whats the reason?
@@primcebangcoyo6932 we do not know for sure we can only assume its because he wanted Francis to lose because the contract he is in
@@primcebangcoyo6932 ngannou wants better pay
Because is rasise
Complex is slick. Dropped this episode after all the stuff going down after UFC 270 😂
I've always been more into Adidas than any other brand... Superstar, Stan Smith, Gazelle...loved this one 👍🏻
1:29 Anyone knows what shoes is on the 3rd shelf, on the left, the black shoe ?
So this is why he doesn’t pay the fighters much. He needs it for his shoe closet 📝
He also needs the money for his gambling and coke addiction.
@@Az21- 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@Az21- 😭
HE SOLD HIS BUSINESS FOR MILLIONS
Lol. Most of UFC fighters are more rich than you.
Dude is like one of the richest people there is and was still genuinely taken aback by getting that gift at the end, respect.
money only exsist when your alive. when u die it isnt worth shitt
That's a dumb comment, I guarantee bezos or Zuckerberg would react exactly The same, and They are both 100 times Richer, and why would he want the RESPECT of some faceless UA-cam commenter?
@@Carltonwanks did I spoil it for you or something? Chill tf out you weirdo 🥴
Respect? This guy doesn't know the meaning of trust loyalty or respect.
@@immyhussain283 he didn’t lay off any of his workers during the pandemic
This guy is the epitome of a real business man! I love the Nike 77, react, and the gummed blazer I have those. 😎
The clap on that handshake at the end was somethin crazy
I love how Dana is not the most knowledgeable on shoes but he was able to maintain the episode Interesting all throughout
Yes, he was just being himself, unlike These annoying mumble rappers that can barely speak English and try too hard to portray a gangsta persona ,
@@Carltonwanks facts
honestly , he probably could LOL
We have to make all the comments about Francis.. you guys aren't helping
ua-cam.com/video/USxoUwsC9Kw/v-deo.html
Dana needs to start paying fighters they worth.
Calm down bud
They are paid what they are worth that’s how a market works
Great episode
All I bought were OG Jordan 1 HI’s but after getting my first pair of OG Lows I fell in love.
Spending more on shoes then he pays his fighters.
he spends more on the ring girls than the fighters
boss move😂
@@the_1999_kid things bootlickers say.
Ooo good one
That's just called smart business. If you're a fighter that brings ppv, you'll get paid. If you don't bring ppv, you'll get paid less. You won't get paid good just because you can swing your arms. It's a business, they don't care about talent that nobody watches.
Since he announced that deal with The Rock and UA, they blessed him with the lows.
That's tight, he was actually surprised loll
Okay did not expect this to be so in depth
Key to life is being happy.
To be happy, you have to be into things.
You have to be a fan of things.
It fuels your passion for life.
Just give Francis what he deserves!
The man is a true champ, the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world!
Don't snub him like you did the presser!
Nah Man, Francis is not really marketable not really popular. 500K is too much imo
and he isn't a draw. How long will it take you to understand?
@@ssaini5028 agree 100%

@@Rajmohan13Nayak I bet you're a girl?
Dana showin love after getting a free pair is so refreshing to see nowadays
whats the name of the nike in the back on top that looks like spikes at minute 4:14 ?
awesome episode
I have to say that the show is the best interview type of just about anyone now. Keep raising the bar guy's and grinding. Love the content as always.
Should have asked him where the hell he went when it was time to put the belt on the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. Or where he was when he skipped the press conference he contractually obligates his own fighters to attend.
This was a great episode, but poorly timed considering what happened over the weekend.
Give me a break down what did he do
Wat happen??
*ua-cam.com/video/m9Rd5-XIt_s/v-deo.html*
@@zzirfamo24 Basically Francis Ngannou, the UFC Heavyweight Champ, fought on Saturday and beat Cyril Gane to defend his title. Ngannou wants around 6 to 10 million to fight and while that may seem like a lot, Francis Ngannou One hundred percent deserves that type of pay and the UFC can One Hundred percent pay him that money. The UFC just loves to skimp fighters out of money and with Francis's contract ending in December, Dana decided not to give him his belt after he won as well as not attend the press conference, which he never misses. Fuck Dana White for being a petty little trash.
this was recorded before the fight
2:31 the frags and the mochas
Crazy he seems like a cool person till u find out what he does to his fighters.
and how he's been caught cheating on his wife repeatedly.. even evidence that it was with his sister in law
Get off his 🥜 already.
Give Francis that Conor pay!
No ones getting that tbh
You’re talking about fighter pay, that’s cool ! But saying give the man Conor Pay is just too much to ask for , because nobody in the entire company pulls consistent 1.5M+ PPV buys like Conor
mcnuggets is finished downie
@@pritamjitbiswas6967 even conor got scammed.. made ufc 1.1 billion in revenue and made less than 70 million in the ufc.. a boxer would of made 500 million easily..
Connor is a super star.. everyone else is not
I respect that all his shoes were $100 or under, genuinely crazy how someone with his wealth still buys “affordable” sneakers, huge respect
Yeah cause he is an old out of touch dude with a coke addiction.
The richer you are the less you feel the need to flex.
He be wearing the Travis shoes every time i see em online lol
Cause he is at a store that only sells shoes for retail no resell
There werent no expensive shoes in there anyway and the ones he be wearing is at least 500
I've grown to like Dana more as the yrs have gone along. He seems a lot more chill now
that beat straight fire!!!!!
He should've just buy the whole store. That would've been a legendary episode.
Lmao thought the same thing. Guessing he didn’t because of ur comment
Right likes he’s a billionaire
@@mex4933 he’s a billionaire yet is underpaying his fighters🤣
@@mex4933 he’s no billionaire lol.
@@ykciR he is do some research
Great episode! Sneakers really bring us all together 💯
Does anyone know what the mustard Nikes on the top shelf are called with the thick white base and the navy tick
I know Dana is either a love him or hate him kinda guy, but I think he’s a very genuine dude. Seems honest in his conversations and just an overall nice person if you treat him with respect.
Let’s be honest bro the fighter pay talk is at an all time high with Francis making 600k for his last fight, and they release a video of Dana spending money on shoes .. lol perfect timing.
He made way more than that with ppv points at least a million he made for sure
@@Northwest425 yeah but this is the baddest man on the planet those kind of numbers just don’t make sense.
@@conormcgregor8451 then he shouldn't have agreed to his contract
Because they know who they can get off on, who’s the hungriest and who will settle for less. I don’t really do much looking into it or pay too much attention but from hearsay, Dana isn’t really right
@@Northwest425 well he just fought his way out of his contract so i think he’s gonna be making the money he deserves now.
I remember watching Dana on a podcast this week and I saw he was wearing some Travis Scott 1s and I was like, I don't remember Dana wearing sneakers like that. Guess this explains it
Excellent video
i love how dana white is just a genuine person
Complex always has great interviews. Props from Portugal ❤
Mekie tuga!!
@@koffiged PORTUGAL CARALHOOOOOOO
@@oscarmontenegro5658 é isso!!! 😂
Cashier: how would you like to pay for that?
Dana: my fighters hard earned money
4:03 what are those top shelf nikes?
Honestly I'm glad to see ufc in things like this gq and other platforms that you usually only see rappers and other non mma athletes now. It's like the industry is late to the party
Love how dana is probably the richest guy they have had on here and walked away spending less than $500. Very smart guy!
And he got a free pair to go with it. What a deal.
He walks away paying less than $500 to his fighters too!! Smart man!!
What a good episode Complex. Genuine and interesting. That’s what we want!!!!
I think we want better fighter pay! Not shoes lol
😁😂😁😂
Anyone know the brand of shoe at 3:08 on the left?
Someone can give me the website of all those sneakers shops where they record their episode ? Plz
One day I'll go for sneaker shopping with Joe🇿🇼
Iwe mfana iwe muka ubike doro lol
@@Tapsy_smith 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 wangu wangu bho here
Literally the richest man in the room getting the cheapest kicks in the room.
That gift shoe was sickkk. Black on black my fav
What Nikes are on the top middle shelf around the 5:37 mark?
"Travis Scott low is the most comfortable shoe you've ever worn?!" That's hard to believe
Everyone's foot is different. I rather wear Jordan 1s than something with Boost because I hate the compression of the sole.
The lows don’t do it for me. Pair of forces and Jordan ones in mids or highs is the move
"let's gift a billionaire." come on, gift some shoes out publicly to some kids then. lmao. The dude said he buys 15 pairs a month. i'm just mindblown by this world tbh.
I hear you...it's like 100k gift bags for rich actors at the Oscars...they'd get a bottle of water and a biscuit in my world
I’m just looking at how thunders are just sitting lol 🤣
I remember all of those 👍🏼
Just can’t afford them now.
I love how Dana is paying fighters 10K to get brain damage while he's buying 15 pairs of snickers a month and gambling.
His shoes are obviously coming out of his own pocket not the business.
@@harry-ez2v which he gets from the ufc. Make it make sense:
You haven’t zero knowledge about business aspects on the UFC, 15k if it’s your first fight upwards to 50-100k if you get better fights. Next time read up before you say something ignorant. Btw learn how to spell better :)
@@NeRic1990 yeah…. that’s usually how people get their money… from their job
Shoulda asked him why he disappeared after the Francis and Gane fight
Dana's smile is so great lmao
What is that colorway or jordan 1 @2:56? Never seen that one before. Looks nice!
Now we know why he left UFC 270 without holding a presser or belting Francis, to go buy sneakers 🙈😂
Great episode! I couldn't agree more with what Dana had to say, interests bring happiness to life.
I saw Dana one day walking in Soho NYC.. He passed right in front of me and he said "Hey how you doing man" Cool humble guy ! He was with 2 big bodyguards walking around. I'll never forget that. Cool guy!
Where did you get those LED accent lights
This is what he's doing with all fighters' money.
Hookers and coke as well
And he's doing absolutely nothing wrong, he was smart enough to create The UFC And he's now a multi millionaire
Francis got 600k and Cyril 500k for the last fight

I really hope Zlatan will invite Joe LaPuma and Complex to go Sneaker Shopping with him
Zlatan will invite Complex you look at his merch.
Can someone please tell me the model name of the cloud bottom Nike shoes?
damn they got regular prices I need go there lol but damn aint nobody taking a trip all the way to Vegas for some kicks
Man Must be nice not paying your fighters what they should deserve… so you can go sneaker shopping 😂
How much do they deserve? Nobody is happy with their salaries..Everybody wants more !
to anybody defending Dana listen, Fury vs Wilder sold 900k ppv and fury made 30 million, thats 50x what ngannou got payed, even if ufc 270 only sold 200k ppv, If fury was in the ufc he would have to sell atleast 10 million ppv buys to get 30 million.. No excuse
Why are you comparing boxing to ufc
the blue and the gold Gazelle love those
So cool to see Dana is a low key
Sneaker head! It’s awesome
Dana seems like such a nice guy, shouting out Travis and Adesanya as well
"These are all coming with me today"
As a sneakerhead myself I felt that
At 3m45sec, does anybody know the model under the ishod wair's
shoe ?
