Dana said $20,000,000 because nose bleeds are $2099
Ikr 🤣 thinking the same thing
The nosebleeds for Pierera vs Izzy were $500. Bigger fight overall imo
2 million gate
18000 tickets sold.
110$ average ticket price.....
Are you stupid or just can't math?
Tix prices are ridiculous 👎🏼
@@tjwinsdawgsConor and chandler are both more popular so no that wouldn’t be a bigger fight😂
Who invites these illiterate people to ask questions? 🤦♂️
i'll brand you

Yeah I never once heard Connor’s name
I love you
wtf Esteban ribovics gets no bonus
Right!? That’s some bs right there
I hate Dana @@BobJeff-wk7ht
Dana doing Dana things there are certain pen15 he likes to munch on
They usually take care of these guys back stage. They always cut checks for guys that perform.
@sayville_silver interesting can you show us proof? Do you work for the ufc?
Do they just let anyone ask questions? Where do we sign up for that? I got some dumb questions?
😂😂
Always, when you coming back to Mexico lol. When are you coming back questions should be banned
They should unban Ariel so he can actually bust Dana's balls. The media now feels so... controlled.
Yeah I mean who can forget Ariel's highly critical in depth question to Conor "did you get your teeth whitened?" Smh
facts bro they're all shit scared of Dana and Dana's skin is softer than baby shit
That’s why Dana hates Ariel lol
@@olbapoli4074 I think it's a legit question. It's pretty weird imo. Should be asked.
Keep hating on the O'G.
@@olbapoli4074 You getting paid to make stupid comments or u doing it for free?
Usually the reporters ask dumb crap but this week takes the cake
Nina drama walked so these ppl could run
@@bobbyhepfl3417Exactly, if they kept her separate, leave her on social media with the rest of em. They can bitch and moan about Ariel as much as they want, there's a reason he's the No1 MMA journalist, there's slim pickings
@@alrightgeezeit would be funny if Nina asked that question
@@alrightgeezewhat even determines if he’s #1 journalist or not?😂😂the award is decided by 100 journalists who vote
@@kylewade8704 well he quite clearly is, if not who's the census better journalist
😂...I've never seen Danna lost for words before...when the lady asked to be branded... she's definitely into some heavy shit...ride em cowboy...😂
I think of Bam Margera with the penis brand!
Why they bringing up power slap and nelk boys?
Because if you ask a real question you get kicked out.
That woman is a freak 😂
They need to start showing the ppl asking the questions. That had me intrigued to see her 😂
yes sir
Who's she? Name drop please
@@user-qj4hn4wj1j D’Arude Sandstorm
LMAOOOOO Even dana had to take a second to process what she said
“Clout” she actually said that word? Hf. Wait, How old is she ?
Tik-Tok brain is real
Shes been brainwashed by social media. Back when i heard Tupac first using the word clout in the 90s it was something you didn't want. Today it means the opposite.
She needs to be banned
No mention of carlos ulberg . Get some better reporters who actualy talk about the fights that won bonuses .
Not against Jared Gordon.
What a unique group of reporters lmao
That women should never be allowed to be in a UFC media room ever again.. it’s insane how these people get credentials
I thought it was brilliant .
She shootout dana bull and created a soundbite
It's a dirty cup, not a fucking homerun ball...
You think drunk fans care, I bet they sell that shit in 20 years. Can’t assume everyone thinks like u
Call me Darth Vader because I'm putting that shit on like a mask!
A lot more rare than a homerun ball though. I've got a random homerun ball in my closet that wouldn't sell for anything. I wouldn't be surprised if that cup sold on ebay for $500+ right now.
he got herpes too lol
Dude will now become a collector, of fighter cups.
“Yeah like I’m really good friends with Buckley” he don’t know you lil bro 😭😭😭😂😂😂
8:01 Danas face😂😅
One of the reporters took the Bud Light challenge?
UFC press is so problematic, filled with fans of Dana white who don’t ask tough questions for fear of losing their access.
So many good points that I started and still loved Dana White he did a Bill Belichick from last Sunday. He is a great president tonight he shinde tonight he was great in his post fight interview. When he said I would do anything for Derrick Lewis even when he wanted to join the WWE
Happy for Buckley. Dude has been putting in the work and it’s finally paying off. Hilarious Dana said St Louis has great weather. Maybe this weekend lol
I’m down for it. Apex is cool, and it’s great for TUF and the DWCS. But the fight nights and PPV’s they need big crowds. And this means more live events for the fans to enjoy. I’m hyped.
They ahoukd start doing fight nights in those smaller arenas around the country.
No bonus for Ribovics is kinda wild but whatever
That's what UFC and Jones want is an old Stipe but we want him to fight Aspinall
Cant wait to see the sphere event.
Thanks for the video, MMA JUNKIE
you can tell Dana loves Lewis. Lewis will have a "gig" doing something for a nice paycheck as long as Dana is around.
15:00. WHO’s WALDO?? 🤣
“Sign the cup Dana” 😂
I’m surprised he ever gave someone the keys.
Buckley already getting his character in UFC game in June
Imagine UFC at the Sphere goes like this;
Topuria Holloway Main Event
O’Malley Dvalishvilli Co-Main
Grasso Shevchenko 3
and they have the fights playing on the giant screen inside the Sphere with what I imagine will be sick visuals for entrances and if they broadcast the fights on the outside of the Sphere for everyone in Vegas to see. Imagine you’re on a balcony at a Vegas hotel looking at the Sphere watching the fight playing. That’d be what dreams are made of.
he didnt give esteban for that ko......dam dana w t f
Love listening to Dana, I regard him as a true mentor, I am sure I am not the only one 🙏 god bless Dana
I mean when your throwing events in the apex every other week ofc these types of shows will go insane, no matter who’s fighting or where it’s at.
How the fk did Carlos Ulberg not get mentioned 🤦🏽♂️
Well all you have to do is raise prices to get a much bigger gate. Not hard.. just say someone who is popular then raise prices. Boom make more money.
JJ will kill AP from any position, either striking or grappling...don't go there Alex unless you have a perfect take down defense.
St.louis ain’t clean
It smells a lot like WWE promotional "fan based choices" to justify avoiding that some none American fighters not getting a deserved title chance.
That chick that wants to get branded is nuts😂
I can’t believe he said that waldo Cortez had a shitty performance
Holy shit, these questions were the worst. With all the relevant questions to ask, and not one question about the judging. Incredible. People get paid for this???
I hate this narrative of “it broke record for highest grossing…” of course it did all tickets are like 300% higher price than they were in the past year let alone years ago. Great event but nobody cares about these stats but the investors and owners
I care and many other's,
I never cared for conor he never defended a belt.
And hasn't had a win in years .
His only win was a wash cowboy .
But yet he could sellout over price tickets.
Happy for chandler tho
Dana get a Bosnian fighter on the next card!!
Dana is SO MAD about the Acosta win because he just lost his HW Alex Pereira. The fight was not nearly as bad as Dana is saying. Everyone just lost their parlay and Dana lost his boy and will have to remarket him and feed him exclusively strikers now. Its a major headache for him. Really funny to see him pretend like he didnt even know his name and then give a whole speech about it. If you notice they didnt interview him after the fight either. Dana was very upset and you can see it on every level.
Only 50k? Again
50k fight bonus is such a laughable joke. This is why fights bs big time boxers will always take place on boxers terms. They make 100 times more $. Most mma fans don’t understand that.
This has to be one of the worst press conferences after. These journalist reporters are absolutely terrible. I wish we had Ariel back
I get that Buckley is doing good but he putting the cart before the horse-he’s no Conor Mcgregor-I’m not talking about skill -I’m talking about persona and popularity. People just need to stop with that crap.
I think Dana has finally read my comments on every single Apex card. The feel of those cards suck and just feels like Covid time. I’d bitch every card. I did say why doesn’t he just build a small place that’s half the size of an arena -like 10,000 ppl. Maybe 6,000 and instead of having a small cage have a bigger cage than normal.
How is slap doing?
derrick lewis says anything and you love it? dude mooned the crowd and like a bunch of immature kids people actually like that? this generation is f...ked
im old and i thought it was hilarious, my generation is immature at times too
@brendanmills5536 hilarious? Whats so funny about that?
@@Fony_turgesonhes having fun. Derrick Is V Big Lil kid. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
@@jarrickcastle1043 ok tough guy. He's having fun by mooning the crowd. Bunch of mo-rons you people are
@Fony_turgeson just the moment bro, i was stoked to see the big man get another win, I'm a fan and he's a character, lighten up bro you'll live longer
Damn you just motivated tf out of cowboy
This was one of the shittiest cards in a while
What? Almost the entire card was great.
This is a joke because there was at least , 3-5 worst cards of all time the past year
Not a great card but lots of good fights.
@@JackMehoffZaddythis is also a joke because there's way more than that this card was sold af
🤡 Main and co main event were solid there was a ko of the year worthy ko with that head kick saw a 12 second ko saw a beat down with an arguable 10-7 Rd this card is atleast a 7 definitely been 2-3 cards worse in the past 2 month alone
I'm here chilling watching a Dana White UFC event recap, and out of nowhere I get the information that some women want to be branded. WTF
What's wrong with that?
@@BeachMoney-icu You must have a lot of bad things going on in your life if you read my comment and somehow managed to extrapolate that "something is wrong".
@skinmanikin better than being stuck in my room all day and not getting any girls 🙄
@@skinmanikindon't see noting wrong with it.
Many women i personally know got branded,
@@BeachMoney-icu then get out of your room and get some girls
i’m best friends with chandler. he called the other day. he is guaranteed 1.5 million to take a dive in the 3rd round. you heard it here.
LOL
What a terrible watch. Bad questions.
😂😂😂 tornadoes
Jones vs stipe prediction by ufc - jones finish stipe less than 2 mins then claiming jones is the GOAT and media move him to rank #1 and subsequently make jones vs aspinal
First Stipe vs Jones will be very competitive
Second if Jones wins he will retire
DEI journalist? 😂😂😂
Lol The female saying she wanted to get branded didn’t seem odd to me. People do all kinds of things. Tattoos are forever so a brand will look just as cool when healed up.
It will not.
Never believe these numbers
Lol it's literally public knowledge.
UFC numbers are pretty reliable, boxing on the other hand...
Dana saying the sphere will be a masterpiece loool more like the ticket prices will be a masterpiece for his wallet
No Dana No Party
Who was the 'reporter' that wanted to be branded?
Abbey Wagoner
No more apex
St Louis is great lol
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Dana at a COMPLETE loss for words 😂…branding…
Beast FAIL$ TO GRAB A BONU$?
NOBODY wants to see Jones Stipe!!!!! Come on Dana. Your a smart guy. Stipe. Jesus
50 thousand dollars bonus only still in 2024
Lmao. There were so many empty seats. Mf lying lol
They break records every fight 😭 sht 🧢 says that every event when I went there was also empty seats
Who was the female that wanted to get branded by Donald Cerrone?
And by the way I am definitely Googling cowboy Cerrone riding a bull after this
About time. Apex is shit.
Cortez costa won not shre why hes getting beaten down like he sucked. Homie sucked . Showed zero grappling.
He can hate espenosa all he wants he stated facts. UFC has never done a 20M gate & espenoza has put on dozens of them in boxing. I do think ufc is a better sport for the fans but ufc events do not even compare to the $ boxing generates at the gate. It’s not even a comparison.
Only a select amount of fights, night in night out UFC more consistent
@@GeraldGruenigMedia1 even ufc PPV events have 300-400-500 dollar tickets. Try going to a boxing PPV fight. No ticket under 1000.00 dollars. So boxing will always make more at the gate
@@Gryphon129 You're picking huge boxing events, that is not close to the average boxing ticket price
@@GeraldGruenigMedia1 yes, that’s true & ufc fans talk about their huge events as well “ppv”
UFC PPV gates do crumbs to boxing PPV gates
@@Gryphon129 and again you're talking about a select few events, a fight goes on every Friday and Saturday in boxing and it does nothing at the gate
If it comes out of Dana's mouth, then it's a lie.
Brand me 🤣
Danas sad robummbis lost 🤣🤣🤣
"Clout.." what clout? I think she mispronounced clown.
I just don't get it. How is Conor still so popular...
He has never put on a boring fight in his life win or lose, plus his fights are like the superbowl of the UFC. You get the crazy hype, a diverse mixture of fans, fog in the octagon, live performances from rock stars, crap like that. People just like having fun, man.
Dana please no more Laura commentary.. it’s messed up to have woman crossing over to our sports and just messing things up. She said a couple of things that men would never say. Sort it out Dane the woke people are getting there way
Tf wrong with that woman??
Sounds like my kinda woman 😅
Tik-Tok brain
@@DanaOrtizthey all the same
Sanko is the worst! She always interrupts the guys that actually know what they are talking about she sounds so clueless every time she opens her mouth!
⬆60sec UFC bet breakdowns🔥
Conor still that big of a draw is mind boggling. I have some interest in watching him fight, but zero interest in ever paying to see him fight.
His fight is actually one of the only ones this year I'm willing to pay for.
Whatever makes you happy. I’m not willing to pay for any fights because there’s really no huge stars right now. The fact that the UFC is also a huge reason. I’m not supporting a Company that makes a deal with Budweiser.
You go woke you are not getting my money.@@Fightconnoisseur96
I have a feeling Conor vs Chandler is gonna be a shitshow between two washed legends, like Nate vs Tony
Conor wins for sure, its the easiesr doubling of your money youll ever make. Its literally hand picked for conor, chandler is very overrated, old, and waited yrs for this money fight because he knows if he fought anyone else and lost he would lose his chance.
How is Chandler a legend ? For losing 3 fights and wining 2 in the UFC ?
Chandler is not a star. Kind of shocked they allowed chandler to have it after all the begging and waiting......so many other fighters should fight Mcgregor instead
@@babahadjimohamed9339Bellator legend
@@joshnagel8819 fair enough
Dumb
If that amazing kick ko was from Terrance, you would give Terrance a Bonus. But Esteban Rivobics is humble and not a stupid talker, so there is no bonus for him, right? Ufc sucks!
Derrick waving his shorts was hilarious
why is that funny to you?
dont let that jew brand you wtf
Cowboy is a Jew
If Paddy Pimblett later on, became a serial killer or terrorist, would we all still have to call him Paddy The Baddy.
jump..
Sounds like they rounded up some make a wish teenagers to ask dana questions
