Why is that?
In the last week Dana has babbled on about how Kimbo isnt good enough for UFC, would have to go on TUF, he doesnt want a backstreet brawler on his show etc etc
But he had Sean Gannon fight in the UFC - who's main reason being was due to youtube and his bareknuckle fight with Kimbo - Evidence of this was Joe Rogan mentioning it during Seans debut (and only appearence) many times.
Hypocrite much?
They don't all show up on fightfindter, but Gannon already had several legit MMA fights at that time.
With Kimbo's popularity, it would have been smart of Dana to hire Kimbo and throw him to the wolves in his first fight. Expose him and get rid of him. Instead he let EXC build their entire MMA show around the guy and then Dana is reduced to ranting and raving on YouTube. He missed a golden chance to derail the Kimbo Frate Train.
Dead Again - Gannon won that fight against Kimbo.
Why bring the loser of a fight in along with the winner?
why bring him in at all if Dana doesnt want BBQ fighters in his organisation.
Gannon was 5 1 0 coming into UFC
Kimbo is 3 1 0 and is a much bigger draw.
Wasn't Gannon a pro fighter with Golden Gloves and NAGA wins? Plus, of course, Gannon BEAT Kimbo.
BJ > DORKUS - Wasn't Gannon a pro fighter with Golden Gloves and NAGA wins? Plus, of course, Gannon BEAT Kimbo.
Yup
Isnt Kimbo a pro fighter, with 3 Pro wins, 1 Ammy win over an ex boxing champ? Plus, of course, his multiple Youtube fights and worldwide popularity.
My point is that if you watch the gannon fight (i presume at least one person on here has?....) they are bigging him up as the guy who fought illegaly backstreet style, on youtube blah blah blah
Dana says he doesnt want people like that in his org - well he took on Gannon and that was how they marketed him.
what is an organisation.
plus he is a white guy....I said , a white guy just threw the race card...flame away.
don - what is an organisation.
The correct way of spelling it. Im english.
does the big fat bouncer he beat up count?
Armbreaker v2.1 - Mark Logann - BJ > DORKUS - Wasn't Gannon a pro fighter with Golden Gloves and NAGA wins?

I hope thats a bit clearer - ive put on the caps lock to make the letters bigger, let me know if it helps, if it doesnt then i'll try explaining another way if you like?

If you're missing the point utterly and totally then yes, end of thread.
Gannon had legit fights, and he beat Kimbo. same reasons everyone else is saying
Kimbo became a much bigger deal after being fed cans on free tv. back when you're talking about, he wasn't a draw and there was no reason to bring him over
not to mention that he's had an extra few years of training and he's still going to lose to the first decent guy he fights. totally pointless
also important to note, gannon was not paid a half mill
At the time Dana brought Gannon in for one fight, Kimbo was 0-0 professionally.
ALL he had were his backyard fights. The only guy he fought in those videos that had any experience/talent was gannon....and he lost.
oh course Dana White is a hypocrit.
This is the same guy saying that Fedor isn't even top 10 when the guy has smashed his heavyweight champion twice, and with ease... lol.
Dana isn't so much of a hypocirt as he just has an extremely vested interest.
People sit there and applaud the guy like mad for criticizing another organization when realistically the guy is full of shit lol.
Don't get me wrong, I respect the guy to death. Great business man, and he's done amazing things for the sport. But when it comes to competition, and the things that he says, I can report that he is full of shit. lol.
At the time, Sean Gannon was allowed to fight because he BEAT Kimbo.
Why would the UFC bring in the guy who LOST the fight?
Bringing in Kimbo, whose a bum, whose only liked by new and uneducated fans, would be wrong IMHO.
Plus the UFC doesn't give "no shoot" clauses.
they never marketed him. they dont market fighters on the undercard.
