Dana OK in my book

Dana White takes a lot of heat and criticism for his public demeanor but actions speak alot louder. After having a seizure before the Stout fight, Dana still paid Phillipe Nover even though he was unable to perform. From Phillipe's Blog at www.phillipenover.com :

Dana White and Joe Silva are at the top of my list for being so generous and providing me with the show money and win money. They didn't need to provide me with a single penny.. When I found this out I literally broke down in tears of joy. Every up and coming full time professional fighter knows that each check counts! When I approach Dana to thank him his exact words were “We only care about your health. Get better and so we can get you back in that cage!” When I approach Joe to thank him later that evening. He said “Don't you worry Phillipe. We take care of our guys. It wasn't your fault.” My hat goes off to the UFC

I thought that was a classy thing to do as well.

but dana talks shit about howard stern, he is a bad person!

 Yup...

 Dana is a human being!



Also, injured fighters can't earn him any money.

this move by dana white was more than ok in my book. it was generous, good for the image of the ufc, and good for employee morale. classy.

that doesn't mean dana is ok in my book for everything he does.

Well put Tom. Just thought I'd put it out there. He didnt have to pay Nover for him to want to stay in the UFC. Pending a medical clearance, Phillipe Nover would probably have bit the bullet and continued training to stay with the UFC. What Dana did just made it a little easier to do so.

I saw Dana give some random little kid a $100 bill once. The little kid had a smile from ear to ear.

That was pretty cool

I saw Dana save a kitty from a burning tree. He climbed up and rescued the kitty. The little kitty had a smile from ear to ear.

That was pretty cool

 Dana came to theTuff-N-Uff fights last night and he didn't turn down one autograph or picture request!



I saw this guy holding a little kid ask Dana for a pic and then later last night I heard someone say "Dana gave some little kid and his dad a hundred bucks."



Here's the pic:






Dana white is Santa Clause off season.

"White" - get it.

We've been looking at the truth this whole time

 I have said it before he is excellent during events to the fans I was very impressed when we met him at the MGM he must have posed for 10 000 pics.He never went through the back door always walked straight through the lobby being stopped by everyone.Alot of the fans at the hotel were at there first event were very excited to see the fighters and Dana everywhere they went.

 The Baldfather FTW=)

really? do you know me? or are you just assuming?

Never talk shit about "The King of All of Media!"

 lol. i think dana loves the spotlight and doesnt mind being mobbed by fans at all. also, ive heard somewhere he goes through vegas casinos givin money to ppl that look down on their luck. anyone else hear this? pretty funny bc then the money goes right back to the fertittas

 I know a few fighters who got unexpected post fight checks in the mail. Classy move.
