The whole thing is unintentionally hilarious and in my opinion made things worse.

everyone who is soooooooo outraged that the big bad wolf is not going to be strung up for a bad night should stop watching the UFC as a sign of solidarity…
it really is that simple…
if you so offended, just quit watching and be happier in your “life”…

Absolutely.
Thats stupid.
Why stop watching UFC because their president is an asshole?
I don’t watch the UFC because I like Dana, I watch it for the fights…
Dana has always tried to make himself a selling point but I couldn’t care less.
I don’t care what repercussions Dana gets, I’m just pointing out how ridiculous his logic is.
That being said, if Dana left the UFC, it would be good for the sport and the fighters with UFC especially.

it is not stupid…
it is really trying to be helpful for all the forum nerds who hate everything and do nothing but bitch and moan about everything all day…
everyone should strive to live their best lives and the vitriol that UFC creates inside of the average “fan” during their normal course of business seems to be just too much for some of you…
Idk why people having an opinion on this is triggering so many people.
Dana white is the face of the UFC and was caught on camera initiating a fight by grabbing his wife, getting slapped and then slapping her twice back.
He himself says multiple times he deserves all the criticism and no one should defend him. Yet he has many people defending him and/or saying they shouldn’t criticize him. Maybe those people should listen to what Dana is saying ?
It’s objectively hilarious that he says “my punishment is that I did it”
LOL. C’mon if thats not funny, what is.

it is not about defense…
it is about “entertainment”…
and if this form of “entertainment” brings so much strife to your life that it compels such whining and mewling on a nerd forum, then, i am simply suggesting perhaps most of you would be happier finding another form of “entertainment”…
but…
i don’t know why you are getting so “triggered” when all i am doing is just trying to help out the less fortunate of the forum nerds who clearly struggle with some things…
My brother in christ, we are both on this forum.
This is a thread on Dana’s recent presser, it was done yesterday.
We are here to discuss this, and if discussing it upsets you, you can simply leave the thread and the “nerd” forum.

I’m not so sure this is true. Love him or hate him, Dana is a part of the UFC. No other president or person in a similar role, has ran a successful MMA organization as Dana has.
For every one fighter who hates him or has gripes, there are 10x the amount that like working with him and are happy for the opportunity to be in the company.
The reality is, he’s a pretty good promoter, surrounds himself by pretty solid staff, and is an integral part of the brand. I think Endeavors decision to not remove him pretty much backs that up.

Yeah, just my opinion based on limited info, over 20 years watching the sport as a fan.
I think its undoubtable that Dana is petty and vindictive person.
Is he really indispensable? I doubt it, but I could be wrong as I don’t work with him or see what happens behind closed doors.

I called this, they won’t get rid of him because it hurts the bottom line.
They don’t have anyone who can step in and keep the money train rolling.
Having said that, hitting anyone is wrong but I also know that if you hit, expect something back.
On top of that, I’m not sure I know where the line is drawn for what you do in your personal life affecting your professional life and who gets to make that distinction.
Lots of muddy water here to wade through and I am not the guy to lead anyone through it I guess.

Are there conspiracy theories yet?
About how Dana, being GOAT fight promoter, staged this UNPRECEDENTED WIFESLAP in order to hype up the new slap fighting events?

personally, not upset at all…
i just see the same nerds complain about the same things over and over…
i just worry about the overall mental health…
entertainment should be entertaining and not cause this much stress in your guys lives…
If he was a nasty wife beater, it’d be a factor. Him and the wife getting too physical in arguments, yet barely being so, who gives a shit? Let him bang, bro. I mean, let people do their damn jobs without looking at all their personal faults. If the UFC loses money because this, then, sure, they might do something. If it doesn’t happen, let the whiners whine. Stop giving them power that they don’t have.
