"Right now, what we've used to go into Europe and even Australia is our U.K. office," White said. "But we're looking right now – and here I go jumping ahead of myself and saying stuff before we do it – but we're going to open an office in China."
"We bought this company, and we were doing five fights a year. If you would have told me six or seven years ago that we'd be doing 34 fights a year, I would have said, 'That's impossible. It'll never happen. That's crazy.' We're probably going to end up doing 100 fights a year.
"We could have a show [in the U.S.] on Saturday night and five more going on in five other countries. That's what's going to eventually happen. It's figuring this thing out, putting the pieces together, and like I said, it's a work in progress. But I'm telling you guys, I said it years ago, and I've been saying it – how big this thing is going to be. I think people are now really starting to realize how big this thing is really going to be."
"I've been saying for years that we're going to be bigger than the NFL, and people were laughing at me. Well, it's starting to look like a reality now."
This guy is such a delusional dipshit. Keep drinking and getting more and more bloated Dana because these kind of statements seem more fueled by Jim Beam than reality.........
Dana is fucking awesome.
I think he wants to monopolize ALL mma, not just the major leagues but the minors too, Crazy shit.
too many shows if he is trying to be serious
that would be terrible.
Dana White is batshit crazy.
No...it would be awesome...he could set up Americas League, a European League, and Asian League etc. The you could have domestic belts and international belts. Thus you would get a lot more up and comers with domestic audience and maybe somewhat smaller show with one big-time event a month. Then he would easily be able to carry a regular weekly time slot for fights.
" delusional dipshit" ??
Dana is a machine... how can you call him a dipshit? Has he not delivered on almost everything he has promised so far?
EVIL!!!!!
hmmm i don't think he means 100 ppvs you f-ing hawkings
I kind of miss when there were only 5 or 6 shows a year.
Nice work, Dana White.
Another step on the way to McDojo mma.
Bigger than soccer.....
Brian Rule - hmmm i don't think he means 100 ppvs you f-ing hawkings
Exactly. As was mentioned earlier it would most likely be the UFC brand on smaller shows. I imagine many of them wouldn't even be televised.
No shit. Not 100 ppv's.
Just 100 events.
Like I said...Mcdojo mma here we come.
i saw the thread title and was like "fuck, no way i can afford that!"

oh yeah? when is he going to make up for that Anderson horseshit?
It will water down MMA for sure.
Dana has to realize that you have to keep people wanting more, it's not just about getting every nickel you can off of every show you can produce. I love MMA but don't want to get bored of it. That's just overproduction. 2 shows a month is stretching it right now, I don't even pay for both I go elsewhere for one of them.
