It was obvious from the beginning Dana was going to be fine. There were 2 options:
Remove Dana as president and watch the stock tank and the UFC flounder. There’s no one who can replace Dana.
Have Dan issue a public apology, stay quiet and ride out the media outrage cycle for a few weeks.
They didn’t even cancel his ridiculous slap league. Once you saw that it was crystal clear there would be no repercussions.

Anyone can do Dana’s job!
That is why multiple billionaire businessmen have chosen him to do it!
Anyone can do it even the average fast food employee or starbucks barista!

UFC isn’t the exception because of Dana but because it’s the name brand of MMA. It’s the name brand because it was the first to get broadcasting deal (credit goes to Lorenzo). Dana’s role was being smart enough to see the potential and convince the Fertittas to get involved. His actual role and position as the figurehead could have been filled by anyone under the same circumstances.
He’s definitely not some god tier promoter who was crucial. More like right place right time. Let’s not even get started on his outside of MMA flops.
I don’t agree but that’s okay we don’t have to agree. UFC as a product is top notch… now is that Dana White or is it some of his staff? I don’t know. For example I talked about strikeforce… that was an excellent product it looked good on TV, excellent fights, big stars, lots of hype, good TV deals… yet when you took Coker and put him in bellator its a giant pile of shit. So would the same be said for Dana White?
I think the real question is if we took Dana White and gave him bellator for 5+ years would bellator still be a steaming pile of shit or would it be watchable?
Personally I think he could make it watchable.
I assume he would try to use the exact same playbook and make Bellator look like the UFC. Maybe it works, but probably it doesn’t.
A better question might be can Dana turn Bellator around in 5 years using the Bellator format and playbook?
Personally, I think One has the right strategy with partnering with Prime Video. UFC should have done that instead of going with ESPN with the much less attractive service that really only resonates with broad sport enthusiasts.

They shopped Pat’s head on Dana’s body.

It’s funny how people who’ve followed the sport for decades can see a Photoshop of Dana and Rose, think it’s legit (it looks legit) and have their perception of a fighter changed.
Like Rose is sucking Dana’s cock. I doubt Dana approached any female fighters for sexual favors. He’s probably only gotten the ones that come to him. No way to get rejected and less likely to get sued.
I could see all the only fans wmma fighters (pvz, Rachel ostrich, felice herring) showing up at Dana’s office sans panties, to “negotiate” some backdoor… I mean back room bonuses. But not my sweet Rose.
Edit-- how could I forget the other onlyfans Thot, evil eye. 11 fight losing streak before she retired.

Maybe Costa knew it was a photoshop and wanted attention anyway. He just likes to make noise about being disgruntled over his contract situation.
