Mens Journal inside UFC

Quoteworthy:

“You ever done any jiujitsu? It’ll fucking blow your mind. The first time I tried it, it was like taking the red pill in The Matrix.”

UFC President Dana White gives a green reporter from Men’s Journal a tour of UFC headquarters on West Sahara Avenue in Las Vegas, Nevada, during a recent feature piece and puts him through some mixed martial arts demonstrations.

lol, he really can’t get through an interview without unleashing the F-bomb.

He is an idiot. Dana would be great if he lost his voice for about 2 years!

Dana is an excellent sales person and sales manager. Boundless enthusiasm with a personal style is what buyers want. If the F word is his trademark well it’s mine too and most people I meet.

I’m suspect of people who don’t drop an F Bomb from time to time.

No one would give a shit about MMA or the UFC if Dana didn’t hype it. And now the UFC doesn’t need much hype because it is the real deal. Real rankings and match up’s that make sense as fighters fight there way to the top. We all know the fighters by name and Dana has given us a steady stream of newcomers to watch.

It is getting harder and harder for unknowns to break in. Look at Houston Alexander for example. Look at the Pride fighters vs. UFC fighter debate.

You can keep you’re head in the sand but the bottome line is there is a real leauge and a real championship now.

Is he an egomaniac? Maybe. But his self confidence allows him to get things done.

If it wasn’t Dana at the top it’d be another guy no one likes so be happy and watch the fights.

Good to see someone with a bit of sense.
Best post I’ve read here.

I never said I didn’t drop the F bomb from time to time. I said that Dana can’t get through an interview without saying it. It’s not like he says it every now and then, he says it ALL the time.

Oh, and saying “Fuck” is your trademark? That’s kind of sad.

Dana White is obviously doing something right. Nobody’s ‘fuckin’ perfect.

This sport is getting better and better. I just wish the boys weren’t exploited as much. You shouldn’t have to apologize for winning a fight if it comes to a decision. A win is a win.

I wasn’t replying directly to you R Diz or any one for that matter just commenting out loud and I was being facetious when I mentioned the F word is my trademark too.

Bottom line is I buy what Dana sells and I’m pretty happy with it and am a repeat customer. Do I want a better product? And a better one cheaper? Hell yeah.

And Dana know’s this and is continuously working to satisfy me.

Check out this from the article:
“White says, “Hey, Jen, take him over to the Xyience gym so Forrest can kick him in the leg, okay?”

Xyience gym? I thought Forrest was at Xtreme Couture. Anyone have a good explanation?

The Xyience gym is the same as the UFC training center, right? I just thought they called it that for sponsorship purposes.

Nope. The Xyience gym is about 30 mins (depending on traffic) from the UFC office/gym.

Also, Forrest is still at Xtreme. He’s also sponsored by Xyience. If you had two gyms to take advantage of, wouldn’t you take it?
