I agree with the guy who wrote that you can’t punish one fighter and not have some serious repercussions for all the guys who destroyed that house. Jesse messed up, absolutely! But what does Dana (whom I really respect and like) say to the world when he lets them away with all that crap.

Why should a window in a limo be given more importance than those bunch of guys ripping a nice house apart?

If Dana doesn’t want to create the image that the UFC guys are ‘animals,’ every guy should be dinged from their earnings for all that was destroyed?

Yes, they get all pent up while in the house with no contact from home, etc. However, to represent a company which has given legitimacy to Ultimate Fighting, all actions by those potential members of the organization — in the house as well as in public — should be monitored, with responsibility assigned to every house member who violates those guidelines.

Would they rip their own homes a part like that? NO! Because they know the cost of those things and the value of caring for their own property.

They owe you as much — if not more — Dana.

But that’s exactly what CB does – I thought he was going to go get his blankie and get some zzz’s while he was using Tim as a pillow. CB DULLaway should get a room.

Dana White probably had an orgasm when he saw the vid of Jesse making an a** of himself.
He couldn’t wait to get rid of this guy…What a stiff!
Just what the UFC needs…another lay & pray fighter.
GSP has the position all locked up for now Jesse. He doesn’t want anyone to hit him either.
That’s what you do when you’re a Pussy & you don’t want anyone to hit you, …you take the guy down and lay on top of him like your starring in a GAY porno.
GOOD RIDDANCE!

It’s about time. Coco needed to go. Dana has wo0rked hard to make MMA legit and the sport has grown because of his and others efforts. They try to ensure it does not become a WWE like circus and true blood sport. We don’t need nucleheads like him trying to turn the sport into a monkey knife fight….No Coco…put down that shank

Yeah, if Dana were so concerned with image and not rating$$ he would not have aired this behavior, let alone promoted the shit out of this episode, he would have just said Jesse dq’d from final for hangin’ w/ Tito, or blahblah, whatever….and Jesse, shut your f’n hole about going to AA, it is an anonymous program that states we don’t announce ourselves at the level of press, radio and film, so shut the f up and get sober, or not…but please don’t make AA look bad with your early grandstanding, pleez……. but I do feel for you, as I pissed away much til quitting through AA 17 yrs ago….

Oh don’t worry Jesse you’ll get your chance. Just like about 1/4 of the Ultimate Fighters who lost, Dana still gave them the opportunity.

I agree with you. And let’s not forget BJ Penn getting in a fight with an officer outside a club in Hawaii and having to go to court over it! Dana completely overreacted about Jesse.

Ha! Fine legal analysis there by DirtyML. You don’t think you can fire someone legally for alcohol/drug related issues? Think about this one. If i go back to the office drunk later this afternoon and my boss says anything, ill just tell him that DirtyML assured me it is not legal to discharge me for such behavior.
