dana white brings up some interesting facts but i just don't trust him. nobody in there right mind would say fedor is not in the top 5 hws in the world.....come on!!!!
he is a liar.

Thinking Fedor is not the best is not a lie, it's an opinion. 

The press conference was real interesting.  Considering the current facts, I have to side with the UFC.  After getting KO'd 2x's, Randy was allowed to come back WITH a title shot.  He also got a $500,000 signing bonus.   In total, he's made over $3 million in less than a year.   None of it would have been possible if Dana had told him to eat shit when he came crawling back after retirement. 

WTF does he have to complain about It sounds like Randy is either lying, or really dumb.

i m not saying he is lying about not thinking fedor is the best i just think he is dishonest in general. he has always been secretive about how much the ufc makes so randy made 3million...thats peanuts compared to boxing

Give it 50 years then you can compare it with boxing.

saying fedor's not top five is an opinion but I have a hard time believing it's his honest opinion,it sounds more to me like a case of sour grapes than anything else,why would he make such a big deal out of potentially signing him and offering the reported money if he did'nt think he was top 5 ?

for him to say that seriously puts his charactor in question (IMO)

Dana White seems like an upstanding mutherfcuker to me.

He handed Bonnar an equal contract to Forrest Griffin's, even though he didn't have to, took that decision right there live on his way to the octagon, during the prize ceremony for the first Ultimate Fighter final bout.

Dana White's cleaned up UFC's act over the last 4-5 years, built it into the premier fighting sport today IMO.

Who gives a fcuk about Ricky Hutton vs Mayweather when there are at least one fight as entertaining and with as much built-in dynamic in every UFC show?

Boxing seems dull in comparison.

And where UFC in the past was considered dangerous, brutal, and a sideshow, it's now a sport for elite athletes (plus Tim Sylva).

The judging have been very good, in comparison to the questionable BS going on in the IFL, and what we too often see in K-1.

It's easy to side with Dana White on this one IMO.

and dana did'nt clean up shit......state commisions here in the U.S dictated most of the rule changes or they would'nt have any place to hold these shows

the 6 figure contract he gave Bonnar is spread over 5 or 6 fights so in reality it was'nt that much of a pay raise for him,it only guaranteed he's have bonnar around for future fights....

and state commissions are in charge if judges and scoring of fights NOT dana or the UFC

Remember guys,  The UFC gave Randy that bonus and the title shot as a response to Bodog offering Randy a couple mill to come and fight Fedor.  500.000 is not a guaranteed 2 mill.

Did bodog offer Randy a piece of the backend?  With the UFC he took in $3 million in 8 months...

They have fights every 4-6 weeks!  They can't all be top card fighters.  And no...Fedor is not the best.  I doubt he would even get past Tim the redneck Silvia.

Are you fucking retarded? or brain dead ?

I'll go as far as to say that if I got in the cage with "FEDOR", I would more than hold my own.  He'd have no where to run in the cage.  One elbow across his forehead and it would be over.
