Good interview.

Dana says Kimbo Slice is bad for the sport.

I see your point, but it is kind of bad for the legitimate fighters who would beat the piss out of Kimbo yet are making 5 grand a fight to his 250 k or whatever. I understand it's a business and I am glad that Kimbo is fighting as a fan. I am just not sure his rise to fame adds any credibility to MMA as a sport.

Kimbo doesn't deserve this.

I wonder if ESPN knows they are helping promote porn? The guy has Reality Kings on the back of his shorts.

Dana is just great...and greatness bother many mortals...(it's human nature - as he said in the interview)...

And I guarantee that he respects Fedor a great deal...but he must be "politically correct" and say the things he is saying...He has a REASON for it...and I hope that "reason" materializes within less than a year....(reason being: Fedor will fight Randy in the Octagon...)

I agree Milos, Dana is doing his job and that means protecting his company that he made number one in the world. There is no reason for him to give Fedor too much credit in interviews. He acknowledged he is trying to sign him and that is enough, no reason to praise the guy too much. Plus he was right, Fedor is not much of a draw outside of hardcore fans, the casual fan is where the money is. Unfortunately Kimbo, Lesnar and the freaks of the sport will draw more fans than Fedor.

First off, Kimbo is a bum!  Either way you cut it, he's a bum...  BUT, you gotta give the guy credit for trying to make some taxable money for once though.... 

As far as the sport of MMA goes he adds nothing but trash to it.  The only people who can relate to him are ghetto bums who can look up to him.  Sorry, that's no racist it's just the truth. 

It's not like an educated brother that goes to college, plays ball, stays out of trouble and makes millions...that's a role model! 

This bum goes and knocks peoples teeth out in back yards and turns into a youtube star...that's not a role model.  All he does is makes other ghetto bums think it's ok to go fight in backyards for money and maybe someday they can be on youtube...that's a f*cking joke!

I hope Dana doesn't go the WWF route and hire this clown...he's the worst thing for what the UFC represents in organized fighting!  Ummm....sanctioned fights, Athletic commision...who did that?  Dana and the UFC!  So like Dana's arrogant loud ass mouth or not...he's the reason we are posting in this forum so show a little respect!  Dana is so right in that interview it's not even funny.  When you are the boss people will love you one day and hate you the next...If you've ever had a boss or been the boss you'll agree.  He does bring controversy and that sells....

Again, like Dana or not, he and his ideas are the reason we are here today posting all over the net (well, add the Fertittas money too)...so haters...hate on...it sells!

Hope this helps...

Has any HW besides Barnett gotten any better since 2005? Nope. Not one. Fedor is, was and will be the best. No amount of Dana White banter is going to change that.

Dana and Kimbo are both bad for the sport. Paying fighters based on their ability to sell tickets and not their skills will be the downfall of this sport. Why would someone focus on actually getting better when they can act like an idiot, fight cans and make 10-fold the amount?  ::)

KIMBOS NEVER GONNA JOIN THE UFC BECAUSE HE IS BEING PROTECTED BY ELITEXC AND MAKING GOOD MONEY DOING SO,  THE REASON I LIKE DANA WHITE IS BECAUSE HE DOES NOT PROTECT HIS FIGHTER JUST BECAUSE THEY SELL TICKETS, IF YOU JOIN THE #1 MMA COMPANY IN THE WORLD YOU BETTER BE PREPARED TO FIGHT THE BEST....... THATS WHY KIMBO WILL NEVER JOIN THE UFC OR THAT RUSSIAN FIGHTER THATS TO PUSSY
