So.....Dana White, a former aerobics instructor is calling Randy Couture, a former US Airborne Ranger and MMA legend a coward and not a man? 


Fact is that Randy doesn't have to answer to Dana's beckoning call...he can do what he what the fuck he wants.  He's just mad that he signed with Bellator....fuck Dana White.

Dana is the kinda guy that'll try to sweet talk you, smile, while he's screwing you over. The guy has and continues to underpay fighters. He's just mad that others have negotiated prices elsewhere and went where they got the most money. Dana is a douche!

UFC has a monopoly on the market. Sure you can leave and go somewhere else and get paid more but you won't have the same spotlight. Dana is this generation's Vince McMahon.

D. White is such a fucking asshole.

This dirty guy has been underpaying people for years and always badmouths the fighters that sign with other people.

What a jerk-off.

Let's call a spade a spade. UFC and Dana are selling out big venues and puts up big numbers in pay per view. The other MMA organizations are little league. A top boxer gets between 15 million and 20 million a fight. What does a top MMA guy get? 200K or maybe a little more. Notice how contractually you never or rarely hear of the purses in MMA only in boxing?  The only conclusion that I can draw is that Dana and crew are pocketing the money and giving the fighters chump change. This is why the fighters turn on him. It's essentially a monopoly on MMA. I wouldn't doubt Dana makes 5 million an event and the suits in the UFC are taking more. The shelf life of a MMA fighter is a short one if they take a couple of fights a year.
