Dana Whitae brought MMA to the forefront. And when he got it there he completely under minded it and is in danger of making it a laughing stock like WWE...He jumped the shark with Brock Lesner and went into retard mode with the whole female fighting BS...
I am not a fan of Dana White or his ridiculous ways (bullying fighters, exclusivity contracts and low-pay to the fighters).
I don't appreciate him trying to bring Brock Lesnar into MMA. I believe he did so in order to
STEAL some of the WWe fans, which in my opinion are die hard fans that spawn many future generations of adamant fans if fed the right form of entertainment.
Pay close attention and notice how he (Dana) recently started:
..incorporating the walk-through of a fighter from his locker room all the way to the octagon. He is trying to slowly emulate the practice seen in the WWe.
..to cultivate a culture of trash-talking prior to fights similar to that seen in the WWe. Chael Sonnen is a great example, hence why Dana loves Sonnen and matches him against big names even though he hasn't earned those fights.
..tells his fighters not to change their entrance theme songs, as to cultivate a feeling of familiarity with your favorite fighter.
If it were up to him (as a business man), he would steal as many tricks as he can from Vince McMahon in order to try to make the UFC as lucrative as the WWe.
Sit tight and before you know it, you will see Dana White in the Octagon getting body slammed, while one of his family members runs into the ring with a foldable chair.
