MMA Bad Boy, Dana White?
Not only is the UFC everywhere these days, but so too is Dana White. I love the guy. I hate the guy. I can’t get away from the chrome-domed king of mixed martial arts.
I know a lot of people think of fighters being the bad boys of the sport (like Tito Ortiz, the Huntington Beach Bad Boy) but right now Dana seems to be fitting that bill. Check out the latest coverage of Dana in Rolling Stone magazine with their article dubbed What The F**k Is Dana White Fighting For? Here is a little taste.
You can’t make everybody happy. But you gotta understand too, in this business, I’m the promoter. My role is I’m always gonna be the fucking bad guy. No matter what I do. Or how many great things I do for people. Or how many fighters I make millionaires. Because if you’re a fight promoter, and if you make a fucking dollar, you’re a scumbag. You shouldn’t get that money, the fighters should.” He sighs, deeply. “I’m the bad guy. Always going to be the bad guy. I get it. I accept that role. I do the best I can.”
