Dana White has let MMA follow boxing straight down the tubes into the trash heap.
I was excited for several years and watched many shows, bought PPV ect, now i dont waste my time anymore, so many bad decision that stink of mob action like in boxing, sooooo many bad decisions that it stinks, sooooo much rampant performance enhancing drug use what could have been a long term replacement for boxing is now one or two scandals away from being knocked into the backseat.
Even the TUF show sucks now, nothing new nothing exciting, just a bunch of fighters buddies and trainers getting shots at the big show, nothing homegrown anymore.
Dana White doesnt have the balls to accept constructive criticism when it comes to the UFC and MMA in general, he is a business focused man who has lost touch with his fanbase totally, the sport is surrounded by drug addicts , cocaine use is rampant and all over the internet, wasted fighters embarrasing the sport every second day, its turned trashy and i wouldnt let me boys watch it now. I used to but not now.
Fighters like Anderson Silva who take the easy road, referees who stop fights when men like Silva land pepper punches with no power, fighters like the Diaz brothers who crap on the sport that provides them with a living constantly and then go out and throw pepper pinches like schoolyard kids, you know this is their way of thumbing their noses at the judges right? This is a cowardly way to ensure you dont lose decisions, by pepper punching guys 200 times and hoping for a cut or an easy cheap-arse stoppage because the opponent loses his balance and gets PEPPERED by 20 unanswered shots, for gods sakes the refs stop half the fight because of this cowardly tactic. These are fights guys are NOT winning, these are cheap sleazy decisions by refs that support this ***** style of fighting, i wouldnt give a Diaz brother a title shot if they were the last men standing because of this cheezy tactic they use and their crappy attitudes. Bid mouths and pepper punches. I dont need to be a UFC fighter to know what I am seeing, remember we got to watch the best in the world when the MMA scene burst open on the sporting scene, now its just watered down crap.
Remeber that after boxings sleazy affair with Don King and the fifteen years of crooked BS , fans were hungry for the MMA scene, but stupid managment decisions and a lack of future vision have already tarnished MMAs image to the fans, remember just one or two bad decisions by judges and we all start to relive boxings sleazy reality again and we are as quick to drop MMA as we all were to drop boxing, remember MMA became popular because there was a void DANA WHITE a void that existed because fans left boxing and didnt go back to a combat sport at all, soon people will follow my and my friends lead and abandon another sport that is getting sleazier by the year, cheaper by the show.
I dont think Dana White has the vision to have anticipated that his sport would have to answer for boxings wrongs, that the microscope would be set on high power from day one and that fans would be quick to abandon ship as soon as they felt like they were being ignored and crapped on like they were in boxing.
No pre-emptive strategys were put in place or even considered when MMAs growth was planned and initiated, this is what happens when leadership loses touch with the fanbase, when leadership is afraid to face reality and truth from a fans perspective either by choice or because there are minions below the leaders purposefully insulating them from the reality the sport is experiencing.
The UFC and MMA in general need a multi-million dollar investment in PR and it needs to be catalysed by fans not by some big PR company. Dana White needs to get back to the roots of the sport he has fostered and grown for so many years already. I have some great ideas maybe he needs to find me, ha ha ha. Heres one for starters---lets have a massive show like GSP vs the pepper puncher Silva, but for a twist we let everyone who buys a ticket or a PPV have one official vote in deciding the winner a bout decided in the arena and in cyberspace by the people who are paying for your ride, there are no commission rules concerning judging outcomes, just refereeing, we pay so we get to SAY. Hey Dana, do you have any guts left or has the money taken those as well as your pride?? Let the fans have their say after all they pay ALL of your salarys, you earn nothing without the fans and I havent seen such fan disrespect since boxing was in its heyday. jepper Dana should be really pissed off at my comments, should I be scared? Or should he be sending me a job offer for being critical but informative and helpfull, after all I am full of suggestions which catalyse my criticisms, i am not just being an arse and putting down the sport or its evolution.
MMA in general has hit a major hump, maybe the dollars are still rolling in but that can end as fast as it started, it is time for some curative therapy, where are you Dana White when your sport needs you the most? Not your business dummy, the sport that aloowed you to start this business you own and operate. They are tow different things and you have forgotten about that seperation and allowed everything to meld together , maybe it was your ego, maybe it was the natural evolution of MMA, whatever the case you need to step back, regroup and then STEP BACK UP AGAIN and lead this sport as you fought to earn the right to do for so many long years.
Oh yea, Dana if you are looking for me to offer me a job thats Moma2 you will need to be googleing ok? Any good secretary can find me in a few hours online.
