Media Dana twists facts to make an injured fighter look bad

[Deleted member 512089]

- TUF kid has an MCL injury, doctor tells him if he fights it can gets worse so he can't decide for him and leaves him the final say
- Dana goes in front of both team and says "the doctor cleared him to fight he chose not to fight" and then on camera "i always say if you're not willing to do everything you don't belong here"

It's like it gets under his skin that people make smart career decisions and aren't his replaceable Playmobil toys

Are there any rules stopping the guy suing Dana? Can imagine the contracts they have to sign give them no rights.

I don't see a problem here. Dana tells exactly how it went. The doctor told him to make a decision, and he refused to fight. No hard feelings, sometimes the things don't work out. Fighters are expendable, always have been, in any combat sport, and if you're a promoter - the show must go on, always.

If the doctor leaves the decision up to the fighter to fight or not....the doctor cleared him to fight.

A sprain? No.

A sprain? No.

I would probably refuse to fight with anything wrong regarding a knee, but that's why I post crap on Sherdog instead of being a MW champ. It is what it is, and Dana gets too much crap around here sometimes.

I can see both sides to it. The doctor isn't going to say "No it's impossible to make an injury worse" The question could have been asked better to get a more clearer response. The doctor gave him the only response he could, and that would go for pretty much any injury you bring to them.

Dana would fight with two broken legs for 10/10 he’s such a bad ass.

Dana said the doctor gave him the clearence to fight. The doctor didn't do that. The doc made it clear that he's not giving him the green light.
Just rewatch the video.

All that glitters isn't gold.

Dana nutthuggers can't. I guess their dream was to treat people like garbage like he does but they can't hence why they live vicariously trough him

That waist is the most Photoshopped thing i've ever seen

Don't know the specific guy so I can't tell for sure but, in general, I totally agree. I have seen some who are exactly as you described them.

 

[DizzyYeahYeah]

Dana loves fighters that quit their job to try and get a fight with the UFC? Lmao.

 

[Karelinator]

That waist is the lost Photoshopped thing i've ever seen

Doesn't even have to be photoshoped, just magic of the angles and photography in general, lol.

Suck in the gut like motherfucker, but hide it under black shirt, stay bladed at the angle that makes him look narrow, and pump his bicep straight into the camera.

Arm was probably way closer to the lenses than anything else, and it dwarfs his torso.

He did the same fucking thing to Frankie Edgar. RDA dropped out of the Conor fight, they're making calls to get a replacement, Frankie is just out of surgery so he can't take it. Then when Nate takes the fight, Dana does press saying "so many guys refused this fight, Aldo, Frankie Edgar, etc", making it seem like Edgar turned the fight down because he was scared of Conor. Frankie Edgar, a guy who has given his all to the UFC.

Typical Dana - once you can't do exactly what he wants when he wants you to do it, you're the biggest piece of shit on planet earth.

Five years ago I went for a jog with my dog (a big boxer), and at one point he decided to chase a fucking squirrel and cut me from one side, and in a split of a second I was on the floor with my left knee busted.
Did everything, followed treatment and therapy, and even today, five years later, my fucking knee is still not the same. No more football, no more rugby, and since then i concentrated on my road biking (ok, I'm not spring chicken anymore...).
I can´t imagine what it is for a fighter.
Dana is human trash.
