Where is Dana White?

With the exception of one triggered reporter who demanded to see Dana's medical license, the guy gets pitched softies by the media during press conferences. He's happy to go up there and talk about all the great records that the company is shattering, but when it's time to talk about a jumbled HW picture and contract situation following a dud card that kicked off the PPV price increase, how about sacking up.

Surprised Jake Paul isn't teeing off more. He's got a ton of ammo.
 
He probably left because he didn't want to watch the shit fight anymore...

First the Jake Paul Twitter loss. Then Ngannou.

Tough month for Pink Goof.

Probably went to the casino and added another $1M to his already $500+M. Might even have had some hot female company.

He’ll blow it off and deal with it on Monday. I think he probably cares a lot less than many of you believe. He just blew off a presser that was going to suck. If I was him, I’d rather do the casino, hot companion route too.

People are just really jealous that he has that option.

Even though he probably can do all that, it isn't the reason he wasn't at the press conference and didn't put the belt on Ngannou. Because all other events he does that unless there is some kind of issue going on. Ngannou stood his ground and gambled on his career and he ended up winning. So Ngannou has all the leverage now and it most likely pissed off Dana. He wants to discuss the issues privately and not put anymore attention to it in the media. So in a way it's smart that Dana didn't do the press conference because he knows the questions would be asked about Ngannou's future and he doesn't have the answers for that. He should've still put the belt on him though and kept it professional. Deal with the negotiation issues later.

Also he isn't bummed out about the Moreno and Fig fight because he knows it opens it up for one more fight for them since they are even. I really wouldn't be surprised with another instant rematch for the final fight between them.
 
Butt hurt the "prospect" he had everyone conned into thinking was the future GOAT got flushed down the toilet. He hates Francis because he doesn't want to fight for free and Francis is still the best HW and he is talking about leaving. Dana is probably punching holes in drywall while yelling profanities.
 
He is on sherdog laughing at peoples crying about fighter pay

This.

Dana is managing hundreds of fighters and Frank is just one.

Dude wants to go box now, ok then HW division moves on. They moved on when Brock went back to wrestling and he was bringing in a lot more than Frank, so I’m sure they’ll manage again.

I think you care way more about it than he does. I think his attitude is more or less..

Well that kind of sucked. Now instead of listening to stupid questions from clowns right now. I think I’ll hop on my private jet and be back in Vegas in an hour. I’ll deal with this shit in a few days.

Don’t tell me you’d do any different if you had that power? The problem for most of you is he HAS that power. You NEVER will. Good for him. He worked hard for what he has. Why should I hate him for that?? Just because I’m a fan of some pro athlete? I don’t think so.

Dana is not the most upstanding person in the world. I’m so shocked.

Dana’s ego is just outta control. Yes, he’s a legendary builder of the MMA landscape and crucial to the overall building of the UFC into a multi-billion dollar company.

But cmon man, it’s not 2005 anymore. You can’t keep trashing your champions and devaluing the veterans on the roster by signing these 10k pretender series chumps to fill up the cards.

You sure about that?

Or do you mean, like, morally or ethically?
 
Make no mistake about it - the fighter pay topic is going to be a HUGE one going forward and Dana is having an aneurysm over it.

Or somebody that realizes how the real world works. As opposed to somebody that only dreams they wish they had money and power? Does your boss at McDonald’s give you shit when you go into daydream mode and burn a batch of burgers?
 
I can't remember Dana skipping out on a press conference for a PPV like that before. Ngannou's win was potentially big for fighter pay going forward (depending how it plays out). Dana knows this and can't handle the heat.
