UFC Hall of Famer Dan Severn on Dana White

Here's Dan Severn on the current UFC:

PC: You are in the UFC Hall of Fame. Did you ever try to get a position over there?

DS: No. It has changed. The game has changed and the company has changed. The UFC is coming under more scrutiny all of the time. It's not the same product that it once was. I do a lot of things with mixed martial arts. I work with a lot of other companies. I do have a passion for the sport and I would like to have a positive influence in the direction of the sport because the bottom line is, you're taking care of an athlete. I really don't see that happening with a Dana White at the helm of the UFC. I think they've done a lot of good things for the sport, but at the same token, they have a cocky, conceded arrogance that is coming about them and I don't care for it. It's changed and I don't know who the leadership comes from. From what I know, they have the two brothers, the Fertitta brothers, that own basically 90% of the UFC and Dana White owns the other 10%, but Dana White is kind of the face of the UFC and seems like he is the one making the most comments about everything that's going on. He may not be the best person that should be out there articulating his opinions. If he is, they may want to bring somebody in there to groom him a little more and help him on his presentation skills. I politically danced around that one a little bit (laughing).

Lorenzo Fertitta knows what he his
Fertitta, the greasy conman he is, takes blaf off his hand and puts him in the closest. He takes him out of the closest for press conferences. The dummy "says" audacious things, and the puppeteer stands there feigning decency.

Fertitta knows the dummy draws a certain kind of audience. He's not going to replace him just yet. Sometime, though, Lorenzo Fertitta should ask himself why the mafia could never fully join the wasps. It's because they keep screw-ups around, it's their family loyalty to screw-ups. Fredo-Corleones are supposed to be the bait; you're not supposed to let screw-ups like "blaf the puppet" near the gold.
