Instead of “Fitchgate”, maybe we should call it “Fitch Revolving Door”. Ba-dum-chhh!

Sounds like maybe the UFC played a little “good cop bad cop” with Lorenzo and Dana. Either way I’m happy the fighters have someone else they can talk to if they’re not on a good rapport with Dana. Doesn’t sound like Fitch is going to want to have anything to do with him in the future.. can’t say I blame him.

I like Dana White, he speaks his mind, for the most part you know what you’re getting. But he handled this terribly, I think he takes some things way too personally and hopefully Fertitta will continue to be more involved with dealing with the fighters. It’s more work for him but I think there is a better chance that everyone will get what they want that way.

Dana has zero patience...

…it’s not his words, it’s his tone.

Professionalism?

Is what Fitch did with his tantrum, professional?

Tantrum?

Are you referring to people interviewing him recently?

Fitch doesn’t come off as a Tito, so I don’t get why White would be so aggressive up front (assuming Fitch’s description is accurate). I bet if he just kept it professional, this whole thing wouldn’t have happened.

Then again, there’s two sides to every story….
