The Top 8 Reasons To Love Dana White/Zuffa

For some odd reason the “in” thing to do is to hate anything UFC related by a select group of MMA fans. It doesn’t matter what the UFC does or how impactful…they will all but wish death upon the organization…regardless of how retarded that is. Surely there are some negatives to point outabout the company and the man Dana White. However, I think it’s pretty clear these two entities have done more good for the sport of MMA than bad. So the day after Zuffa/Dana White delivered with Randy Couture coming back to finish what he started…let’s check off the top 8 reasons why we should love Zuffa/Dana White:

8. They Give Unheard Of Fighters A Chance- How many times have you seen a UFC MMA card and think to yourself….”Who The Hell Is This Dude?” Yep, the best MMA organization in the world gives opportunities to fighters you’ve never heard of. While they may not compensate them that well, if that fighter delivers with an exciting fight…the word is they are taken care of.

7. They Listen To The fans- Whether Dana White admits it or not…they listen to the fans…when the fans grumbled about TUF becoming stale with less fights…what happened? This last season of TUF provided way more fights than in the past. When the east coast fans complained about not getting any shows(I was one of them)..what happens? UFC 68/74 in Ohio, UFC 77 in Ohio, UFC 78 in Jersey, UFC 88 will be in Atlanta, and several UFC events have taken place in Florida.

6. The WEC- Great company that houses some of the best light weight fighters in the world…every show is action packed and the shows are produced very well…and guess what…they are FREE(for now anyways).

Very nice write up.

Dana is a very polarizing figure and demands a viewpoint on him/his actions. While he sometimes makes me cringe, I am mature enough to realize that many of the things he says, are said in order to position his company in an advantageous way.

While I try not to give him to much credit, he certainly deserves more than most internet fans give him. Whenever I have a conversation about him, it never fails the other person bashes him or voices their distaste with him. My reaction is usually the same, yeah, you may not like his way of doing things, but I would sure want him running my company.

Great write-up.

Well worth the read.

There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

8. They Give Unheard Of Fighters A Chance

how many times has dana given an Aussie fighter a go on the big stage? PLENTY.
after perosh i thought he’d never come back to us… but he came back for more by giving a chance to morris.
and that is why every MMA fan in Australia loves the UFC/dana white. he supports us so we’ll support him.
