Dana White Saves Relationship on Dr. Phil

Eddie wants to fight in the UFC, his wife says No:
There are a lot of misconceptions about the Ultimate Fighting Championship, true?" Dr. Phil asks Dana.

"There are. There's never been a death or serious injury in the 12-year history of the UFC," says Dana. "But on the other hand, she makes a good point. The UFC is the gold standard for the sport. We have the proper medical testing, the doctors are there on site, we're sanctioned by all the major athletic commissions in this country. The sport is absolutely safe. Are there risks? Absolutely, it's a contact sport. But I would make sure that I fought in a sanctioned event that was overseen by an athletic commission in whatever state he chooses to fight in."




Dr. Phil recommends Stacey and Eddie appreciate each other for who they are and learn to negotiate. "These differences are good. The mistake you've made is you've thrown down the ultimatums. Re-open the dialogue and talk about this. See if you can find some middle ground."
