Sounds like the magazine might be a regular thing… http://twitter.com/danawhiteblog

Is it just me, or is Dana putting himself on the cover of the first issue a little…retarded?

not only that

but acting like a fighter

Yea, that was pretty bad....

It’s fine to have Dana on the 1st cover, but to have him on there throwing a punch is kinda, well stupid.

It’d be like having Brock Lesnar or GSP with a suit on at a board room table.

I think Dana on the cover epitomizes his level of megalomania/egomania. He should be ripped for it, but he won’t.

Yeah, that’s a bit much even for me.

In fairness

If you were Dana White you’d probably have a boner for yourself as well.

I like how it says EXCLUSIVE! and then underneath it says Dana White.

Also it looks like his facial hair is photoshopped.

Advice from Rachelle Leah? Ok, now I have to get the magazine…

That pic was their 2nd choice

But they couldn’t get permission from Tom Attencio to use this one:

Well it sure didn’t take long for the bitching to start about Dana being on the cover how dare he? smh.

by Raker on Jun 24, 2009 11:54 PM EDT reply actions

I like having Dana on the front throwin punches. It’s like, “hey Look at me, I am the president of the UFC, want a piece of me?”.

by Bandaka on Jun 25, 2009 12:09 AM EDT reply actions

Tom Atencio says yes……then Dana says no.

I tried subscribing on UFC.com, but couldn’t find anything there. Newsstands charge way too much money.

You would pay money for print media? Weird…

Until they come out with a laptop you can comfortably use while taking a dump there will always be a need for print media.

It’s only fitting that the UFC’s biggest star is on the cover, instead of, you know, a fucking fighter.

by Chromium on Jun 25, 2009 5:01 AM EDT reply actions

If you think about it, who could they put on there to represent the UFC? Choosing any one fighter shows bias and would probably alienate some of their roster.

A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

by iiowyn on Jun 25, 2009 9:33 AM EDT up reply actions

How about showing many fighters then?

GSP and Brock could have worked. =)

So you wanna be on the fucking cover?

If Dana is going to put himself on the cover pretending to be a fighter, he better not call Atencio a loser for calling him out.

“He talks like a fighter, so why doesn’t he fight? I’m stepping up to the plate. And win, lose or draw. I attempted it. I don’t ever think [White] would fight.” – Tom Atencio.

Makes sense to me and I’m a Dana White fan.

by cauliflower_ears on Jun 25, 2009 8:02 AM EDT reply actions

Dana White has fought before, he was an amateur boxer. However he chooses to do his job for his company rather than fritter about doing frivolous things while his company is in trouble.

A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

Better cover candidates:

Anderson Silva
GSP
Rampage Jackson (Extreme closeup)
Stephen Bonnar & Forrest Griffin in suits, one with a green tie & the other with a blue tie.
Frank Mur & Brock Lesnar
Any or all of the HOFers

Basically, I would’ve put the first cover fighter(s) in suits to present the sport as classy and not start with the promoter in a t-shirt.

by JAYGK95 on Jun 25, 2009 9:29 AM EDT reply actions

Choosing any of those would alienate the rest.

You don’t think the super high salaries of some fighters doesn’t alienate guys more than a cover photo?

by monkeyfightclub! on Jun 25, 2009 10:29 AM EDT up reply actions

Alienate them enough to want to fight?

heheheh, I kid, but really, what’re you talking about? No fighter will ever be on the cover of this mag because it would make other fighters jealous? Or the first issue?

And, as a side note, just take a medium shot of each champ standing together. Boom. Iconic picture of UFC today.

Or a collage of fighters in great fights.

Nice for the TOC or first page of an article

The collage generally has too many elements to work against, like trade dress and what’s inside headers, logos, etc. In a group portrait the photographer COUGHALLELBOWSCOUGH can compose them from the get-go with a strong composition that’ll maximize the space on the cover..

But I think a collage done by the photographer, where they can choose good faces and silhouettes could work. I would love to see something like the last DREAM poster in that vein, but it seems rare on American newsstands.

OH SNAP! the more I think about yer idea, the more I like the idea of nothing on the cover but the fight shots. That could be memorable, but the UFC’s art dept. would prolly ruin it. Cough. :)

by asa on Jun 25, 2009 4:19 PM EDT up reply actions

i like the suit idea. to bad bonnar isnt doin better cause that would be cool. maybe if it came out 3 years ago.

That was a real kick and good for laughs and lashings of the old ultraviolent.

by mistake4 on Jun 25, 2009 10:24 AM EDT up reply actions

I can not find this anywhere!

I’m going to try borders down the street during lunch, but the newstand around the corner didn’t have it and neither did Barnes & Noble. Anyone else having a hard time finding it?

I'm the kind of girl who loves to watch a GOOD fight!
