Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.
I don’t think Brendan Schaub can do Dana’s job. Dana is paid to be criticized all day, Brendan is a delicate baby and would get really mad all day if he had Dana’s job.

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



To be fair Dana White also seems to be really mad all day due to that aspect of his job.

Fair, but I don’t think Schaub can really withstand that type of constant antagonism.

And yet that statement was the most effective offense of Schaub's career.

If it is Rousey:

1) I guarantee Schaub thinks he's check-mated Dana
2) I hope Dana buries Schaub in the desert

One imagines that the threat is that schaub has evidence of whites adultery and/or sex with employees. Except hes already put those cards on the table so how does he do more damage unless they both hosed someone really stupid

I'm pretty sure the Fertitta's did most of the leg work and I'm also fairly sure Dana doesn't run the accounting for the UFC. He's a figure head.

I obtain sexual gratification from observing people being inflicted with violent head injuries
I'm very much enjoying this drama. I hope Dana didn't gently caress Ronda, that would be skeezy on a whole other level.

Brendan deleted it all.

Yeah I mean two blockheads getting each other angry is really just funny more than anything. I'm not going to get drawn into a strong opinion about it, just that the weaker or stranger the insults get, the better.

E. Although thinking about it now, airing dirty laundry just to try to own your ex-boss is real flagrant although I will still laugh at it

dana brought hte fertittas the opportunity to invest in the ufc and hes much more than a figurehead. what does accounting have to do with it? he runs things at a way higher level than an accountant and the CFO answers to him

i totally agree with you tho that the fertittas were just as important or maybe even more so than dana. but they were partners and it was mutually beneficial

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

this entire thing revoles around believing Lorenzo was the reason UFC was UFC and not Joe Silva, but at least it correctly identifies Dana as being a useless gently caress

agreed, i think the personalities played a huge role in how the structured zuffa. the fertittas needed dana to be dana, and a way to manage/mitigate any reprecussions from dana being dana. uncle frank and lorenzo were always there to step in if needed as actual c-layer execs, but got to avoid a lot of other bullshit thanks to dana being dana. they definitely needed each other

Another funny element to this is that Brandon just went through a series of YouTube video slap fights with Chael Sonnen.

Also lol that he took a screenshot of a Notes file so he could tweet it.

The UFC could not have gotten to where they were pre-sale if it weren’t for Dana being the polarizing figurehead that could deflect criticism away from the Fertittas.

Like that whole thing where they fired all of AKA over video games likeness rights - the UFC ultimately prevailed at the end there and I don’t think it would’ve happened if Dana weren’t able to make the whole thing about him vs AKA.

Joe Silva does own. If you didn't know, he's the one who tracked down Joanna Champion and offered her a UFC contract. She wasn't on anyone else's radar, but he knew. Because he's a giant nerd.

Brendan Schaub couldn't do his own job.

Dana White serves as a fantastic lightening rod that the fans can hate for callous business decisions while still liking the UFC as a whole. He's the character Vince McMahon is playing.

I once tweeted at Cerrone and Evan Dunham that they should fight, and it was booked like two days later. Then, the same thing happened for Lawler and Condit. I deleted my account after that. I don't want that kind of power.
