What is the average UFC fans opinion of Dana White?
I rarely watch the UFC, but have seen Dana White in a few things and I wonder how he’s seen by a real fan?

I have a deep respect for what he did for the sport, and I don’t hate him by any means but he’s certainly not my favorite person. There’s far worse people in the world tho

Yeah, he’s like the face of it and seems to be a big (if not the) reason why the sport is where it is now.

In the past he and the ferritas brother help build up MMA as big as today. But rn Danawhite and the whole UFC board are a bunch of scumbag who exploiting fighter who risk their health and life for entertainment
1
I can certainly see that point with him

Dana White is a genius and truly made this sport what it is. He is basically to MMA what Vince McMahon is to Pro-Wrestling.

Vince revived a basically dead form of entertainment and elevated it to be 1000 x bigger then it ever was but pro wrestling was an established form of entertainment well before vince was ever in the picture.
Dana revived a dead form of entertainment that basically died as a seedling and made it 1000x then it ever was.
they both were gifted a lot of it, as Vince inherited the company from his dad and Dana was basically given the company by his rich friends.
This is a very good comparison in all stretches, its really hard to tell whos success is more impresive.
Vince had a more well known product with already a decent fan base and Dana had a better product in the fact that its real but with a fan base viewed as scum and brought it to the world stage.

I didn’t know how he “got” the UFC? He didn’t buy it?
1
That’s the overall impression I was getting. Aside from the personal stuff that seems like what he is.

The best answer.
1
Lol best answer
1
this is gold
1
I think most people think he doesn’t pay the fighters enough but still like him, he’s a great fight promoter
1
Yeah, I watched this one video that came up all the time at the press conferences. Pay and he seems pretty clear in not giving a fuck what others think about pay
1
Greedy juiced up tomato
1
Lol nice
1
I like Dana. i couldn’t care less about others peoples money situations.
1
When you say that you mean about the pay the fighters get?
1
Yes
1
Great Businessesman. Terrible human being.
1
Seems about right. I saw the clip of him hitting his wife…
1
This
1
insanely lucky, an excellent promoter in comparison to every boxing promoter ever, terribly greedy and his gambling problem coupled with the wife controversy as well as the failed venture of powerslap makes me feel like he should be replaced but as soon as he is gone the situation will probably be a lot fairer for the fighters and investors want to delay that.
1
Is the wife controversy him hitting her?
1
them hitting each other to be fair. but its just not a good look for a company trying to fight a bad image to begin with.
1
I can agree. Not a good look

DANA, WE KNOW THIS IS YOU! (and we love you, baby 💋)

A lot of times we expect opinions of people to binary, either they're good or they're bad. Dana has done incredible things for MMA and has done many charitable acts for people over the years. He can also be a narcissistic, hypocritical, petty, and selfish fuck.
I could be wrong but it seems like he's gotten worse recently with his level of greed. Fighter pay is a real issue
1
Last few sentences are common itt. Charity to people he knows?
1
He's the mastermind behind Powerslap and he's coming for all the streamers, watch out!
His 23&me results also confirmed he's part potato

Great guy never meddum

I feel like the vast majority of real fans do not like him at this point.
Just because of greed and stuff like that?
The main thing is that he barely fights anymore. And then he spends all his time on twitter talking shit to other fighters. And then you have the steroids and the criminal activities.
If he just fought and won everyone would love him though

He boxed right? The criminal stuff?
