I was going to say he needs to thicken his moustache if he wants to look like a proper Yakuza, but now I will never un-see that.

Dana White never really ran UFC ever. Dana is more the face of the operation, doing a bit of the match making and contract negations. But whenever they were having trouble with signing a fighter, Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta would step in and make the deals happen, this was before the Endeavor purchase. Now Hunter Campbell probably does most of the important stuff.

Dana has always been more of a public spokesperson for the company. Like a mascot.

AFAIK they haven't said anything specifically about Dana White's role going forward and neither has he. One has to presume that he'll still be running the UFC with general impunity, though. Technically, yes, Vince is Dana's boss. That is 100% certain assuming Dana White is still going to be the guy running the UFC.

Can nothing kill Vince McMahon? How did he come back from stealing company money to pay hush money to his sexual abuse victims? :psyduck:

Most companies only pretend to care about domestic violence. But all companies care about having their poo poo stolen.

as i understand it, vince left in shame and then realized he had enough shares to do whatever he wanted with the company. then did whatever he wanted with the company giving nary a gently caress about being known as a piece of poo poo carny because he's in the piece of poo poo carny business

So with a boss like this we can only expect Dana's stock to rise until his heart explodes in 2024

cool, thanks goons

I used to cue up a bunch of cool fights from the main card fighters if people weren't interested in the preliminary fights and I'd go back and watch them later.

Might be an idea if your friends want to start pre drinking but aren't keen on the early stuff. Plenty of cool fights with masvidal and adesenya to chuck on instead.

oh, and just a fun blast from the past, back in the ufc 200 thread jerusalem posted this:

quote:

The most bizarre What If is that apparently Vince McMahon's son actually recommended they buy UFC at some point way back in the past and Vince rejected the idea. I mean, he probably would have completely hosed it up and not a single person would have believed the fights had any integrity but it's still a fun thing to think about what might have been.

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.

You can ban anime and anime moves, but the commissions will still refuse to address the issue of MVP trapping other fighters in poke-balls.
