    MMA on Bill O'reilly in a minute.

    I have to see what he's gonna say about it. He's saying should it be outlawed or not?

    Well basically Bill O'reilly had his facts wrong and had MMA as a barbaric sport where people seemed to die all the time. Rich Franklin and Dana White were his guests. Franklin was calm and collective and had some great points. Dana White of course sounded like a fvckin moron and got combative. He's done great things for the UFC but I believe with him at the helm it can go no further. He is def no ambassador to the sport and does not have the saviness or charisma and is totally foul mouthed. Without professionalism he will only hold things back more.

    Damn.. i wish i saw that!
    You're completly right about Dana. He made UFC what it is today and brought MMA back into the light, but it still has a ways to go. The way he conducts himself now can only hurt the UFC and he can't give it the professionalism it needs to make it to the next tier.

    Dana doesnt rule the UFC without anyone else. if i remember correctly he is one of 3 people that bought the company when it was near bankrupt. He is the most vocal obviously. He's the mark cuban of MMA. I dont think thats such a bad thing. He loves the sport, loves the competition and is the UFC's biggest fan. Passion is something other sports need. I can appreciate that in him. Id rather have him then a Bud Selig type person at the helm.

    ya, i think he was an amatuer boxer. i'm fairly sure i was reading in his playboy interview that he was saying that he was on the verge of going professional, but couldn't cut it. then he started learning submissions from someone, and on and on.

    Dana white didnt buy the company....he actually doesnt own one red cent if I am not mistaken. The fertitta brothers were the ones who bought the UFC when it was near bankruptcy. The 3 of them grew up together and were friends for years. Before that Dana white was a bellboy at a hotel in Boston. I dont know if he was doing that right before the UFC but i'm sure that he was doing that shortly before.

    Mark Cuban is a self made billionaire who has already established himself as a prominent business man who made his own money. Dana White has really done neither. Regardless, basketball is already a well established sport. MMA is still in its infancy is is still very much fighting for legitimacy in this country. Only 3 states have actually had UFC venues in them. Thats pretty sad and it shows how much of an uphill battle it is to get it legalized nationally. When you have a person like dana white saying "I think you should fvckin make it legal cuz it's fvckin cool." Your not going to get pretty far and people will shut the door on him before anyone is willing to listen to what he has to say in the first place. He has largely discreditted himself. Cuban owns the dallas mavericks and everyone knows mark cuban isnt going anywhere and he needs the dallas mavericks as much as they need him. America does not need the UFC and since it is still a very minimally watched event the gov't can still outlaw it without much protest.
