Dana White Goes Off

Dana White has a history of being an extremely aggressive personality, having been an MMA fight manager prior to his ascension to the top of the MMA World and currently in his role as a fierce executive of the world’s most valuable MMA league. Dana White’s history is one that shows persistence and hard work can get you places in this country. While working as a fight manager White discovered that the parent company of the UFC was looking for a buyer for the league. White proceeded to contact childhood friend Lorenzo Fertitta, a casino executive and within a month, Lorenzo and his older brother Frank bought the UFC and named White as its president (White currently owns 10% of Zuffa, LLC, the company that owns the UFC).

Recently, White put out a YouTube tirade that has the MMA industry buzzing. White took offense to an article written about the UFC’s credentialing process by MMA journalist Loretta Hunt (Sherdog.com). There is not much to explain that watching the video clip below doesn’t do so I will let the video speak (watch starting at 4:30). I will comment though that the fact that a President of a company can feel justified that he has the right or power to act so unprofessionally is amusing to us. Imagine if Bill Gates went off on one of the TechCrunch.com writers like this because they criticized his latest version of Windows. Comical.
