I think the passion has been killed by obligations. He used to be so stoked back in the day when for example Liddell and Wandy met for the first time in the octagon, to see a fight.

Now it seems like every fight "Is the most anticipated fight ever" salesman BS instead of true passion. He always seems irritated by the media too. I guess I would too if I was being stalked by those vultures lol


At this point he has half a billion dollars and has been cageside for a few thousand fights. The man is personally responsible for the occurrence of half of the greatest fights in history, ofcourse he doesn’t believe the hype. The glory days are over and everyone who’s been here for as long as dana knows it.

The fact that we have someone who can even be judged for being untruthful rather than some rat fuck in a suit is a god damn blessing. Dana is a liar and an asshole but atleast he gives a fuck about mma, it makes up most of his personality and when he’s gone we’ll hearken to these days.

Just a bunch of nostalgia bullshit lol. The sport might not be growing at the rate it once was but everybody knew it couldn't rapidly grow forever. It's pretty well balanced out now and isn't anywhere close to dying. As legends fall, new faces pop up to replace them. For a lot of us, it might've been the "glory days" of mma for us as individuals, but doesn't mean the sport is going anywhere. When the time comes for Dana to step down, somebody will replace him.

I will agree with everything you said on Dana tho. It's hard to stay passionate about something this long. Guy truly put blood, sweat, and tears into this sport and the organization and is the main reason MMA is where it is today.

Hold up

So masvidal offered to step in and replace gunnar vs magny @ Ufc liverpool, but turned down till at the same event because he "wouldn't be ready" ?

When someone like masvidal is running scared you know the Till train is real

Not gunna disagree with that, but still, i think he's untested and that the thompson fight is going to tell us alot about his potnential.
