This is why i tell people not to take notice of Dana's comment about non-UFC fighters.......
This Kimbo thing is very good example, but also another good example is Arona situation. Here is Dana's comments about Arona few years ago
"“I don’t think I have been worried about Arona beating everybody. Didn’t Arona just loose? I think Arona just lost recently. There’s no reason I have been like: “Oh God Arona could beat everybody”, or… You know, if I thought Arona was gonna beat everybody he would be here right now”, said White, who already revealed who he’d like to face in a MMA fight. “I’d fight Arona first because I think he sucks"
http://www.mmaforreal.com/2009/4/16/839946/quoteworthy-dana-white-thinksI bet you anything, that in a few months when Arona get healthy and officaly announces his first UFC fight, we will get Dana saying, this guy is the real deal, Pride legend..... , can beat any top 205......
This his Dana style, blast anything thats not his, show zero respect to people outside UFC, I'm not saying he should wear a Fedor is p4p no.1 shirt or anything, but atleast show respect or say nothing if you have nothing good to say at all. Instead of looking like an idiot afterwards when you do sign them.
