Cocky Fighter Starts To Dance, Immediately Gets KO’d By Kick

Dana White posted this clip, and didn’t even throw any shade at Bellator today over the Fedor vs Mitrione fight falling apart at the last minute. Since Fedor is the “great whale” that Dana was never able to sign, you’d almost expect him to drop one of his trademark “smiley faces”, but chances are he’s not too thrilled about the direction the UFC is going either. Historically, even though some guys got thrown under the bus, Dana generally seemed to reward loyalty to a degree and wanted good things for his fighters.




Except these days, everyone’s getting cut left and right, the LHW division has been absolutely culled, guys like Chuck Liddell and Matt Hughes lost their cushy desk jobs (Which were mostly token gigs, apparently, since there aren’t a lot of great career options for former prize fighters and so Dana paid them a great salary to hang out, do some events, etc). Forrest Griffin also got one of those jobs, but rumor has it he didn’t really realize it was more of a token “gift” position, and actually took it super seriously and works very hard, and got to stay with the company.
