10 Legendary MMA Fighters You've Probably Never Heard Of

Dana White Calls Elite XC Disgusting, Thiago Alves Talks Strategy For UFC 85


Dana White Calls Elite XC A Travesty – Watch more free videos
(Props: Fightlinker)

Sports talk radio personality Dave Carmichael spoke with UFC President Dana White at the WEC event in Sacramento on Sunday, and naturally the discussion turned to Elite XC. We all know White is no fan of what Gary Shaw and Co. have been doing, but just in case you were unclear he clarifies it with words like “disgusting.”

Speaking positively about competitors has never really been White’s style, but he does make a good point when he says that even in the UFC’s darkest days they never “went the freak show route.” Pride certainly couldn’t say as much. It is stretching it a bit to imply that Kimbo Slice-James Thompson was a freak show, however. For starters, which one of them is the freak? Nevermind, don’t answer that.

After the jump Thiago Alves discusses his gameplan for Matt Hughes on Saturday. If it involves somehow infringing on Hughes’s second amendment rights, he is going to be sorry. But wait a minute, this fight is in England. Don’t go, Matt! It’s a trap!!!!

Dana nailed this one, "Disgusting" is probably the best word in the English vocabulary to describe watching Thompson's ear explode like an over-ripe zit, and then seeing the poor bastard stand there with a piece of chewed fat hanging off the side of his head. At least now we've seen how Kimbo performs against a fighter not over 40 and with at least a shred of talent. If he needs a W bad enough I hear Ken Shamrock has plenty of spare time on his hands.

"If Gary Shaw's stomach holds Quato, what mutant was in James Thompson's ear?"

The alien that pops out of the guys stomach after eating the chili in "Spaceballs"?

If you don't like Dana White's attitude - fine! I can be okay with that. But the people who don't recognize what he has done for this sport are idiots. The UFC has done more for this sport than anyone. They put on great fights on both PPV and Spike, and they spend tens of millions to expand the sport. They lobby states and governments to legalize and sanction MMA, they spend truickloads of money to take the sport to new regions and countries, and whatever anyone says, they also have done more to increase fighter pay and bonuses than anyone else.

...and they don't have freak show fights, where Dana White is clearly cheering for one of the freaks to win.

I will give credit to Dana White. He does come across as pompus at times but he has worked his ass off to set the bar for MMA talent. No matter what people think about how commercial or blown up UFC has gotten. Its still classy, has the best fighters and in my opinion is worth the pay per view most times. Id much rather watch UFC on pay per view just to avoid all those god damned commercials and glitzy bullshit that doesnt belong in MMA in the first place.

Kimbo would not survive one minute in the UFC. The XC show proved that UFC fighters are in alot better shape. Kimbo could hardly hold his arms up in the second round. Lets see what he can do against "the natural"

People can and do hate Dana, but he has set the standard that everyone else is measured to. Tracksuit Gary (so far) has come across like the guy standing on the street corner with the "will work for lots of food" sign as Dana drives by in his Ferrari......

Gato, the freakshow was the rapper singing is way down the walk way, the dancing girls and the horrific kimbo fight.

We dont need rappers in MMA, we don't need dancings girls shaking their asses on the walk way and we really dont need paid off refs to call a fight that shouldn't have been called.

Dana might not say it, but I will, Elite XC has set the MMA world back 10 years.

What was the freakshow comment about? Was it the Kimbo - Thompson fight?

I sure do love inhaling the fine aroma of my favorite mma stars jockstaps after several days of sweaty training. Don't forget to check out my other new book, "Nuthugger: The Autobiography Of Poopypants"

God I hate Dana.. simply because he has more money than me.

Also "poopypants" I am starting a new thing called "Gay Points" and you just scored 1,000 of them (a new High Score by the way) with your creation of "Cool Points". Fag.

Don't sweat it, Fowlkes. I've got a horrible case of cauliflower face. It sort of looks like a big, red catcher's mitt with eyes.

In all honesty, I do have a touch of the cauliflower ear. It just sort of stopped developing at some point, which i was perfectly fine with. Occasionally I go for a haircut and the woman will touch the hardened portion of my ear on accident and the look on her face, well, it's just priceless.

Well, Mr. Fowlkes, you've just earned a cameo in chapter 3, entitled "Is cauliflower ear overrated - cause I ain't got none". Classic indeed. Love the site. Keep it up. Yeah, we'll get a room, assholes.
