(Dana White and the UFC’s Chief Financial Officer, Bobo, share a laugh over M-1′s contract demands.)
One of the things you have to like about Dana White is that when he gets in front of a national audience, he really steps up his trash talk game. When it’s just the MMA media, sure, he might recycle the same tired phrases and well-worn burns, but talking to ESPN’s Jim Rome today, he brought out some new material with regards to those M-1 Global jokers and their absurd demands during the UFC’s Fedor negotiations:
"Fedor’s not afraid to come over and fight or do any of that stuff. He’s got nutty managers. These guys are from Russia, coming to America trying to strong-arm us into some deal we won’t want to do. Go do that to the butcher down the street in Russia. It won’t work over here in the United States."
Please, tell me I’m not the only one who feels like launching into a U.S.A chant right now. So let’s see, instead of calling Fedor’s management a bunch of greedy, crazy Russians, they’ve now become "nutty" Russians who are trying to run some sort of MMA-themed protection racket. Nice little paradigm shift, DW. Just one more reason why it really sucks to be a Russian butcher.

Not only is Fedor's management Russian, they're JEW RUSSIANS!!!!

What's with Dana's silly Cold War rhetoric? Is it suddenly 1985 again? The only thing funny about his little "butcher down the street" joke was that he couldn't name an actual city in Russia, like Moscow or St. Petersburg. If White had the balls to tell it like it is, he would have accused Fedor's "Russian" manager, Vadim Finkelstein, of perpetuating the stereotype of the Jewish shyster.

Great observation, Walrus. Great.

Dana wants Fedor. He's going to say, and do whatever he can to pressure and make that happen.
Wed, 10/07/09 - 06:20
Hah! A clown! And some other guy named 'Charlie'.

Notice the beads around Charlie's neck? Yup, he had to flash baldy for 'em.

the funny thing about this is that fedor secretly doubles as a clown when he's not fighting.

Dana, watch out for that polonium 210!

this is from a guy who skipped out of Boston owing Whitey Bulger some "dues". Russians are nothing to worry about...

They made demands that are incompatible with the UFCs business-model and Dana calls that "strong arming"? I bet after Rampage fucked him over with TUF 10 and the A-Team movie, they found him naked under the shower, cradled up in a fetal position and between many deep sobs he whispered: "He raped me. After all I did for him, he raped me!"

A couple of nuts, one dick and we're the ones getting fucked.

You can get a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather to take his word for it?
Thu, 10/08/09 - 08:07
Dana said "It wont work over here in the United States."? But didn't it work with Strikeforce? Where are they from?

good call
