Video: Dana White Apologizes to the Gays
After being called out by GLAAD for his use of the word "faggot" in his rage-filled pre-"Condit vs. Kampmann" rant, Dana White has stepped up with a formal-ish apology (see above), which leads into the fight-night edition of the Danavlog. As soon as he starts with the phrase "anybody who knows me," it's clear that this might not be the most satisfying mea culpa. But he gives it his best shot, saying he'd never maliciously attack somebody who wasn't attacking him, and "the last thing that I would ever want anybody to think about me or think is cool is to go out and attack somebody because of their sexual orientation." So, whatever; we'll see if that smoothes things over. It's worth noting that he doesn't include any apology for calling Loretta Hunt a "fuckin' dumb bitch," though as Kevin Iole points out, it was her own damn fault for getting called a dumb bitch in the first place. Yeesh, talk about blaming the victim.
After the apology, Dana checks in with the event's fighters and has his requisite dick-punching session with Tiki Ghosn and Rampage. "What the fuck am I going to do with you two," Dana says at the 8:21 mark. "What are you gonna do with these two retards?" Expect an apology to the Special Needs Alliance to come early next week.
UPDATE, from f4wonline.com/Dave Meltzer:
Meltzer doesn't cite any sources, and he's misinformed on a regular basis, so treat this as a rumor.

Honestly the one group out of those three that probably even watches the vlogs are the retards.
johnnycobrakai Says:
Michael Scott: You don't call retarded people retards. It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they are acting retarded.
Antisthenes Says:
WTF CagePotato?!
Quit being advertisement whores and only showing 4 posts before we have to click to the next page. Quit trying to bump your page views.
This is only pissing off your viewers and pushing towards other sites that dont have us clicking after just four measley posts.
Little Dan Says:
First of all someone named Cool needs to stop the stupid shit. Ok you know how to mess around with font on a comment page big fucking deal. Secondly if that's true that would suck. I thought the video blogs were great and a good way to get hyped for the fight.
Anonymous Says:
Honestly, I didn't feel like Dana had to apologize. He just needs to shut up and calm down every now and then, especially when he's feeling offended. He can still be himself, just not swear as much.
cin Says:
Dana is retardly cool let the bitch ass bastard say any fucking thing he wants...
Nice lie to CB at the end of vlog Dana...Carlos got robbed twice last night once in the desicion and again in the fight of the night voting.
Curtis Sample Says:
heyyyyy guyssss... i wasn't first boo hoo....but im still hungry for that hairy b-hole...who wants a rimmer from the biggest clown to ever post on this site??
Dana Mother F$%king White Says:
Dana can't deal with criticism, that is his biggest problem. He attracts a lot of it, and his personality reacts to it with bile. He needs to learn how to ignore it.
C-Bus Allstar Says:
I think all the fags and dykes and retards need to stop being so fucking sensitive. If you don't like being called a fag, stop sucking cock on the weekends. If you don't like being called a dyke, stop eating twat on the weekends. If you're a retard, and you get offended when someone calls you a retard, then STOP FAKING IT, YOU'RE NOT RETARDED, YOU'RE JUST AN ATTENTION WHORE. REAL RETARDS DON'T KNOW THEY'RE RETARDED!
M.J.S. Says:
I think he should have sex with a man just to prove he's sincere. =p STFU Dana! Leave it to a guy with a chick name to call other people h0m0s! Dick!
M.J.S. Says:
Maybe his next Danablog or whatever will only be the sound of him gurgling! All you'll see is the back of his head bouncing back and forth. Then pan up to the Other two owners smiling and smoking a cigarette. Dick!
Doof Says:
I like how Iole attempts a critique without even bothering to read Hunt's article:
"Clearly, she should never have written a story such as she did without having one source on the record."
There was ONE anonymous source--which he, as a journalist, should know happens all the time. Otherwise, her article named sources galore--Pavia, Cox, etc.
Poopiestick Says:
Is it me, or is Tiki a complete assclown who hasn't had a fight. It appears he's wormed his way on some of these things by cradling Rampages ball-sack, but I don't think anybody likes him and I don't see him getting any fights in the UFC by doing shit like that to the obvious control freak, Dana White.
Armbreaker Says:
Dana did not owe anyone an apology for his comments. I am disappointed that he wimped out.
M.J.S. Says:
Its fine if you want to hang with your boys on the corner....or with the guys you work with at KFC! But when you run a fn multi million dollar company...you dont offend people who buy your product! Or...the people whos company's sponsor your events....who's customers in turn may be fn gay or whatever! Ya wanna make $10 an hour? Then say wtf you want when you want where you want. Want to make millions of $$$?!?!? STFU! Thats the point! Dick!
M.J.S. Says:
Your not to brite!
Andre's Pee Pee Says:
Dana should be able to say what he wants. Fuch a bunch of dick lickers that hates hearing they are dick lickers but still love licking dicks. That is the most foules thing a man has come up with to date. Only things worse would be eating or playing with doo doo, drinking pee, sperm, etc or fucking an animal. I am talking to you TUF Guy on all accounts. Sticking your wang in another guys hairy shit hole is F'd UP. For the love of God man.
I have to agree with Dana almost every time he speaks. Fuck all those people.
And about the retards comment, It is just a word. It's not a freaking lawn dart he threw at them. So stop whining. Bunch of pansies we have become.
And as far as johnnycobrakai post above, Michael Scott is who Americans should model their lifes from. This world would be such a better place.
Wildcard Says:
I agree the word "retard" is only an insult word, it has no offensive meaning to it like the N word, or any racist words. I mean Goddamn Special Needs Alliance your all just a bunch of dipshits, who claim you defend special needs kids, but will protest against such use of the word retard to get money out of their families. (Remember Tropic Thunder) I mean we already do enough by not laughing at retarted kids on tv and on the streets, cmon give society a fucking break.
M@TT Says:
I'm surprised he even attempted to apologize.
"Yeah, sorry queers. Didn't mean to offend."
Douchey McDoucherton Says:
Somewhere right now Lorretta Hunt is fucking a retard with a big smile on her face.
UFC fan Says:
Fuck a buncha retarded queer and lesbo's.
Dana you are pussy for apologizing.
Aaron Says:
@ wildcard
Yeah, retards are so stupid.
Hamma Fist Elbow Says:
This is typical, counter-productive PC bullshit, confusing not using naughty words with actual progress.
Anonymous Says:
did anyone here what they said about leben when dana was in the carlos condit locker room?
Meohfumado Says:
This is stupid. When you are pissed, and can't hit somebody, you use words as weapons. Cause you want the word to hurt them.
But you are directing the insult at a specific person...not a cross-section of humanity, and not making a general statement about other people who might at one point in their lives have been called that word.
Only person with a right to be offended is Hunt. Everybody else is just looking for attention.
I'll leave you with this: You can only be offended if you want to be.
Kaibo Says:
Please don't take away the fucking vlogs, i love that shit.
Koeikan Says:
Hmm, well CB asked Dana about FOTN at the very end and said yeah about the Condit fight...but then they gave it to Griffin.
Should have been the Kampmann/Condit fight IMO.
Imbecile Says:
Was it stupid for Dana to say some of the shit he said? Yeah... probably.
Was it stupid for Lorretta to write an unsupported story? Yeah.. probably.
Should either one have to lose their careers, or even take a step back because of it. Hell no!
Dana has built the UFC by being brash and saying whatever comes to his mind. Let him keep doing that, and just slow down with the language a bit. And what kind of PC crap is it that somehow calling a specific woman a bitch necessarily means that you are insulting all women? No, he was only insulting Lorretta. Not all women.
Imbecile Says:
Oh..... and insulting 'retards' and 'faggots'...... who really cares?
Machete for hands Says:
wow im impressed by how quick cole miller go that fucking sweet triangle on his training partner!!! =0
aweirdpoet Says:
Something tells me a certain bald lunatic is calling Dave Meltzer a faggot right now.
joemama6565 Says:
keep the video blogs coming dana, i love them and it keeps me excited for the fights to come.
Jay Says:
2:45 of that video is probably the quickest triangle choke I've ever seen. I know it's warm up but that transition is crazy.

Agreed.
This is America and we need to stop being a bunch of sensitive, offended sissies. As the Chopper once said, "Harden the fuck up!"

Well...talking sense has proven useless! So fuck all you retards and fags! How bout that?!?!?
