None of them have a single good question.
Absolutely.
1) How did you like it here (and other Saudi Arabia questions)?
2) How did you like how (insert fight) turned out?
3) When will Conor come back? (and more Conor questions).
All garbage question.
They're there to give daddy dana pure underhand pitches.
good question get you ban

These “reporters” ask the most stupidest questions ever.
Agreed, the questions here are terrible
Dana’s such a pro at these press conferences, he could be a politician
He is a politician at this point 😂
@@iceKOIdTruly not much of a difference between a promoter & a politician
@@Cub__ facts
He’s being thrown softballs.
Dana for president 2040
Kelvin Gastelum joins Ray Borg and Nicco Montano as the top 3 UFC fighters who didn't take their UFC careers seriously.
Throw Mike Perry in there too
Johny Hendricks
-nicco took it seriously, that's why she got caught being a huge drug cheat. She compensated training and skill with just straight up PED's and weight misses.
Gastelum is probably the worst of the 3 because he could've been a ufc champ but never gave himself the chance because tacos are tasty I guess lol.
Kelvin grovelling on the mic. Was hard to listen to
LOL😅
“A Tajikistan fighter lost. Will you continue to sign people from Tajikistan” 🤡🤡🤡🤡. These questions suck. Never watching one of these again. What a joke
LMFAO imagine the UFC just stopped signing fighters from every country that had a fighter lose 😂
@@TheDXJC56 yeah such a weird question. The other guy on the card from there won too 🤦♂️
So do the fighter interviews. They answer these stale questions by using a string of mixed-up cliches..."At the end of the day, the grass is always greener when you have your cake and eat it too.." White is always worth listening to as the head of the UFC though.
Thanks for the video, MMA JUNKIE
You will watch again. Stop fronting virgin 😂
12:12 this the the 4th time Gastelum missed 170
Counting his cancelled Cowboy fight for which he didn't even show up to weigh in ?
He's washed out
he will keep on doing it when Dana lets him. Rob work his asss off to make weight wile Gastelum not even try only to call Dana to change weight
"Hmm, I've got a fight in a month, at possibly the most elite level of MMA. I think I'll check out a bunch of restaurants in the area for my RUclips channel." 🤡
Gastelum too expensive to keep around when he cares this little.
The translator translating english to english lol😂
That did make me laugh 😂

Not gonna address Sharas cage grab??? Damn near ripped that shit down
He was gonna win anyway
@@crazypato3752dumb reply
@@crazypato3752& you sat and watched eating potato chips
Bro the Brazilian grabbed the cage way more often and Shara was going to win anyways. STFU 😂😂😂
Didnt trocoli also have a cage grab in the first round?
Dana mad at Conor 👀😡
There are underlying contract issues they don’t want talked about
@@iceKOId knock it off. You don't know what you are talking about. Dana is a con man and can't be trusted
Jared Gordon was once again robbed and once again robbed of a bonus as that was fight of the night and should have been a bonus. Jared's last fight, he knocked out Madsen and Dana told the media that everyone on that card who got a finish would get a bonus. Jared won by KO, didn't get the bonus. Robbed against Paddy. Was picking apart Bobby Green and out of frustration Bobby Green ran head first into Jared and should have been DQ'ed so again Jared lost half his purse. And now today robbed of half his purse, Dana didn't even bring up that fight which was the best fight on the card. It's just fucking crazy.
How was Jared robed? That was a close fight
Dana dgaf
@@tsunax1400 I had money on Nasrat +100 live bet so no bias. If you watch closely Gordon definitely won the last 2 rounds based on striking volume.
@@tsunax1400 because he was robbed. Learn to score a fight.
I feel bad for Jared but I can't say that was a total robbery
_"Khamzat called this guy 'one of the toughest fights he ever had'"_ ... *Round 1 KO in 2-minutes 26-seconds. Don't lie, Dana. We have the internet.*
I was looking for this 😂😂
This was the only guy that actually stuffed takedowns against Khamzat. Especially back then but even now when he actually makes it to a fight he ragdolls people at least in the 1st round. Short notice and up a weight class excuse aside no one has ever done to Usman what Khamzat did in the 1st round. Usman wouldn't exactly be some midget if he decided to fight at middleweight either. He's been enormous for welterweight his entire career.
Media guys dissapointing again.
Asking the same 10 Conor McGregor questions instead of I don't know maybe asking Dana his thoughts on Sean Strickland wanting to sit out for a title shot, if he would be interested in Rob vs Sean or anything involving the MW division.
It was mostly Saudi media plus Russians holy smokes those questions were stupid as all hell!
Whitaker vs Strickland NEEDS to happen !
Dana confirmed he’s interested in Whitaker being the backup fighter for Izzy vs DDP. That means he’s next in line unless Strickland takes the spot!
Terrible questions conor this conor that damn
These people ask the same questions EVERY single time. "Whitaker looked really great in his performance. With him winning like that, what does it say about him?" I mean, how the fuck is someone supposed to answer this every single week? And what kind of a question is that?
The way the journalists can’t think of other questions after hearing someone else ask the same shit 30 seconds beforehand does my fucking head in, like just don’t ask anything if you can’t think 😂
Conor said...
Dana : who said?
You can tell that Dana really like Kelvin and roots for the guy, but is tired of him missing fucking weight! WIsh the best for Kelvin and hope he turns it around.
The only fighter beat tf Israel adrsanya
Um did u forget Izzy sleeping from Alex and Jan dominate him and Strickland box his face off and rob getting robbed after also whoop his ass
@@adityawardhana5103he should stay at mw and come in lean at middleweight so he’s light on his feet and can fight smart and box, not be fat and flat footed like his was against rob, and the slugging/brawling needs to stop
*Strickland vs Bobby Knuckles*
100000%
@@DrummingKid101 on the Perth card 🔥
Sean deserves a title shot.
@@hogleg8103 there’s no point of sitting out for 8 months when there’s a prime contender like Whitaker
@@hogleg8103 he would’ve gotten it if he wasn’t such a boring fighter. Fans don’t want to watch a fighter jab and teep kick for the whole 25 mins.
GOD THESE QUESTIONS SUCK
Release Kelvin
Saudi microphones are nice. Clear questions, clear answers
The words "what does that say about..." should never be in a question its in every interview.
BOBBY KNUCKLES LOOKED AMAZING TONIGHT.
GREAT PERFORMANCE.
I feel a bit sorry for Chandler. Every time Conor gets a chance to open his mouth he casts doubt on whether Chandler will be his next opponent. While Chandler sits out waiting for big payday. But, if Chandler fought in meantime like Izzy urges, he runs risk of injury and giving Conor legit reason to overlook him.
I'm shocked that there are so many people that still buy PPV fighs.
After years of watching shitty streams that lags every 5mins, i finally decided to download the UFC app and bought the ‘ANNUAL’ Subscription(PPV+Fight Library) which is strangely cheaper than i thought, much cheaper than the PER MONTH subscription and u know what?? I-do-not-regret-it one bit, worth every f*king penny.
Having access to the Fight Library is the cherry on top, i can watch every single past UFC fight anytime i want.
Also has anyone noticed the difference in Audio between the fights in UFC app and the fights uploaded on RUclips?? theres a big difference. The fights on youtube are a bit muted and weird, the crowd cheering is somewhat muted on youtube too
Yea I don’t fuck with them. I did it a few times for boxing and once for a UFC. It would lag, and completely go out. My illegal stream went out during hamzat vs Gilbert in round 2 at start of the round. Illegal streams are for broke bum teenagers.
Considering the fights wouldn’t exist without people buying them idk why it is so surprising… does it surprise you that people go to work for a living instead of stealing all your shit?
Crazy how we still have people who have jobs and pay for stuff huh?
I thought everyone was a broke bum like you 😂😂😂
Dead crowd without the Octagon girls. Dead.
I just noticed
Tbh they should just cut/not resign Kelvin Gastelum. Dude's contract is too expensive for him to be so unprofessional through all of his career. Nice guy, but he isnt even remotely worth his price tag.
Idc how rob beat him don’t matter Sean still deserves a title shot dudes number 1 and fought costa when he didn’t even need another win for a title shot
Sean won a lackluster 5 round fight. Whitaker has an amazing KO . That’s the fight to make Whitaker vs Strickland. Sitting out for 8 months is lame.
@@iceKOId stop it. Sean would destroy Rob. Sean deserves the shot, he never technically lost the belt. Got robbed against DDP and smashed Costa. Rob can wait his turn!
@@jboi6398 if Sean can’t defeat Whitaker he doesn’t deserve to be champ.
Regardless. Ikram isn't even ranked. Costa is. Theoretically, the ranked guys should KO unranked. Whens the last time Rob has finished someone? Sean finished an unranked mountain man too lol
@@iceKOId Yeah, that's why I just said he'd destroy Rob lol
Sure it was a joke. Sure it was.
Shara cheated
The reaper deserves the next title shot hes earned he fights anyone so he should defo be next 100
After Sean Strickland. sorry buddy he just ko someone he was supposed to. BOUT DAMN TIME TOO! it's only been 7 years.
@@mikehawk6120 no before Strickland he didn't defend it once he can wiat the reaper waited long enough and yes the guy might not have been ranked but no one would fight him in top 15 the reaper next then he can smash Strickland on his first defence 😉
you can tell he didn't like Saudi Arabia hahaha
Bunch of anti American sagger lovers
Fight for US citizenship? I like it! 😄👍
Worst press conference, I have listened to Fair Play to dana, that was rough 🤣🤣
When dana says Ikram had a full camp, which he did, but it's losing the weight twice in a week that's killing these performances. Same thing with Trocoli
"No one wanted to fight him" = No one Dana asked understood how that fight made any sense for them when they're top ranked and he's a nobody
Journalist: did Trump say there should be an ultimate migrant fighting league?
Dana White (the journalist’s assumption): absolutely not, what Trump was talking about…
Dana White (after): huh? …oh, …yea, of course
powerslap is unwatchable
It was not the same without the ring girls
13:07 Dana’s thinking “because we think he’s boring” 😂😂😂
hes not boring
@@S3KZChe really is, copium
@@jorgeslp3695 He is both, his personality is boring but his stand up style of fighting is not
Send Kev to the PFL
BOBBY KNUCKLES BABBY WHOOOOO 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
1:38 our schedule is laid out.
They literally just made lemos vs jandidoba main event
MFL would be amazing 😂
Dana is just as sick of the Conor TALK as the rest of us😂
Dana pissed with these rookie questions
Man these local reporters are so damn bad
Isn't the prince there the one that started training BJJ in California back in the early 90s and didn't tell his teammates who he was. Pretty sure he was from this country. Reportedly a very technical BJJ black belt.
A Migrant Fight League is crazy work 😂
Dana is as fed up as rest of real fight fans over connar
How do the ring girls feel about Saudia Arabia?
Dana is so proud of his relationship with Trump. Definitely doesn't feel embarrassed by him. Nope. Not at all.
Your TDS is showing. Why comment such stupid shite on an MMA thread?
Soft liberal
Shara takes almost 15 minutes to finish a complete can on short notice - “ya he looked great, ready for big jump in competition.”
Bo nickal dominates and finishes a semi can in 6 minutes “he’s so over hyped”
I would love to be on Danas team👍
Bobby Reaper Knuckles threw down like a Merc!!! 💪
Release Kelvin. He looked terrible. His best performance was a lackluster wrestle based boring decision
10:07 English second language journalist asks Dana in English a question and Dana still turns to the translator for him to say it again. 🤣
Ikram got robbed
Fr tho. Don’t forget Johnny walker too, gotta let these fighters go out on their shield
Too big of a jump up in competition. Whittaker is one of the best middleweights. I hope Ikram comes back stronger.
I thought ikram was rocked when he got cracked from his legs but my sources tell me he wanted to do a dagestani dance with Rob
😂😅 yeah that's a good way to put it! Pun intended right?
…of his consciousness
Kicks off saying Rob could back up title fight in Perth...5 min later says, "i don't talk ab titles, the fight just got over" when asked ab Volkov. 😂
The Sheik holding hands with Dana. Not surprised. We know how they roll there
Not a single question about felipe lima?? dude had a crazy performance given the circumstances and is gonna be a huge problem
Strickland vs whittaker winner faces winner of izzy dricus
Recency biased casual, give Sean his well earned title shot and Robert time to polish up or step in for Izzy
So many annoying mcgregor questions
Conor’s being investigated for a crime.
Wow first time I've seen Dan cowar to the audience..
Page van zant in power slap??? That is the dumbest thing ever.
I thought she had money?!?!? Why would you do power slap?!?!?
Ikram vs Khamzat 2 makes sense
Should just do Conor at the usual fall MSG card
whittaker is amazing and definitely deserves a title shot but sean deserves it more, sean EASILY beat izzy who whittacker got beat by twice and sean was robbed against driccus but stull fought costa when most everyone already agreed he deserved a rematch
Phish live streamed their 4 shows from the Sphere, so UFC won't be the first live transmission as Dana said
turki owns him
When Dana is under stress his Boston accent is stronger, something is up
Can't believe they allowed a female reporter to ask a question. They are making progress over there!
Dana you did not deliver khazmat pulled out like a chicken these fights are not competitive.
I’ll be honest I never heard of the replacement Whitaker beat I obviously know he’s gotta make him seem like a boogie man that nobody wants but idk he’s definitely not Khamzat , Whitaker never got touched
Gastelum looks like he is too small for WW even though he missed weight several times😂😂😂
They need to fire kelvin after this
Robbie VS izzy lezgo
Why can't Shara fight in the United States?
Angry Tomato trying not to blow up as usual. 😡🍅 🔥😂
omg, paige is in power slap...
Crowd is sucks
drop the ' is '
😂👍
Man is pissed at Conor
4:33 why can’t Shara compete in The United States???
hes part of the freedom fighters movement for russia against Ukraine... Visa ppl would have a problem
Cuz he only has one eye he can’t fight in the us
@@kevinarens7004Go watch anime bud
Why shara can not fight in United states?
Same reason as Khamzat Chimaev
Visa problems with a criminal history
American athletic commissions will not let him fight with 1 eye
@@chaeltheamericanmurderersi8450wrong wro no wrong it’s because of his eye
I felt Dana was not happy with the saudi card. He prefers Abu dhabi
The Saudi dudes asking questions ask real dumb shit. Also I imagine he’s very aware of Saudi money and sports washing. Look at what’s happening with boxing and football/F1.
Sold 12,000 tickets... Seems low for a 40,000 seat arena. Dana's definitely not a happy camper behind the scenes, that is fr.
If u charge double the 12k can turn into some good cash but aside from that UFC IS PAYED by Saudi king to come there so the money comes from that n not from the event itself
@@pbleezy12 That's accurate but still a low level of interest especially considering Khamzat was supposed be the main, he only pulled out what 9-10 days ago. The point 👉 is Dana didn't seem to keen on committing to coming back anytime soon. Dana a control freak and you know Turkey is in control, and he actually paid less, re-negotiated after wannabe Khamzat retired for having another cold. Just not worth the headache for Dana to deal w/high maintenance customers.
Guys like: "Can McGregor fight next month?"
Dana: "He's not healed, we're not in there yet."
Next guy: "Dana, what about Conor in October??"😵💫
Geez!! do they have a crush on Conor, or what? 🤣🤣🤣
"It was a joke it was a joke" 😂😂😂😂😂
Translation at 9:40... I could have sworn I heard Mohamed twice. This is some team America shit
Give it to him 🇦🇺
Zack Snyder / UFC ... would watch
Why does dana need that guy to transate english to english 💀💀
I would never buy tickets to a UFC event because they change the cards too much and lie about why, scamming fans left and right.
Lol trump migrant fighting is wild
That’s funny
a new talent takes a fight short notice and gets KO'd, it's fkd up that they allow this, shoulda just paid robert some money for his trouble and had two equally un-prepared fighters face each other
Dana shit on evloev and arnold allen for their fight but thought shara and trocooli lookd good 😂
Honestly, I'd buy the PPV to the first event for the "MFL"
Wow, what groundbreaking journalism. This is embarrassing
Money talks,will we in africa ever be graced with ufc,come on dana
Did Dana just confirm Arman vs Islam in October lol?
