Wage and fighter pay are essentially the same thing. Plus would you want your boss telling reporters how much you make after every fight or contract you sign? People don’t want there business like that out anyways
I once drove through an intersection with Dana standing at the crosswalk by himself. It was the most random, surreal and yet ordinary moment imaginable.
I saw dana, rogan and buffer at the airport here in Brazil, they were literally just standing there, chillin, talking amongst themselves and nobody recognized them or were too scared to walk up to them, my family? We just stood beside them listening to their conversation cause my dad recognized them but didn’t wanna bother and they kinda noticed and just kept chillin 😂 it was so random
They are underpaid.... IMO..he worth probably 400mill or more..and whoever is above him are worth even more..I wonder what kind of attitude he would have if he lost all of his money...money changes people
He does it every press conference. But he also gets away with it because he has already banned everyone who wil actually ask him challenging questions or press him for clarficiation when he is being slimy. MMA as a sport, and most defniatly the UFC events, are completly devoid of any actual jounralism. With a few exeptions.
The fact that he didn’t mention Mighty Mouse Johnson as one of the GOATS, the Champion that beat Silva’s title defense record is down right disrespectful.
Because he's not in the UFC anymore, once anyone goes to a different organization they cease to exist to Dana. He'll never send a single viewer to a competitor.

@@beardedlonewolf7695 UFC fighters get paid 17% of the revenue. After taxes, and money used on training camps, not much is left. Conor made most of his money outside of the UFC. The supposed 3rd best middleweight in the world Jared Cannonier says he’s broke, then backtracks later because he made his employer look bad. Stop talking about stuff you have no idea about.
And you do? What are you comparing their pay to? NBA? NFL? Boxers? Which MMA org pays better? Do you know the UFC p&L & profit margins? Or how much profit their parent company takes? Most fighters bitchin about pay are the ones who suck at promoting themselves & their fights. The fighter pay fan whining hasnt & will never change anything. The fighters can form a union, promote themselves better, stop under cutting eachother, etc. Lots of ways to make more $. They pay all 400 or so fighters, including the 50% who barely make a dime of revenue for the company. & they sign the dotted line, they literally agree to their pay BEFORE fighting.
Until they are an affordable price I completely agree! They keep raising them to a ridiculous price that only rich people can afford to pay. I’m not poor in the least bit an I would pay $50 for a ppv but not more then that!
no he wanted to say the flyweight champion at the time (can’t remember if it was figuerdo or moreno) bcoz he wanted to cut the divison when DEMETRIOUS JOHNSON was the champion (who imo is the ufc goat)
Adolf Hitler didn't hold his words, neither did Charles Manson, neither do many other assholes. Should I admire them? Just because someone is upfront with their bad opinions does not make them worthy of admiration; it just makes them assholes with big mouths.
@Mëïstër Ëmm Well no. Because his opinions aren't based on sending people to their deaths based on ignorance and racial grounds or inciting death. Just because I don't agree with someone doesn't make them wrong. But you're choosing to take it to wild extremes. Of course an opinion that's going to send people to their deaths is a completely different discussion. I guess I need to outline that to you.
That's not true. He isn't being honest about fighter pay and that whole GOAT list is just about who made him the most money. Ronda and Conor should not be on that top 5 list.
And I wonder how much they payout with hospital bills and other expenses to keep the company running. Stop acting like Dana pockets 84% for himself, yeah he’s a rich man so what.
@@nathenallen15 funny things is, he really shouldnt be using that argument he didnt start it, neither did he buy it his friends, who had 50 million dollar deep pockets did. he just suggested it and thats what we're doing too, suggesting. we're just as good, as Dana
07:20, for me it's still Gary Goodridge's crucifix elbow finish even all these years later. For the brutal efficiency of Goodridge and shear helplessness of Paul Herrera.
@@Schreibtisch1 yh another brutal one. First time I saw that, I hasn't seen much fighting other than boxing, I thought Morris must have a skull fracture
2:55 Just a reminder that UFC fighter pay is only 12% of revenue compared to 50% in any major sport, NFL, MLB, NBA. Keep that in mind next time you wonder why NFL athletes can go for 3 hours but any fighter in the UFC Heavyweight division gets tired after the 1st round.
It's hard to not like a guy with the candor of Dana White. You may disagree with what he does but he will tell you why he's gonna do it, then tell you why he is doing it while he's doing it then after explain why he did it and why it worked (or didn't but that's rare)
The best staredown fight ever was the time Jones and Johnson pretended to start a fight on stage. Dana probably got a complete body shutdown for a few seconds, back then, so he forgot it ever happened.
Come on man, fedor would've absolutely destroyed brock, look what cain, overeem did to him Fedor was destroying ufc heavyweight champions one by one back then
Gotta respect how he has totally monopolized MMA. Pays most of them pennies on the dollar, makes these idiots knock years off their lives so he can get a new watch or car, respect.
On one hand he's given them the opportunity to fight on The biggest stage in the world On the other hand he's elevated the sport to such a level that these fighters are being paid more now than ever before in history I certainly think they are underpaid, but the ufc isn't anywhere near as established as the NBA, NFL etc or as profitable as soccer leagues in Europe, the fighting scene is much more unpredictable and caters to a smaller audience, everybody loves fighting, but few ppl love it enough to buy a ppv U also have the sport being dependent on personalities like Connor, Jones, lesnar etc, it's nothing like the other seasonal sports
@@Matthew-rc1xt come on man Dana’s just defending his bottom line. Vast majority of these fighters are living just above the poverty line in a sport where they put their life on the line. For as profitable as the ufc is that’s just ridiculous. Unionizing would be the best thing or at least let them have sponsors for Christ sake
@@MrSparkymane It’s a business. Top guys make big $. Don’t forget they get a percentage of ppvs also at that level. Yes it sucks for the bottom guys, but it actually pays more than the bottom guys at boxing
@@MrSparkymane incentive to fight more, plus these fighters need to smarten up with building their own brand. Like how Connor did, like how O'malley is doing. The ufc provides a good bit of money but also fame. If fighters don't capitalize off of all the opportunities that are presented, that's not the UFC's problem
Nah its pretty basic to be defensive when whole internet been on his neck for years over this. And what he say is true u just cant pay average fighter millions when they doesnt make hardly any money to company. Conor got paid like 4M fight and thats huge and conor earned those dollars he put ufc on the map
@@joulupukki1607 that’s the point thought. He exaggerates the amount on purpose, every other sport with this massive of a platform pays TEAMS, MANAGERS, and STAFF very well. Nobody is denying Dana’s accomplishments but its a travesty the guys who put their bodies and brains on the line walked out with crumbs building what the UFC is today. He knows he can get away with it too, because there will be no shortage of young men wanting to beat each other up to prove themselves. No one is saying pay your ALL your fighters millions, when the main card guys make 10k. 10K, brother, that’s nothing if you factor in gym & coaching fees plus other expenses, fighters out of any other athletes in the world make less than your average citizen. The amount of effort & talent you need to be a pro fighter is insane, you have to give up everything else in your life bc if you aren’t there are guys who are. You don’t see many fighters with college degrees or careers outside the UFC. Yes there is a few but that’s not the majority and those cases are outliers to the mean.
@@lesterivan282862 There's not a combat sport around that pays teams and managers or fighter's "staff." Coache's, manager's and team's payroll comes out of the fighter's pay. UFC staff (announcers, ring card girls, analysts, etc.) are paid bu the UFC.
Dana whites response to fighter was “We make so much money and are one of the best to ever do it, but fighters are greedy and selfish about pay and should get what I tell them they should get”

Still a fan of Dana though lol.
Why not just pay for them? This is a little hypocritical tbh, I do stream some events myself, but I havnt worked in 9 years due to mental illness, so I have to, but if I was working or had some decent income I'd pay for all of them.
@@Lazy_Prophet You answered your own question.
A lot of people don't have a job or get paid a pittance, so they watch the fight in streaming
I still laughed at Dana and every service streaming in the world 🤣😂
Bro slide me the website I’m down bad
@@Lazy_Prophet Make no mistake I buy Cards that are actually worth buying, but the recent bump in price is definitely hard for some people especially if the quality of the card isn't up to par.
Khamzat definitely ain’t no next mcgregor atm 😂
Great to see Dana back on GQ again, the videos they've made with him were all hillarious
He's a trashbag. Can't wait for a real tough person, like the many he exploits, to break him
They needed this one to be 20 mins long. Sometimes, most the time, I look forward to his post fight press conferences as much as the card.

Dana's actual response to "Which Champion would you cut?" is almost definitely Carla Esparza.
I love that I saw Dana’s favorite UFC moment live :)
My friend Allan told me that it’s not the real Ceasar’s Palace because Caesar didn’t lived there. Allan was so disappointed to know it, that he decided to pet a giraffe instead.
he’s hilarious and tells it how it is
No. If he would have told it like it is, he would admit that UFC fighters are underpaid.
@@mikehansen7610 lmao what? I hope you're sarcastic.
@@beardedlonewolf7695 UFC fighters get paid 17% of the revenue. After taxes, and money used on training camps, not much is left. Conor made most of his money outside of the UFC. The supposed 3rd best middleweight in the world Jared Cannonier says he’s broke, then backtracks later because he made his employer look bad. Stop talking about stuff you have no idea about.
And you do? What are you comparing their pay to? NBA? NFL? Boxers? Which MMA org pays better? Do you know the UFC p&L & profit margins? Or how much profit their parent company takes? Most fighters bitchin about pay are the ones who suck at promoting themselves & their fights. The fighter pay fan whining hasnt & will never change anything. The fighters can form a union, promote themselves better, stop under cutting eachother, etc. Lots of ways to make more $. They pay all 400 or so fighters, including the 50% who barely make a dime of revenue for the company. & they sign the dotted line, they literally agree to their pay BEFORE fighting.
good
That was actually very entertaining to watch.
I'm still watching ppvs for free 💪
no1- cares
Until they are an affordable price I completely agree! They keep raising them to a ridiculous price that only rich people can afford to pay. I’m not poor in the least bit an I would pay $50 for a ppv but not more then that!

Casual moment
1:41 we all know he wanted to say Ngannou here lmao
no he wanted to say the flyweight champion at the time (can’t remember if it was figuerdo or moreno) bcoz he wanted to cut the divison when DEMETRIOUS JOHNSON was the champion (who imo is the ufc goat)

@@CybertroninfiniteOfficial How not?
Whether you agree with the man or not, you have to admire a man that doesn't hold his words.
Adolf Hitler didn't hold his words, neither did Charles Manson, neither do many other assholes.
Should I admire them?
Just because someone is upfront with their bad opinions does not make them worthy of admiration; it just makes them assholes with big mouths.
@Mëïstër Ëmm Well no. Because his opinions aren't based on sending people to their deaths based on ignorance and racial grounds or inciting death. Just because I don't agree with someone doesn't make them wrong. But you're choosing to take it to wild extremes. Of course an opinion that's going to send people to their deaths is a completely different discussion. I guess I need to outline that to you.
Why?

Except he’s lying through his teeth about fighter pay. I like the guy, but he’s a scumbag when the topic of fighter pay comes up
That's not true. He isn't being honest about fighter pay and that whole GOAT list is just about who made him the most money. Ronda and Conor should not be on that top 5 list.

“All though without fighters we have no business. UFC fighters worth get paid 16% exactly what they’re worth” - Dana F. White Jr, 2022
And I wonder how much they payout with hospital bills and other expenses to keep the company running. Stop acting like Dana pockets 84% for himself, yeah he’s a rich man so what.
Go start a business and pay them more like he suggested
@@Harry_SS i'm sure all of that don't cost 84% my guy
@@mikko3 no revenue without labor, community college dropout.
@@nathenallen15 funny things is, he really shouldnt be using that argument
he didnt start it, neither did he buy it
his friends, who had 50 million dollar deep pockets did.
he just suggested it
and thats what we're doing too, suggesting. we're just as good, as Dana
I like how direct Dana White is
@@breakfastbean4359 Not at all, Dana white is most certainly a very direct man.
He is so direct, I thought directv was his company.
its how males always were
Dana Said, "This isnt a career, its an OPPROTUNITY." Bottom Line is: Alot of fighters quit because of the lack of pay.
At least we've seen Dana not talking about John Jones for 3 minutes and 54 seconds
07:20, for me it's still Gary Goodridge's crucifix elbow finish even all these years later. For the brutal efficiency of Goodridge and shear helplessness of Paul Herrera.
Could of killed him!
Vitor vs Jones
Round 4
Oh then you'll also remember Pat Smith vs Scott Morris? Those elbows were so brutal...
@@Schreibtisch1 yh another brutal one. First time I saw that, I hasn't seen much fighting other than boxing, I thought Morris must have a skull fracture
I hope dana does more of these i really enjoyed it.
7:40 might potentially be the most freezing cold take of all time
2:55 Just a reminder that UFC fighter pay is only 12% of revenue compared to 50% in any major sport, NFL, MLB, NBA.
Keep that in mind next time you wonder why NFL athletes can go for 3 hours but any fighter in the UFC Heavyweight division gets tired after the 1st round.
what does that have to do with fighters getting tired?
@@Among13504 money can drive a person to give a better perfomance and try to win no matter the cost.

noooo they already deserve to reach a million subscribers is mandatory, this is incredible!
It's hard to not like a guy with the candor of Dana White. You may disagree with what he does but he will tell you why he's gonna do it, then tell you why he is doing it while he's doing it then after explain why he did it and why it worked (or didn't but that's rare)
It’s actually super hard to like him
You should be arrested for putting Dana and Candor in the same sentence
3:55 Dana still trying to lure Khabib back for another fight or two lol
No barrier to entry in starting an MMA org? Okay Dana, I’ll just have my rich Italian friends buy me an already established promotion.
I would not call the UFC an already established organization in 1999
sure
"Already established promotion"
"Rich friends"
Shows how much you know.
It was a 2 million dollar company when he got involved, took it to a valuation of over 4 billion. Not even close to established
I will give you a company worth 2-3 million. Will you make it worth 10 billion dollars ?
We all know Esparza was the answer to the question Dana didn’t want to answer.
ngannou
Don't agree with a lot of his decisions fair-play wise but the man knows how to grow a business fast and did it in the most genius way possible.

2:00 Bro, there is no way Brock would have beat Emelianenko. Even as old as Fedor was in that point, for me he is still the G.O.A.T
Henderson beat Fedor, it's not impossible for Brock lesnar
Tru fedor prob killed brock
@@risottonero4501
Henderson beat Fedor on the decline.
The fact that Dana doesn't know about Qoura makes me realise that how blessed he is.
All the love he has for jon jones is crazy !!! Dude has faith in him he is the best !
I like how he always uses the words "barrier to entry " when he gives his fighter pay speech to avoid future litigation.
Haven’t watched this yet but I was told the odds on Dana telling me to start my own mma organisation is around -13000
Lol
The best staredown fight ever was the time Jones and Johnson pretended to start a fight on stage. Dana probably got a complete body shutdown for a few seconds, back then, so he forgot it ever happened.
Funny how he’s mad at ppl pirating…. He pirating his fighters money 😂
Not true
He really said GSP after he pissed off Dana by vacating the belt twice? 🤣
He wanted to say Ngannou so bad
Come on man, fedor would've absolutely destroyed brock, look what cain, overeem did to him
Fedor was destroying ufc heavyweight champions one by one back then
I also would have backed Fedor in that fight.
He did say he's biased. Lol.
Brock had more roids than blood in 2009 🤣
There's a reason Fedor dodged the ufc. But he still tarnished his legacy getting slept by werdum and H bombed by Hendo
I have the feeling Dana White could become a solid stand up comic.... Glad he's not folding to pressures.
tell that to mike tyson lol
Gotta respect how he has totally monopolized MMA. Pays most of them pennies on the dollar, makes these idiots knock years off their lives so he can get a new watch or car, respect.
On one hand he's given them the opportunity to fight on The biggest stage in the world
On the other hand he's elevated the sport to such a level that these fighters are being paid more now than ever before in history
I certainly think they are underpaid, but the ufc isn't anywhere near as established as the NBA, NFL etc or as profitable as soccer leagues in Europe, the fighting scene is much more unpredictable and caters to a smaller audience, everybody loves fighting, but few ppl love it enough to buy a ppv
U also have the sport being dependent on personalities like Connor, Jones, lesnar etc, it's nothing like the other seasonal sports
everyone does not love fighting. its a niche sport and always will be @@Mcbignuts
Thinking fighters would fight if they didn't get paid enough is stupid, most of them could just get sponsored if that was the case
And I feel he purposely talks down Khabib to try and make him think about returning 🤣
He goes straight to the point
except when talking about fighter pay lmao
@@fabiokaya202 Wym, he explained it clearly. They get paid what they bring in. If he doesn’t pay them why does everyone want to fight for the UFC?
@@Matthew-rc1xt come on man Dana’s just defending his bottom line. Vast majority of these fighters are living just above the poverty line in a sport where they put their life on the line. For as profitable as the ufc is that’s just ridiculous. Unionizing would be the best thing or at least let them have sponsors for Christ sake
@@MrSparkymane It’s a business. Top guys make big $. Don’t forget they get a percentage of ppvs also at that level. Yes it sucks for the bottom guys, but it actually pays more than the bottom guys at boxing
@@MrSparkymane incentive to fight more, plus these fighters need to smarten up with building their own brand. Like how Connor did, like how O'malley is doing. The ufc provides a good bit of money but also fame. If fighters don't capitalize off of all the opportunities that are presented, that's not the UFC's problem
homie caught a lot of people pirating streams yet you can still see every single fight online lmao
You can tell Dana knows he's not paying them enough with how defensive he gets lol
Slow
Nah its pretty basic to be defensive when whole internet been on his neck for years over this. And what he say is true u just cant pay average fighter millions when they doesnt make hardly any money to company. Conor got paid like 4M fight and thats huge and conor earned those dollars he put ufc on the map
@@joulupukki1607 that’s the point thought. He exaggerates the amount on purpose, every other sport with this massive of a platform pays TEAMS, MANAGERS, and STAFF very well. Nobody is denying Dana’s accomplishments but its a travesty the guys who put their bodies and brains on the line walked out with crumbs building what the UFC is today. He knows he can get away with it too, because there will be no shortage of young men wanting to beat each other up to prove themselves. No one is saying pay your ALL your fighters millions, when the main card guys make 10k. 10K, brother, that’s nothing if you factor in gym & coaching fees plus other expenses, fighters out of any other athletes in the world make less than your average citizen. The amount of effort & talent you need to be a pro fighter is insane, you have to give up everything else in your life bc if you aren’t there are guys who are. You don’t see many fighters with college degrees or careers outside the UFC. Yes there is a few but that’s not the majority and those cases are outliers to the mean.
@@lesterivan282862 There's not a combat sport around that pays teams and managers or fighter's "staff."
Coache's, manager's and team's payroll comes out of the fighter's pay. UFC staff (announcers, ring card girls, analysts, etc.) are paid bu the UFC.
