And he’s right. Those 3 people basically made the sport famous. Without them nobody would care about this sport and their organization. It’s not about fights themselves it’s about selling tickets and entertainment. Those 3 knew how to sell tickets and be good entertainers compared to all other fighters with boring personalities

Great question about the gloves. I don’t think anyone is making a solid conclusion just yet but it’s worth talking about the 10% drop in KOs since these gloves were introduced.
Adam: "We have data that shows an emerging decline in the historically standard KO rate, is there a concern about the gloves or do we need more data?" Dana: "uhhhhhh I see people go nightnight all the time"
Could be the gloves. Could also be that most of your power hitters are leaving and most of the roster is becoming well rounded so heavy striking isn’t a focus point for them. Could also be how guys are cutting. I believe most of the KOs are due to the extreme weight cutting. The brain will shut down if it has low fluid and taking damage so it’ll protect itself.
@@YourJewishOverlord It could be anything, that's exactly WHY we use data. KO rate had a steady trend through weight cutting, general evolution of the sport, and the intro of DWCS (when UFC started releasing talent). None of those are new. The trend only changed when the gloves did, so the question is how much proof do we need before it can be said confidently. And Dana's response is really just "nah we don't have to look into it, feels ok"
@@nyproduct1277the question we should be asking is…in a era when we know how dangerous CTE is, why are we complaining about less knockouts🤔? I’ve seen way too many of these fighters or other athletes struggle later in life and seen the pain their families go through, definitely not worth a few minutes of entertainment for strangers who don’t give a damn about them apparently.
@@antoanburke8487 The decline in KOs will be negliigble to brain health, in fact its the repeated trauma and not the knock out necessarily that causes the damage. What actually will hurt fighters is a worse product, declining viewership, and less return for what's already the last option for many.
There's a ton of middleweights that would be a stiffer challenge for Chimaev. Dana won't put him in there against them though. There's also Chimaev's travel issues restricting the events he can attend. Borahlo, Hermanson, Allan, Rodriguez are just a few that would beat or make a better fight v Chimaev.
If Max loses, he will remain just as popular as a contender and as the BMF and ilia will not make a good contender his fame is as a champion thatKOs people. It’s pretty clear why a fight promoter would want ilia to win
Wants legitimate stats when it comes to rankings, when legitimate stats are mentioned about the gloves it’s “silly”…This guy really does treat the fans like they’re stupid
the ufc used to be better when they all (dana and the fighters (especially conor)) were striving for something. now that they're established, they seem to not be as excited.
AI rankings would be great. But I don't think Dana himself will appreciate the results in the long run. Some youtubers already attempting to rank via ELO system off of cold hard facts from fight performances.. shows some results Dana and fans won't be happy with (his type of characters to promote lagging behind 'boring' true athletes). Will this new rankings be primary consideration for matchups and title shots? That's what I want to know.. someone should ask Dana this.

Dana overhauling the rankings
1. Jon Jones

Tom would smoke him but it wont happen and rankings are based on results.
@@Me-lm6yd - It's very easy to justify it not being him. He's failed 4 drug tests, he shouldn't even be in the rankings at all.
1.Jon Jones
2.Jon Jones
3.Jon Jones
4.Jon jones
5.Jon jones
Ranking isnt the same as pound for pound. They are different discussions and people get them confused.
@@Me-lm6yd Best record against middleweights with T-Rex arms, he also hides regularly from the drug testers
New rankings no.1 Jon Jones, no. 2 Jon Jones, no. 3 Jon Jones…no. 4 Conor Mcgregor

Hilarious how the final straw to fixing the rankings was a guy not moving up after a loss

It's all a trash excuse so he can put Jones as no.1

Get rid of those bs gold gloves
The gold is fine. They look great covered in blood. Maybe if they changed the color a little bit to a better gold would be even better
@@ghagzor gold not fine
I feel like a darker gold is better, but man those gloves have nothing to do with any perceived dip in KOs.
@@ghagzorbetter gold agree
Make no mistake. This whole rankings thing is purely about Jon Jones
Loool he hated the gloves question
love how he pretended not to understand at first
@@thestoik5440straight out the Dana playbook
Typical Dana
Adam, super chilled interview, enjoyed that 🏴 👍
Fair play to Adam, he has figured out the formula to staying in Dana's good graces
Adam: "We have data that shows an emerging decline in the historically standard KO rate, is there a concern about the gloves or do we need more data?"
Dana: "uhhhhhh I see people go nightnight all the time"
The David Stern of MMA, can't wait for the next generation of management.

Dana seems so tense in these interviews
Its called passion
@@sr4087 no it isn’t
Dana has lost all enthusiasm for the sport.
Yea, I have the same feeling..
Been like that since he sold the company
Problem isn't Dana; problem is Ari Emanuel.
@@aggieraz what is the deal with Ari Emanuel?
AI could never jump someone up after a loss
Why not?
@@positivevibes532it’s a computer, it thinks logically. A L is a L.
A program could consider how long someone lasted against the same opponent snd put roundtree above jamahal hill with the right algorithym .
Rounds lasted, points per round, frequency of fighting etc etc.
Dana has become such a joke lately. Imagine giving us Jones vs Stipe. So much for best vs best
Peak casual comment
Right. If Dana were not such a “joke,” UFC would prosper. 🤣
There's a ton of middleweights that would be a stiffer challenge for Chimaev. Dana won't put him in there against them though. There's also Chimaev's travel issues restricting the events he can attend.
Borahlo, Hermanson, Allan, Rodriguez are just a few that would beat or make a better fight v Chimaev.
I know he says no outdoor arenas, but 24k in the Madrid Bullring for El Matador title fight would be pretty epic stuff.
Dana should cut Jamahal Hill just for being the biggest clown in the company’s history
Dana white: “I’m totally gonna “FIX” the rankings” 😂
really eager to see an AI ranking man. will bring other problems probably, but some moves have to be made.
I like Dana's little shirt.
Looks like Dana really wants Ilia to win
Ilia will win by decision
He seeing the ££.
expanding into Spain / Georgia. Selling out either the nou camp / madrids stadium will be huge.
nobody cares bout Max. He doesnt sell like Dimitrious
Illia is the golden spoon for UFC to Enter Spain he needs him so yah illia wins if it goes to Decision
If Max loses, he will remain just as popular as a contender and as the BMF and ilia will not make a good contender his fame is as a champion thatKOs people. It’s pretty clear why a fight promoter would want ilia to win
Madrid's Las Ventas Bullring holds 23,798 seats and many more seats could be added around the Octagon ! Let's make it happen Dana😀
If Topuria wins Saturday night. He should definitely be fighting in Spain next.
If they need a new algorithm, they should talk to Eduardo Saverin
Wants legitimate stats when it comes to rankings, when legitimate stats are mentioned about the gloves it’s “silly”…This guy really does treat the fans like they’re stupid
Wow every question ive heard answered at press conferences for the last 3 months…. Thanks for being so innovative
Dana too old to be wearing ripped jeans
Woah bro’s spoken to mark who can’t even run insta properly due to AI😂😂all the love for dana though
What?
the ufc used to be better when they all (dana and the fighters (especially conor)) were striving for something. now that they're established, they seem to not be as excited.
He doesn’t care how to make it work, as long as jones is p4p. The system will be built for jones to be p4p
Start asking real questions please
Dana used to be passionate, but fun. Now he just seems tetchy and angry all the time.
Humans should still do the rankings...not AI bs , or ufc company shills...
This card is banging tho
so when he says hes gonna totally fix the rankings. he means he's gonna totally fix the rankings
Has Dana fallen behind in his training and gary Brecka healthy food intake or just getting old
I think hye broke his keto diet this week cos he is looking a lil puffy and irritable.
I’m pretty confused how Max can beat Justin Gaethje but not go ahead of him in the rankings??? I’d like to hear how Dana thinks that makes sense
What in God's name could Zuck have to do with the ranking system? Please help me understand
Dana said it’s regarding AI rather than the rankings specifically

No mate him n his mates on a Tuesday still decide that
Now let’s talk about the judges please
Best fight on card is Robert v kazmat
Dana gonna make the rankings great again!

0:00 *Uncle Fester
Spain dosent even have a Spanish UFC fighter right?

just to promote UFC 309
