How much money is TKO/Endeavor losing with no Francis in the picture? And how much would they have lost if they let go of Jones early on? Interesting to ponder.
Francis blackballed himself. Now he's boxing and losing someone else's money not the ufc anymore who cares, no need to bring that boxer up when we're talking about mma fighters.
@@McYeroc he left the ufc Nate Diaz also left the ufc, Dana said Nate is always welcomed back and said Francis is never welcomed back. That is by definition black balling just shut up man
Dana did Wonderboy dirty too. By saying "he turned down the fight" not clarifying he JUST made weight, and refused to do another weight cut 2 weeks later. .. following the pererra weight miss
Wonderboy is a terrific person, but boring af as a fighter and during press conferences. I have no doubt that many will disagree, I just found Wonderboy to lack pizazz bith inside and outside the octagon.
@@scottlosey4978 he was exciting to watch, until the Woodley fights, then hes been wrestle-fucked mostly afterwards. The Rory and Big Rig fights were masterpieces
It’s not a “reveal” if everyone knows it. we all knew dana hated askren and we all know that dana plays favorites and if he doesn’t like you, your not gonna get pushed simple as that
Dana definitely hated him in the 2010s but by 2019 dana oddly seemed cool with him Letting askren go box paul when hes still under ufc contract was a shock
it’s terribly ironic the promoter will turn into a dictator if you don’t do his job for him and also become a promoter while being the best in the world. i’m so grateful the dagestanis get their praise
Theres no way a guy that cried like dc has on live tv he absolutely reads the comments. Whether he pays attention to them or not is more accurate @Guru-ue2yp
Askren getting booted from the UFC after just 2 losses was ridiculous..... Dude beat Robbie Lawler after getting his face punched in and dropped on his skull..... Second fight, he takes a flying knee that would KO literally ANY man in ANY weight class in that fashion..... Not too mention, that was a fluke that would never happen again. Ben got careless on that one and if he got a rematch, he would take Masvidal down and outwrestle him. No way that would ever happen again.... Third fight was against a BJJ legend that was, in all honesty, a bad match up altogether for Ben. Getting submitted by Maia does not mean you dont belong in the UFC.... That's just crazy. Maia is a beast..... So in the end, you got a guy who beat a massive UFC king pin at the time (Lawler), lost by a fluke flying knee, and got submitted by one of the best grapplers in the world and suddenly you are booted from the UFC? How the hell does that work?...... How many losses did Diego Sanchez or Tito Ortiz have before they were tossed out? Oh wait, they werent! How many losses does Masvidal have right now? Dude just lost 4 STRAIGHT and he is still in.... Tell me that Dana doesnt have a personal issue with Askren.
The text messages when Jones was caught drunk/drinking in a car, with a recently fired gun, all while during the lockdown, have to be absolutely hysterical.
Sorry, but as a fan of fighters and seeing the way the UFC treats their athletes that aren't at the top, I'll make no excuses for Dane White and his business practices. Anybody that hasn't read the messages needs to. Dana White & Co. celebrating cutthroat practices that 'are straight out of a movie' (almost a direct quote from the emails) is pathetic. It sucks to realize that your favorite sport is run by thugs and built off pigeonholing young athletes with 12k/12k contract deals, but ya gotta rip the band-aid off and face it.
Ben Askren is comparing himself with Jones. If there weren't competitors Dana will kick Jones and McGreggor, but he would not risk Bellator getting them. Askren was so insignificant that Dana literally played him and he told the story in Joe's podcast several years back.
Dana “Blackballed” Cyborg. He was pressured to sign her . He hated Cyborg for calling out all the women fighters in the UFC for years.When Amanda Nunes got the flash knockout on Cyborg . No rematch against his Golden Goose in the women’s division and Cyborg was gone ,B/S
DC is crazy obsessed with Jon. It’s such a bad look at this point. His hate towards Jones will be what he’s known for. It literally never ends. Cael owns him, Jon owns him, now Dana owns him. This was a champ…. Sad
Ex one champion… goes to ufc … gets dismantled brutally… gets a lucky one from herb dean against Robbie lawler… gets flying knee’d changing his conscious status to OFF… gets dropped by UFC and gets knocked out in a boxing match against a Disney RUclipsr at the beginning of his amateur boxing career/semi pro….. but Dana White Blackballed YOU? Your not worth a slip in the grocery store my friend
DC, Bisping and Chael in my opinion are OBVIOUSLY paid by Dana to bend any narrative in his favor. I mean it’s obvious. Chael tries to be slick like he’s going against the UFC or being for someone like Francis as he’s making a point for the UFC or against the fighter like Francis
Dana's done a lot for the MMA, but now he is holding it back because he can't be reasoned with. I would't mind someone with a more fighter oriented approach take the UFC to the next level. There is a reason you couldn't have a Dana head the NFL or the NBA. Next level sports require a different approach.
I disagree, almost every post fight press conference the "journalist" ask "did the trash talk go to far" blah blah blah and Dana shuts it's down, the next guy will probably start releasing fighters and muzzling them unlike Dana
Dana is a promoter as long as it's him spinning his own story like calling Askren scared or whatever else he says about anyone he doesn't like for 1.37 seconds. He then suddenly doesn't get called a promoter when he has to actually do his job, like promoting new talent. Instead, the fighters are blamed for not being showboaters and generating money and "moving the needle". Yea, fighters have a certain amount of due diligence where they should promote themselves, but at the end of the day, the UFC is the promotion and the fighters are the fighters. UFC gets a pass for not promoting these fighters and then cutting them, but fighters don't get a pass and instead get blamed for not "promoting themselves enough".
Cant get rid of a guy whos winning ? Francis ? Mighty mouse ? He got rid of Bones ,if he wasnt the undisputed goat he wouldnt of got a chance to come back its evident that dana is petty
Cant keep a guy that keeps winning? Didnt the UFC kick Mighty Mouse to the curb after 1 loss? Lol I could be wrong on the number of losses but its not many. Dude ran that division. The correct statement would be they cant get rid of a guy that brings in money. Record has nothing to do with it. Connor?
If Cormier or Askren fires one of their employees, what the heck is that employee going to do about it? It's not like the employee is going to physically beat up Cormier or Askren. LOL!
Is Strickland gonna get away with threatening Dricus? I mean that dm was 100% serious and can fighters really do that to each other? Everyone praising his sportsmanship with the loss, but giving him a pass on the ‘I will stab you and ruin both our lives’ ?
Context is important though. Strickland said if you do such and such, he was gonna stab him. Thats not the same as if he just messaged him threatening to stab him. I’m sure there’s some border that can be crossed for yourself that you’d be willing to stab someone over. It’s more of a warning than a threat.
I disagree, I don't think John Jones would have beat Dan Henderson as easy as you think. If dan would have landed the h bomb on johnny bones , he would have been blown up just like everybody else got
Dominic Gray has beat the brakes off. John Jones and he didn't get a rematax with John jonesit doesn't matter Jones doesn't ever remap, anybody, because he knows he'll get his ass kicked. The second timer. Cause his dantics are good, but they're very easy to catch onto. I'd like to fight him I think I could spar with jones,I'm same size,just a but shorter,tricky my damn self, and quick,I hit hard too.I should be his sparring partner so I could show what a 50 yr old never trained could do.Better than you think,I bet
More like black-eyed by lawler all bs aside ben had his chance in the ufc i just think it was late in his career was all u still have to be a tough sob to make it in the ufc been would snap 95 percent of peoples necks in the world...
Yes dan most likely gets beat by John Jones. But Dan is one fighter that always had a chance. I think Dan had morw of a xhance than D.C had. At least Dan could have knocked him out. D.C had no chance of beating Jin on any level
@@ep3578 i believe Dan would have lost also. What I'm saying is Dan is at least capable of 1 punch power that could do anyone. D.C does not even have that
He was the biggest hype job at the time and sucked from his first fight! 🤦♂️ it was like when Tazz came into the WWF. They hyped him up so much and he didn’t get any traction and fell off and was a commentator.
Blackballed? Mofo ate the kitchen sink & a whole family meal buffet & got out struck my a grappler, then He decided to retire. He got Blue-balled on his forehead. It’s not like Dana dissuaded anyone from signing Asscreme. Mofo evacuated himself from future harm that was inarguably pending
they said the quiet part out loud. im tired of everyone acting as if Jones has dana white privilege. Dana is from old school BOSTON and is a MAGA TRUMPSTER REPUBLICAN.... Jones was simply too dam good to let go and dana knew that. but if he had lost just one fight i promise you dana would treat him worser than tyron or aljo
DC: “Dana would never blackball someone who is winning”
Does Francis not exist now? lol
How much money is TKO/Endeavor losing with no Francis in the picture? And how much would they have lost if they let go of Jones early on? Interesting to ponder.
@@a-damthemansixtynan4463 thanks for replying something that has nothing to do with my comment. ✅

And Demetrius Johnson

If Dana were that dumb to pay his full 250K purse then what's to stop future fighters colluding to split a huge paycheck and not fight
Wonderboy is a terrific person, but boring af as a fighter and during press conferences. I have no doubt that many will disagree, I just found Wonderboy to lack pizazz bith inside and outside the octagon.
@@scottlosey4978 he was exciting to watch, until the Woodley fights, then hes been wrestle-fucked mostly afterwards. The Rory and Big Rig fights were masterpieces
@@scottlosey4978What wonder boy fight was boring?
he said the exact same thing about DJ and TJ
DC is quite literally the last person to ask anything about the UFC
Company man through and through
And Ben is salty and got ko’d by Jake Paul he wansnt good in the ufc. You gonna pretend Ben was good just because you want to stick it to Dana?
Agreed. Dana is his boss at this point. Now way DC would insult Dana.
It’s not a “reveal” if everyone knows it. we all knew dana hated askren and we all know that dana plays favorites and if he doesn’t like you, your not gonna get pushed simple as that

8:20 mr ghetto got mad at that huh😂😂
DC Another mouthpiece for Dana.....Sad
He's a company man
I love Ben. He has no hands.... He will serve this sport as an analyst or critic far more than a competitor at any weight.
ur fake sentiment is seen through. 20 people may like it but 10000 saw it and laughed
I don’t think DC even looks at comments 😂
He doesn’t, he could care less
Have you ever heard of an old saying "you lose a strand of hair everytime you lie?". Bald head would disagree though
It’s better when you don’t read all the toxic stuff every troll has to say
Theres no way a guy that cried like dc has on live tv he absolutely reads the comments. Whether he pays attention to them or not is more accurate @Guru-ue2yp
Why would he? He has shit to do.
If anyone is black and bald it's DC.

DC is a company man, ofc he's going to back Dana!

The answer is Ben didn't know. 12 minutes saved
Dc forgot about Mighty Mouse…
MM just got beat by Cejudo.
And MM made it known he wanted out I think.
you should include link to full episode when you clip it
seconded
@@calebrobinson3144my balls are cold
My niece met daniel after a fight, she said he’s the nicest guy.
Something tells me that wasn't the only time Ben was black-balled lol
What on earth could you possibly be implying?
@@TruthSeeker-rn1tmidk wtf he is implying LOL
bisping, dc and chael are the ultimate company men lol
I reckon jones agrees with Dana’s comments looking back at it now
Delusional. You're just a Jones hater.

DC got that camera filter working overtime
UFC fighters are not employees, they are independent contractors.
Duuuurrrrrrr duhhhhhhhh doooohhhhhh 😂
dana burner account going crazy
It's an opportunity
Independent contractors lol ok Dana can try to say it all he wants
Wrong ufc fighters sign to ufc
lmao this thumbnail
Dana had to move an entire event from Vegas to Cali, on 2-3 days notice, because of Jones.. he can say whatever he wants!
Just imagine the texts Jon has sent about Dana😂 Men usually get over this type of nonsense.
Ben Askren is comparing himself with Jones. If there weren't competitors Dana will kick Jones and McGreggor, but he would not risk Bellator getting them. Askren was so insignificant that Dana literally played him and he told the story in Joe's podcast several years back.
Just be care of always backing UFC or Dana. If you gotta agree with everything they do just don't say anything DC.
Thank You
i think all of us long time fans know dana said all that to jon’s face🤣
Askren was Pink Balled by Dana.
Jones is a bad employee tho. He got two events canceled
Seans face looks a lil punchy glad to see hes been keepin up with wrestling
DC is using a filter 😂
I hate the saying “let’s run that back” cuz no one ever said it until masvidal said it

His trade partner MM was blackballed, not him.

If course DC is towing the company line defending Dana because he still gets a huge paycheck from Dana every month.
Nobody can be surprised. These guys always talk like that about people who don't give them what they want when they want it how they want it.
Dricus interview!!!
Ben joins the UFC and starts trolling the boss.
UFC fighters have the same contract as WWE performers

Cormier is an expert on everything Jon Jones.
Lol Ben askren said dan white "let us down" kinda how askren whole career in the ufc is a let down
how many wins in ufc did he have
Its not the love for Dana White he has but the hate for John Jones , at this point DC and Bones have to fight again lol
Love Funky! Proper fella!
Can’t believe Daniela because he is employed by the ufc. He’s on Dana nuts!!
The Dana texts about Ben are probably soooooo bad 😂
He wasnt blackballed, he was black eyed and beaten until he quit to go get embarrassed by Jake Paul
I got the hot oil DC are you ready ?
DC being a brown-nosing company man? I'm shocked /s
Rand Paul was in the UFC?
DC, are you admitting you talk about your employees like Dana does?
Them both pretending dana liked them the same lol. Poor Ben. Doesn't mean less of you if Dana dont like you tho
ok but us fans not just got blackballed. we got all rainbow-color-balled, whiteball, curveball n all kind of balls by having ben askren in ufc.
I love you papa Danny
How much does Dana pay DC to do this podcast 🤔
Askren is the welterweight GOAT!!
I guarantee Dana didn’t say that to Jon’s face if he’d do bad stuff to a pregnant lady imagine what he’d do to Dana 😂
UFC 300 Askren vs Masvidol 2
It’s because he took a dive against Jake……..
Honestly he got his ass whipped all of his fights horribly unimpressed

DC the head of Dana White apologist club.
I think he’s blackballed because he never threw a punch in his fights
Dana got rid of Mighty Mouse. Dana takes ahit personal when it is just business
And anyone who knows,that can be a very weak position, its why there's unions.
