Perhaps part of the reason Dana is so vocal about her opinions is because she doesn’t really care what her opponents have to say, and also, she’s been proven right. During the first two years of the UFC, the sports media was destroying them, labeling them ‘barbaric’ and ‘disgusting’. Well, the UFC has now become a multi-billion dollar entity.
Furthermore, there’s no doubt that White’s determined insistence on having fans in attendance set the stage for the rest of the sports world to follow (albeit slowly) his lead. Sports fans will remember that even abroad baseball games had fans separated and seated in rows apart from each other. That was months after the UFC was already hosting fully-attended events of inside arenas That’s another win for Dana.
Anyone who follows the UFC or just sports in general understands the personality of Dana White. Fans of him love his ‘no holding back, what you see is what you get’ approach. His critics can’t stand it.
