Do you think the UFC should get involved in what Fighters Say?
www.mmaweekly.com/news/sean-strickland-and-dricus-du-plessis-come-to-blows-in-ufc-296-crowd
HELL NO,!!!!!!
Trump says he has found three alternative judges who will overturn the results in Colby’s favor. MAGA
No!!!!
😅i
You mean squash free speech like our government is doing? hell no. Karma took care of it and usually does.
so much respect to Leon for not getting emotional and controlling his corner. MMA fans may not love him because he’s not great on the mic, but he fights and carry’s himself like a true champion should
It’s absurd… when did ufc become wwe… why is “being good on the mic” a part of making it and being successful in the business. Great fighters being passed up so scumbags like Colby can be utterly racist and spread hate speech and lose every title shot he’s been given. Dana is really starting to bother me with the whole bringing trump in and giving him a walk out and camera time while he goes on podcasts and talks about how he can’t respect networks that use there platform to spread there political agenda… like bruh I voted for trump too but I’m tryna watch some fights and give props to the better fighter without being told I’m un American cause I don’t support Colby Covington it’s utter bs
@@jasondriscoll9507 Literally couldn't agree with you more. I think fans are finally moving past the gimmicks and the trash talk nonsense, because look at how popular Do Bronx, Aspinall, Poirier, Periera are and look at how hated Izzy, Colby and Garry are. People hate politics as long as they're not in line with what you say I feel, it's BS. Keep it to the honourable beautiful sport of MMA without the external nonsense. Don't listen to em bro
@@jasondriscoll9507just explain when tf was colby being racist? He Deffo goes too far but never heard anything racist from him.
@@sandeheh3371just explain when tf any such claim was made. Yt guilt much?
@@Saiyanshanze13 just read the dudes comment I responded to.
People have grown tired of the Mcgregor style of trash talk. It was entertaining at first, but in the long run it’s very toxic. I enjoy trash talk myself, but not when it’s centered around sensitive topics. Colby should’ve switched it up like Mayweather and fall back from all the trash talk. He’s still trying to sell himself as the “bad guy” when that style is already played out in 2023. It makes it look even worse when he wasn’t able to back it up against edwards.
Sean Strickland is easily the best trash talker in the sport. He’s insults people but none of his insults are actually personal unlike Covington’s or McGregor’s not to mention they’re both different people when the cameras are off unlike Strickland who’s just himself 24/7.
Connor trash talk worked when he was on top but when you start to loose its wierd. Colby is just desperate to make money he is willing to make a complete ass out of himself
Difference is Conor is clever with his trash talk Colby has a script and still messed it up
Some people, maybe. Trash talk still captures the wider publics interest. Look at how much attention Dricus vs Strickland is getting now and how many views that press conference had.
@@H.K.5no man that beats off cartoon is gonna beat me
I remember when martial arts were about discipline and respect.
Very true
Unfortunately it’s a circus now
That was especially true for Pride FC. The UFC gained that "redneck" appeal and atmosphere pretty quickly and the later developments were pretty much the logical consequence.
Oh shut it . At the end of the day people join martial arts for different motives. Most these MmA fighters are in it for the money at this point . Not because “they are true martial artist 🤡”
And all the female martial artists looking like porn queens on instagram.
This is why the Chinese never wanted their arts taught to westerners who lack the true discipline and code of honour.
I actually like trash talk, but that’s the kind of shit that is off limits. End of the day, Colby didn’t back up his “tough” talk when it came down to it. Big up Leon.
Sure you do but probably comments on hating black fighters talking trash. Sure, you do. Just go look at all the comments on all of Floyd Mayweather Jrs old fights. It's one group of people complaining. Two groups actually. Hypocrisy.
@@thedarksideoftheforce6658 thats a lot of words for a comment with no message
Bottom line is don’t cross that line that’s a no brainer if you have to talk about a deceased father for real.screw Colby beyond classless
he parades around ufc events wearing a maga hat, were you really expecting class?
@@BlitzkriegStaffords In real life you would be leaking.😅😂😂
@@user-eo9ht6li7g i don't know what reality you believe you live in but i am here, not leaking.
@@user-eo9ht6li7ghe would be leaking ? Lol in real life I GUARANTEE you’re a coward just from that response weirdo
@@user-eo9ht6li7g Huh?
Trash talking Colby Keebler lost, and decent Americans rooted for Leon. Let's make America honest, decent and tolerant. Colby you lost!
By honest, decent, and tolerant, you must mean allow men who identify as women to use the same bathroom as your daughter in preschool.
@@VidNibshighly doubt any adults would be using a children's bathroom in any preschool
@@yocray2915 he didn't say it was a bathroom at the preschool he was stating the daughter is in preschool and I agree with him it's not right
@@devonteforemanThat’s what he said- the same bathroom as your daughter in preschool. Syntax matters to people with a brain.
@@GoldBawls People with a brain don't support men dressed as women who use the same bathroom as little girls. Clearly the syntax is more important than the point for you.
Dana says he hates it when fighters physically attack eachother. But he's the one doing all the seating arrangements! So he sat Strickland right infront of DDP. How can he be such a hypocrite?
exactly
Cause he want that fucking green 🤑🤑
It’s called a “work”. 😂 are you being sarcastic? 😂😂
well when the commission is actively against it, its probably not a good business idea to say that you enjoy or purposefully do it
He is a joke. He is the real villain here. Its a MAGA man. You cant expect anything but ultra capitalism. He would sell his mother for money.
Colby is done. He has absolutely jumped the shark and we all need to stop paying attention to him.
The problem is, now more people will watch his fights to see him get his ass beat. Fans gotta be smarter and boycott like ur suggesting
@@anonanon1879Like my dad told me once “You can take a shit in the middle of the room, and I guarantee you somebody will look at it!”
Just curious what Dana's response would be...Had Leon didn't WIN and his corner reacted the same way?
Freedom of speech, pal. Love it or leave it. Covington has the freedom to ruin himself.
His point was would dana have the same energy if his champion was the dude that was talking abt family
Good question but I’ll tell you they had every right to react that way 👍
@@WorldravenNevar freedom of speech doesn’t make you free from consequences you are free to say what you want but you are also free to have to deal with whatever comes with what u say
Freedom of speech is one thing but when you get disrespectful with that freedom. that’s another thing he a piece of s it way to go Leon what you got to say now be ach👊
Colby definitely needs to tone down the bs and theatrics . It just makes you look worse when you lose .
He's washed up now anyway. Won't be around much longer
Leon got everyone saying 100 percent
Everyone deserves a title shot next
Yup, 100 percent of people are saying it
He didn't have a problem with Conor talking about Khabib's dad.
I mean Khabibs dad is alive
Exactly. F dana. This hypocrite.
@@marshallstowe3515not anymore but he was at the time
@@marshallstowe3515 he was*
Imagine if it was Khabib rather than Leon
😅😅
"Let's talk!"
Khabib is the GOAT
Game over 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Khabib would have tortured him for couple of rounds. Leon didn't do shit... Decision merchant
Uuuffff.....
They would’ve have to pry him off and then charge him for murder 👊🖕Cuntington
Should be renamed the make America lose again card.
Sounds good to me
Aaa yes the American company that built the fighters is losing
@@FM-dm8xj ain't no way you really misunderstood that
I love how, at the end, he says we do everything in our power to make sure that this doesn't happen. Okay, then where is the fine??? Where is the punishment??? Of course there's none because they truly want this to happen.
He is the biggest problem of all this circus. Like putting Dricus and Sean seats close enough to have an altercation and not doing anything about it. A real president would ban , cancel, fine or retire Sean´s belt. That´d be beautiful to watch and to see people learning their lessons. Its freaking embarrasing. Dana White is the biggest joke of all this.
I was literally thinking the very same
Hell yeah they do you're here because it works!!!
It sells the fights and these types of things are what go viral.
Dana White is back pedaling. If it's Gregor McConor trash talking, Dana White it's very Ok.
Dana White can easily set out rules about trash talk being off limits to family, but you'll notice he carefully acknowledges it, but refuses to do anything about it. He actually grins a bit. Any hype and drama is more money in his pocket. He's also full of it when it comes to drama at press conferences. He's been front and center smiling between the fighters when they try and come at eachother. This guy is such a politician.
Be professional at all times 😊 its a sport .
You do everything in your power to make sure it does not happen like sitting Strickland next to Dricus bravo guys way to put forth the effort 👏 just be real you’re in the business of fighting all the drama and altercations generate ticket and and pay-per-view sales.
Backwards ass answer at 1:15. “100% yeah…no I don’t ever tell anybody what to say” 😂🤣😂
Conor: "Ya wife is in me DM's!"
Dana: "Isnt he just f*cking awesome?"
To be fair Dana was critical of Conor when he said that too. He didn’t defend him
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
"We don't like this stuff"
Shows multiple angles of the Strickland and Du Plessis scuffle on PPV.
Its only ok for conor to go after family.
He didn't mind MC tapper going after khabib dad tho did he 😂
Dana: We do everything in our power to make sure this doesn't happen
Also Dana: Have Dricus sit right behind Sean Strickland and put the camera on them
1:26 Dana might not love it, but doesn't mind when it does lol
He also didn't say a damn thing about dricus saying he'd abuse Sean like his father did but everyone is coddling the drug dealing crybaby son like his father wasn't a giant piece of shit ruining his community. Yall need to get a damn grip and stop being such bitches about everything
Yes because he respects freedom of speech and isn’t going to censor anyone he treats everyone the same in that regard and that’s why 99% of fighters love to work for him
@@sinistersagenessfreedom doesn't mean be an asshole
I have freedom of expression to burn the flag if I want to but that don't make it right
@@sinistersagenessHow old are you ? 12 ? Freedom of speech doesn't mean to act like a total piece of crap.
@@sinistersagenesssure you have it, but don't be surprised if you get popped for it🤷🏾♂️
Dana doesn't care about the fighters whatsoever.
There has to be a line on what can be said on the UFC platform.
Family and slurs should be off limits.
The beauty of the UFC/MMA is that no matter how much vile shit you said about someone, come Saturday night you’ll either have to back up all the shit you said or pay the price.
There’s so many different ways to talk trash without mentioning someone’s family members. At work we all talk trash to each other but never cross the line with disrespecting family members
Dana doesn't get enough credit for expecting a level of decency from the fighters. Some trash talk is really off limits.
"Money changes everything" - Dana White
And then i'm here, watching connor's interviews when Dana was there too, with a huge big smile on his face. I'm glad he worked this whole MMA things out for us but he cant lie to our face and say " I dont enjoy it ". He did, maybe he still does but he cant lie to us about that.
I needed to hear that
“We do everything in our power to make sure this stuff doesn’t happen” isn’t this the same press conference he said he sat Strickland next to DDP? Lol
Conor McGregor is the reason that only the most toxic and disrespectful personalities get the most push everyone is trying to be McGregor and the worst part is? Dana is completely okay with it cause he is so desperate to recreate what he had with Conor back in 2016 to the point where no matter what the fighters say as long as they are talking shit he will give them opportunities that most of them don't deserve and that's why I don't like the UFC anymore cause everybody wants to shit talk and do the absolute most just to get payed. Also I blame the fans cause they aren't any better than Dana .
It’s WWF now. Soap opera for men
Preach 🙌
Colby is in a tough spot now, where does he go from here? He lost his 3 title shots getting dominated this last one. And this comment about Leon’s father is universally despised so I’m sure he’s gonna lose a lot of support. I’m not sure what he does now going forward…
Colby words are despised but his Leon's father wasn't? Look up gangs in Jamaica and what they do then tell me any words that Colby could ever say justify anyone giving two shots what he says about a low life. Smh, mma is full of soft smooth brained pussies
Better if he'd just retire
He doesn’t give a f because he has trump on his side …and under the trump rules, or lack of, anything goes!
@@JeezWhiz1 Oh my goodness
Probably goes to jail with his Orange Jesus.
Crapping on a fellas dead father is as low as it gets.. Just sayin.
Waste of money card. Mitchell, Ferguson, Covington....very disappointing. At least 2 of the 3 should retire.
Loved seeing bryce get his lights put out. Delusional Maga fighters taking Ls is the best.
Fr they need to get rid of 125 men’s that shit boring asf
@@RedceLL1978 lmao
Dana talking about family is hilarious to me. The man doesn't have a relationship with his mother (his own mother says he's a bad person) and he's on video slapping the shit out of his wife. What does he have to say about family???
He says it once again though. I DO NOT TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT SAY". This guy is the real deal. What's going on with these fighters is gonna be important to keep an eye on this year in tandem with the political ongoings.
There was a time when someone like Colby would never be allowed to learn the arts. Now they'll let anyone learn. He's exceedingly disrespectful and undisciplined.
Don't TRASH TALK OPPONENTS FAMILY MEMBERS! GOLDEN RULE! AMEN 🙏
Colby is the guy to go after families, wouldn't be suprised if homie gets hurt one day he did it with Masvidal aswell & broke his jaw but was too chicken shit & pressed charges
Dude cheap shot him. He had twenty five minutes to handle his shit. He didn’t. Also he is a shit bag father. Both our BS men. Have them holding my pocket. AB for life. But hey 👋 do you. 😂
Whether you like or hate Colby the guy is definitely consistent well except with where it actually counts
(winning fights)
I had always hoped that the UFC would become a top class Professional Organization in the World of Sports but that clearly is not going to happen. Unfortunate.
thats not what White said when McGregor when after family of khabib
Make it a rule. No family used for media bulkshyt or mind games.
So much respect for Dana. How many years successful?? 10-20… that’s McMahon level
Leon: "It was worth it."
just remember, you think the way you think cause one side lost and the other side won
Good to see Dana looking less red
He's never spoken out against it when Connor McGregor does it
Why isn’t there a code of conduct on what you can say? If you don’t like this kind of talk then do something about it.
Dana has to make something into the contract certain things don’t and can’t be said
It still happens, but I happy for leon win and prove to he passed father .🎉
Colby is an absolute prick. Leon destroyed him and kept his dignity intact.
“What i say is true” love vs. greed
"Your wife's in me DM's" 😂
Hey babyyyyy 😂😂😂😂😂
His stock is at zero......a big fat L ....on every level.
I almost guarentee that Dana is coaching Colby to say this crap to boost sales.
So what’s the consequence for Colby? Nothing?
So the black guy gets reprimanded??😅😅😅😅
He beat Colby up too much. Trump didn’t like that
Bro please don’t turn this into a race thing. Jones ran over a pregnant lady and he got away with it.
Dana, I think the answer is to start giving fines and suspensions when fighters cross lines like that. No professional sport would allow it without some penalty. I'm all for trash talk it's entertainment not when it's about family and religion should be off-limits.
Soy boi
That's because Colby and Dana are from the same cloth. He won't do it.
@@dafuq524 Then give fighters the green light and allow them to go for eachother's throat at press conference. A true soy boy move would be running your mouth behind the security and blanket provided by the organization, don't you think? Knowing that opposite fighter can't do any harm to you while you running your mouth like the gentlemen in question did. A true b*tch move.
Antifa here,soi boi
thats bullshit. The fighters can say whatever they want. No reason for the ufc to create a speech police to protect peoples feelings
What about Dricus bringing up Stricklands dad? That was even lower in my opinion.
What exactly did he say
@@Rationalist101 I'm not gonna repeat it, but you can look up the video yourself. During the last press conference they were at.
@@sonofamountie Okay
I didn't hear him talk like that after conor trash talked khabib's father
Dana needs to pull his head out and reject anybody that acts this way in the UFC or anywhere.
What about Connor going after Khabibs family and Dustin's wife?
Conor owns Dana to be fair that's why Dana won't say anything about him
Why is it always nice all week then rains all weekend? Not fair
Did it bother Dana when Connor said something similar to Khabib?
Not sure if some of you grew up impoverished or not but there are certain outside forces that push someone to live the “Gangster” lifestyle. Some times people have to do whatever it takes to provide for their family. Corporations really are no different from Organized crime syndicates if we’re going stat for stat.
I mean the reality is that people want to give so much sympathy and understanding for criminals that they often forget the people who have suffered from them. I can tell you I don't care about somebody's hard life .... there will never ever be a reason why you should prey on the innocent. Having said that, I am sure these are thoughts that Leon has had to endure in his life and Covington dragged it into the public to make it a spectacle. It really wasn't something that was any of his business and he on the backdrop dug up some excuse of pretending care about the victims of the gang lifestyle.
@@theone3136 There’s also people who suffer from the hands of the things that Big Pharma, Military Government’s & Corporate entities have played a part in. It’s all the same man.
@@theone3136yea dude the mafia basically ran America’s government at some point or had their hands on a lot of our public interest. I think OP is pointing out the fact that they’re similarities between small gangs and big corps
Corporate will backstab you quicker than any criminal enterprise
@@Juan_deepNot really.
Dana should ban or cancell those kind of behaviours. Like Sean Srickland assaulting Dricus.
No one can take this sport seriously because of UFC. Its a a freaking horror circus.
Hmm... Alright Mr White. I see you.
You do some questionable things in my opinion regarding fighters and the company.
But this right here we can agree on.
Much love and respect for your stance on this matter.
Colby's got this character that's not only not funny to watch, but can seriously turn out to be his death sentence some day. He needs to rethink his life/career choices next time he opens his mouth!
Colby is a clown, Leon made him look mediocre.😂
How come he never commented on the things mcgregor said to khabib?they were waay worst things he said.
What Dana was really trying to say is, I don't care.
Dana loves it
Family? Didn’t see you admonishing McNugget for talking smack about Poiriers wife
dont want that stuff? says the guy putting dricus and sean just behind each other :))
"One of the things I really don't like is family". We all know that, Dana... We saw the Mexico video!
such a shame Dana allows this type of trash talk to continue in UFC. Whats next? trash talking peoples kids? This is distasteful
Dana hates when you go after family… but he doesn’t care when conor does 😂
Buddy Conner can do any and everything he wants we all know this Dana kinda owes it to him since he blew the sport tf up
@@dasmed1064 he don’t owe him shit he made conor not the other way around 😂
Yea right!
Trash talk is childish. Just rock up and punch on.
Things of that nature should be addressed by you, and they should carry some type of penalty rather, it means not being able to compete for a title at all or a fine. Because we all come from different backgrounds and where I'm from things like that will get you killed. But I guess that's what it may take in order for you to get things like that under control Dana. Because at the end of the day, it's still a sport.
Sure..how did Conor enter backstage to throw the chair at the bus then w/o security letting him in..?
Didnt say that in the day with conor 😂
Dana loves all trash talk, he openly said himself that pay for view buys went up 25% at the time of the comments. Now he changes his mind?
You're a good man Dana
Dana White : I went in there and told him " hey you won, you won"
Also Dana White :I don't tell people what to say . 😂😂😂😂
And he isn't telling people what to say in the first line..
He’s ass backwards. No penalty for what you say to antagonize someone and create revenue, but highly discourage the person antagonized from talking back. If they talk back it makes UFC look bad, and he is also genuinely concerned they will break the law in criminal retaliation and doesn’t want the UFC blamed. He thinks fighters need to learn to play ball with this cornball method of advertisement.
Said the man that smacked his wife… 😂
Ultimate Feelings Championship
Why is he only bashing Leon? Telling him and his corner to keep it down…..
Because he's black.
He doesn’t like when you go after family. But he likes to slap around his own family. Bing bong..
That was for promotion.
Why Dana white got covington even fighting for the belt. He hasn't compete to get that opportunity
Dana is a shark he has the power to stop it by punishing fighters but the truth is he doesn't care
This is what happens when you are trying too hard to be "that guy".
Sack up and fine Covington or suspend him. This is such a bad look for the UFC.
