My company recently closed my entire division, which is ironic because it's an electromechanical service business, and I was the maintenance man.

Facts. Been an UFC fan for 30 years, have seen Danas work and interactions for 25 years. That's good he is. Been blessed to have met him and talked to him. Super down to earth guy.
This is how all bosses and owners treat employees that are well paid. It’s sad that most people don’t seem to realize that this is nothing special. Once you’re earning more than $100,000 a year and add value, people are going to be civil to you even if they are firing you and think you’re terrible at your job.
Danna is genuinely a good guy I remember I was waiting in line to get into a press conference in Brooklyn he came out his car and his security told him to go rite in and tried to push him in…. He said hold up!!!! And took pictures with everyone outside a true genuine good guy
That’s sucks. I’ve been an employee and owner - so on both sides. Almost everyone I have worked with treats their employees this way. What Dana is doing is nothing special. My advice, find an owner of a company who has this kind of culture. It’s better than getting paid a few more bucks.
My boss literally has a employee appreciation day. We norm go play paintball and have lunch.plus fully Paid day! You gotta find someone who appreciates you my boy

To come to an agreement it has to be mutual, in regards to pay and all the perks and benefits they’re offering in the contract. They can be friends and not see eye to eye with business. If they can’t separate business from personal lives, he doesn’t respect them 😂.

Dana literally created the current UFC. This investment in UFC by the furtito bro's was a Hail Mary throw to Dana.dana is why UFC exists and thrives. If Ultimate Fighter season 1 didn't blow the roof (Bonner and Griffin) off, Dana would be living in his car as EVERY penny was invested; people don't think of the "do or die" circumstances that Dana had on his plate. But he is a great owner, and he is the GOAT of GOATS as he treats everyone with respect -but you(fighters) must treat this job without excuses. You must treat your employees like they matter, etc. I would love to be Dana's personal 😊assistant as I like the way he carries himself etc. He is a great CEO, boss of all bosses et. Dana doesn't deserve the trash talk about fighter pay as I know it's a complicated issue. But I do feel that after a certain degree of success ( not just wins and losses but great battles,), including PPV sales, attitude,doing the media rounds with a genuine smile, and conducting oneself with integrity, being available to the fans(and media). I respect Dana for not putting up with nonsense and for not letting $ blind his morals ect. Guys like GSP are what I respect.
Met him on the glass elevators at palace station I was on coming from a 1 floor up it was me ,him and a engineer for the property we chatted for a bit the engineer was star struck so I said hey Dana congrats on the Merger and sale for Frittatas brothers and he said thanks man I appreciate hearing that this was back when it just went mainstream and they had states like NY not wanting it in there state etc and he looked right at me and said thanks sometimes it’s all haters trying to keep it out of mainstream events but when I hear from fans like you he said it’s worth all the shit and regulations that I have to put up with he shook my hand and we went or different ways .He seamed so happy to hear something positive and that made my day .

But if you say he's a greedy ass**le that don't treat people properly, then what are you doing?? You are trashing someone you don't even know. At least Dana made it because he focused on his goal. Even if he was truly an ass**le, anyone that works for him don't have a gun pointed at their heads. They make the choice to stay there. If they do for the money well thats on them, chosing money over well-being. Stop blaming everyone else. You and you alone is the master of yout destiny.
Hey manual don’t be a hater you’ll get your chance one day.lol. Or as a friend said after he read your comment there’s always some one That just can’t take seeing someone else talk about something positive.So in there irrelevant lives they have to talk shit.
No, they don't. That was a one time thing with one fighter. Stop acting like a child, seeing something once and in your head saying "it's always like this"
@@jamesjames6792 It happened to one fighter once. It was Johnny Walker. Dana wasn't aware of it, and everybody went on about it. This guy is talking out of his ass.
^ Dude that’s how business works. Dana is a boss and a leader. Without Dana the UFC would not exist, period. And even if it did still somehow find its way into existence without Dana, it would be NOWHERE as big as it is now.
Dana white’s a man. I’ve never met him but from watching his sponsored fights & interviews and from what people close to him say, he seem to an amazing friend and trustworthy business partner. What he’s gone thru his life he thought him to be humble & honest & there’s nothing better than being honest and sincere in life. So my daily & are huge fans of Dana… keep up the good work brother…
My primo didn’t get fired, he just came back from hand surgery took some time off, but lost his #15 welterweight ranking spot, was about to crack the top 10! He has been one of them guys to step up on such short notice if Dana needed! He’ll be back
Even the top draws don't get what they deserve when you compare it to what boxers get & its as popular if not more When you look at ppv sponsorship arena receipts on the big fights Dana certainly ain't potless especially when you see him dropping 50G bets at the casino
@@aliaswhatever Dana can shut down the whole thing and none of them get a thing. Seems fair to me. If it wasn't enough they wouldn't do it. Strikes do work
Dana acts like this pretty much all the time unless someone has pissed him off. The issue is that 90% of the time a camera is pointing at Dana because someone had just pissed him off.
Dana is a good friend of mine, Once i went on a vacation and i had car trouble, i called Dana and he said “Cheri cheri lady goin true emotions love is where u found it listen to your heart” I felt that Dana i’ll always remember yo and never forget your advice my dear close friend Respect
Khamzat Chimaev is one of my favourite fighters to ever compete in the UFC. I agree that he is one of the hardest workers in the gym, but it’s because of that inner drive that he has become so powerful. Injuries are part of the deal for professional fighters. Let’s hope that we get to see Khamza Chimaev make it all the way to the top,
He's a man of his word, except of course the countless times he's not kept his word and/or breached a ton of fighters "trust". Hell off the top of my head I can think of like 10 instantly, but I know it's a shit load more than that. What's worse is given his position, that should be something that RARELY if EVER happens. He's the only "President" of a sport that regularly spews his personal opinions about fighters/coaches/fight results/etc. It's not because he's "bad ass and tells it like it is", it's because he's unprofessional and thinks his opinion is somehow remotely relevant. But it's not, it's not worth anything more than yours or mine. He's just such a thin skinned douche, he feels the need to constantly interject that he thought "x was a bad decision", which only serves to stroke his ego, and probably negatively effect whatever fighter he felt lost. You don't see any other CEO or President of ANY sport acting the way Dana does. Unfortunately this extends to frequently bad mouthing fighters, often for the pettiest of reasons. Such as anyone who won't go out of their way (often at the risk of hurting ONLY themselves) to do for him (take fights on short notice, fight different opponent short notice, fight injured, etc) Sorry way longer than I intended and i've already trimmed it down twice. Be HAPPY to post examples for anyone that is interested/thinks I'm wrong. These vids are great to see of course, but they don't change the fact that he's basically every slimy boxing promoter stereotype rolled into one. Pretty pathetic when it's even in the title...."side of Dana White you don't often see"...and it's basically the rarity. Downright scummy when you could easily post 5 of him shit talking a fighter for every one of these types of vids
@@forevertoremain Francis was purely fcking greedy. He was offered the largest contract in HW history and declined. This is not a Dana issue, purely Francis’ fault
A lot of ppl think the fighters should go from 30k to 20 million in like 4 fights , its like half therse kids never worked a day in there life , most theese fighter’s on the upper half are making more then probably 95% of the ppl in this comment section
It's lonely on top, everyone is gunning for you it doesn't matter what you do someone gonna try and break you down. Been watching UFC since the Ken shamrock days and tank Abbot. The guy built an empire I got nothing but respect for him
I dont doubt that Dana is a real dude. He keeps everything on front street. Theres still a massive problem with fighter pay tho. Most of these guys are still getting paid 20/20 to fight, and thats corrupt.
@@johnjacobjingleheiner-schm2290 20k to show 20k to win. So 40k if you win before you pay 10-15% to your manager, 10% to your gym, and your taxes. It’s absolutely garbage pay.
He always been that way, man. If you watch those early TUF's, you'll know that Dana always acted like this towards the fighters that put on a show. Unfortunately for other fighters, UFC is a business. Those who don't bring enough money for the company will also not receive enough money.
Dana plays hardball and it’s his way or the highway. That being said he knows how to run things correctly and treat fighters fairly based upon the agreed terms.
@@joseamador5516agreed terms means that the “fighters” are agreeing to the terms.. so if the fighters are agreeing with the terms… why is everyone else upset about them.. makes no sense

Even if he was truly an ass**le, anyone that works for him don't have a gun pointed at their heads. They make the choice to stay there. If they do for the money well thats on them, chosing money over well-being. Stop blaming everyone else. You and you alone is the master of yout destiny.
Simp lol
Hey manual don’t be a hater you’ll get your chance one day.lol. Or as a friend said after he read your comment there’s always some one
That just can’t take seeing someone else talk about something positive.So in there irrelevant lives they have to talk shit.
Notice he is still dressed as he was in the octagon. They boot these dudes outside and say see ya 😂
lol damn. Can’t even watch the rest of the show or eat a cupcake or something? Damn
No, they don't. That was a one time thing with one fighter. Stop acting like a child, seeing something once and in your head saying "it's always like this"
@@jamesjames6792 It happened to one fighter once. It was Johnny Walker. Dana wasn't aware of it, and everybody went on about it. This guy is talking out of his ass.
@@iliilliliiliilliliiliillil9137 isn't this guy still in his shorts though lol
They do do this shit they done this to aljo as well it's crazy I'm thinking so they can use the room for another fighter
Dana is a pretty good guy. He loves making money and is a businessman .. he’s done more for the ufc than anyone else so he’s good in my book
This is the side you always see of Dana. He’s always bluntly real, honest and a genuine straightforward dude.
Thief and a pathological liar don't forget to add that if you are adding his key traits
😅 he's a scumbag.
😂😂😂😂
Like the Nate Diaz contract idk bro
Unless you’re his wife
I've learned to like Dana White the more I if I learned about him
Then you are the most gullible man on the planet…. The dude rips off his fighters.. while amassing a fortune over 300 million… keep liking him homeboy
me too. Only a great man slaps his wife. fantastic human bean
@@AA-bh3bz human 🫘 lmaooo
@@thesaintst1851 create ur own division and do it better than him if u can or stfu😉
@@AA-bh3bz fr. The world went to shit when men stop raining pimp slaps on these hoe.
Watch any podcast or listen to Dana speak, he shows this side of himself all the time
No one will ever replace Dana
A little respect and encouragement costs nothing but is valued by all!
Yeah like Dana White Respecting the fighter who puts his body and brain on the line. By paying him peanuts while White's pockets the lions share
The first part is what dana really cares about
A hug is priceless. Or rather, free. So Dana is generous with those.
I dont trust dana. You cant be this siccessfull without lying and stewkjng your way to the top
^ Dude that’s how business works. Dana is a boss and a leader. Without Dana the UFC would not exist, period. And even if it did still somehow find its way into existence without Dana, it would be NOWHERE as big as it is now.
Dana white’s a man. I’ve never met him but from watching his sponsored fights & interviews and from what people close to him say, he seem to an amazing friend and trustworthy business partner. What he’s gone thru his life he thought him to be humble & honest & there’s nothing better than being honest and sincere in life. So my daily & are huge fans of Dana… keep up the good work brother…
Dana White is a class act. Respect!
My primo didn’t get fired, he just came back from hand surgery took some time off, but lost his #15 welterweight ranking spot, was about to crack the top 10! He has been one of them guys to step up on such short notice if Dana needed! He’ll be back
Dana is a person, and a business man. Rare do you see both
?
Good person and business man?? You are very naive, dog father.
Its like having bipolar disorder
Very true, a successful business man will always be your friend until he don't need you anymore
Yea only on Camera 🎥
Other than that anyone is a nobody of camera to Dana.
Nah dude.. Dana is a real dude like that. He truly cares about the people he is in business with. He understands them !
I think it's normal to see Dana White showing gratitude and respect to fighters.
It is mind-blowing to see that people actually think all UFC fighters are being paid well. Only the top top level get paid.
Just like the NFL. And Dana is kying. He don't want him back
Lol
The white Don king
Even the top draws don't get what they deserve when you compare it to what boxers get
& its as popular if not more
When you look at ppv sponsorship arena receipts on the big fights
Dana certainly ain't potless especially when you see him dropping 50G bets at the casino
@@aliaswhatever Dana can shut down the whole thing and none of them get a thing. Seems fair to me. If it wasn't enough they wouldn't do it. Strikes do work
Dana is a true businessman and a genuine bloke.
😂
You can’t possibly think that, do you ?
Lmao
Who sleeps with his sister in law and female fighters haha, genuine man
@@DialogDontArgue is that really a big deal?
Dana acts like this pretty much all the time unless someone has pissed him off. The issue is that 90% of the time a camera is pointing at Dana because someone had just pissed him off.
🇵🇹 such a great tune!!
Best promoter! Hands down! 👊
Nah, Eddie Hearn is.
Paul bosche...boss of the them all .... Houston tx
Best wife beater
That dana that u do see
*throws johnny walker on the street.
Take it you've experienced that as well to care so much 🤣
@@AyoFace22 xD take it you know him to comment about his experience?????
DANA IS THE GOAT OF FIGHT BOSSES !!!
Dana is a good friend of mine,
Once i went on a vacation and i had car trouble, i called Dana and he said
“Cheri cheri lady goin true emotions love is where u found it listen to your heart”
I felt that Dana i’ll always remember yo and never forget your advice my dear close friend Respect
Khamzat Chimaev is one of my favourite fighters to ever compete in the UFC. I agree that he is one of the hardest workers in the gym, but it’s because of that inner drive that he has become so powerful. Injuries are part of the deal for professional fighters. Let’s hope that we get to see Khamza Chimaev make it all the way to the top,
What's that got to do with this video? 😂
D-Rod is gonna come back with so much vengeance it’s gonna be a great story watch, I’m calling it!
What has he done
he's going on 40...
Come back with vengeance or with steroids in his system...winner is steroids and he's gone cut after a failed drug test hindsight is always 20/20 tho
He is a man of his word, trust is earned
He's a man of his word, except of course the countless times he's not kept his word and/or breached a ton of fighters "trust". Hell off the top of my head I can think of like 10 instantly, but I know it's a shit load more than that. What's worse is given his position, that should be something that RARELY if EVER happens.
He's the only "President" of a sport that regularly spews his personal opinions about fighters/coaches/fight results/etc. It's not because he's "bad ass and tells it like it is", it's because he's unprofessional and thinks his opinion is somehow remotely relevant. But it's not, it's not worth anything more than yours or mine. He's just such a thin skinned douche, he feels the need to constantly interject that he thought "x was a bad decision", which only serves to stroke his ego, and probably negatively effect whatever fighter he felt lost. You don't see any other CEO or President of ANY sport acting the way Dana does. Unfortunately this extends to frequently bad mouthing fighters, often for the pettiest of reasons. Such as anyone who won't go out of their way (often at the risk of hurting ONLY themselves) to do for him (take fights on short notice, fight different opponent short notice, fight injured, etc)
Sorry way longer than I intended and i've already trimmed it down twice. Be HAPPY to post examples for anyone that is interested/thinks I'm wrong.
These vids are great to see of course, but they don't change the fact that he's basically every slimy boxing promoter stereotype rolled into one. Pretty pathetic when it's even in the title...."side of Dana White you don't often see"...and it's basically the rarity. Downright scummy when you could easily post 5 of him shit talking a fighter for every one of these types of vids
Dana's pretty cool with the fighters, dudes bailed alot of them out when they've been in trouble
That’s the fucking man keep up the good work Dana you an inspiration to me and to many young adults looking to make their dreams a reality 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Now picture Francis Ngannou's farewell. You'll see the other side of Dana White
Francis was asking for too much. So he left.
@@theforce5191 Dana is taking too much.
@forevertoremain we can't confirm that until we see what the profits/ expenses .
@@forevertoremain Francis was purely fcking greedy. He was offered the largest contract in HW history and declined. This is not a Dana issue, purely Francis’ fault
"I just wanted to say 'goodbye' before you left, alright.... but I'm still not going to pay you anything substantial or what you actually deserve."
U earn what u bring in . Period . This isn’t communist china . Capitalism baby get in some financial literacy classes
He made 80k losing this fight 😂 go get a hobby
A lot of ppl think the fighters should go from 30k to 20 million in like 4 fights , its like half therse kids never worked a day in there life , most theese fighter’s on the upper half are making more then probably 95% of the ppl in this comment section
okay comrade
Dana is a solid dude
It's lonely on top, everyone is gunning for you it doesn't matter what you do someone gonna try and break you down. Been watching UFC since the Ken shamrock days and tank Abbot. The guy built an empire I got nothing but respect for him
He is just happy that Rod did not stop the hype for the new star garry
We appreciate you very much🤔
And said goodbye 😂
If he didn’t appreciate him he would be Cut from the UFC.
@@briansegura7219 he’s 7-3 brian
@@briansegura7219 no he wouldn’t. Dudes got a solid record right now
That’s just the polite why to say
We set you up and thanks for helping us hype the other guy
Love a respect, it's something that we all need to get back to.

Respect is a two way street, and that's just how it is in almost everything else in life.
Give to receive.
I wish everyone understood that. And to be quite honest, I forget to show it sometimes as well
ReSpEcT yOuR eLdErS bOy. Nothing more annoying than this, lol.
Dana is loyal. That’s a trait most a lot of men don’t possess these days
He's what now?
"most a lot of men" ? lul
@@9bandit450 You noticed that too. Half the incomplete sentences on this page require deciphering. It's probably an early signature of CTE.
Loyal is one thing he is not 😂🤦🏻♂️
Loyal to his wallet and bank account.
A little appreciation goes A LONG WAY with alot of people.....and it's so easy....
Dana is a true boss
Rodriguez is an entertaining fighter to watch. Say what you will about Dana, but the man enjoys a good show.
he definitely seems like a better bloke than Don King
Talk about the "low bar".
Well that’s pretty easy to do considering Don King is a convicted killer.
a good boss must respects those who are working for him
Dana White doesn’t play but he is a soft person for people that put in the work!
I dont doubt that Dana is a real dude. He keeps everything on front street. Theres still a massive problem with fighter pay tho. Most of these guys are still getting paid 20/20 to fight, and thats corrupt.
Sorry to sound dumb. But what does getting paid 20/20 mean.?
@@johnjacobjingleheiner-schm2290 20k to show 20k to win. So 40k if you win before you pay 10-15% to your manager, 10% to your gym, and your taxes. It’s absolutely garbage pay.
I met him this past weekend in Karate Combat in Miami. Cool dude.
Did he beat your wife too? Or just his own??
Sure mydude!!
@@pcboy626 yea GSP Too
did you shine his knob?
Woman slapper
This is the work Dana puts in to be able to rip his fighters off 😭🤣
Saying, “I’ll be back Dog,” to your boss is fucking hilarious
A side not every fighter sees 😂
Your point of view is a side which no real mix martial artist sees
Dana’s been on his best behavior lately 😂
He always been that way, man.
If you watch those early TUF's, you'll know that Dana always acted like this towards the fighters that put on a show.
Unfortunately for other fighters, UFC is a business. Those who don't bring enough money for the company will also not receive enough money.
@@mags6946 wife beater
All that heat from slapping the dog shit out of his wife has turned him down a little
@@mags6946 I watched those early TUF's Dana threw a hissyfit everytime fighters asked to get paid to fight 😂
RESPECT IS THE FOUNDATION OF LIFE!!
Dana plays hardball and it’s his way or the highway. That being said he knows how to run things correctly and treat fighters fairly based upon the agreed terms.
Lol “based upon the agreed terms”. Screw business. Fighters make the business, without the fighters there is no business.
He forces you to use his terms out you get the boot. But if you accept his terms he obliges his agreement.
@@joseamador5516 I agree fighters need to hold firm for their value.
@@joseamador5516agreed terms means that the “fighters” are agreeing to the terms.. so if the fighters are agreeing with the terms… why is everyone else upset about them.. makes no sense
yeah , "agreed terms" Love the way you slipped that in there.
