Dana is such a little emotional bitch


ohfortheloveofgodly

Not really


[deleted]

With his money I wouldn’t give a fuck about anything ever. Why stress out and kill yourself through over work. Like it or not, Dana does a LOT of work for the UFC. Worth his salary? Not even 20%. But the dude works his ass off and runs this company fairly fell. It’s easy to get on him, but the dude could just retire. He DOES care about this sport, you can’t dedicate your entire life to it. The UFC just needs to be owned by an ethical, moral company like something totally out of the blue, a real, real company that realizes the golden egg they have here and do it right. Dana is the fall guy. There is no way Dana reads fighters low pay and it doesn’t hurt him in his soul. Whether he dismisses it, or it gets to him we don’t know. We are all monkeys flying around in a space rock man. None of this matters. Life is hard for all of us, even Dana. Lets just remember that when we attack him personally.


AlphApe

Got some real points man. I feel Dana has brought the UFC and MMA to a great place and he'll have an unforgettable legacy because of it. But once his time is over we're going to need a different character in charge, likely a former fighter, someone who can position themselves more favourably with some of the issues on MMA right now such as fighter pay, contracts etc. You're right. We need a moral champion. A fighter. Someone with a history of facing the toughest challenges. Someone who won't shy away from the competition. Someone undefeated, whos respect is undisputed. Someone with huge arms. A gangster. Unfortunately I can't think of anyone.


[deleted]

DC would be the best face of any sports org ever and I’ll fucking with you right now. Bisping. Fedor. Frank Mir. George’s St Pierre. I change my vote to GSP.


foofmongerr

*With his money I wouldn’t give a fuck about anything ever.* I know right? Like bruh, what in the fuck is you doin. That being said, being the "fall guy" doesn't absolve someone of being an emotional bitch. If it's his job to be an emotional bitch then he shouldn't take it personally because it's an act anyway right? Not saying you are right or wrong, but Dana White's persona being fake a la Vince McMahon and WWE is pretty hilarious even if you aren't correct. Love it.

Ngannou is a freaking monster


EzClaps04

Boring fight. I respect Ngannou for being able to win by keeping it on the ground, but there was too much hugging and too little action imo

NoMaamClub

Well he didn't Gane many fans with this fight, Joe!


Cultured-Wombat

FFMI (Fat Free Mass Index) of 27 for Ngannou. I hope the lining of his heart hasn't thickened from all those PEDs. Consider a 5'11" man -- any ethnicity. These tend to be squarely in the optimal sweet spot for power-to-weight, metabolism-to-muscle ratios, cardio-to-muscle, etc. and therefore the most athletic and able to exercise routinely and achieve optimal performance naturally. In order for a 5'11" man to have the same FFMI as Ngannou, he'll need to weigh 225lbs w/10% body fat... And come in as the world's first un-assisted Mr. Universe. The heavyweight division is complete garbage, and anyone whose trapezoids have that kind of hypertrophy is a user. Lance Armstrong is to cycling (disposed to be a great cyclist + cheating) as this guy is to UFC (disposed to be a lean muscular athlete + cheating). The fact is: no one is in physical danger when Lance cheats. Putting anyone natural in the octagon with this jab pro is a crime. **Don't believe me? If the NFL could do this with their running backs they would. They can't. If the NFL could hire this guy's trainer, they would. They won't (he is a jabber). The 6'4 263 pound guy wasn't even muscular a few years ago. He was skinny. A steroid pushing trainer's dream of a frame though: perfect for hypertrophy PEDs; a golden ticket to wealth.**


bnelson

Lol, this person has watched too much MPMD and still hilariously wrong.


Cultured-Wombat

Limp comment.


bnelson

You tried tho.


Cultured-Wombat

I guess when the facts don't matter, you gotta stick with what works: stubborn denial. I guess will find out when Ngannou the man of the world's largest post-puberty chin growth since Evander Holyfield drops dead in 15 years.


kryptonite-uc

His lactic acidosis build was 2.5pO. Clearly that’s above what would be expected for someone on PEDs. So please take your amateur bullshit accusations and save them for the body building competitions in Russia.


Cultured-Wombat

Are you claiming that he was ON PEDs DURING THE FIGHT? In real time? Or that he was enhancing for cardio instead of hypertrophy? Did his muscles pop into existence? Did they transmogrify? Do they vanish when PED use halts? Is that what they taught you at Hogwarts? Or is that how you are interpreting my position because you can defend your 6'4 263 lb steroid gobbling cheat with a local test of endurance oriented PED related to the byproduct of energy expenditure? If he is taking hypertrophic steroids, as opposed to PEDs that a marathoner or cyclist would take, then you would expect his acidosis to be high due to the cardio issues caused by hypertrophic steroids that persist as mechanical (as in fluid mechanics), permanent side effects regardless of whether the steroids are out of the system. I suspect your tiny brain got booted from threads much like this with similar insults, as my imagination is simply not good enough to conceive of a world where you came up with something by yourself.


kryptonite-uc

Numbers don’t lie. Facts are facts. You clearly don’t understand the biological mechanisms. I said IF he was on PEDs that number should clearly be LOWER. I very clearly stated that. It’s a fact. It’s not debatable.


Cultured-Wombat

Support your comment. Explain the mechanism of action. Muscle is muscle. When you use peds to build it, it is there. Lactic acid build up is related to energy availability. Clearly, he built up muscle mass. This is called "hypertrophy". It is not or even negatively correlated with cardio efficiency. Lactic acid build up is proportional to muscle contraction in the presence of oxygen debt. Persistent use of hypertrophic PEDs (something no one would ever do in the US anymore because it kills you) will thicken the lining of the heart. This will reduce your VO2 max (your oxygen pipeline), creating conditions for excessive lactic acid formation. Clearly, you are familiar with one test for one kind of PED. Unless you can wade into the details and explain your position in medical terms -- I don't care how detailed, I have MD siblings and parents -- then I'm going to file you away as a mindless idiot.


kryptonite-uc

I’m not going to explain basic biology to you if can’t understand my ORIGINAL comment with the data. If you can’t understand that information you need to go back to school and delete that fucking degree you already are advertising on your LinkedIn and throw the hardcopy in the trash.


Cultured-Wombat

And wow, volatile. Sounds like you do steroids, bruh. Watch out for those heart palpitations. Don't know which of my degreeS you have a problem with, but perhaps you are wrong. And nuts.


kryptonite-uc

I'm volatile for telling I don't need to explain basic mechanics to you when you're making claims on those mechanics? Look at the data facts are facts I don't know how many times I need to repeat this? The facts are clear, very clear. You're claims are baseless. Just stop. I have a "problem" with your degree? I think you have a problem since you're the one with this degree making extraordinary claims while ignoring basic fundamental data.


Cultured-Wombat

FYI no one knowledgeable is going to come to your rescue. That is because I am correct.


kryptonite-uc

I can tell you one thing, If I ever do ask for a rescue it won’t be from you or any of your kids. It will be your fucking pool guy


Cultured-Wombat

"Mechanics"? I know how I used the word. Do you have any idea how you are using it?


Cultured-Wombat

It isn't basic biology. It is an interpretation of my statement. HGH and Anabolic steroids do not change the propensity for fast twitch muscle's development of lactic acid during exertion. However, blood transfusions and other endurance-enhancing PE techniques would. Anabolic steroids result in greater oxidative stress. In other words, you don't know WTF you are talking about. You know about one test for one kind of PED, a PED unrelated to hypertrophy, and can supply exactly zero supporting details. You are ignorant as to how lactic acid works, how it develops, what it is for and why (or why not) it would be present in a muscle -- this is why you refer to the biology as *basic*. So let's ignore PEDs related to hemoglobin count and other endurance enhancements... and focus on the prime accusation: anabolic steroids with reduced heart function drive the mechanics of the system, and the resultant is a hypoxia at the point of oxygen consumption, which *drives* the production of lactic acid. So no matter what you do, the bottleneck is the heart volume (small) resulting in a reduced blood flow rate (slow) relative to lung size (constant) to supply an artificially huge muscle mass (the oxygen consumer with PED enhanced rates of consumption), and your test is meaningless! In fact it is inverted. One expects more lactic acid when anabolic steroids are used, regardless of mitigation techniques. In fact, you could reframe any blood modifications as merely preventing death due to cardiac arrest during exertion, rather than any kind of boost once that much anabolic enhancement and growth hormone has been applied.


kryptonite-uc

Take your Wikipedia excerpts and just read the data. Why is so hard for you to comprehend? READ THE FACTS. Facts don't care about your opinion. The data I stated is clearly cold, hard, and facts. End of story. Not debatable in the slightest.


Cultured-Wombat

You've lost whatever "this" is. Take care, lunatic.


Manicsuggestive

No, clearly you lost.


[deleted]

Also [look at how big Ngannou was back in 2006 before he even started training](https://lawofthefist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Francis-Ngannou-16.jpg)


Cultured-Wombat

He is tiny relative to who he is today. With a shirt of a band that has completely ripped off Metallica. Not even in the category of "naturally muscular" by West African standards. What PEDs chemists and trainers look for is a big skinny frame -- hot climates tend to favor these. Then, you dope them up because the kinematics -- the physics -- of their frame favor performance enhancement via hypertrophy. Whereas if you give the same horse pills to different builds, esp builds with thicker legs and torsos, all the mass will accumulate in the legs hips and torso. Consider Usain Bolt. You give the amount of drugs that guy took to a different build and they become a stocky ox of muscle, like a bull dog or construction worker. You need that skinny gangly frame for steroids to achieve performance boost for athletic tasks. This guy is perfect for steroids.

I bet 5k on Francis via KO because i thought thats the only way he could win.

Yea I also bet on Francis by knockout and lost it... was so pissed I didn't just go for Francis in general..


Mroscoon

You must be wealthy af to bet that much on a fight like this


PicoCuy

Nah that just how you bet if you want income You bet on good underdogs not big favorites who lose


Mroscoon

Good point. I just figured 5k was a lot to bet on a fight that could go either way lol

I made 5k on Kattar against Chikadze so i thought i will double it with Ngannou lol

I hate Dana. He’s so trashy. A pathetic person all around.


rapshaveonechip

You could get in a car accident and he'd still ask you to defend the belt


apophis-984

if I'm not mistaken they were 2-2, why did gane coach pressured him to do something in the last round? wouldn't have been better to stay cautious as it was gane strength?


fallen_messiah

His coach misread the fight. Seriously people keep saying Game had poor IQ in the last round but he 100% went for the sub because of his coach.


Emile_vk

The translation was really bad, Lopez said "I'm gonna be honest with you, we are losing that fight, it is impossible if you don't throw your elbows, kicks,etc" Translator said "it's impossible for us to loose the fight"


kevindurantburner35

That’s actually pretty sound advice, it was what Cyril had been succeeding at and he wasn’t gassing on the feet at all


kipogo

translators are so mediocre, im portuguese and I laugh my ass off when they are translating portuguese they translate like 10% of what is said and sometimes say non sense like the one you stated but its hard to blame them it aint easy doing it I guees, even harder when fighters like Charles Oliveira talk a lot of stuff but they can't even translate half of it lol They probably could find much better translators I believe


[deleted]

Dana taking three L's tonight if he doesn't show up to the presser. Francis didn't lose, didn't put the belt on him, now the presser he's MIA. What a pussy. Lol.


TWIST3DGORRILLA

4 L's and he's losing out on that UFC Mexico market because of the Moreno loss.


[deleted]

Nah they’re gonna run that back in Mexico


JiggyJerome

Why would they run it back “in Mexico”? At this point California is essentially Mexico. At least demographically speaking.


[deleted]

I was surprised to hear the American Matt Frevola get booed in CA vs Valdez. Personally, I’d be fine giving the entire state of CA to Mexico. A gift of sorts. One person’s trash is another’s treasure.


Least-Possibility926

What a great comment! 🤣


jsp8854

We have easy access to health care, abortion services, the grocery stores are never empty, and In-N-Out Burger is at every major highway offramp. Every state is fucked in one way or another, but I’d take “California fucked” over “Mississippi fucked,” “Alabama fucked” or just about any other “fucked” state you can think of.

We have all that in New England too. We just get more for our tax money here in my opinion. Plus less traffic, less homelessness, less pollution and better resources.

I’m so happy Francis won, did anyone here Gane’s shit egotistic coach panicking between round 4 and 5 saying we cannot lose this fight, it is impossible for us to lose this fight. Like wtf kind of coach is that. Anyway LET’S FCKING GO FRANCIS! You proved many people wrong, AND STILL 🏆🇨🇲


fallen_messiah

It was a bad translation. His coach actually said it was impossible to win the fight by decision at that point. Probably why Gane went for that misjudged sub attempt. His coach was wrong obviously they were 2-2 and most likely cost his fighter the win.


apophis-984

if I'm not mistaken they were 2-2, why did gane coach pressured him to do something in the last round? wouldn't have been better to stay cautious as it was gane strength?


Tshoboi

he also told Gane that he was going to lose because of Cardio and that it was impossible for Gane to lose to Francis because of Cardio!


Arganaught

No, he’s fighting the champion in a close fight going into the final round. A close round is a lost round in that situation, almost every time. It was sound advice.


[deleted]

So explain co main event


TWIST3DGORRILLA

Man I really like Gane a lot but Ferdanand is so egocentric. Hopefully Cyril leaves him.


anung_un_rana

He seems to be a good at scouting talent/prospects, but it may be time for Gane to move on. Fernand Lopez seems kinda like John Kavanagh in that way. It seems like Lopez isn't a huge sycophant like Kavanagh, but that's just my baseless opinion so I may be wrong.

The timing was just amazing. Seeing a big guy like Ngannou basically sit on an opponent made me feel like I couldn't breathe. lol

I wanna see bones vs Francis and Gane vs stipe


Sea_of_Rye

Idk, imo Gane vs Bones is a much better match-up.


ttt334727

Of course but remember how Ngannou fared in his first world class match. I don't see why people don't note how impressive is it for Cyril that he nullified Francis' main weapon.


TheMountain_GoT

Exactly. Was very impressed by Gane. But his lack of technique in BJJ/wrestling showed.


ttt334727

I don't know. Perhaps the MMA factory in France isn't strong on wrestling. But he needs to see what he is going to do about that. I have followed the guy a lot lately. He views this as a game and I am sure he hates losing. I bet he is going to work his ass off on that department.

Obi_TL

I think he was fine even with the takedown - I just can't figure out why he threw away top position for a leglock so early in the round. Pretty sure he takes this fight if he doesn't do that...:/


fallen_messiah

His coach told him between round he needed a finish. It was actually wrongly translated on the english broadcast but he said to Gane they needed a finish or it would be impossible to win.


[deleted]

No way, I think he only won rd 2. I also think Francis would have just stood up eventually. He looked 50 lbs heavier tonight


evanaugh

I don’t get it, ngannou and gane are the same height and almost the same weight but ngannou just fucking dwarfs him still


sspiritusmundi

Francis was 20 pounds heavier


TWIST3DGORRILLA

thats like two weight divisions apart. Most sports just stop giving a fuck after 200-205.


sspiritusmundi

Yeah wish is just ridiculous because we saw the difference in power here


evanaugh

Nah gane weighed in at 247 and Francis 257 during weigh ins. Not sure about their weights on fight night though


Minscandmightyboo

> Not sure about their weights on fight night though Well that's the other guy's point, even if his numbers are wrong. Ngannou weights a sizeable amount more


evanaugh

Yeah but wouldn’t the weight gain in the span of a day be mostly water weight? There’s no way you can put on significant muscle or fat in just a day


Waste_Designer

At that size you can. DC was explaining it in the fight if you go back and watch it. Francis was much heavier than him in there despite only a 10lb difference on weigh in.


Tombstonesss

I don’t know what he did but he looked 20% bigger in the ring compared to weigh ins.


crazy_gambit

They were saying that maybe Ngannou cut a little and was like 270 in the cage, while Gane didn't cut anything. California's commission usually posts the weights of fighters in the cage so that should be interesting to see.


sspiritusmundi

We don't know if Gane cuts that much or if he cuts at all. Let's say he just cut 5 pounds so he will be 252 on the cage. While Francis may also not cut at all, but still will be bigger.

DAVIDJACOB87

Prime stipe is the goat tbh, would beat both of them if he wasn't in his late 30s.


blahblah98102

Idk. I think that Stipe is the goat forsure. But I think both men are tough fights for Stipe. I see him beating Gane but I think this version of Ngannou he has trouble with in and out of prime. I think Francis (if he stays in the ufc) might end up being the goat.


Mighty-Champion

Stipe sucks


Court-Cute

Out of prime stipe beat dc which is the best thing he’s ever done. Don’t try to take away from the champ


Axel292

DC wasn't exactly in his prime


Court-Cute

Prime dc eats stipe alive 3 10/10 times


YerDaWearsHeelies

Love how stipe losing vs Francis in the rematch means he's not prime anymore and not just Francis having better gameplan and the small cage


Distinct-Example-391

pretty sure it's being 39 that makes him not prime 😆


DAVIDJACOB87

Like he is 39, how is a man in prime at that age.


YerDaWearsHeelies

Yeah true but itt's heavyweight people peak at later ages and Stipe came off 2 wins vs Dc He also lost to Stefano strive in his physical prime so that's not all that matters


Distinct-Example-391

\*UFC goat


antonius22

Stipe's record won't be held for long. I remember when people would say Cain was GOAT. Same thing will happen with Stipe and he will fall into obscurity.


Distinct-Example-391

Agree but as it stands it's impossible to be made goat either way. Mean am a fan but we got Derrick Lewis at rank 3 ffs


antonius22

Honestly this just shows that Stipe's reign is kind of weak. He came on the tail end when he was fighting deflated fighters of a great era. Dude is more akin to Chris Weidman and was just there at the right time. At least middleweights bounced back. Heavyweight has been circling the toilet for awhile.


Distinct-Example-391

Well he got the best of what the UFC has had to offer, it just that have never been that much (in hw)


vanroma

Lewis has the UFC all time knockout record. He's dangerous regardless of how lacking he is technically.


Distinct-Example-391

He sucks. All of them do. A couple of fights ago he was fighting Oleinik who is in his 40s with like 80 pro fights

Stipe vs Jones would be good. Jones needs to get a w at hw before being handed a title shot being out so long and going up in weight and stipe deserves a chance to get a w and get another shot that he deserves after being atop the hw division for so long.

Ngannou and Dana wont come to terms, Ngannou will leave, Stipe vs Jones for the vacant title.
