I really don’t think I’m being hypercritical in saying the latest string of interviews with Dana White were extremely frustrating to watch. We learned absolutely nothing. It’s the apathy—he literally couldn’t care less. Again, I’m not trying to be that guy, but I couldn’t believe how disconnected and disinterested... he seems in the product.show more

His interview with Spinning Backfist was very good. You are just bitter because he doesn't want to talk to you.

He doesn’t have to sell the fights anymore, he’s getting a guaranteed check from paramount no matter how many people watch, same thing happened to wwe , they got lazy

We need this guy to bring the love back to the fights

Nonchalant Dana White is the worst

He’s pissed that he’s finally going to have to admit Power Slap has been a colossal failure soon

I don't like Ariel that much but he's spot on here.

The product is also at its lowest point in the past 20 years. 🤷‍♂️

Ariel’s Dana criticisms have mostly annoyed me over the years but he’s 100% right. Dana gives zero fucks and is totally just phoning it in. It’s a tough watch. Almost unprofessional

Isn’t it as simple as he doesn’t need to promote anymore? They don’t have PPVs, their TV money is guaranteed. It’s Paramount’s job to promote now.

Definitely doesn’t give a shit anymore. Used to be his life but he’s done

One small nitpick: You should never call a real sport a "product." Yes, I know you're not alone in saying that, but it devalues the sport. A product is something that is manufactured; products are not spontaneous. Sports are, regardless of how much they're marketed and packaged.

Obviously the ufc has things they need to do better but I think the average fan is getting fatigued by ufc media consistently hating on everything surround the brand and product. Maybe it’s just me idk, but positivity breeds positivity and for the last two+ years it’s been ugly

You quite literally are THAT GUY. Shut up about Dana and stop worrying about him. You're going to complain forever but you'll never stop watching so what's the point?

This could have been said at any point in the last five years

The product runs itself. He’s got top people in top positions ensuring the smooth running of the ufc Hence why he’s always looking for challenges I.e Noche, White House, Zuffa boxing Doesn’t mean he’s not interested. If that was case he wouldn’t turn up for DWCS every week

Dana doesn’t need to be giving interviews at this stage. Get the fighters out front etc. We didn’t need to hear from Vince McMahon every week in interviews in wwe.

Ariel is literally the worst yet the only good mma journalist. But the fact that he covers wwf and jake paul fights as if they're real tells you what a fake pos he is. Never let him editorialize bc hes phony and bought.

The product is struggling. He isn't really focused on it anymore.

He is super fat again, something in his life is very off

He's reached the latter era Vince McMahon stage where his presence is now doing the company and brand more harm than good.

Is Ariel pro-genocide?

The guys who wrote the billion dollar checks are now asking for a major role in everything. Dana is not a shared leadership type. So he's simply going to start pulling back into counting his money and moving onto other pursuits that only he controls.

Nunes vs Harrison isn’t the main event because it’s a massive chance to be a stinker let’s be honest. Think the perfect slot for it is the co-main

Really, Ari? You expect a Grade A asshole, who's also a high stakes gambling addict, to possess APATHY towards others?? Somebody inject some reality juice into his IV bag, please.

You’re trying to be that guy.. six weeks of no mma has your ratings in the dumps and you went back to the well like you always do for that Dana bump.

I noticed it aswell. He's mentally checked out. That's why the product has been going down recently

Shout out for actually saying “couldn’t “ care less. Most people say “could” care less lol. Go Bills

Dude, stop hating on Dana. Everyone loves him. of course hes not the same guy he was 20 years ago. He doesnt need to act like he did then the UFC is killing it and always will. The product speaks for itself.

Just because you say you're not trying to be that guy that doesn't mean you're not. You are always that guy brotha

Saying you’re not trying to be that guy but then being that guy (which you always are) is a tired a act

He had a legendary run, it’s in Paramount’s hands now. Dana = not a corporate guy.

Both interviews I watched were awkward as hell. He didn’t really promote anything. He seemed bored and disinterested. He didn’t give the interviewer anything to roll with really. Pathetic

You’ve been “that” guy your entire career

Is Dana living rent free in your head? You Lee starting to sound like Harry Sisson with Trump.

I’ve lost interest in ufc for almost two years now
