.Naji on why Dana White has little concern about UFC fighter frustration over Zuffa Boxing’s bigger paydays and fighters having more control: “It feels like UFC is on autopilot at this point... I don’t think he’s worried, but I do think that the UFC guys had to have expected...

@NajiChill Why are you still pretending Dana does anything for the UFC. Hunter Campbell runs the show now.

@NajiChill UFC got that check from Paramount, they basically did the same then when the check came in from ESPN. This shouldn't be shocking to anyone that has been following the sport.

@NajiChill Zuffa Boxing is buying market share with big checks. UFC fighters noticing the gap is inevitable, but the real question is how long those “loss leader” paydays last.

@NajiChill pay structure shows up in the odds eventually. a fighter with leverage takes different fights, and matchmaking is most of what a fight line actually is

Brendan Schaub got paid in the first antitrust lawsuit against Zuffa 💵 He could potentially get paid again from the two ongoing antitrust lawsuits against Zuffa ⚖️ But somehow…he’s confused as to why fellow fighters (the plaintiffs) are seeking Dana White’s cell phone, texts, and emails, and why the court is ordering that discovery 🧐 On his podcast, he says: “So what’s the goal with all this? Like you guys want to do this discovery and get his cell phone records and the emails and…so what’s the point of all this?” “Is the end goal to take Dana out of the… like, you want to cancel Dana out of the UFC?” “So let’s say they discovered some horrible stuff, like Dana being mean to a fighter, saying, ‘you ain’t sh*t’…and he talked shit to your favorite fighter. I’m just curious. You guys just want to know, and then what are you gonna do with it?” Then he adds: “Y’all should be grateful that the UFC is thriving…what the f**k are all you YouTubers and podcasts gonna talk about (if the UFC went out of business)?” C’mon now Bubba… This discovery isn’t about fans, media, “mean texts”, or wanting to “cancel” Dana and bring down the UFC. It’s about whether internal communications inside the UFC show: 📩 how business and negotiations were actually handled 🤝 leverage with contracts and fighters and their managers 🎯 how matchmaking was used as pressure 💰 practices that restricted fighter movement and suppressed pay In plain English: ⚠️ possible market control ⚠️ possible wage suppression ⚠️ possible collusion Nothing about cancel culture. Dana’s texts & emails aren’t just like some content for podcasts 😂 It’s about whether the UFC illegally controlled the fighter labor market…specifically while Brendan was in the UFC. And just to be clear, I actually like Brendan. I’ve listened to him for a long time and even went to some of his fights. This isn’t a personal shot. But if this is how other fighters are also thinking about this case, that’s kind of crazy. And I also believe that when you’ve got a big platform, you’ve got to at least do a little homework rather than confidently throwing takes out there that are essentially arguing against your own case.

These two clips side by side make the contrast impossible to ignore. The first clip with Dana White and Ariel Helwani ahead of UFC on FOX 2 in 2012 shows the version of Dana that I believed was the best sports promoter in the world, and it wasn’t anything crazy, just fully locked in on the event like a passionate fan who happened to run the company. Four minutes off the cuff. Passionate. Deep in the weeds. Breaking down the top three fights with inside knowledge, behind the scenes context, and real storytelling. No teleprompter. No polish. Just genuine care about selling the fight and in tune with the fans. Now compare that to the Israel Adesanya vs Joe Pyfer announcement we got yesterday. Read off a screen. Flat. Disconnected. Like checking a box on a to do list. And I believe the timing also matters. UFC on FOX 2 was early in the FOX deal. Adesanya vs Pyfer is early in the Paramount deal. One feels like someone who could not wait to tell you why the fights mattered. The other feels like someone who could not wait to move on to the next agenda item. And I know these are not apples to apples. One is a pre fight scrum and the other is a fight announcement. But honestly, you could substitute almost any interview Dana has even done recently about the first Paramount card and the contrast would still be there. This is what the UFC and Dana specifically used to be the best at. And it is exactly what they are missing right now. The problem is, the UFC machine runs just fine without it. 🎙️: Ariel Helwani UFC on FOX 2, 2012 🎥: UFC YT January 2026
