Dana White's Latest Comments On Tito Ortiz
Posted by Dustin James on 05.16.2008
The UFC's head honcho tells us his true feelings on Tito.......
During a conference call to promote UFC 84, Dana White made it pretty clear that he has no intentions on apologizing to Tito Ortiz anytime soon. Ortiz recently came out and said that he would consider returning to the UFC if White apologized to him and showed him more respect. However, White is not interested in the offer:
"Tito is a fucking idiot. He's one of the dumbest human beings I've ever met. Everything that comes out of his mouth makes no sense.
I put up with his shit when he was a good fighter. He's not anymore.
He's not in anybody's Top 10. I have no interest whatsoever in being in the Tito Ortiz business. ... I've never wanted to see anyone get their ass kicked worse than I want to see Tito get his kicked next Saturday night."

Lol, this is great. Dana White is dead on. Tito is washed up and dosn't deserve special treatment.

Man I hope Tito wins just to have them go back and forth at each other throats! Can you imagine the shit talking Tito would be capable of if he beats Machoda. Furthermore you think Rogan gets the o.k. to interview him afterward? And last but not least do you see Dana White himself walking down to ringside and as soon as Machoda locks on a Kimora the ref rings the bell! Tito enraged spits on Dana and next week is in New Jersey parading around the Mexican flag on CBS! What a Concept!

Isn't it funny how two people of similar minds cannot co-exist?

Well not a big tito fan but damn atleast he backs up his dislike of dana and UFC with actual reason that are surpisingly well thought out. All dana can seem to do is make threats, call tito immature and unprofesional names. UFC has lost all their heavyweights and alot of highclass world fighters wont step foot in the ufc because of dana's weird street attitude. Dana is a president of a multi million dollar fight business. Yet he acts like some sniveling suburban wannabe corner kid. Dana needs to grow up and get his head out of his own ass. Maybe if he had some respect he would get some back. Instead he would prefer to give lying juice heads title shots, and call people F'n idiot, assholes, douche bags and the like. Yeah thats someone I want to work for (rolls eyes). lets see couture gone, tim silva gone, cro-cop gone, tito going, Nick diaz gone, Fedor working everywhere but UFC. Now we are stuck with inexperienced reality show people who should be on the undercard still. Dream 3 might not of been the greates show ever on earth but it did remind me what truly skilled fighters look like. And no not everyone in UFC is untalented that not what I'm saying, but its starting to get thined out.

Heavyweight fighting is over rated(thats my opinion), Nick Diaz is over rated. How can you call Dana unprofesional then talk about Diaz in the same breath.

because a fighter may hold a championship but a president holds a title.
you don't hear bill gates saying "hey, i hope we fuck steve jobs up and beat him while he's down"
now.. lol, no one ever accused dana of being gates, but ya catch my drift here. it -seems- like he's letting personal issues he has with tito get in the way of having a Banner Name fighter with the promotion.
sure, tito is likely 51% at fault for it..
but the promoter has to look beyond who's right and whos wrong for the betterment of the company and the enjoyment of the fans.
even if -this- tito isn't as good as from say.. 5 years ago, he still has gas in the tank and he puts asses in seats and pin codes in the digital ppv terminals.
I want to see Tito vs Rampage / Vs Forrest Again / Vs a whole freaking slew of 'em who's names i don't even know.
whats the worst thing that could happen if he actually did give tito with a bit more respect.. gave him a few more bucks and let him go out there and fight..
worst case scenario is dana gets his wish..
tito gets his ass handed to him time and again.. and dana gets a front row seat.

well... it's too bad that dana white is immature. but guess what everyone... he has the right to be as immature as he wants. he doesn't have to apologize for shit. he can pay his employees what he wants and make the matches he wants to make. i'm not a dana white supporter, but i'd be damned if someone tried to tell me how to run my business. (opinion)if you're gonna work for me you need to do your fucking job and quit bitching or don't work. a contract is a contract. if that's your signature, git yo ass to work!

hey dum dum would you like some gum gum? I had a feeling when I listed diaz someone would say it. But you beat me to the reply. The owners and president should be above the antics of the fighters. Dana is at the bottom of the list, even for a fighter, in terms of being a "class act". Everyone everyone seems rave about those fighters that show repect and act like profesionals shouldnt the president and owners atleast be in that league? And I find it funny how fighters tht leave UFC or dont go are suddenly "OVERRATED" there's no more heavyweights in ufc. Well heavyweights overated, cro-cop overrated, Tim overrated, Randy overrated, fedor overrated, diaz overrated, Gomi overrated. Come on!
