Yeah I don’t get it. Even if you adjust ahead of time, be asked to fight at 5am is ridiculous. The night naturally ways you down even if you woke up at noon.
I mean I kinda like him for not faking emotion and being a straight shooter in these things But I am glad Belal won cuz he deserved it for all the hate he got
Never really that keen on Leon either. It took forever for Leon to get his shot. So it was two less-favoured fighters duking it out. They really tried hard to give Colby every opportunity to win this belt...he's from US, a Trump boy, a big mouth, controversial. But he just couldn't rise to the occasion.
They already warned Mokoev that they'll cut him if he has another boring fight. Which he had tonight. Not only that but the hotel fights and them almost fighting at the weighins and before the fight started are liabilities. The short grabbing is just the cherry on top. Watch them warn Kape that he only has one chance left too. Kape broke his toe so I guess they'll give him some mercy for that. However, both of them should get cut. Not only did Manel also not even try to make an attempt to fight, but he has missed weight multiple times. So it's not about the short grabbing, it's everything else around it.
@@JakeM25huh? It’s literally true😂 mokoev came out and said they wanted to cut him before the fight if he didn’t get exciting. It’s the same situation that Colby was in but he doesn’t have mic skills.
Cutting mokaev is nuts. Dude is 23 yrs old with an amateur record of 23-0 And in the ufc dudes 12-0 and was ranked what #6 or something i believe? So young with so much potential. Insane that theyre cutting him
You must not watch his fights. They are incredibly boring, the UFC already warned him before this fight that he has one chance left. This was the last fight on his contract. Not only did he perform very poorly tonight, as well as cheat. But all of the drama at the hotel, the weigh ins and before the fight started. Are all liabilities. He absolutely deserves to get cut. This is a business before anything, not the f***ing olympics. Mokoev doesn't have a big fan base, he isn't that marketable, he is boring, and he didn't prove himself UFC worthy tonight.
bunch of softies is why. theres a reason the US had to come coddle and hold UKs hand to victory when the germans were making them eat airstrikes for breakfast
Back in 2022… after beating Maia, Wonderboy and Luque, Ari Emmanuel tasked Dana with one mission: never allow Belal Muhammad to fight for the belt. So he threw an undefeated Sean Brady and then a beast in Gilbert Burns at him... all it did was add another two Ws to Belal's record before the ultimate W at UFC 304. Thus by 2023… the attempt to delay, derail and destroy his shot became evident to all. It got so bad that minions among the MMA troll community began the “he’s boring” campaign. Ari’s successful team of entertainment marketers knew the algorithm would be cemented by uniting two words: boring + Belal. This was the stage that made it evident there was indeed a coordinated campaign of hatred against him. Instead of playing up the eye poke history and the natural reason to allow a rematch and highlighting how much better each of them had become over the years of improvements and training, UFC was forced from upper management (well above Dana lemme tell you) to attempt to ignore Belal’s existence. So to see Belal get his rematch against the other guy-who was a typical arrogant, disrespectful, over-rated bum, living off of the luckiest head kick in history and claiming the slogan “headshotdead”-was satisfying in and of itself. Better was knowing Belal marched into Britain against that British fighter and snatched his fame, his honor, his legacy and his gold all in front of a hostile crowd. And better still was the method: rag doll the Brit, toss him around like salad, flip him around like pancakes, and batter him with some Canelo-style quick strikes and ultimately force Dana to wrap that belt around the waist of the 36 year-old son of Palestinian refugees and bring the first major sports championship back to Chicago in nearly a decade! And even better still was hearing the other guy & his team of bums and failed cheerleaders make excuses about sleep, being flat and back issues and blah blah blah... while the Belal himself had to fly half across the world and endure similarly. And all of this coming after two amazing performances of Paddy's smooth submission and Tom's gasoline-hardened fists dropping Curtis in one minute. Lastly, you and I will die... but in the annals of MMA history and specifically UFC... the world will REMEMBER THE NAME: B E L A L 🇵🇸 M U H A M M A D Welterweight Champion Have a good day all! ✌🏽 Oh and end the g-no-ide & free the Holy Land!

Takes the praise for putting together a great show. When its not great he blames the fighters......It wasn't an awful card. Dana just wants CTE morons punching each other in the head for 3 rounds
Dana is so out of touch with what is actually fair from a sports perspective. He only cares about money and doesn’t realize that he’d make more money giving fans what they want. The JJ slobber fest doesn’t look good either, he just wants to see Stipe lose again
It wouldn't have mattered what happened in any of those fights. Everybody there was half asleep because of the time. The commentators were constantly bringing up how loud the crowd was, but the event and all the live footage says otherwise. Your choice of time was bullshit and you got what you deserved.
U ain’t trying to work around something ur a opponent has to try work around. The UK fighters had the home advantage imagine being from anywhere else in the world trying to figure out how tf your gonna fight at 1oclock in the morning to 5oclock in the morning
I just don’t understand why he had the card at this time? I don’t think starting the main card 7 or 8pm ET would be a big deal. Having your main event at 5am is crazy. I understand why they do it on Brazil cards, but with the UK there’s no need to

@@FlipNasty1 yeah Tito's manager told him to not fight Dana because Dana was also threatening to not sign anybody from Tito's gym and anybody who trains with him. Obviously that would cause a lot of friction in his gym and ruin fighters chances of signing with the ufc.
Dana is a master tactician. He fired Mokaev for the hotel altercation. But pretends he did it because of Mokaev's wrestling, to intimidated the other fighters into fan friendly strike heavy fights
As stupid as jones going to heavyweight with this chicken legs...and being considered the best ever in that weightclass too, cause he looked really awkward on the standup and got his hands wrapped around a fighter who has no grappling/wrestling skills, and let's be honest, didn't deserve the title-shot in the beginning? One can praise Jones for his LHW career, but his performance in HW, especially taking into account how long it took him to eventually fight there, was not even worthy of a belt, certainly not of a GOAT argument.
Really bad move by the ufc who claims to have the best fight the best I hope makov goes to one championship and fights Mighty Mouse for the best fighting the best in the world. Absolutely scummy behaviour by the ufc.
@@TehUltimateSnake he is 23 years old on a 7 fight win streak remember when jones was 25-26 years old drinking and smashing drunk ladies taken peds and hitting his wife etc… nah kids good he is a championship fighter that’s a dirty fucking move by the ufc
Two of Dana white’s nightmares came true: Tom Aspinall winning in spectacular fashion (putting pressure on him to feed his sweetheart JJ to an ass whooping) and Belal beating the crap out of Leon! He got so butt hurt that he stopped the incremental bonuses 😂😂😂😂😂
Brotha no. He went to decision with a guy who had a broken toe. Go get a finish. No one wants to watch 15 mins of a guy winning a fight off take downs. It’s absolute trash and PFL can have him.
@@MMACageSideTVyou say that but fans had a whole different tune when Cejudo broke his arm in the first 2 minutes of his last fight making him unable to wrestle
That's what mokaev Deserves. Dude acts like a maniac , putting his hands on people outside of a sanction event , not being a professional and making the UFC look bad. Of course the bosses would fire him.
@@DurantBurnerAccountyeah because people like watching them fight. Conor and Masvidal bring in the money, Mokaev doesn’t. Obviously they’re not going to be as lenient with a guy who doesn’t earn them anything, UFC is a business at the end of the day.
These casuals and Dana don't like best fighters they only like entertainers like Paddy Pimblett and Sean O'Malley. ONE is where the best fighters are.@@DurantBurnerAccount
They don’t like his fight style or the 125lb division to begin with. Makes no sense to me why they would cut a young undefeated contender who could be 1 win away from the belt
@@Yoo541it’s not that. They don’t like working with him. All the issues he caused throughout the build up to this ifght just made him a horrible person to work with
@@Eldon105In addition to his fighting style. The only thing keeping flyweight standing is their speed. If you can’t fight at a fast pace at flyweight there’s no hope
Dana's just pissed because he knows a big chunk of sales in the future for UK just evaporated with Leon losing the belt. Now he has to bank off of Paddy, especially now that even Molly Mcann lost any hype she might have had, too.
@@sayville_silverthe thing is that he needs to know who’s gonna actually put on a fucking show, it’s terrible when the big names are the only reason people watch. The ones who watch from prelims to end will tell you the past couple cards have been hit or miss. Honestly felt like the co main couldve been the main, the way the last one went. Leon looked like he didn’t want to be there and Belal looked like he wanted to do just enough to win, not anything too crazy nothing too underwhelming. Leon turning it on at the last 10 seconds was bs and I’m glad Belal made him pay for it, hopefully a 3 is in place for them.
Dana is mad cause he couldn't dictate to the fighters how to fight, by offering an increased bonus, swears he'll never do it again....and yet rejects UFC ever telling fighters how to fight...
He said “you’d think you would fight hard if you knew 100k was on the line.” Which is true. You’d think these ding dongs would be motivated by increased money. Everyone is interested in making money. This is a business. The whole point of the original bonus purse and fight of the night purse is to give that extra little motivation in addition to the other motivations. People don’t want to see wrestling for 30 minutes. I imagine ufc will look at changing the rules or “motivating,” up and coming candidates.
@@ArtificialDreamsAD 1) Fighting harder doesn't mean more KOs necessarily. It could also practically mean noone gives up and match goes to decision. Can't win a bonus KOd yourself. 2) this isn't kickboxing 3) if the only thing you can read in a match is a KO, you're better off watching fake wresling/wwe...lots of excitement there. 4) Your thinking is exactly what makes MMA fans the most ignorant sports fans out there and why MMA media suck so bad. They may be watching for years without learning anything. But anyone can get excited over a KO.
@@RandomYTStuff you don’t understand this is a business. If you like the art of combat and all its nuances then go watch a documentary. But Dana runs a business and that means it can’t be boring. If you don’t understand that, that’s why you’re here and not there at the top.
@@ArtificialDreamsAD oh the self-illusioned, parroting punchlines ignorant average-Joe... are you "up there" managing a multi million dollar business? Every sport is a business, many much bigger than the ufc, but it's MMA with the ignorant fanbase. One doesn't exclude the other, quite the contrary even. Who says that watching 45sec of KO R1 is more satisfying to the fans than a 5R match? Will a stamina volume wrestler suddenly turn into an explosive KO artist? Seems to me you haven't paid for a single PPV and wearing your Dana suit to make yourself sound important. Usman was not in Dana's good books until after he defended the belt. You don't know how a fighter would capture a crowd and promote his fighting style. "Kebab" was considered boring before making his style popular by means of winning.
I don't understand why Dana is so angry, what did he expect? It was obvious this would happen when the fighters are competing between 3 and 6am local time. Anyone who says you have weeks to prepare has no idea. I regularly travel to North or South America and Asia, and overcoming jetlag is different when you have daylight, sun, open shops, people on the streets if you have to stay awake and when you need to sleep, it's dark outside. But in this case it was the opposite - being alone in a room for weeks when it's dark outside, everyone is sleeping you have to stay awake, and when everyone is outside and it's daytime, you're supposed to sleep. I'm also disgusted for all the UK fans and not for the fighters only.
The whole MMA media who was at this press conference should be embarrassed, not one person questioned Dana saying PFL are getting a undefeated fighter, what weight category will he be fighting at if he signs to PFL?.... DANA IS A SAVAGE
PFL owns Bellator Champion Series which has 125 and 135. Time to add to their growing list of elite fighters. Thanks Dana 😆. Congratulations you played yourself
@@sbs-0055dominating opponents for 25 minutes vs a lay and pray merchant that does 0 damage and no submission threat + he loses until he wins thru cheating
Dang it’s like he’s getting more and more irate with every PPV press conference. Started with 302 with the P4P comment, then the same thing with 303 when he argued with that reporter, and now he was pissed off the entire interview during every single question. This guy needs to chill tf out
I wish a reporter would have had some balls like Ariel had and said "why are you protecting Jon from getting his ass whooped by Tom and having fight old man Stipe that no UFC fan gives a shit to watch that fight" to really make him blow a gasket
@MMA Junkie I got a crucial MMA comment at this point I am sick of seeing fighters not finishing chokes from the back mount face up no side canvas. No one at this point shouldn't be finishing fights if you got back mount face up locked in even if you still won the fight you have failed in someway. Belal can be happy he won but has to remain distressed missing a back mount choke is not excusable unless you're fighting Alex from 145.
"Never lost in the UFC" ....with the smirk of "yeah, we ALL know that he lost to Jared Gordon and we all know that he lost to Erosa as well." Dude is never going to shake that kind of cringe history, especially how he leaned into it like he actually earned those "wins".
Can’t expect a British fighter to perform at peak performance when fighting at 6am in the morning Better off just not holding events in Britain if it ducks up PPV buys in America. Do a one off stadium fight like Wembley or the Principality and sell 75-90k tickets in the summer occasionally if you are going to do it, your gate would make up for lack of PPV buys
Dana should not be re-signing or cutting anyone when Jon Jones and Conor McGregor are constantly getting in trouble and UFC have never fined or even punished them.
The fact they wanna get rid of a 23 year old undefeated fighter not even in his prime yet is ridiculous. If they can't get up from the takedowns, too bad. Learn how to wrestle. Go watch kickboxing or boxing if you just wanna see guys stand and strike
I hate how even the promoter is a casual. The Belal fight was fine, he was active at all times his striking was good as well as his wrestling. UFC will never reach the level of other sports if the fans are constantly complaining about "boring" fights. If a boxing match goes 15 rds no one whines, if a football or basketball match us low scoring again people find things to enjoy from the game. Only in the UFC do they whine.
They both wanted to kill each other even before the fight started, security made sure they wouldn't fight until the bell one of the most boring first rounds lmao
MMA reporters, for the most part, are the worst. People criticize Dana for losing his temper at these guys sometimes, but he shows a lot of restraint imo. That Peirrera question is asinine
W Fight Journalist off the gates with Dana - Asking good questions regarding what he already knows about Stipe vs Jones - whether or not either winner would even want to stay around and defend against Tom - Based on what he does 1-2 minutes to guys like Sergei and Curtis, likely not. I can't see anyone past their prime signing up for that honestly. Tom is a problem
a twig knocked him tf out, bounced his head off the canvas like a basketball. after that he cried, moved up and fought people coming off 2 year injuries & 40y old men. sit this one out
Whats wild is most people in America streamed the fight so to make for the Americans was just stupid props to uk fans for still singing and cheering thier own from 3am to 6am

how? once aspinall fights gane if he wins against volkov then he basically cleared the division cause jones isn’t gonna fight him
To be fair, Tom just got knocked around by Curtis before being gifted the early stoppage. Great jab though.
@@sayville_silver tom literally dominated him start to finish besides one meaty 1,2 + great stoppage + aspinall owns hw
As stupid as jones going to heavyweight with this chicken legs...and being considered the best ever in that weightclass too, cause he looked really awkward on the standup and got his hands wrapped around a fighter who has no grappling/wrestling skills, and let's be honest, didn't deserve the title-shot in the beginning? One can praise Jones for his LHW career, but his performance in HW, especially taking into account how long it took him to eventually fight there, was not even worthy of a belt, certainly not of a GOAT argument.
@@adamweberrto be fair, Tom just got knocked around by Curtis before being gifted the early stoppage. Great jab tho
Really bad move by the ufc who claims to have the best fight the best I hope makov goes to one championship and fights Mighty Mouse for the best fighting the best in the world. Absolutely scummy behaviour by the ufc.
more like scummy behavior by mokaev, dude doesn't know how to act professional inside or outside the cage. Good riddance.
Hope UFC goes bankrupt and ONE takes over market for MMA and Muay Thai.
Thankfully PFL/Bellator Champion Series might get him
@@TehUltimateSnake he is 23 years old on a 7 fight win streak remember when jones was 25-26 years old drinking and smashing drunk ladies taken peds and hitting his wife etc… nah kids good he is a championship fighter that’s a dirty fucking move by the ufc
Thanks mmajunkie for putting all post fights on for the real fans, all these other channels just putting 4 main people up. Thank you🙏
Dana has nothing nice to say for Belal. Lol 😂😂 eating his words
Now watch Dana push paddy as hard as sugar boy making him main event in stacked cards
Yep
Dana saving Jonny boy from Poatan the true Goat
Not a fan of pimblet but he put on a solid performance tonight his last two fights were ..eh but why the 200k
Bobby took a dive for money
He clearly gave Belal this fight expecting Leon to win. That is the anger of a gambler losing.
Why does paddy get $200k ?
He smoked bobby in a round
Fight of night and performance of night
@@bbbbbbread Not fight of the night for sure, Bobby didn't get the 100k bonus...
At the presser a journalist asked about 100k bonuses, fighters chimed in, Dana agreed, but Paddy was the only “exciting” fight so he got the big one
@@Captain_newo exactly, to make a point , if you are really entertaining and show that you want the bonus, you will get it from the bo$$
This Jones glazer should be paying all the fighters bonuses for making them fight at graveyard shift hours. Penalty rates!
Dana being an Islamophobe hating on belal for a historic performance and cutting the undefeated mokaev? didnt see that coming
He loves Islam Dana isn't Islamophobic
He's boringmophobe
@@Urizar.Rogelio ur mom was boring in bed tonight. sorry bro
Cope more 😂
@@jonoharper4729 sez the guy who is coping and still didnt realize Belal is the champ. cry me a river. a Palestinian is the WW GOAT. cry about it
Two of Dana white’s nightmares came true: Tom Aspinall winning in spectacular fashion (putting pressure on him to feed his sweetheart JJ to an ass whooping) and Belal beating the crap out of Leon! He got so butt hurt that he stopped the incremental bonuses 😂😂😂😂😂
That’s crazy. Mokaev looking good. Very athletic kicks and entertaining build up. Was a little inactive but not worse than some of these other guys
Brotha no. He went to decision with a guy who had a broken toe. Go get a finish. No one wants to watch 15 mins of a guy winning a fight off take downs. It’s absolute trash and PFL can have him.
Just my opinion
They want entertaining clowns like Paddy Pimblett and Sean O'Malley not good fighters.
@@MMACageSideTV yea you’re right that’s no good but undefeated cut after a win sounds crazy
@@MMACageSideTVyou say that but fans had a whole different tune when Cejudo broke his arm in the first 2 minutes of his last fight making him unable to wrestle
That's what mokaev Deserves. Dude acts like a maniac , putting his hands on people outside of a sanction event , not being a professional and making the UFC look bad. Of course the bosses would fire him.
During the fight I said he looks like a punk
Manel attacked him
It’s only ok when it happens to Connor….and Masvidal….and…yup
@@DurantBurnerAccountyeah because people like watching them fight. Conor and Masvidal bring in the money, Mokaev doesn’t. Obviously they’re not going to be as lenient with a guy who doesn’t earn them anything, UFC is a business at the end of the day.
These casuals and Dana don't like best fighters they only like entertainers like Paddy Pimblett and Sean O'Malley. ONE is where the best fighters are.@@DurantBurnerAccount
So what is the exact reason why the UFC dislike Mokaev so much?
They don’t like his fight style or the 125lb division to begin with. Makes no sense to me why they would cut a young undefeated contender who could be 1 win away from the belt
@@Yoo541because he attacked another fighter on 2 occasions
@@Yoo541it’s not that. They don’t like working with him. All the issues he caused throughout the build up to this ifght just made him a horrible person to work with
Legend in his own mind. Drama kweeen with a boring fight style.
@@Eldon105In addition to his fighting style. The only thing keeping flyweight standing is their speed. If you can’t fight at a fast pace at flyweight there’s no hope
Calling it now that reporter lowkey just booked Leon vs Ian 😂
DONT LET HIM BULLY YOU SON
Bully Belal Nigga!
WHATS WRONG WIV YEW?
YOU GOTTA PULL THIS ON OUT THE FIYAH
@@PERIDOTPIMPDon't let him bully you son
Dana's just pissed because he knows a big chunk of sales in the future for UK just evaporated with Leon losing the belt. Now he has to bank off of Paddy, especially now that even Molly Mcann lost any hype she might have had, too.
"Hey Dana who do you think wins, City or United?" "Manchester".
thats journalism mma right there.
We tell fighters how to fight? Wtf.
Young Mokaev opened up everything. That's why he's been cut....!!!!!!
Sarcasm dude. Read the room
Are you serious…. Have you never heard of sarcasm in your life ?? Lmfao 🤣
Tbh if he's insisting on keeping the UK events on US time he might as well not bother
The fact hes like no i dont think i should pay them anymore its not gonna make em fight better even though they make him a ton of money is pathetic
I guess they shouldnt sign the contracts that are offered to them then.
@@sayville_silverthe thing is that he needs to know who’s gonna actually put on a fucking show, it’s terrible when the big names are the only reason people watch. The ones who watch from prelims to end will tell you the past couple cards have been hit or miss. Honestly felt like the co main couldve been the main, the way the last one went. Leon looked like he didn’t want to be there and Belal looked like he wanted to do just enough to win, not anything too crazy nothing too underwhelming. Leon turning it on at the last 10 seconds was bs and I’m glad Belal made him pay for it, hopefully a 3 is in place for them.
Any company owners or CEOs will stand firm next to their most outstanding performers/employees. Dana is the exception.
Lets put Dana white in with Belal in the ring. Lets see the nar burner 😂😂
Belal still takes it to a split decision
@@JLC942well he finished undefeated Sean Brady. Name another fighter who did that?
@@kokaop3838steroids
If Dana is firing boring fighters on win streaks then Belal should tread carefully lol.
I literally fell asleep as he was being announced last night…but congrats to what’s his name!
23:00 Dana’s so based, so many of them try this shit
Colby Vs Belal makes sense ppv wise
Dana is mad cause he couldn't dictate to the fighters how to fight, by offering an increased bonus, swears he'll never do it again....and yet rejects UFC ever telling fighters how to fight...
He said “you’d think you would fight hard if you knew 100k was on the line.”
Which is true. You’d think these ding dongs would be motivated by increased money. Everyone is interested in making money. This is a business.
The whole point of the original bonus purse and fight of the night purse is to give that extra little motivation in addition to the other motivations.
People don’t want to see wrestling for 30 minutes. I imagine ufc will look at changing the rules or “motivating,” up and coming candidates.
@@ArtificialDreamsAD 1) Fighting harder doesn't mean more KOs necessarily. It could also practically mean noone gives up and match goes to decision. Can't win a bonus KOd yourself.
2) this isn't kickboxing
3) if the only thing you can read in a match is a KO, you're better off watching fake wresling/wwe...lots of excitement there.
4) Your thinking is exactly what makes MMA fans the most ignorant sports fans out there and why MMA media suck so bad. They may be watching for years without learning anything. But anyone can get excited over a KO.
@@RandomYTStuff you don’t understand this is a business. If you like the art of combat and all its nuances then go watch a documentary. But Dana runs a business and that means it can’t be boring. If you don’t understand that, that’s why you’re here and not there at the top.
@@ArtificialDreamsAD oh the self-illusioned, parroting punchlines ignorant average-Joe... are you "up there" managing a multi million dollar business?
Every sport is a business, many much bigger than the ufc, but it's MMA with the ignorant fanbase. One doesn't exclude the other, quite the contrary even.
Who says that watching 45sec of KO R1 is more satisfying to the fans than a 5R match?
Will a stamina volume wrestler suddenly turn into an explosive KO artist?
Seems to me you haven't paid for a single PPV and wearing your Dana suit to make yourself sound important.
Usman was not in Dana's good books until after he defended the belt.
You don't know how a fighter would capture a crowd and promote his fighting style. "Kebab" was considered boring before making his style popular by means of winning.
I don't understand why Dana is so angry, what did he expect? It was obvious this would happen when the fighters are competing between 3 and 6am local time. Anyone who says you have weeks to prepare has no idea. I regularly travel to North or South America and Asia, and overcoming jetlag is different when you have daylight, sun, open shops, people on the streets if you have to stay awake and when you need to sleep, it's dark outside. But in this case it was the opposite - being alone in a room for weeks when it's dark outside, everyone is sleeping you have to stay awake, and when everyone is outside and it's daytime, you're supposed to sleep. I'm also disgusted for all the UK fans and not for the fighters only.
Dana definitely wasn’t happy with this card
Why is no one talking about how someone “told ***** not to shoot?
They literally tell their fighters how to fight.
The whole MMA media who was at this press conference should be embarrassed, not one person questioned Dana saying PFL are getting a undefeated fighter, what weight category will he be fighting at if he signs to PFL?.... DANA IS A SAVAGE
PFL owns Bellator Champion Series which has 125 and 135. Time to add to their growing list of elite fighters. Thanks Dana 😆. Congratulations you played yourself
Danas right about the bonus, fighters werent incentiised to fight any harder for the extra bonus
People shocked by paddys submission, need to go and watch his submissions prior to joining the ufc
Fire mokaev before he become champion

That is usual from Tom
Dang it’s like he’s getting more and more irate with every PPV press conference. Started with 302 with the P4P comment, then the same thing with 303 when he argued with that reporter, and now he was pissed off the entire interview during every single question. This guy needs to chill tf out
Dana screaming over bonuses is hilarious and too bad is favourites were battered!
Everybody acting like Paddy’s gonna win the title after beating Bobby green? 🤣🤣🤣
Does it matter about the gate with inflation it’s always going to be the highest
Dana won’t let John fight Tom. It’s obvious when discussing them both. He won’t risk Jones’ legacy
I wish a reporter would have had some balls like Ariel had and said "why are you protecting Jon from getting his ass whooped by Tom and having fight old man Stipe that no UFC fan gives a shit to watch that fight" to really make him blow a gasket
To all the UK fans upset about the PPV time, your opinion hasnt mattered since 1776
@MMA Junkie I got a crucial MMA comment at this point I am sick of seeing fighters not finishing chokes from the back mount face up no side canvas. No one at this point shouldn't be finishing fights if you got back mount face up locked in even if you still won the fight you have failed in someway. Belal can be happy he won but has to remain distressed missing a back mount choke is not excusable unless you're fighting Alex from 145.
All of these yes or no questions prove most of the reporters in that room are clueless about the job.
"Never lost in the UFC" ....with the smirk of "yeah, we ALL know that he lost to Jared Gordon and we all know that he lost to Erosa as well." Dude is never going to shake that kind of cringe history, especially how he leaned into it like he actually earned those "wins".
Can’t expect a British fighter to perform at peak performance when fighting at 6am in the morning
Better off just not holding events in Britain if it ducks up PPV buys in America. Do a one off stadium fight like Wembley or the Principality and sell 75-90k tickets in the summer occasionally if you are going to do it, your gate would make up for lack of PPV buys
It’s “7” in Vegas. It was actually 11… lol
Dude is a complete ass hat lol
Dana should not be re-signing or cutting anyone when Jon Jones and Conor McGregor are constantly getting in trouble and UFC have never fined or even punished them.
Paddy didnt mess up my parlay i knew daddy dana favorites would win garry omalley paddy aint losing no time soon
The fact they wanna get rid of a 23 year old undefeated fighter not even in his prime yet is ridiculous. If they can't get up from the takedowns, too bad. Learn how to wrestle. Go watch kickboxing or boxing if you just wanna see guys stand and strike
There’s clearly more to that story. If you’re a fan of him, go watch him at PFL.
I hate how even the promoter is a casual. The Belal fight was fine, he was active at all times his striking was good as well as his wrestling. UFC will never reach the level of other sports if the fans are constantly complaining about "boring" fights. If a boxing match goes 15 rds no one whines, if a football or basketball match us low scoring again people find things to enjoy from the game. Only in the UFC do they whine.
Lmfao Dana cooked that dude good at the end haha😂
Dana.....You put Jon Jones in a room with Belal and Belal walks out evert time...😂😂😂
The way he said some Mexicans fighting other than our Mexicans😂💀
Nope you’re right Dana that Ref is completely incompetent!
He needs to kiss Jon jones already
The American fight time in England is just ridiculous and insulting.
Fans wanna see Jones vs Aspinal
Sorry, I cant fight when the sun is down for longer than a couple hours.
They both wanted to kill each other even before the fight started, security made sure they wouldn't fight until the bell one of the most boring first rounds lmao
MMA reporters, for the most part, are the worst. People criticize Dana for losing his temper at these guys sometimes, but he shows a lot of restraint imo. That Peirrera question is asinine
Muhammed "attack before the fight, back pedal during" Mokaev
I wanted to see Mokaev fight for the belt.
Dana looks exhausted, but still he's being a dick to belal
I don't know why Dana is so salty, i wasn't a bad card. I liked it. Congratulations to Balal he deserves it 👏
W Fight Journalist off the gates with Dana - Asking good questions regarding what he already knows about Stipe vs Jones - whether or not either winner would even want to stay around and defend against Tom - Based on what he does 1-2 minutes to guys like Sergei and Curtis, likely not. I can't see anyone past their prime signing up for that honestly. Tom is a problem
37 and a 41 year old that has not fought since 2021...
Dana barely liked Leon. He shut down rematch immediately
Paddy only has fans in the UK, this win doesn't change shit.
That dumbass Palestine question at the end. Why do the dems always try to make shit political.
Pereira smokes HW
Hope we get to see soon.
a twig knocked him tf out, bounced his head off the canvas like a basketball. after that he cried, moved up and fought people coming off 2 year injuries & 40y old men. sit this one out
Exactly
Whats wild is most people in America streamed the fight so to make for the Americans was just stupid props to uk fans for still singing and cheering thier own from 3am to 6am
Dana really hate Arnold Allen. Wtf.
It's because Dana is a secret Norwich City fan.
he won a lottery ticket vs max holloway and still threw it away. boring and can’t sell his local bar & he’s a journeyman
@beaualoevv journeyman, he's 20-3 ya nonce.
What did he say about allen ?
Gotta feel bad for Dana when the fighters let him and the fans down.
