GSP is one of the few fighters to play the UFC system well. He came in, did what he had to to get on top, stayed on top as a huge Canadian draw, broke a record, made millions, got out while he was ahead, and then came back to take another belt at middle weight before he was even out of his prime. He did it his way.
@FollowThatCar ! the fuck are you on about? Keep your theories in that bumhole you shat them out from xD
Let's remember that he cheated with the old vaseline trick lol
@@jokerdejesus4756 sure, I'm sure the Vaseline is why he beat everyone's ass, that's the only reason lol
@@ibefullofme no sir don't get me wrong in his prime he was the man but I'm sure mix martial arts include wrestling kind of hard to grab you're apponent if he's slipping and sliding out of your hands even dana white said somebody's ass is in trouble lol

“You know he’s very emotional about some shit going on with him right now and ya know it’s really not that bad” - Dana White .
Goes to show how much he cares about a fighter. All Dana sees is dollar signs. He’ll get everything he deserves
He also once said "some Russian thing is going on between them" for the Khabib and Artem Lobov conflict.
🐈
I hope he actually gets what he deserves. I wanna see karma hit him in his fucking face one day
A lot of people today have to be told that their problems aren't big deal. Good man Dana

The man was sick to the gut.

Thats got to suck lmfao
He asked to be traded.
One FC pays 40% more then ufc on average. The average ufc fighter makes around the same as a high school principal per year. (60k-110k) not including the taxes, one literally paid every fighter in the last event 160k minimum not including bonuses and main event bonuses
@@MrVaDelux average ufc fighters make 150k
Imagine being Ben Askren
Interesting comments by dana regarding GSP wanting to take a break. I wonder why dana didn't feel the same way about conner's long break and refusal to defend his title. I don't wonder actually, because dana's true feelings, motives, desires, and what truly drives him is so easy and clear to see. It's awesome to see people not afraid of calling it as they see it, and not being afraid of the ufc in doing so. Ufc will do whatever it takes, robbing the real Champs of fights they deserve through hard work in the process, to protect and ride the shirt tails of false paper champs.
Conor back then was more dominant than GSP. He lost to Nate Diaz but that was short notice at WW . Imagine jumping up weight class within such a short time span. Nearly most of his wins were finishes. He used to fight very frequently as well.
@@sidharthk2793 How can Connor be more dominant when he's losing fights and Georges hadn't lost in over 10 years?
Back in the day Dana would pride himself on having the best fighters in the world. Even with an ego as big as his he'd put it aside for what was best for MMA and fought tirelessly to legitimize our sport.
Then it happened, maybe around Brock or Chael? Or maybe it was just a gradual shift, or maybe he had outside sources pouring stress on but skill and talent was no longer viewed as important as charisma and drawing power.
He went from being the hero of MMA to a Vince McMahon-esque promoter. Equal parts sleaze, ego and shady business tactics pushing our beloved MMA closer to pro wrestling or boxing shenanigans.
Woah woah woag Vince McMahon has always been consistent. In all honesty Vince would have certainly championed the fighters and paid them better than Dana ever has
@@YamahaR12015 say what you want about Vince. People don't leave WWE because of the pay.

Promotion and privilege wise, the UFC went to trash during the McGregor and Lesnar era
Dana was the saltiest when Holly beat Rhonda. I remember the post interviews, Dana looked like he wanted to cry.
LOL
Cool profile pic!
Nothing makes me happier than when Dana doesn’t get his way
Yes they wood not let cyborg fight het at all.. Dana was protecting her there where a few other who wanted Ronda and got total no as well😞
@John Doe Holly has fought for more title fights than Ronda has since that fight. So although Holly wasn't the most dominate champion she still made money for Dana while Ronda was retired.
Dana needs to hop in the octagon with anyone.That would sell billiions
Yea right Dana is a little bitch
He hides behind his title president of UFC's and hides behind his money
Jones Vs Dana. Make it happen, Dana.
Dana vs joe rogan
Vince McMahon @ THE GARDEN, 5 Rounds.
Sean strickland is here now
Suprised to not see Stipe on this list, i always felt he was under appreciated by Dana
Yep the first fight against Ngannou. The whole promotion was all about Ngannou and his freakish knockout power and punch force record. Nothing about Stipe being the first heavyweight champion to defend the belt 3 times. Icing on the cake was Stipe snatching the belt out of Dana’s hands and getting his trainer to wrap it around his waist as a way of saying “fuck you”
Is it just Woodley 10 times in a row?
Should be lmao 😂
I was literally thinking this. Nobody wants Tyron as champ.
Artem**
He wasn’t even in the ufc then.
Woodley was a good ufc champ. Never picked lesser fights always *always* fought the top guy Dana put in front of him. You really cant get mad he asked for money fights because most of the other champions got them and he consistently defended his belt against the best. He just put his foot in his mouth when he made everything seem racist. Good champ nonetheless
Dana doesn't want his champions bowing out while they're ahead. He'd rather see them get knocked out spectacularly first so he can hand the belt to the next guy.
Hes a capitalist, to take a broad simple approach .
Thats what passing the torch is
noone wants to get called a interim champ while holding the real title aka Robert Whittaker .
He'd rather they make him money with PPV buys instead of bowing out beforehand.
Isn't that what drives the sport?
5:52 that handshake is so wholesome :)
Add Sean Strickland now
I haven’t even started the video, and I KNOW Woodley’s on here somewhere.
Woodley was such a boring champion. Glad Usman dropped him. Now I’m standing like a hypocrite because I don’t like Usman now because he seem so fake. I don’t know which one I hate more.
@@iconic8986 I don't mind usman. TRUST ME there are way worser champs than him...
warofmankind Woodley was a much better champion than Usman. Except for the long break after Maia he fought every 4 or 5 months. Usman got the belt and immediately sat back for 8 months. Plus he’s incredibly corny and unlikeable and has had 1 entertaining fight in his entire career.
I agree. Heck I would not be surprised if Woodley was NOT number #1.
Aidan Culver is that one with Colby or Woodley. I enjoyed Tyron’s ass getting butt fucked the entire fight.
GSP trolled Dana hard 😂
I think you're right. I also think that's why Dana put a clause in his contract to defend the middle weight title so I think he saved some money coz he didn't. Dana saw it coming
@@tdb4763 poopy?
Forever the king
Good
@@tdb4763 True, GSP doesn't owe Dana anything. He did a lot to help push UFC into the world due to his all-around fighting. He, along with Anderson, pretty much got more people coming to watch them.
Great video and great channel! Thanks MMA on Point
Add Sean Strickland to this list
BS. Sean Strickland wouldn't be champion if Dana White didn't want that
Dana slowly turning into Vince McMahon's heel character
I was thinking the same thing. I mean, booked champion has "worked spectacular" for wwe lol.
Yup, the ufc is absolutely turning into the wwe when it comes to pursuing the views. Attitude and personalities are winning, just like the "attitude era" of the wwe in the late 90's.
@@drdiabetes7469 did you know the ufc was inspired by the wwe from its inception?
In fact the youg ufc was nearly bought by wwe specifically vince's son Shane mcmahon.
He has been like that for a long time, go look at his bs during the 2000's.
Stop it 😂😂😂
I hate how Dana White clearly tries to bury people and plays favorites when this is their lives and legacy he is messing with, plus now we don't even have Zuffa to hold him back
Right! I like Dana from time to time, but he is a bitch ass bald fuck.
It's almost like he helped build this organization from nothing and wants it to succeed long term...
War Wolf different time back then
There's a pattern, though. If you cross him, he's done with you. I think he gives people chances, he gives people the benefit of the doubt, but you can see that he has ZERO tolerance for people breaking his trust. He goes WAY too far sometimes, and in those moments, it's hard to like him, but if you dig around, you found more positive stories about his generosity than you do his being an asshole - although he definitely can be ass for sure (His unending hatred of Ariel Helwani, for instance)
For me, you can learn a lot about him from "Dana White: Lookin' For a Fight." He lets them film, and then lets them publish even when he looks like a wuss, or when he looks bad, etc. If he was truly an ego maniac douche bag, he would never let us see that side of him.
@War Wolf khabib knocking down Conor is more interesting than Fitch's whole career. Khabib's wrestling is way more interesting than Fitch. Fitch's wrestling was even more boring than Usman or Woodley's striking but with even less finishes.
Number 11 Sean Strickland
GSP will always be one of my favorite fighters of all time. Not just in the ring, the way he played the UFC system. Yes he could have done things better but it worked in his favor in the end

He couldn't do it with khabib

I enjoyed every single round of that fight, I mean second!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@FoxtrotUSA1I mean, I knew she was going to come back and get swarmed by Nunes. That was when they should've been pushing Nunes more than she was being, and only really until her vs Valentina 1 was where she started getting more than just the Brazilian fans on her side. Now she's become a certified legend without having to trash talk.
It shouldn’t be “who Dana wants or doesn’t want” as champion. It should be whoever earns it. Regardless of how Dana feels
Well it is that way, just because he doesn't want them as champion doesn't mean he didn't give them a title shot
@@keithfanning2387 there is something seriously wrong with you if you actually agree with dana's way of thinking. he's just trying to be more and more like vince mcmahon and look what vince has done to pro wrestling. first he saved it and now he's singlehandedly murdering it. white is doing the same with MMA but in a much shorter span of time
OnlyOneShogun Haha, the UFC has never been in a better position business wise ever before than it is right now, fighters pay has never been on average higher than it has been before, most fighters are overpaid for the money they bring to the company to be honest, to say he's destroying it is just idiotic really. What he done last year with Fight Island was amazing to see play out in real time. How is he destroying it actually?
Well, that's precisely why these 10 people WERE indeed champions. It's all a business and Dana likes the most popular fighters.
That is how the sport works already. Otherwise this video wouldn't exist. I really don't understand how 150 people agreed with you about what already exists.

You can add Francis to that lost now bro
Never had any serious beef, but Dana clearly doesn't like Stipe being champion.
well DC is his friend and both haven’t fought in 9 months. (against eachother) Stipe doesn’t want to fight because firefighting and doesn’t have access to a gym. You can put a gym at your house if you’re making champion money. Also like DC said it’s either firefighting or UFC. He’s the champ now, he’s got to fight.
@@josh-ge4ez He hasn't fought because of like 15 eye pokes from DC, and he's actually being responsible with this global pandemic you might've heard of.
Aiden okay if he’s being responsible that’s hit fault because the UFC is carrying on with their fights whether Stipe likes it or not.
@@josh-ge4ez Dana stripping anyone's belt during this time will be an absolute PR nightmare for ESPN and UFC. Not enough time has passed to see if these events: A- generated enough revenue to warrant their existence, and B- were safely pulled off.
R Brooks this is why they’re thinking about it.. but if he doesn’t fight in the next 3 months, i say vacate.
“Fedor sucks. He was beaten by a guy we cut.” *Werdum comes back and becomes champion* lmfao
Beating Cain of all people too. Cain's great, but anything that screws Dana over is good to me
best fighter ever. gary goodrigde
How could anyone disregard Werdum? He's a flipping expert in the ground with heavy hands and vicious knees
To be fair, Werdum struggled in the past. Nothing suggested that he would have beaten Cain in Mexico; he was an underdog. And let's not act like he is free of performance enhancing suspicion. Oddly enough, post USADA, Werdum hasn't been the same fighter either. So, for most of his career Werdum hasn't exactly been a top ranked fighter, let alone champion. he beat Cain and Fedor (2 legends of the sport) around the same time, and in one organization that did not test for PEDs, but now can't win against lesser names? There's something suspicious about that, don't you think?
@@TheKickboxingCommunity well, back then he wasn't the same fighter. Watch his match with Overeem in Strikeforce and you'll quickly see what people mean.
No shade on the guy though, he clearly worked fuckin hard on himself to become a more complete fighter. He just wasn't always that guy, and that's what people mean (I think).
Edit: And just to be clear, I think it was fucked up for Dana to say that, and Fedor is clearly a legend.
Love these vids ,it's good to get the backstory.
I went to UFC 208 with my uncles and my brother. It was my first UFC event that I ever went to and we had really good seats that night.
So funny Dana's reactions when fighters look after themselves.

Dana does not care about Jon Jones. That shitbag makes him top much money
I love that every video that talks about the UFC and Cyborg in this channel, has that Dana quote everytime 😂
I saw GSP at laguardia airport late night in the food court. He let me get a pic cool dude I asked him if he was really done and he said "only for khabib"
You lucky dude.. I'm rooting for gsp but gotta admit khabib's grappling is terrific.I hope gsp has answers to that
bone bone I think a prime gsp would outclass khabib, & most likely out wrestle him, but I’m not sure now. He’s older & not in his prime, but if it happens I hope he dominates the shit out of khabib.
Trey NoneYa George is bigger than khabib but khabibs grappling is incredible and probably the best in the ufc right if it was a stand up fight George wins but on the ground I think khabib takes it
Proof what’s your Ig or snap
I love gsp but khabib is a scary guy
I can’t believe Dana hated GSP so much when he was the pay per view king for over a decade
Because GSP has always told Dana where he can go stick it.
Dana White loves you till you disagree with him and don't do what HE wants you to do in the ring.
he only loves you when your making money and being a yes man otherwise your shit. Look at bones jones and many other top guys
Frosty85 cool story bro
Frosty85 that’s not true if GSP comes back he’ll fight Khabib which will be one of the biggest fights in mma history. All the Canadians and Muslims would buy the PPV
That Nicco Montaño story just breaks my heart every time I hear it. How much of a piece of shit do you have to be to where you force an athlete go above and beyond what is healthy by holding hostage what they've earned and worked so hard to get, and then when they nearly die because of it be like "well, hey, you tried, now bye bye."

Dana white talking about “sporting integrity” is a massive joke
Any integrity in any walk of life not just sporting.
He wants to give Mcgregor infinite LW title shots for only 1 win at 155 in his UFC career while screwing over people on mad runs just because they aren’t as marketable but he’s the one talking about sporting integrity. Very interesting.
Najib Rahman Dana white is a habitual bullshitter as well
Dana used to be a boxing promoter for Floyd Mayweather.... That should tell you something. Lol
Letting that cheater Jon Jones still fight after his actions inside and outside the ring...
Boy that Johnson and Askren trade went super well for the UFC.
Ikr Dana had the last laugh getting rid of Johnson and askren career never being the same after the masvidal loss.
It was a great decision at the time, and has been more than vindicated since. Ben drew bigger numbers than DJ could ever dream off, and he essentially launched the career of Masvidal into becoming another money maker.
I would say Askrens short tenure was a success for the UFC. Dude had some really memorable moments in his 3 fights and each one did decent numbers, I watched all 3 and most of my mates did. Seen snippets of Johnson at one but never tuned in live. Also if it never happened we would never have had that Masvidal knee which spurred the career of Jorge, also a good thing for the UFC.
It did, Askren made them more money lmao
Holy crap so true.🤦🏽♀️

Came back to this video after Strickland vs Izzy. With the recent merging of WWE and UFC don't be surprised when Dana White puts Strickland in a 30 men Royal Rumble for the title.
Remember after Nunes starched Ronda, Dana was asked during the press conference about a super fight between Nunes and Cyborg, and his response was "Pump the breaks, pump the breaks! Let's see her defend the title first."
Ehhh, that's exactly what she did that same night. Did you forget that Nunes was already the champion the whole time?
Jan Błachowicz is also a "spoiler" :D Booked last several fights as a "stepping stone" won that all, became a champion and defended it.
And now he's fighting Glover, the next spoiler calibre guy in line :)
and now he lost to a grandpa glover, beautiful is it not
@@bobbuilder6903 I had a feeling Błachowicz would loose that one. He did not seem focused on the fight. He just fulfilled his dream, became a father, does not need to proove anything to anybody. Glover was "hungry". Jan was not.
8:10 *Thats the hardest I have laughed at your videos bruh* 💀
Its not who Dana wants to be the champion, he just cares about PPV, so he is ok with anyone being the champion as long as that fighter is bringing tons of PPVs.
For example you mentioned Dana did not want Colby to be champion, but recently Colby has exploded so much due to his trash talk, that Dana is dying to match him up with Leon Edwards for title match despite the fact that Colby has not fought for almost an year now.

@@heavyrain5949 he absolutely was not. And it does matter in my opinion because he fought and was dominant in the steroid era while being one of the only clean fighters besides the Diaz brothers. That, to me, makes his resume EXTRA impressive.
Honestly the fact that your relationship with Dana can effect if your get a shot at a title and if you do get it how long you hold it for
it's wrong and is everything people disliked about Don King over in the boxing world. King wielded too much power and killed the sport. Tyson saved it. Dana is doing the same with UFC.

"Cris Cyborg, the woman the division was built for"
5 minutes later "#2 Cris Cyborg"
Their original plan was to get her to boarder line kill herself to make 135lbs so Ronda would(hopefully) beat her and they could cast her off to the side.
With Ronda losing they jumped on the cyborg bandwagon (for money) and then when Amanda beat her. Cyborg just wanted one fight(rematch Amanda) and the UFC wanted her to have more fights(especially if she won) and that is how I see the story
@@superwhiteboy619 yep you summed it up perfectly. the ufc never wanted to build a women's featherweight division in the 1st place. they did so because after the horrible weight cuts cyborg for her 1st 2 fights, almost dying in the process, the california state athletic commission would not sanction her for any fight under 145 lbs.

only 3 years later and this already feeling like it needs a part 2.😂
Could easily do a part 2 of this
Tyron "Falling in and out love, in and out of love with you" Woodley
Hahaha
Howard Charles Howard “game” Charles
so gay
6:24 Till knows what's up 🤣
lol Till is such a tool... But in that cool kinda way!
Yessir Valentina was looking good af😋😋😍
Now we got Sean Strickland to add to the list lol
10:39 that beard deserves its own like button
GDR pissed me off the whole time she was champion. She refused to fight Cyborg because she accused her of cheating when she herself cheated to win the title
nikoskinner shes still a good fighter
Tell em about it. I attended this card which was one of the Tony v Khabib fall outs and then GDR won just suck ass as a champ. Saw Anderson atleast
I agree. The only reason for GDR fighting Holly was for the winner to fight Cyborg. There was no reason for the division otherwise. It's not like when George St. Pierre had fought dozens of times and decided he was done fighting period. He got paid peanuts many a time, had sponsors pay him more than the UFC, and was a huge part in the UFC becoming what it is. He owed Dana nothing, and Dana's reaction there is a black mark on Dana's otherwise impressive record.
@@TheSwiftCreek2 Dana always says if a fighter thinks about retiring he should, not so with GSP. Definitely a bad look for Dana.
This was how I felt as well. Cheated in the fight then cheated the fans, ufc and Cyborg out of a title fight she agreed to. Worse still - promised many times before the fight that she would fight Cyborg if she won, then immediately in the post fight octagon interview starts making excuses about her hand. Disgusting, worst champion ever
DJ’s disrespect was uncanny. Let one of the GOAT’s of MMA go for no reason
Thought he was bigger than the game, sit down little man.
Ryan John because of the act. Nothing else. DJ just seemed boring to the masses because he would just beat everybody literally everybody, until losing to cejudo in a decision many people has DJ winning
@@Richardson_mma oh he did win. They needed to send him so he lost the SD.
Honestly, I'm glad DJ is making money elsewhere, with fans that can actually appreciate him. It's a shame the UFC under-utilized him and the entire flyweight division (that division was stuck on Fight Pass/prelims for like 80% of its existence despite the immense talent within, and the vast majority of haters hadn't even seen a non-title flyweight fight before having loud opinions), but DJ should have a lot of good competition in the East.
100%! He treats so many of his fighters like shit and props up fighters he is friends with especially Connor and let him get away with holding up 2 divisions, has always paid him better then any one else, let him go box and even worse let him get away with so many crimes including attacking a bus full of fighters and causing serious damage and possibly it could of gotten way worse if he wasn't stopped. Also he has constantly given a career to Matt Serra and keeps on getting him jobs but if you are any fighter he doesn't like even a little bit for reasons as stupid as he doesn't like your face he will absolutely do everything he can to destroy your career and legacy, the weird part is all of the GOATs her tries to bury them and only Jon Jones got favorable treatment. Too bad Zuffa isn't around to rain him in any more....I can't wait till he retires.
I’m conflicted if it’s messed up for someone to retire right after getting a belt
Here to add Sean Strickland to the list
Dana saying Cris Cyborg "looks like Wanderlei Silva in a dress and heels" 😂😂😂😂
And I could never unsee it from them on out😂😂😂
Because Dana is so easy on the eyes
was he wrong though?
@@andu1854 dana looks like a sunburnt thumb
Dana White: Except Ronda and Conor, nobody was my friend not even UFC.
*conor mcgregor was never my friend*
@@jewl123 uuuu that hurt xd
Now you add sean strickland
This is a good video but you should have included Randy couture. Things got down right nasty between Dana and Randy toward the end
GSP's hall of fame video was released right before UFC 249 ended so it got over shadowed by tons of videos and had no time to shine on their channel.
Is it just me or is he still trying to bury GSP?
They put him in the HoF during one of the biggest cards of the year. Also that's how they induct everyone that I've seen.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't his video BEFORE the main fight between Tony and Justin? If you're referring to the youtube video, then fair but UFC channel posts videos constantly so it's not just that video's limelight taken away. Plus it's the most stacked card of the year so far, before a highly anticipated fight during a time where everyone is at home watching. I don't think he is trying to bury GSP at all, why would he? Plus he will apparently have an induction ceremony later this year after the pandemic has calmed down.
Today I checked UFC's official website and they haven't even put GSP on their HOF page. Weird. It's one of the simplest task out there.
Does anybody give a shit about the "UFC Hall of Fame?" Seriously, it's just a corporate marketing ploy to self-promote by building "legends of the sport"(trademark) with some UFC corporate monkeys picking and choosing who gets in to their little special club. It's just as dumb and self-serving as the so-called "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" and just as meaningless.
@@blazinchalice This is pretty much true. (Although people do care more about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, mostly because it's an actual place)
UFC HoF is just a list and promotion. It's pretty obvious and lame when they made a big deal about Royce and Ken being the first inductees, throw in one of the Tapout guys as a memorial, forgettables like Serra and Miletich in there, and clearly inferior favorites like Liddell and Griffin in years before an absolute legend like Sakuraba is recognized.
Until a group of journalists and industry guys can get financial backing to start a Hall of Fame independent of particular promotions and have actual criteria and analysis as part of the process, there is no real MMA Hall worth talking about.
I love how Dana is was love of Jones's idea of switching weight class, until he got asked for a raise. Pay attention to that, he hates Jon Jones now because of the money
Strange how crazy greedy Dana is. most of the fighters are still criminally underpaid
@@thewritefont9708 I know, In ufc most fighter barely get 7 figures for one fight, in boxing people make 7-8 figures easily
@@hez5354 No, most fighters barely get five figures, after taxes and expenses they barely take home four. Let alone seven lol
@@reubenbell1980 I’m saying that barely anyone gets good money in mma and in boxing we have people making like 30 million a fight. The only person who gets paid enough in mma is McGregor because Dana knows everything will get worse without him there
Or he hates Jon Jones because of the stuff Jon Jones does. You know what Jones does right?
Let's not kid ourselves, if GSP went to Dana and said he wanted to fight for the tittle he'd made that fight in a heartbeat, especially if Kamaru gets the belt back. Dana would probably let him fight Izzy for the belt also, the PPV buys will outweigh the drama of a vacated belt. Dana is money driven.
12:49 I love how confused Joe Rogan looks in the background
Rousey competed at 145 in her first 3 or 4 fights...after she sat ringside and watched Cyborg destroy someone...Rousey dropped weight to 135, knowing Cyborg was too big to follow.
That's called being smart
It was the Carano fight.
@@roughgooch7859 I really miss her weight cuts
Cejudo pissed me off. The only reason I wanted him to win was because I knew if dom won he would retire with the belt. I didn’t expect Henry to do that
Cejudo doesnt draw money which means he doesnt draw attention... its best we forget as soos as possible
Roberto C Rodriguez hmm idk about that chief
@@robertocrodriguez4359 i hope everybody forgets keith pererson exists
@@javierfromthegggnetwork9657 don't worry buddy. Everyone learns at their own pace
Cejudo thinks he's the best combat athlete of all time, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's largely forgotten outside of the history books and a passing reference whenever someone challenges for two belts.
I'm still POed at Dana for how he treated GSP after allowing Hendricks to refuse the tests without disqualifying him... Dana knew damn well that Hendricks was roiding and should have commended GSP for remaining standing after all that roid-raging punishment...
Now you can add Sean Strickland to this list, lol.
Dana literally wanted the gloves that Liddell used to defeat Tito. I can't imagine Dana likes that guy too much..
Klaus that would be an amazing piece to have in your man cave
@KHABIB TIME!!! you're an idiot
@Klaus Dana already said that he got Chucks gloves which he used to beat Tito with in a interview, he also told that gloves hanging in a glass box above his front door lol
@@keenl4057 why's he a idiot? Cause Tito was the first guy to start asking for a fair share? Tito and Ken saved the UFC with their rivalry. Dana was a hot headed coke snorting wannabe big shot back then. Dana's a different guy now.
@KHABIB TIME!!! The match was set up. Dana got into shape, got a license, and set a date. Tito bitched out.
