Dana White, Please Give Bloggers a Chance

Perhaps I am in the minority, but I think Dana could do a lot worse to the UFC by ignoring the buzz on the MMA sites than by considering some of their opinions.

Two of my favorite sites are Fightbook and ProElite. The posters, except for two that I can think of, do not have crude or dirty mouths, and actually have mature and very thoughtful concepts for the continuing popularity of the sport of MMA.

It is true that many bloggers disagree with many of the 'Dana' decisions,  but in retrospect, I am sure you regret them as well.

Fortunately, you are in a position to rethink these and undo or redo them at a later time and come out as the fans' hero.

For me, I would have to ask for the use of fewer f-bombs.

Your shows are reaching a much younger audience than you originally intended; the upside of this is that they have allowances to buy your many products and will just grow up to be even greater fans in the future. 

By speaking in a less provocative, less explicit manner, you could gain the approval of parents and teachers everywhere and really have a beneficial impact on the youth of America.

The dirty mouthed bloggers, after all, feel they are just following in your macho image by their foul talk.

Is it really so terrible that bloggers love Andre Arlovski and Randy Couture and would love having them back on UFC?

Are the fights that bloggers want to see that much inferior to those Joe Silva matches up?

Couldn't you, the UFC, and the fans all benefit from allowing them to have a bigger voice in making the sport something that everyone's dreams are made of?

The fantasies of fight fanatics all over the world hang in the balance.

Would it really hurt you to listen to the bloggers' voices?
