Say What? Now I Really Have A Bone to Pick with Dana White!

If this is not just some loathsome trick or simply a piece of idle gossip, I will certainly have to make some sort of protest to Dana White!

In reading an article on the Couch Potato site I learned that "allegedly" Jesse Taylor the same bad boy who kicked out a limousine window, staggered into a Vegas nightspot, terrorized women at a bar and yelled at security guards that "he was the f'n Champion of the UFC Tuf series."

Please Mr. "I really threw the book at this kid" Dana White, tell me this can not be true?

How slowly Mr. White forgives his former friends like Randy Couture and Tito Ortiz and drags them through the court system to get revenge, but how soon he forgets what millions of viewers and even the two coaches of the Tuf 7 series did not hesitate to tell him, "This is NOT someone you want to represent the UFC."

Where will Dana's credibility go if he does in fact allow Jesse Taylor to come back to the UFC to fight on the free July 19 "let's screw with Affliction's first show Banned" fight?

Or perhaps with all the shenanigans he is responsible for, Dana White IS the crazed egomaniac that his adversaries have been claiming he is, and is unhampered by any or all business ethics--a dangerous situation for the CEO of any company to be find himself in.

Even one entire month off the booze is not enough to reform an alcoholic, and I am fairly certain that by anyone's definition, Jesse Taylor is indeed an alcoholic.

What can Dana White, the brain of the UFC, be thinking?

Yes, I do believe in second chances for almost everyone (excluding child abusers and murders), but I am not naive enough to believe that a month of sobriety is proof that this unfortunate (for being exposed on a reality show) young man deserves to be given this second chance at this time.

The feedback I got from the article I wrote describing the drinking and destruction of the mansion used as the Tuf house for the fighters abhors more people than it pleases.  (Yes there were some 17 and 18 year olds who tried to tell me this is also their idea of a grand old time, but they were in the minority, thankfully,)

As time progresses the UFC Tuf series will become more famous for encouraging the fighters it supposedly wants to turn into the MMA world's best fighters, into the most pathetic drunken losers of our society and will have publicly shamed them and humiliated their families.

What a tragedy when a reality show about developing MMA fighters who will be idols of our young people, instead becomes a spotlight on one of the greatest American tragedies of our time--the development of the young alcoholics doomed for a long life of failure and lost opportunities.
