Dana White Really the Top Dog?

Dana White finally released a scathing commentary about the Elite XC's last show and the loss of their biggest star, Kimbo Slice. How he held his own opinion in for so long, as caustic as it is, heaven only knows.

Dana unleashed the usual number of expletives during his tirade. But frankly, after watching the farce that he has allowed the UFC TUF series to become in its eighth season, I see little difference in him, and the supposedly guilty organization, of trying to fix their biggest fight.

Not that I would dare call Dana White a hypocrite. Though, he certainly has milked the excitement on the UFC series to the point of having an unstable individual attacking other fighters, one after another. Said fighter has used broken bottles and thus has endangered the other fighters with shards of broken glass all over the house and grounds on only the fourth day of filming.

Now, why on earth would a responsible businessman, with the safety of so many fighters in his hands, allow for a dangerous situation like this?

Would a true lover of the sport of MMA, one who wants to increase its popularity worldwide, stoop so low as to allow a dangerous situation to exist, simply to increase a reality TV program's popularity with violence-loving impressionable teens and young men?

Why, Dana? How is this going to legitimize the sport?

You cannot point your finger at Elite XC and accuse them of being a bad influence on the sport. Not when you have a show that supposedly focuses on the training and preparation of fighters while simultaneously putting it in the gutter along with the future alcoholics you are nurturing on the show.

As our illustrious president has tried to say, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."

You are no longer fooling anyone by trying to set yourself up as being the "superior voice" of MMA, you are right down there with all the rest, just a pretender to the throne.

You, Dana White, are making a circus out of the UFC, just as you have accused the Shaws of doing with the Elite XC.

Our first clue was recruiting your own version of a "Kimbo," Brock Lesnar, from the WWE.

The second was putting your new "man" up against a true champion—Randy Couture. You couldn't lower yourself to let a fighter from your organization go up against Slice, but you could manufacture your own "new phenom of MMA scenario," with different faces, and just as much hype and drama.

And now you have let the situation in the TUF house reach the level of an intensive care psychiatric unit, plus an alcoholic's wet dream—free liquor, a house to destroy, and other men to fight.

Dana White is not the top dog of MMA, but he does deserve to be in a kennel.

Of course, this is just my opinion.
