Dana White hat sich mal wieder geuaessert zu seinen wohl derzeit zwei unbeliebtesten Fightern:
Zu Jon Fitch:
“In the time Jon Fitch was with us, we paid him $302,000 in discretionary bonuses – $302,000. That's money that me and Lorenzo decided to give him above and beyond the deal that he signed. He also made $130,000 on performance bonuses for his two 'Fight of the Night' bonuses. That's a hostile work environment? Everything that Jon Fitch said is complete and total bullshit.
Jon Fitch said he was working under a hostile work environment and that he never had an opportunity and should have double the wins he had with us. He was complaining about what he had to go through here, about people saying stuff under their breath to him and all this bullshit. Jon Fitch is so full of shitt. He's fucking delusional. First of all, he had every opportunity that anyone else had. After Georges St-Pierre beat the living shit out of him, did we treat him differently or anything?
Just to lay it out with facts, Jon Fitch lost to Georges St-Pierre at UFC 87. He had an opportunity to fight for the title, and he got destroyed in that fight. He fought to a draw with B.J. Penn in a top contender fight. Then he gets a chance to be a No. 1 contender again and gets knocked fucking dead in the first round by Johny Hendricks. What fucking opportunities has he not been given?
He was prominently featured on tons of UFC pay-per-view events. 'GSP'-B.J. Penn was the main event at UFC 94, and Jon Fitch was on that fight card against Akihiro Gono. He was on UFC 100 vs. Paulo Thiago. He was on UFC 111 against Ben Saunders, and 'GSP' and Dan Hardy were the main event of that one. UFC 117 against Thiago Alves? That was Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen in the main event. He's fought on all the most prominent cards. When he had a baby, we sent him an awesome baby basket. Do you do that to somebody you don't give a shit about? He's 35 years old, and since 2011, he's gone 1-2-1.
In business, you're going to butt heads every now and then. But I've said publicly many times that I have no grudge with Jon Fitch. That whole thing is overplayed. He was given multiple opportunities and couldn't win the big fight. He's trying to make it personal. It's the furthest fucking thing from personal.”
Zu Rampage:
“Rampage' comes out and says he's so happy – he's the happiest he's ever been. Why wouldn't he be happy? 'Rampage' himself, and I'm quoting 'Rampage,' came out and said, 'I don't have what it takes to compete with the best in the world anymore.' That's a quote from 'Rampage.' Now you're fighting in (TNA) where the outcomes are predetermined. You can start winning again. I'm sure they're paying him a shitload of money. Why would he not be happy? I'm happy for him, too. Good for him.
He's full of shit. I was never the same after 'The A-Team'? He was never the same after 'The A-Team.' He lost his love of fighting a long time ago. He wanted to be a movie star. The movie star thing didn't work out, so fighting is where he makes his money. Unfortunately, he's unhappy about that. That's not my fault.
