What is Dana thinking?

iTotally agree, but iDont think negotiations between Hendo and Zuffa have permanently been stopped. Its mainly about the money, Kimbo has drawing power. iDont know what is up with Dana, first the Rampage thing and now this

its not all about the sport in the end ufc is a business so yeah Dana has to do business. I do agree that it was a horrible idea to let Hendo go but stuff like that happens all the time, Dan will in all likely hood be re-signed really soon. As far as kimbo goes, well Dana gave him his chance on the ultimate fighter, if he comes back cause someone is injured and he wins then he deserves his contract as well. Kimbo did actually improve a lot to his credit, but the ground takes a long time to develop. At the same time to a lesser extent the same could be said for Brock lesnar, although he had a solid base, the only reason he got thrown into the title mix so soon was his name otherwise all hes is, is just a big big BIG guy with good wrestling. Kimbo is pretty old to be starting his career but hes got a big name also one or two solid wins, improved ground, and he could be competing for a title, Hendo will be re-signed mainly cause hes got lots of support and theres no way he'll reduce himself to places like strike force, so effectively your rant was sorta useless cause all the answers are simple

we all need to remember this is still a money making business.yes hendo would kill kimbo.but can he beat him in ratings..no.tuf 10 has the best ratings ever.And if kimbo is worth more in ratings to the ufc then a cheaper kimbo is worth more than an expensive hendo. Yeah ,its not fair to us or the fighters but the equation is simple.ppv buys Times 45 dollars divided by the salary of the fighters on the main event.In hendos case this may be he earns 1%of the ppv he generates,in kimbos case he prob earns about .01 %of the ppv revenues he generates.(kimbo worth more for business)

Ahahahaha.

Don't kid yourself. It is definitely about the money. And that goes for all sports, too. If people stopped watching and attending football games, the sport would quickly wither and die. MMA is no different. No one is going to spend millions on promoting something wtihout expecting back more in return.

That being said, that doesn't mean the sport can't be honest.

The reason Dana wants Kimbo is because he is a good draw. People want to see him fight, and so do I. And don't worry, if he repeatedly gets his butt kicked, he'll be out of the UFC in no time.

you know i agree with you a lot bro. but why is all this kimbo hate? i meen i think kimbo could be a decent undercard fight man. i thank weave all seen that hell never be a champ but hes trying. kimbo looks to be just an undercard fighter...whats the big old deel? youre a loyal mma fan right? as for any sport in the mane stream its about money bro... he wants mma to be popular though as whell... as for brock lesnar hes the champ! end of story... he didnt desearve the shot? hes not exsperienced enoughf? BUT he did beet who he hadda beet so what does it matter? i understand where youre comming from man but seriously why so much hatin on em? its really no big deel. az for dan hendo im shure hell b back...and as far as rampage...danas right in some ways about it...if rampage doessent wanna focus on fighting and act then get outta here....

People can say plenty of matters approximately Dana White. He's an asshole, he swears an excessive amount of, blah blah, and so forth. But nobody can say he hasn't been well for the UFC. He purchased the UFC for $two million in 2001, and he is grew to become it into 1000000000 buck enterprise on account that then. The Fertittas themselves have stated that Dana White was once born to run the UFC. I have a tendency to agree.

kimbo is a great (street) fighter. he hasnt had enough time to train for mma. they should train him alot better and more then i think in a few years he will be ready for a fight. hopefully someday he will fuc* up lesnar. same with lesnar he has no skills at all. all he does is the hamar fist and ground and pound i wanna see him have a better fight without have to use the same thing for every fight.

He lies and love the money.
