Dana White Believes Strikeforce Sent Mayhem Into Cage

UFC president Dana White was a guest on Tuesday's "Jim Rome Is Burning" to discuss Saturday's in-cage melee at the recent Strikeforce event on CBS. He thinks that Strikeforce sent Jason "Mayhem" Miller into the cage to challenge middleweight champion Jake Shields in order to "save face."

That's exactly what happened. Strikeforce instigated the whole thing. If you can't see that, you're a moron. Strikeforce is done. RIP

Strikeforce is such a joke. They give Brett Rogers a title shot after his last fight which was losing to Fedor. Their heavyweight champ Overeem hasn't defended his title and he's had it for 2 years now. Their light heavy champ King Mo isn't even ranked and former champ Mousasi is just like Brandon Vera, all hype and not that talented. I hope Babalu rematches Mousasi and Babalu pulls a "David Heath" ending on him. Strikeforce couldn't even keep their former middleweight champ Cung Lee to fight full time, which by the way he wasn't even ranked when he held the title. Nick Diaz is quite possibly the biggest sack of crap in the sport and he is more talented at mouthing than he is at fighting. There's a reason why he isn't in UFC any more. As for Mayhem Miller, he is more of a character or TV personality than he is a mma fighter. He needs to stick with his shitty MTV show. Everyone knows that Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker had Miller go in there and stir shit up. I think its great they just spent a ton on Hendo to get him in there and he gets dominated 4 out of 5 rounds. I hope Shields leaves as middle champ and Fedor defeats Werdum, earns a title shot, wins the title from Rogers/Overeem winner, and also leaves Strikeforce as champion.

In this upcoming summer,the most frequently updated footwear are Nike shoes,Popular, stylish and practical...Recently,I just go around some nike retails store,and particularly found some nice basketball shoes,hype dunks,air force,and somes that belongs to LeBron James Shoes.And this year's pop color is sport red,in stores,I saw many sneakers using red colorway,they are available now in such nike retails.

It is worth mentioning that some lows nike shoes are really simple with little color use,as a saying that goes good,"simple but not simple",other footwear with features including the red accents that can be seen on the swoosh and outsole.I think such style may be limited,and probably are sought after the basketball enthusiasts and expected to hit this Summer.

Dana busted out the heavy gravy and laid down the motherfuckin law! Strikefoce fucking sucks and it's bad for the sport. They're putting on cans and wash ups. Not a single fighter is ranked for shit. Shields is the best fighter and he's boring as watching paint fucking dry.

suck my motherfuckin cock bitches!

This is the most stupid somment I have ever heard from Dana White. There have been a lot of these Strikeforce bashing comments. Why would Strikeforce risk CBS contract and possibly get their best fighters suspended from the league.

Dana White, you aim for global MMA monopoly which is never good for the fighters or fans of MMA. Let there be different organizaions and let the best fighters of each organisations fight in some sort of champions league. Look at the mirror and stop the greed if you really are a fan of mixed martial arts.

I was impressed with SF.

The fact that SF is stirring this much heated debate on the internet means that they are doing something right.

Tice is a fucking moron. He predicted (1) Mir would beat Shane, (2) Nog would beat Cain, (3) Gonzaga would beat JDS, (4) Rogers would beat Fedor, and many more retarded predictions.

He is a noob is all I can say.

C'mon dude, how old are you? 12? Global domination is the name of the game! At the end of the day this is a business! Dana White is no different than any other CEO or corporate honk, you don't see Steve Jobs praising Microsoft! Give us a break, it's not an underground sport any longer, so check your bleeding heart ... wake up and smell the 21st century. It's called capitalism son! If you want to defend a lesser promotion, fine whatever, you're entitled to your opinion, but don't bash on the UFC for having established themselves as a multi-billion dollar organization and the undisputed leader in the industry.

Why does everyone think CBS is pissed about the brawl??? For the casual viewer, the show was boring as shit. CBS had to be overjoyed that there was an exciting finish to the show that is generating controversy and talk. CBS wants viewers and people to talk about their shows, not snoozefest fighting for 2 hours.

Dana is not to smart.

PR 101: Don't talk about your competition in interviews.

Dana is so fearful of any other promotion, it's laughable.

Dana helps Strikeforce every time he talks about Strikeforce. Free publicity is free publicity.

Anonymous said...

Right, are you are pretty smart if you think Strikeforce is going to benefit from all this free publicity.

Anonymous said...

"Dana is not smart"??

Are you kidding? Dana is a marketing genius and is responsible for the UFC being as huge as it is right now. What he is and has been doing is working, and thus he is very smart.

I don't think Dana need a lesson in PR 101 from anyone on this website.

I bet you are an arrogant american kid who thinks McDonalds is the best company out there. You may prefer your mainstream UFC with Dana White. I don't and it makes me wonder how blind can people be.

Great power brings great responsibility. Mr. White doesn't have it. He is a great promotor but surely not the best guy to develop this sport.

Pride was great under DSE and Nobuyuki Sakakibara. People also respected the fighters and there were no booing around.

WOW so many dana white ball gaggers on here. Believe everything he says to be truth eh? Didn't Dana White hold brock's hand and bring him into the cage after Carwin's win against Mir??? For what? a photo op? noooo.. they gave them mics. White is a bitch. Overeem true hasn't defended the title in a long time, but it's still better having one title holder instead of two. How many times in the last 6 years has there been two heavytitles in the ufc? 3 or 4 times? UFC is the joke they get all their fighters from reality shows!! Their roster is filled with reality show stars! Same people on here that booed Kimbo now cheer for him now just because he's on the UFC. Which should really be called URFC Ultimate Reality Fighting Championship. Where there's no talent but great ratings!! Keep wasting your money on your great champs like Brock Lesnar and Anderson Silva. They are great Headliners!

Scott Coker also says that he wasnt there when this whole thing was going down..lol..its the main event of that card..such a load of shit.

Tice said...

Ok somebody said I thought Rogers would beat Fedor, Mir would beat Carwin, and Gonzaga would beat JDS. Yeah I never bet on those guys. I did think Nog would beat Velaquez and I was fucking wrong. Ive been pretty right but I do get a few predictions wrong. Hey Maul, you said I graduated to Moron but you got on here and didn't post anything about the post. What does that put you at? Maybe Fucking Dipshit?

fedoriskingofmma said...

Tice made predictions....so what? he predicted Gonzaga to win....a lot of people thought he would win...he is tough. he thought big Nog would win..he was the favorite wasn't he????? i thought that CBS sent mayhem in the cage at first and tweeted that right when it happened...it was to all conspiracy theorists, a joke sort of. idk, they probably did do it for the publicity. those fights were so fucking horrible. boring. i can't believe mousasi lost. he looked so good and not just the hype....im a old school mma fan...pride days...the bj/frankie fight was so boring i actually fell asleep several times during it and now they are going to have a rematch!!!!!!!!!!!! that will be another ufc event that i don't buy. and they are charing for the wec another 60 bucks!!!! omg, they are ruining mma for me. the fighters are now becoming business men that are fighting to not lose...points is what they are concerned with which is great for their wallets...but for the fans not great...that's because there needs to be new rules put in place...back to a yellow card type deal, and something that will encourage fighters to finish fights....like a draw and sudden win round...something should be done because the momentum has this feel, even though it's only a handful of boring fights lately, but i still feel like the momentum is for boring fights to occur and i don't want any boring fights..cuz i am a spoiled retarded mongrel that belongs in a zoo.

Dana White and the UFC need promotions like Strikeforce to prove the UFC has the best fighters. Without competition from other promotions, how would you prove you are the best? Dana needs to worry about the UFC and not other promotions.

rotog45 said...

truth is, strike force has very little talent (now go ahead and name 4 or 5 guys and stack your point on those 1/2 dozen), UFC does have MANY more top rated fighters,and the vast majority of those fighter fighting in UFC can be handed directly to Dana. if a fighter want to fight the BEST, they go UFC. the only exception that i'll give is WEC. there is alot of badasses there too. i'm a HUGE Fador fan...but its starting to look like hes ducking real fighters..if you wanna fight the tuffest, most skilled, badasses in MMA....you gotta fight in the UFC.
