Forget that Howard Cosell stuff Ariel. You should strive to be the Charlie Rose of MMA. :D
Will his lecture be available online somewhere afterwards?
Ariel has a valid point about "too much MMA". Even if you grow your viewership doesn't mean you need more shows. Most of the viewers watch the same content. There's already some criticism of shows growing thinner, spreading the "stars" around. Let's face it, most of the fan base is interested in the big names. You can only really grow as much as you have stars to fight in these shows. The only thing I can see where this argument doesn't apply is if the UFC starts to create "local leagues" where you have the Indian UFC, and the Chinese UFC, and these stars on these shows are fighting mostly on those shows. There will be cross viewership, but for the most part people will stick to their "region". It's possible. I could see that happening. Could be interesting.
Lets see if ariel gets a interview after this event is finsished b/c at ufc119 i didn't see a interview with dana white b/c dana was prolly disgusted by frank mir and cro cops boring 3 round fight and bader and nogs B.S. 3 round fight b/c if you notice after the last 5 or so ufc events dana white and ariel always meet besides ufc 119 was the first i didn't see any after fight interviews with dana
i like dana white and stand by his opinion
At 1;56 shut up ariel You act like you just named the most important people in the world Malcom X , Mother teressa aka some hob'ish women and dolly lama who in the hell is that Goober ahahahahahahahahahaha atleast you got a kennedy on there . Malcom X was a real racist Black man and was a piece of garbage
Whatever! You don't have to agree or like the people he named; the point is you know who these people are, and that's the point: famous, recognizable people who have done things most people have heard of. That's all.
4real, what have ya ever done.
spoken like a true ignorant loser
I pray I see your punk #ss someday so I can shatter you teeth, you illiterate sack of trash.
These guys are going Global. All you Strikeforce haters are right. These folks here are in another league. Forget New York they want Beijing and New Delhi. I like it. I think it's cool. As a supporter of M1, K1, Jewels, Impact FC, Moosin, DREAM, WVR, MFC and whatever else I come across from overseas I'm all into it.
I do like my KOTC, SF, and especially Bellator too. I like the set up of BFC. I honestly think MMA can become an Olympic event. It'll probably be more catch wrestling because of rules but still. I mean even Olympic Boxing is less action and more point driven. Anyways are they in the Oxford Library? Ha ha. Scott Coker ain't got nothing on this.
MMA is for wannabe thugs watching real thugs
donna aka dana whhite quick acting like p---y ok
dana let bobby lashey join you figth club and see who azz he will beat your pet (randy)or brock was scare of goldberg hahahah

Dana White made a terrible mistake selling part of his company to foreign interests and has no idea what he is dealing with. I doubt Mr. White will even control his company five or ten years from now.
Its not his company Zuffa owns it.
