UFC’s President and CEO, Dana White, may have apologized for the anti-gay slurs, but the fight against his controversial youtube video isn’t over, folks. The Assn. of Women in Sports Media, wants the UFC company to take action against Dana White. Not only that he used the gay slur, he also used offensive words toward the women, like “cunt”, and others in the videos that offended the women.
The media group has also defended Loretta Hunt and they say that many women are also UFC and MMA fans. I think Dana needs to realize that many women are fans of the sport that he could turn women off.
This article doesn’t state what kind of action they want UFC to go against Dana White, whether they want him to get terminated as President or some kind of suspension/punishment, but it’s all up to Lorenzo and Frank Fertita, what they would do with Dana White since they are his bosses. The women media group just wants the UFC officials to confront Dana about this.
More on it here:
I actually kind of agree with them, that writers women media group, is right that men shouldn’t talk to women that way. It’s okay to swear in conversation, but calling innocent women, “bitch” or “cunt” is way out of line.
Loretta wasn’t acting like a bitch in her article about managers and agents not getting credentials at all, she’s just doing her job and doing news that a reporter would do.
While I’m sure, some people would like to see Dana fired for this, I’m sure his bosses would defend him and say he didn’t do anything wrong.

Dana isn’t getting fired. He’s part owner of the UFC. He you read his lips in that video, he called her a greasy, yeast infected, cottage cheese spittled twat. That ain’t swearing in my book.

BTW, he didn’t call her CUNT, he was saying her last name, HUNT. Speaking of which, I think I know her brother Mike!
I know he didn’t call her “cunt”, but he did call her a “bitch” at the end of it. I was just setting an example that you don’t call women either of those names.
If you actually read the article, Dana White is not the owner of UFC, he’s just the president and the CEO, that doesn’t mean you’re the owner. He’s just the manager that runs the company. The article says Lorenzo and Frank Fertita, who are casino owers, are the owners of the UFC business, which means they have the right to decide whether they let Dana go or if he stays.

Actually, he is. http://msn.foxsports.com/boxing/story/9408882/White%27s-rant-sends-UFC-down-dangerous-path. Read this:
In other pro sports leagues — the ones that White wants to have the UFC mentioned along with — these are the kinds of comments that would get a commissioner fired. I don’t expect the promotion to take that step with White, who is a part-owner of UFC’s parent company.

The Fertitta Brothers would have to buy Dana out to “fire” him. He is the major face of the UFC, more than any fighter. He’s not going away.

Read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_White
Dana is only 10% owner of a promotions company called Zuffa. Not UFC. Dana is just the president/CEO of UFC, not the owner. The Fertita Brothers own UFC, Dana is just part owner of Zuffa.
That Fox sports article just made a mistake. I was right, you were wrong.

He owns 10% of Zuffa. Zuffa owns the UFC. Hence, he is part owner of the UFC.

I guess you’re right that Zuffa does own the UFC, just read about it here:

I don’t know much about the UFC business, since I’m not much of a fan, but even if Dana does own a little part of the business, it is possible he could lose his job.
What if Loretta decides to file the guy a lawsuit, that’s a way. It is possible a business owner can lose their job, definitely. Their business could get shut down with a slander and libel lawsuit. It could happen anytime. Loretta could sue Zuffa or UFC altogether. It’s possible.

Talk about censoring comments that make me out to look like the smart guy. Wow.

They’d have to buy out his portion first. I’m glad you agree with me. Cheers!
Man, you are so right. Some guys get lucky and have a “title” but aren’t the majority of power in a company. Just like you said.
Dana is a what they call in the fighting world as a guy who “dresses to the left.”
That means he thinks he is cool but he doesn’t know that he can be fired any time.
He might be able to stay home and count his money and hot ring girls in bed because he owns 10% but he wont be on tv calling people the “Cu.. word” and the “Bi… word” and the “Fa…. word” and the “Ni…. word.” He’s a wannabe tough guy from Boston that only taught boxercize classes. Talk about being a fruit!
It makes me sick to hear some lady called names like that. I hope that lady sues his bald head off.
When we have a “beef” with a reporter in my gym in Troy we ask the news lady or guy (even if they really are gay or black or a total lying bitch or whatever) to settle it in the ring. We arent even prejudiced we just think there should be justice and fairness to all.
People have to back up their words and they cant go calling names on tv.
You have a level head because people get out of line like Dana White even on blogs.
WTF is The Legend? There is a gym in LA called Legends that is really good and famous for UFC fighters like Eddie Bravo and Mahem Miller (no relation).

Shannon, thanks for discovering my blog if this is really you. I’m glad you agree with everything I said.
Dana not only offended homosexuals and the women, I’m sure he’s offended the children. There are children that watches the UFC, yes, I know there are young UFC fans…Dana needs to think about the children that watches UFC. Think how their parents wouldn’t let them watch it anymore after that video rant he did.
So you own a mixed martial arts school in Cohoes, that’s freakin’ cool. I’ve been working out a lot and trying to get fit, so I can do some martial arts. I’m looking to get into martial arts this summer. Your school look pretty cool, but it’s too far for me to travel. I would stick with the “NY Martial Arts Academy” in Greenwich.
Thanks for stopping by and stop by anytime.
