Dana is the man..no scratch that, Dana is the Daddy of all MMA. If he was a rapper then he’d be Snoop Dogg, if he was a car he’d be built like a Bently, if he was a champagne we would call him Cris, if he was a…..well you see where I’m going with this.

Nice interview and all, but I’ve heard this story before about 45 times from Dana…..Hey Dana great job!

…I honestly mean that

whoa! and here I was clicking on the comment link expect nothing but the usual hate towards Dana. Or maybe that’s just Sherdog.

Anyways props to Dana for helping this sport grow.

I think the documentary is a great idea to show all of the people who think this sport has not evolved from out of shape guys swinging blindly at each other. When they see footage of the old versus the new they can’t honestly admit that it’s the same. This is a smart move by CBS try to educate a potential new audience first before just pushing mma onto them.

I just love how people that don’t know the sport describes MMA “Today, mixed martial arts-a combination of judo, wrestling and boxing-is racking up big television deals” like definitively, that’s all it is – those three things.

You’d think with all the money behind MSNBC they could come up with a better video player than this piece-o-crap that I’m watching this thing on.

That was actually a very interesting interview, albeit a bit of a softball one. Thats fine though, if I heard anothing thing about Randy I would have shit myself.

Probably the best interview I’ve seen Dana do so far. I truly think his whole “cussing” thing is a calculated strategy to lure in the whole “males 18-35” demographic and it just depends on what venue he’s speaking with. Obviously it would have been in very poor taste to cuss around Michael Eisner and he didn’t even get close to pushing the line there. Dana’s not an idiot. He knows what he’s doing.

I was flipping through the channels last week and caught some of it. He was showing the UFC book. Damn that’s so stupid it makes me mad.
