UFC 83: Dana White on 'Off the Record' to promote 'Serra vs. St. Pierre II' in Canada

Dana White Video

Props: TSN.com

And in ridiculous fashion -- there really never was a general sale -- tickets for UFC 83 are all gone. In fact, it's the "fastest sellout in UFC history." That's more than 21,000 seats gobbled up during the presale. Wow.

Real great interview … what’s wrong with this jerk? He just likes to ruffle feathers.

 What’s the capital of Canada?
Dana: Uhhh Quebec?

How will Tito do on Celebrity Apprentice?
Dana: I dunno he’s a weasel, he’ll probably go far.

How many Jenna Jameson movies have you seen?
Dana: None I can’t stand Jenna Jameson.

One word to describe Randy Couture?
Dana: Legendary.

One word to describe Vince McMahon?
Dana: Genius.

How would you look with Don King’s hair?
Dana: Actually I was him for Halloween last year, I looked pretty stupid.

I cant wait for tito to beat this #5 ranked lightweight in the worl and then look a dana( the former aerobics instructer) and flip him off and i hope the brothers resighn tito to a contract but if they dont and tito wins it just goes to show that the future fighters that are ranked (not all)but alot of them are overated from the ufc hyping up alot with not alot of competive fights under their belt.And what i mean by that is an average joe like us who doesnt have alot of experience can train in mma and win about seven or eight fights against amatures,this doesnt mean that were ready to step in the ring against rampage and kick his butt.and also if im 8-0 against nobodys i shouldnt be ranked untill i fight someone that is a veteran and do well against,and i dont mean just one veteran im talking about 2-3 good fighters then we can start talking title shots,fighters these days fight a bunch of nobodys and want ppv title shots dana you gotta open your eyes people will stop buying this stupid bullcrap.

Reports surfaced today that the UFC will hold an event in either Boston or New York THIS YEAR! Wait till that happens, those tickets will be sold out in record time!

Damn, Michael Landsberg is one obnoxious loudmouth. Where the hell does his ego come from? The guy is just an annoying douchebag. But come on Dana, Quebec is the capital of Canada? If you’re expanding into another country, at least know a little bit about the place!

Buddy, WTF are you going on about? Does this have anything to do at all with the video of Dana? Did you take your Ritalin this morning? And by the way, learn to use the space bar and the shift key.

Calm down. Do you spend all day looking through the website for any mention of Tito just so you can talk about him?

ORTIZ should really consider changing his screenname to Ortiz_2001_Baby! because that was the last year that Tito was of any significance to a UFC championship.

Since UFC sold out so fast for the 1st event in Canada. Maybe they should look at doing a UFC this summer in Calgary during the Calgary Stampede. MMA fights are sanctioned in Alberta and I think it would be a great time to come out west to do a UFC event.

by Jo on Feb 8, 2008 3:52 PM EST reply actions  

How did that promote St.Pierre-Serra? Neither of them were mentioned. Also, I made some sweet cash betting the G-Persons over the Cheatriots and taking only 7 1/2 points.

Nobody wants to go to a province with a bunch of gay cowboys, especially during the Stampede. No thanks, Montreal has always supported boxing and MMA, whereas Calgary has supporting ugly women and freeloaders (no provincial tax).

Are you saying that Machida is overrated and being hyped up by the UFC? First off, he has beaten Rich Franklin (one of only 2 people to do it), BJ Penn (albeit fighting over his weight class) and now Sokoudjou. He also holds wins over Stephan Bonnar and Nakamura who are solid fighters in their own right. Besides his perfect record over respectable fighters, he hasn’t been hyped at all by the UFC due to his propensity for winning by decision. They’ve been sending him the message that if he wants bigger fights and more exposure then he needs to be more exciting and finish his fights (like he did in his last outing).

Machida is a true sleeper, if you don’t see that you’re just a noob UFC fan. Machida has true skill and he has a real advantage training with Anderson Silva. Watch his fights closely and look at his style. It’s top notch and he’s a handful for the top LHW’s in the division.
