i would add that he said that rachelle leah is one of the very few girls that playboy DIDNT have to airbrush, she’s that flawless, wich i think is great b/c the airbrushing makes it look to fake to me. he also said she was in brazil to do an all access with anderson silva. im kinda stuck on rachelle(lol). i think dana is going to let the guys knock the shit out of junie if and when he starts getting out of line and drunk. i ve read where when the last situation with junie happened dana asked the other fighters “why didnt you just knock the crap out of him”, meaning that i think that he will start letting guys stick up for themselves and anything goes with junie. cant wait to see him get his drunk-ass bitch-slapped. tune-in tonight.

U all r considering junie, he actually trains hard and i believe u havent seen the best of him yet, the mans got talent and i kno he has the mind and i think after his last fight u will see a fresher better allen junie browning

the reason why he kept junie was simple…..he makes good tv
by bradpittfightclub on Oct 15, 2008 9:32 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
He makes good TV and he’s young fighter with a lot of potential (Dana values that lol), not like the other less talented guys he’s kicked off in the past for actually throwing punches or trying to break arms. What Jessie Taylor did was outside of the house in Fertitta’s casino and terrorizing patrons of the casino. What Junie did was in the TUF House, a little different standard I guess. Junie was on the verge of fighting, not actually punching anyone, just acting out like a sick child, throwing glass (dangerous) and other crap… it’s like not going all the way with a girl… he didnt’ actually punch someone, White would have kicked him off for sure.
That was my take on it.
by THORAZINE on Oct 15, 2008 5:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he did straight kick someone lol… dont really see how thats much different than punching someone but what do i know? lol “terrorizing guests” what exactly is that? jesse taylor should change his name from “yellow submarine” to “the terrorizer”

just talking about junie and how someone from the show could end up being the next anderson silva. dana also says that it really is one of the best seasons ever. he said he didnt know why but he didnt wanna kick junie off the show. by the way… it aint junie whos the possible next a. silva!!!

VM: I saw Phillipe Nover fight on March 16th, 2007 ant AC Ring of Combat.. I did not see much of his stand up.. he fought a Team Rhino fighter.. I blinked the fight was on hte ground.. I blinked again.. he secured a Kimura. fight over. I remeber him walking towards the ring.. with a samurai sword. I was thinking after he disposed of a tuf mofo in Duarte.. that OK.. Brooklyn in the house without a doubt.

Thanks for the intel Phil. My guess is also that it will be Nover

It can’t be Junie. Junie (unfortunately) is like Melvin without the coke. Erratic, alcoholic- it’s a shame because obviously he’s very talented, but he just insists on f’n everything up in front of him.
by DSmith on Oct 15, 2008 11:22 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The only reason there’s no coke involved is because crystal meth is the drug of choice for trailer trash like Junie. A month’s worth of welfare checks would only buy enough coke to keep him high for a day or so, but meth is so much cheaper it just makes more sense for the trailer trash to go that route.

Love him or hate him, Dana always gives great interviews.
by the_mexicutioner on Oct 15, 2008 10:00 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
yeah i really liked it. I’ve always been a Dana White fan. As for the TUF “Anderson Silva”, I think it could be Nover as well, but why is no one talking about it being the LHWs?
by sinister on Oct 15, 2008 10:10 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Originally I believe Dana said that he could be the next light-weight Anderson Silva
by psyqo78®™ on Oct 15, 2008 10:41 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Correct, he said something like “We found the next Anderson Silva at LightWeight”

how could you hate dana???!!! i credit him for providing THE ONLY fucking thing on television that i give a shit about…fighting!
by allamerican on Oct 15, 2008 11:19 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
thats not fightin, fightin has no rule book. as far as dana, the only thing he’s lookin out for is himself. thats why so many people dislike him.

no will no who dana is calling the next silva untill he says there name everbody knows its either going to be junie/efrain/nover
remember he said in an interview with espn that he was 24 that could be nover
then in the tuf reunion he says that hes 22 that could be junie he went on the show when he was 20
but now he says its not junie so it could be efrain
so you deside who it is
by liamd on Oct 15, 2008 10:12 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Efrain is a WRESTLER. He has NOTHING in common with Silva. If its not Junie, then it must be Phillipe or someone that was in a fight to get in the house that they only showed highlights of. As of now, signs point to NOver.

WHAT? Junie is 23 and and you said he went on when he was 20? So the show takes 3 years taping? Efrain is 22 years old and Nover is 24, junie is 23
by TJ on Oct 15, 2008 11:40 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Junie doesn’t really know how old he is. Once he got past 18 he ran out of fingers and toes to count on.

PW- what is your issue man? i see all kinds of hate comments about people living in trailer trash and meth and just simply ignorant man. why doesnt mania band you comments? band other people for less crap and yet people like you are to spew all your stupidity out on everyone else.
by santiago69us on Oct 15, 2008 2:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Junie has described himself as trailer trash, and seeing how he has the emotional maturity and impulse control of a 4-year-old I won’t disagree with him. And are you going to argue that meth does not run rampant in trailer parks? It didn’t get the name ‘hillbilly heroin’ by accident.
As far as Junie goes, he has a chance to be a UFC fighter that lots of people would love to have and will never get, and he’s in all likelihood going to blow it because he flies completely off the handle at every little insignificant thing. If that’s not pure stupidity I don’t know what is.
by PW on Oct 15, 2008 3:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
dana was quoted for sayin the next anderson silva is lightweight and 24 in an interview with espn which means nover
but the he say in the tuf reunion to the guys that he is 22 that means junie who was 22 when he came on the show
now he says its not junie this means it could be efrain
so you deside who it is
by liamd on Oct 15, 2008 10:16 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Dana says, “UFC is king, everyone else sucks…love me, hate everyone else…I am your Lord of MMA…worship me…keep your eye on the watch…tick tock…tick tock”"
Pretty much sums up the interview.

ignore him guys-introvert-and he’ll go away. ive seen his kind before and all he wants is attention. dont give it to him and he will leave. i will no longer respond to him.

He is the King of MMA, without Dana and the boys buying the UFC and working it into the mainstream there would be no MMA anywhere in North America, it would be there but it would still be underground though. Thatrs why he take s it so personally when stupid people (ELITE XC) do stupid things(ELITE XC). Dana can do or say whatever he wants he put MMA were it is today and he still out there trying to put it were it isnt yet.

Sorry bro….I (we) put MMA where it is today….not one entity (God) Dana.

Spyder is right here bro… we the fans wouldnt have had the chance to put it on the map if it werent for them. They introduced it to us, built it to the point where it is accessible and the fans loved it and made it take off!

So if I understand you correctly, Introvert, it was you who secured a lucrative television deal for UFC and not Dana? And you who got UFC sanctioned all over the U.S. to give it legitimacy, and not Dana? And you who lured all the major mainstream companies to sponsor UFC and not Dana?
by PW on Oct 15, 2008 12:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I couldn’t care less if any of that stuff didn’t happen. I’d still be watching MMA, Muay Thai, Boxing, K-1, PRIDE, KOP, AD, etc…
Mainstream sucks.

Lol everytime you post anything Introvert it gets completely shot down. Its like you don’t think about what your saying. I realize this is an open forum but there comes a point when you have to ask yourself, “Do I really have a valid opinion here?” The answer for you is No. I’d suggest going to Sherdog or one of the other websites that is not as mainstream as Mania.

If it wasn’t for Dana White there would not be any UFC.Who saved UFC from folding ,who turned it into a billion dollar organization,if it was you why don’t I see your face or hear your voice on the interviews.All I hear from you is constantly hating on UFC,I do not like Dana White as a person ,but give credit where credit is due
by scott on Oct 15, 2008 7:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Dana is the MAN.I think that he built MMA up to what it is today.BTW I think that the guy he is talking about is Efrain.
by the Levi on Oct 15, 2008 11:36 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Efrain looked horrible in his fight. LnP and eventually got a triangle with less than 30 seconds in the fight. If he would have triangle’d him 3o seconds of the first round, then I might say hes that guy. From that fight against Nelson though, no. Efrain is NOT the next ASilva.

I love thaat line. “you picked a fight with me ,so now we ’re gonna fight until there is a winner and a loser”
by the Levi on Oct 15, 2008 11:48 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
anyone know who could be the next a. silva at lw in tuf? I figure at this point dana could just be bullshitting us about which guy it is bc hes trying to get us interested in tuning in. From the fights that have already happened i would say it isnt efrain or junie bc they used mainly gnp to win their fights. So a style similar to andersons would be good jiu jistsu with remarkable striking and i didnt notice any remarkable striking in any of the episodes yet.

Dana White is a Phillies fan, hell yeah. He also roots for my favorite Philly player, Shane Victorino. Haha.

I thought the most interesting part of that interview was that the UFC is HUGE in the Philipines and that the UFC will be doing shows over in Europe (like France or Germany (most likely since he didn’t say that specifically)) and in Dubai coming up.
Also, you can tell he’s really excited about the GSP/Penn showdown calls it “sick”. Also has big plans for guys like Anderson and Machida and the WEC promotion.
Other notes:
- he has fun doing the video blogs, they will continue has Rachelle Leah’s playboy already and says she was one of the only girls they haven’t airbrushed. Leah by the way went down to Brazil to film Silva’s training for 90 countdown.
-
- is excited about the next 4 yrs of the promotion, definitely working hard on making it global thinks TUF has been a great “training camp” for the UFC and really is a turning point in the life for many of these guys

Introvert every post i see from you is utter bull shit!! You need to saty away and stop poisining this sport, your a fool that just want to speak for the sake of speaking and to be different!!!
Give us all a break and do us all a favour.
Dana is tha man, he did put the sport where it is today and we should all be grateful to him for it, also the fertita’s aswell as they basically funded it. the ufc is gony be the greatest combat event on the planet if it isnt already!! I love every aspect of the ufc and the fact the best fights are at dana’s mercy!!!!

It’s all going to be moot anyway, once Mcain wins the presidency, MMA sanctioning is history.
by introvert on Oct 15, 2008 2:58 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
First, it’s a huge assumption that McCain is going to win. Second, MMA is sanctioned by individual states, not the federal government. And although the Congress and Senate routinely ignore it, the 10th amendment to the Constitution guarantees that all powers not clearly designeated to the federal government shall be left to the states.

i think the above comment shows this donks intelligence, let it die there. mccain even said he doesnt plan on doing anything to mma, now that there are rules and sactioning, he finds it reasonable, just not his cup of tea.

if dana truly cares about the SPORT as he says.then he should not have brock vs randy fight…its unfair to fighters like werdum and noguiera..they are discriminated for the sake of PPV which Dana mentions why elite X made a move not to take kimbo down(because of ppv)and he’s doing it right now.ngouiera deserves the first shot.but because he’s brazilian and low on ppv he’s not fighting randy…Dana is such a hypocrite…(bust my ass for the sport)yeah right you were going to sell it 2003…
