Dana White: TUF 9 is the craziest season ever

Props: MMAWeekly

Quoteworthy:

"Season 9 was (expletive) awesome. It's the craziest season ever. First of all, it has the best fights, the best fights ever in The Ultimate Fighter history. You know how ever season the fighters fall into this team thing – my team, we hate your team thing? They fall into that (expletive). We're nine seasons and they get in there and it's this crazy 'Lord of the Flies' thing. Never has it been worse than when it's country versus country. When I say that, not only was it bad with the fighters, the coaches were even worse."

UFC President Dana White promises (once again) the best fights and the craziest season in TUF history on Season 9 of The Ultimate Fighter, starting tonight at 10 pm ET following UFC Fight Night 18 on SpikeTV. The "US vs. UK" format features Coach Dan Henderson leading a stateside team against Coach Michael Bisping and his British squad. Hopefully "crazy" means "crazy good" and not "I just took a dump on your pillow" crazy. I guess we'll find out tonight.

I’m guessing it’s the same old “I took a dump on your pillow” stuff.

TUF is lame now.

Very interesting. Typical underhand and sneaky tactics, Got Dana’s fingerprints all over it. That guy’s a C**t!

I’ve known this stuff forever!.. Dana is an egomaniac that has one thing in mind, and that is to make himself $$ by using the fighters.. He keeps the fighters business small while putting on these so called megafights which makes no sense at all sometimes but it sure as hell makes sense for the UFC cause they’re making tons of paper and their business goes through the roof!.. I’m gonna run around the block naked when Dana gets fired!

by RoB on Apr 1, 2009 12:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

I guess Dana shouldnt make any money huh RoB? The UFC puts up all the money for the show right? Look at Affliction, pays more than what they make and their going under. Is that where you want the UFC? Thats actually good news Kevin. Idiot Managers are the reason Fedor and many others are not in the UFC. Managers that think their fighter is worth more than what they really are. Why are Anderson, AA, Tim, Noons, Frank ect. all thinking about boxing? Its the Managers in their ears right? Dont get me wrong, “if it makes money, it makes sense” But dont hate on the UFC for looking out for their money too!

by JV on Apr 1, 2009 1:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

you can’t compare UFC to Affliction.. and yes Dana should make money like everyone else, i’m not going to argue with (Dana, UFC) lovers, cause you’re all blinded by his sh*t.

I am proper hyped up for this season, war UK!!!!

by Nick J on Apr 1, 2009 10:56 AM EDT reply actions  

god I hope it’s a good season, the work I put in to DVR it is unbearable. Spike has every episode rerun tagged as new, so it tapes the same episode 8 times in a week. If it sucks and I gotta delete 8 episodes a week manually, I’ll be pissed! That said, is wed. the regular night it will be on or will it change?

Im reaLLY JUST watching it for Bisping! I am a huge fan of the guy and his brash personality entertains the crap out of me. Look forward to seeing him Bitch Hendo out on the show and then beat his as sin the fight!

Bisping said on mmatv or one of the mma tv shows that after being around Hendo on the show, he will now GAURENTEE victory over dAn n I believe him. He said he will win eversy second of every round. Cant wait to see Bisping fight again! I was a big Dan Hendo fan, but Im sick of his underwhelming Ufc performances. WAR BISPING!Betting atleast $50 on BIsping!!!

by john on Apr 1, 2009 12:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

john i think your writing off dan to soon, i like bisping and think he has gotten alot better but i would be happy to bet you on this one, dan is going to win and maybe even knock out bisping.

by roy on Apr 1, 2009 12:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

No way, Bizbing wins by split decision!

Here’s what happens – First eight minutes Decision Dan takes Bizbing down at will and lies on him unable to do any real damage. Then his team quest crap cardio kicks in and Bizbing gets away on his toes doing laps of the octagon for the remaining time, whilst pitter pattering Dan with his powder puff punches. It then goes to the judges where Dana tells them to score the fight for Bizbing just like he did in the Hammill fight.

Simple as that!

by attakdog on Apr 1, 2009 1:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

i could see that happening, and i don’t think he will destroy bisping but if there is a ko it will be dan doing it. i just think dan will win this one.

by roy on Apr 1, 2009 1:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

nah! Bisping is going to use Hendo as his coming out party for the top of the MW division!

by john on Apr 1, 2009 3:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

Speed kills and Bisping is going to be way too fast and have to good footwotk for old man, steroid-less Henderson!

by john on Apr 1, 2009 3:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

not you too john, we all know the only one on steroids in pride was rampage.j/k i still got to disagree with you on this one and i am willing to bet on it.

by roy on Apr 1, 2009 3:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

john, you have to be kidding me. bisping has no power whatsoever, you cant hold henderson off without KO power. Hendo by thrashing. look you say hendo has been disappointing in the ufc. he has lost to two champions at the top of their games what is disappointing about that. he took page 5 rounds. no way bisping has the power of a rampage or silva. it takes power like that to keep hendo off your a$$, and bisping couldn’t even hold off an inexperienced hamill. hamill is nowhere near hendo in skills but has the same style.

by Buttcrack Obama bin Laden on Apr 1, 2009 4:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

It’s true, but Hendo will need a KO to get the draw. He HAS to finish Bizbing but that aint gonna be easy if he’s got his running shoes on like he had for leben.

Bizbing is protected from way up high and as long as he can take the fight the distance, he WILL win on points no matter what. For proof of this see the shocking Hammill verdict.

Dana wants a big European payday out of his British Golden Goose and will do anything and screw anyone over to get it.

Roy: U know that I have been one of the biggest supporters of not accusing fighters of taking roids without having proof…All week I had to listen to a$$holes (not you) accusing Shogun, Rampage….so now I am firing back! THe comment was actually aimed at my buddy Violentmike who accused Shogun of being on Roids the other day…he is a big time Hendo supporter, and I just wanted to talk a little crap!

Buttcrap: I got no problems with Hendo losing to 2 champions. He did show up against Rampage, but fought like a BIATCH against Hendo, Palhares…and didnt deserve the win against Rich!

by john on Apr 1, 2009 5:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

one things for sure….is that the Hendo that is fighting in the UFC, is not the Hendo that was a MONSTER in pride!

by john on Apr 1, 2009 5:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

i think the monster will be back john, i am sure your not sold completely on bisping winning or you would take the bet and i know where your coming from on the roids thing.

by roy on Apr 1, 2009 5:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

Every season is the “craziest season ever”. I really hope that doesn’t mean the same ole jackass shit that has been the hallmark of passed seasons. Dana did say that he never had to go to the house so I do have hope.

Lets hope there are’nt any pussies with emotional problems like junie browning, That guy is hella unstable.

Hey we don’t pull that Jr. High Bull$hit here on this site! We don’t post 1st comment or write EVERYTHING IN CAPS. So cut that crap out.

wow, how much of a loser do you feel like? “1st post bitches” but was actually 4 minutes behind the true #1! 2 full minutes behind the second post, and a post that has no bearing on anything at all! you must be on school vacation this week!

by kevin on Apr 1, 2009 11:21 AM EDT up reply actions  

I think he means this is his 1st post on this website. I could be wrong.

I wish Mania would stop moderating people from posting mma news, and concentrate on moderating people and their useless “1st posts”!

by john on Apr 1, 2009 5:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

Get over it. We’ve talked about this for like a year. I don’t think we have to delve any deeper. Comments like this are petty and unnecessary.

by MMAmania on Apr 1, 2009 5:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

I’m curious (could care less though), why delete news or videos and then post them on the front page a day later. No big deal if we beat you to the punch. let the other maniacs enjoy it before you post it, is it really a shot at your ego?

by kevin on Apr 1, 2009 6:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

its probably going to be balls again, but ill still watch it. i am a sucker. plus i love Hendo!

by josh on Apr 1, 2009 11:00 AM EDT reply actions  

I know he has to push it… but every season it’s the “craziest f’n season” or the “best f’n season”…. get’s a little tedious. Surely by that logic, i should wait until TUF 31, that should be an amazing series!!!!

UK!!! UK!!! UK!!!

Haha, great argument!

I’m also expecting awful antics, TUF producers must be in love with freaky nasty stuff.

I thought he was going to say that some other seasons were better and perhaps this one landed somewhere between 1 and 3 for best seasons. OF COURSE HE SAID IT’S THE BEST EVER

‘In a recent interview with The Sun, UFC President Dana White offered sharp criticism of the ninth season of The Ultimate Fighter, which is slated to feature a United States vs. United Kingdom format. "I said from day one I hate the UK v USA idea. It’s dumb, I don’t like it — it’s not USA v the UK, we’re looking for the best fighter in the world. We put on a card one time, the USA v Canada, it was f***ing retarded.“’

that was an old post,so not very recent,however he has always been quite vocal about the point he is making.he doesn’t knock how the new series ran out yet,so hopefully he’s not just ‘selling’ the show to us.I’m honestly hoping for a serious series as opposed to last seasons prank-fest.Altough 1 clip showed some1 smashing an egg into some1s chest,so,i dont hold out to much hope about all the directors staged pranks again.

if it’s so good then why is half the tuf finale card already filled with ufc vets than have a card with the tuf fighters on it

Couldn’t agree more. I hated the retarded BS last season. And to top it all off Junie still fights in the UFC. He is not that good and has major issues.
