wow Dana White on Dr. Phil, now I’ve seen everything…

Dana White: Here’s the Reality Dr. Phil, these guys aren’t fuckin’ fighters, they fight in a fuckin’ classroom for fuck sakes, c’mon, fuck, you know, uh, fuck, this is not the way to get into the fuckin’ UFC it’s the exact opposite — FUCK!
Haha. Really though, I liked how they all handled themselves. Forrest, despite looking like a caveman, is pretty articulate, he’s smart, so he’s a perfect picture of a fighter, as is Florian, who at first glance would not be perceived as a fighter which makes him just as interesting in a different way. Maybe that’s why some people here dislike Florian for no reason, because he could pass for a computer nerd to some.
I like what Dana has to say because he’s more aware than anyone that the sport looks too brutal to ignorant people so the stats he spouts out are good, especially in comparison to boxing which is accepted by the public. And that’s the reason he went on the crappy self-righteous bullshit show. He’s smart. The kids were ancillary, almost redundant.

agree with Johnny..I’m surprised nobody mentioned the fact that it’s illegal?

MMA came off well here that’s all that’s important to be me. Everyone was articulate and Dr. Phil seemed to be on board.

Did anyone else see a huge opening for Dana to slam Kimbo or what??
Dana should have told those kids, street fight and you end up like Kimbo beaten by a mediocre MMA figher in seconds! oh no!

damn dana’s got a fat head, but besides the floriany or whatver comment dr. phil made everyone did a good job showing how wrong street fighting is, and how the ufc is an official sport with proffesional athletes

I’m willing to bet I could take both tose young guys at the same time! “Pull ups, the best exercise you can do!” he wouldn’t be saying that as I’m choking him out before his buddy knew how to save him.
Overall short but good piece!

I don’t know that that’s worth saying.
You remind me of Billy Bob Thorton in Bad Santa. “I beath the shit out of some kids today. Really made me feel good about myselft” lol

hahah.. the problem with MMA is that you can’t go out and beat the sh*t out of eachother like you can go out and play other sports..

Ya seriously, what a d-bag. It would have taken 5 seconds to ask someone how to pronounce his name.
by WB on May 16, 2009 2:14 PM EDT up reply actions
Not to mention it showed that D. Phil doesn’t know a d_mn thing about MMA. I mean, who doesn’t know about K FLo, seriously.

I wanted to laugh so hard when I heard that but it’s dark. :D
LMAO! :P

Man, oh man, Dr. Phil.
At least get the guy’s name right.
It’s “Florian”. How hard is that to say?
The guy’s a world class fighter, and he still doesn’t get any respect from Dr. Gump (Sorry, I mean “Phil”).
Unbelievable…E

I thought it was cool how Dr. Phil put an emphasis on how MMA is for athletes. Definitely adds to the credibility for the sport.

Dr. Phil secretly watches UFC fights at home while shouting- “RIP HIS F*CKEN HEAD OFF”!!!
by DAVE A on May 16, 2009 7:10 PM EDT up reply actions
dr phil basically gave mma props.
dana white needs to use the whole ‘only sport other than boxing thats regulated by the government’ line more times.
really hits home how professional the whole thing is to people that dont understand the sport imo.
by ben on May 16, 2009 5:30 AM EDT reply actions
Hey Dr. Phil (and the rest of you ignorant mainstream foolios),
It’s “MMA”, NOT “ultimate fighting”. Good gravy, I’m so sick of the stupidity.
love,
Ingo B

What’s worse is for you to hate him, you must have watched Dr Phil in order to form that passionate of an opinion! LOL!
by UFC Champ on May 16, 2009 4:03 PM EDT up reply actions
I was surprized at how short that segment was and that Dr. Phil did not try to verbally rape them!!!!!
by Spyder on May 16, 2009 12:30 PM EDT reply actions
So Dana White to make the sport look good? I mean a guy so easy to fire up is the best one to do it? It only takes the mother of a child to say that he is a bald guy who doesn´t know sh*t, and the guy would go ballistic and dropping F-bombs even to the Pope.
by fonx on May 16, 2009 12:49 PM EDT reply actions
Why, can you actually disagree with how well Dana came across in that segment? I guess we all just saw the “professional” side of Dana, so maybe the other side is just an act? Not even one single attempted F-bomb too!
by UFC Champ on May 16, 2009 4:01 PM EDT up reply actions
Good video – “Kenny Flor-ini” = priceless
also did u guys notice on the Forrest and Rashad fighting clip (Forrest’s knees to Rashad) that the video ended right as soon as Rashad was about to do the ‘Kiss my Dick’ taunt – thank god it would have looked bad for MMA right there!
dont see how they werent just advised to go train at an MMA club???
by Randy for Couture on May 16, 2009 2:26 PM EDT reply actions
I give Casanova the first round. He landed more shots and it looked like he was going to sink in a rear naked choke before the school bell rang.
by R-Dizzle on May 16, 2009 5:25 PM EDT reply actions
ok? ok? yes ok dana…. u shold have said these guys were complete idiots!
by MMA040 on May 16, 2009 7:26 PM EDT reply actions
if UFC doesnt support street fighters then why did they let kimbo in?
by MOFO on May 17, 2009 5:48 AM EDT reply actions

by kevin on May 18, 2009 10:51 AM EDT up reply actions
