Video: UFCs Dana White blasts 'racist' Floyd Mayweather Jr. for Jeremy Lin comments, among others

Print"Yes Floyd, you're racist."
Here it is, the video footage of FUEL TV's "UFC Tonight," which aired tonight (Feb. 21, 2012), during which Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White went ballistic on Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his history of racially-charged sentiments.
White was fuming over Mayweather's recent attack on New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin, who is of Taiwanese decent. In addition to calling perhaps the best boxer on the planet a "racist," White also referred to "Pretty Boy" as a "knucklehead" and a "dummy."
Don't hold back, Dana.
He then challenged Mayweather to "shut up" and to finally make the fight that all the boxing fans want to see, which is against Manny Pacquaio. That's going to be hard, considering Mayweather opted to fight Miguel Cotto instead on May 5, 2012, and then surrender himself four weeks later to serve a 90-day jail sentence in Las Vegas, Nevada, for domestic violence.
Ho-hum.
Read all about who said what and when, including a partial transcript of White's comments, right here.

not.
Not everyone wants to see someone who could make Lightweight fight someone who regularly walks around in Heavyweight land.
And by “not everyone” I mean lots of people don’t.
MORE LIKE
the only people that don’t want to see that fight are scared GSP fan boys.

Dana is the man!

why is he the man?
I can’t stand Floyd, but shit like this is doing nothing but holding the sport back..Dana has taken the UFC as far as he can, now it’s time to step aside and get a qualified, media savvy figurehead to be the face of the UFC. It’s embarrassing to be a fan with this clown spouting his mouth off all the time..

duuude whatever. I enjoy Dana and Joe Rogan. This sport doesn’t need to have the same model as every other sport. Cookie cutter broadcasting and presidents etc. Fuck that
it doesn't have to be cookie cutter
but at the same time the president of the company should handle himself in a certain way, and going off on these ridiculous rants isn’t it. The bigger the UFC and MMA get, the better the talent will be that comes to the sport.

I am torn
I agree the world of business generally requires a certain decorum from a CEO. Diplomacy, emotional intelligence, self-control, political nous and media savvy are considered critical. Those that don’t have it don’t usually last- for a reason.
On the other hand, I like people who break the mould and wipe their butts with the rule book. The world’s businesses are run by slick political douchebags, while passionate, creative and competent people are sidelined for not being political enough.
Steve Jobs was a douchebag (even though even he learned to hide his douchebaggery in public). Dana White is a douchebag. But they both have passion, drive and creativity in common. Maybe it’s time to usher in a new era of authenticity in leadership.
Ladies and Gentlemen…the Dawn of the Douchebag CEO.
u might be right there Shiv..
but I hate Mayweather sooo’ much I was really happy to see this rant.. dana gets fired from the UFC and starts his own sports talk show.
"Did you know that if you mix equal parts
of gasoline and equal parts frozen orange juice
concentrate, you can make napalm?"
the guy can do what he wants, and there is no reason to remove him from the company
but in my opinion he should no longer be the face of the UFC.

Your a dumbass
The sport is violent , bloody andf bones sometimes break, he is the one that made it mainstream and made it a success. If you dont like the fighting you dont watch, its not because dana white says fuck.
Guru chill the fuck out and have a cock or two
Shivan is right here and it’s obvious because of how strong your denial is . Dana is right on the money about Floyd I hold black athletes back with my foolish hood rat ways and big mouth mayweather but on a scale of 1-10 Dana leading the UFC and being its head honcho is about a 6 when it comes to professionalism .
He thinks outside fans ate stupid and plays favorite in a way the hurt the movement of mma in this day and age . He’s straight forward and headstrong but mma can handle itself now . It doesn’t need his way or the highway type bullshit

you actually think that MMA is mainstream?
that’s hilarious. They just had a wopping 200K people watch their their last live broadcast, that’s real fucking mainstream.
If you dont like the fighting you dont watch, its not because dana white says fuck.
that’s true if you’re already a fan and/or have seen the sport before, but if you never have, and you’re first impression of MMA is douchebag Dana, lots of “mainstream” people won’t even tune in to the fight. He is just perpetrating the “No holds barred” image that MMA has been trying to get away from for years.

Fuck it, at least Dana is in this for the love of the sport.
Replace Dana with someone who is more,‘professional’,‘qualified’, a more media savvy type guy and watch what happens. Sport will begin to lose it’s soul because the new figure head will be in it for the fuckin money. Dana is brash at times, but this 2 minute rant is going to garner a hell of a lot more interest in mma than some polite suit could manage in a month.

and I don’t think Dana needs to be removed as a decision maker, but why is the UFC constantly marketing it’s president? Shouldn’t they be using that TV slot to market it’s fighters?

I would be fine with Lorenzo, at least he can carry a conversation and get his point across in an adult manner.

I don't see the big deal.
Dana can be a jackass, but having a Dana at the wheel is kind of different and it’s better than other sports.
How many other presidents of multi billion dollar companies talk to fans, give out free tickets, make the fights taht fans want to see? and the list goes on..
None is the answer.
Dana is unique and he has taken it this far. His model works.

Because nobody else has the patience for that kind of crap
except for Dana.
There are hundreds of billion dollar industries in the world and i’ve never seen any leader of an organization be as hands on as Dana.

did you just status quo me?
It wouldn’t have to be someone other than Dana handing out the tickets, he would still be the president, he would still go to all the shows, take pictures with the fans, he just wouldn’t be the guy at the podium, or doing the interview on the local Fox affiliate, or arguing with “fans” on twitter. Just get him out of the media spotlight.

Eh, you could kind of make a case for Mark Cuban.
He’s probably the closest comparison I could draw to Dana. Then again, he is only the owner/CEO of 1 team in the league.
I'd rather Dana spout off
than you spouting this nonsense on Mania. Floyd has got to be one of the biggest douches in all of sports so hearing this out of Dana’s mouth is REFRESHING.

Floyd is a huge douchebag, no disagreement there
I just disagree that anything Dana says is refreshing, at this point most of it is stale, repetitive garbage.

never said he wasn't right about Floyd
just tired of hearing him spout off calling people knuckleheads and dumbasses. There is no need for it. He sounds like some 13 year old kid posting on Mania, which is the reason so many of you like him.

No it's not....
The reason I like him is because he has brought UFC to me, something I really enjoy. People ask him questions and he gives his opinion, no different than you or I. He’s just in a position where people care about what he has to say. You and I aren’t in that position.
he has brought UFC to me, something I really enjoy.
I agree 100% with this, but i also feel that he has led the UFC as far as it can go, at least with him as the public face of the brand. And the Floyd piece wasn’t something that someone asked him, it was a produced segment on the UFC’s weekly news show. I would have much rather they spent that 5 minutes talking about up and coming talent, or maybe a list of fighters that have been recently signed to the organization.

I live in America! Land of the coward, home of the slave. Watch that TV, go to that football game, that circus, CNN, MSNBC, FOX and other mainstream media are not owned by large corporations, they are always honest and fair and they never lie to you. Whatever you do don't read history books, don't study the constitution, do everything you can possibly do to be happy in life. Just don't ever get involved in your government, big brother will take care of you. Your elected officials always do what's in your best interest, there is no corruption in our government, good little sheep, just make yourself happy, just entertain yourself, the government is only here to entertain you and take care of you and feed you and make you happy, don't you worry your little head over world affairs.

because he was a black golf player in a sport full of white people
aside form his elite skills the reason he got popular was because of his race dont get it twisted
he is not a hypocrite
What he said is true. What you said about tiger is true. Unfortunately,race is still a big fucking issue in this country.

Dana is cool, but a bit od douche
He needs to learn to seperate his ‘boss’ persona from his’fan’ persona. Keep work and opinions seperate. Do I think Dana is the best guy for the company’s future? Absolutely. Do I think the UFC needs a seperate figurehead to make announcements and be the ‘face’ of the company? Possibly. I like Lorenzo Fertita, carries himself well. He should get in front of the cameras a lot more.
