Dana White comments on Chuck Liddell’s body
By Zach Arnold | March 3, 2010
His latest message for all of us:
http://twitpic.com/169u7o As usual an mma” news site” said chucks belly was back. Wrong again idiot websites! Stop reading shit sites people.
He is in fight shape already.
I’d like to know what MMA sites are actually on his bookmark list. I always seem to miss the articles that he’s commenting on.
Speaking of staring at bodies in MMA, here’s an article discussing Marcus Davis’s online blow-up and how photoshopped pictures of him on a “Gay Times” magazine cover last year irritated him to the point of making his now infamous AIDS remark:
Yes, Mixed Martial Arts is a sport. It’s also a sport with ungodly amounts of testosterone levels that blow away any T/E ratio you’ve ever seen in your life. If the average human has a T/E ratio of 1:1, then that level is blown off its hinges in Mixed Martial Arts. In the most macho of all macho sports, testosterone is the fuel that breeds world champions and also breeds unbelievable stupidity. In a business that has macho heels like Phil Baroni and behemoths like Bob Sapp, it’s impossible to avoid some of the taboos that come with a sport so fueled by testosterone.
One of those taboos is homophobia.

I remember a few years ago when there was some online discussion about how Dana checked out fighters’ parts at weigh-ins. Googled it and found this:

*Note: I know that these pics are taken out of context and the online discussion about it was silly, but I can’t resist bringing it back up in this context.
Notice he didn’t promise the love handles were gone.
Dana seems more to be a messageboard devotee than a website reader. Everything he seems to say (with the exception of the Jake Rossen Dubai bankruptcy jargon) seems to come from a Sherdog or UG thread.
It wasn’t THAT long ago that Dana White was posting on the UG and Fightsport regularly. Back in 2002 and 2003, he was posting very frequently.
Pre-TUF aka the Great Noob Divide
Dana keeps that picture in his wallet
Yes, the days where fans were making booking decisions and he can NEVER forgive them for suggesting obscure Japanese fighters blah blah blah. You know he spends an hour a day at UG to this day with a gimmick account.
I’m so excited about James Toney fighting in the UFC! Yesssss.
Glad there’s a real org out there that cares about the sport and not a bunch of bingo hall running hicks doing freakshow fights.
Bellator?
I do like people rationalizing this while putting down Walker in the same breath.
Well in their defense at least Toney does have fight experience beyond some mysterious TKD black belt he may have purchased.
And he’s also still baiting Vitali Klitschko as recently as last week so how dedicated to MMA is he really?
