Media Dana Offers Little Praise for Leon's Performance

[SharpasaRazor]

- Says he didn't score the fight and couldn't figure out the result

- Offered the chance to comment on Leon's performance he pretends not to hear and then talks about wanting to see more wrestling from Kamaru

- Then bangs on about how Usman didn't look gunshy but he only shot 'a few times' (LOL what???)

For a promoter this guy doesn't do the best job of promoting his fighters when he doesen't feel like it.

There’s an obvious reason why Colby is getting a title shot lol they really don’t want Leon as champion, unfortunately.

This is like when America removes the leader of a country and wants to put in their own guy for the “betterment” of that region.

Leon is brutal to watch

Id rather watch water evaporate

 

[Shoguns Prodigy**]

Hopefully Leon’s knocks Colby head into the nosebleeds, he doesn’t deserve no title shot for beating a journeyman.

 

[RespectTheWarriors]

How have you guys not figured out that Dana has one foot out the door? He doesn't give a shit about the sport. Dude has had zero enthusiasm pretty much since Zuffa sold the company. He is just going through the motions.

 

[SCTwins]

I'm gonna laugh if Leon starches Colby.

Dana would probably just leave the building.

Who was the one stalling with constant failed takedowns though?

Not surprising, Dana has never been a beacon of professionalism. He doesn’t hide that has a preference in fights. As promoter, he should you know, promote. Edwards isn’t a big draw but he should be talking him up. Project the image their champions are the best fighters on the planet and that’s why people should be interested.

Kamaru should have gotten that belt back. He was supposed to be the GoD of the WW division like GSP

This is not fair

But so again, such is the way of life

because it wasn't a great performance, what we saw is Father Time has slowed Usman down. His TDs were weaker, and his striking didn't have the snap it used to have.

The last couple of events Dana has been much, much more aloof than previously. Always seems a little dazed.

 

[Dionysian]

Wonder where all the people are who were ranting about Islam and Leon not deserving title shots because they didn't have this or that ranked wins. How about Colby? Grand total of 0 fucking wins over currently ranked fighters.

 

[TCE]

Haha it's not the first time he's done this.

I remember a year or so ago at the press conference, he didn't mention anything about the winning fighter, after multiple questions, just went off on the losing fighter.

 

[The XL]

I think Dana thinks this was more Usman falling off a cliff than it was Edwards looking amazing.

 

[Pechan]

Honestly don't see why Dana wants COlby as champ so bad, dude is not a PPV draw, is a decision machine and his style is boring as fuck, wonder if it had anything to do with the retarded trump connection.

 

[duke_droese]

I doubt dana likes the sport side of MMA anymore lol.

It's either or he shits on/doesn't give praise to the fighters.

 

[ITsallinthegifs]

Dana crying about the fact that no one will ever buy into the bullshit hype of snoozeman being the goat welterweight.

 

[wildchild88]

I personally am not super excited about watching Usman, Leon or Colby fight.. their styles feel kind of UFC generic, they're all really good, but their styles don't interest me...
