Lmao this is a thread

he said nothing

 

[RoñaCastroJr]

Read between the lines. He says Dana is wrong, but then refuses to comment on what should happen. Of course, the interviewer was instigating in the first place, which is kind of sad. Why does he think that Dustin is in charge of deciding? Leave the guy alone, already. He doesn't want to say anything that will get him in trouble at work. What is your problem, journalist guy?

its the journalist job, unless you re the brown nose double chinned front row/first question fat guy

 

[Russ82]

Because Sherdoggers and other dumb people are emotionally invested in guys like Dana. He is a theatrical character. Oprah for incels.

Sounds like he is impossible to replace then..

Honest answers from DP

My favorite fighter. Great response

Ducking Conor.... He knows if he says anything negative about Dana he will make him fight Conor again....

No

I don't see any stomp or kick?

I don't either, but I don't know what the final 'thrust' is on this. I think people are drawing the conclusion that it's some stomp or kick (I mean, it seems like something foot based, maybe a push with his foot? But it could also just be movement) but anything would be assumption from this angle

^^Hey, look at this @snaportap21
Fuck yourself twice

 

[TheHabitualLineStepper]

Why not?

 

[ericscarface]

is there a dana white shoop thread?

 

[Neck&Neck]

Can’t believe Dana hasn’t shut this thread down yet

 

[RoñaCastroJr]

I hate him

looks like a brave reckless, independent and brutally honest journalist to me

I hate him

All the “she hit him first” guys don’t seem to understand the difference between self defense and retaliation.

This is exactly it. Most the guys in here seem like they're waiting for any chance they can get to hit a woman. It makes sense though, there has to be a certain percentage of people that are shitty human beings, and they're just outing themselves on here.

I don't live in a great state for 'self-defense' or castle laws or anything (I'm prepping a metaphor here). Some states note that it is not self-defense if the person is not a threat at the time. Fuck, an armed burglar could have broken into your house and threatened you, but if you're armed and ready to defend yourself, if it's found that you shot them in the back because they were running away or trying to flee the scene, you can expect at least a hard time making that case, if not actually being convicted.

I also know that American culture, and Hollywood, have really ingrained a 'revenge porn' mentality into a lot of people, with a lot of "I wish someone would" kind of attitudes, and it's easy to forget that retaliation isn't 'self defense.' Now I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that domestic disputes aren't extremely common, and I know that both are at fault for escalation, that both asked it to be dropped basically, and that, on the wide scale of domestic assaults, this is on the very bottom end of the spectrum. However, if we were to strictly go by the book: His initial contact with her is assault (a lot of stuff is. People often get assault mixed up with battery, but it really just means someone has put you in reasonable and immediate fear of harm, so poking someone in the chest during an argument is assault). So while her slapping him while pulling away can also be argued as assault, it can also be defended as self-defense. However, he (still in some manner of control of the situation as he's still holding onto her) has a harder time arguing that his slap is self defense and not retaliation because he's the one trying to prevent her from leaving during his own argued assault (he can be hit with attempt to cause harm, like an aggravated assault, but it doesn't appear as if it's significant enough to go into battery charges, but hey, I'm not a prosecutor). It especially doesn't help his case that he continued to attack her, a surefire way of destroying any sort of self defense argument you want to make.

But again. Domestic issue, so it would be handled with a pretty different set of gloves if it was in front of a judge, and doesn't register very high in the grand scale of attacks in the first place. Charge alone? Probably wouldn't even get minimum time on probation for this. At worst, looking like a protective order if she asked for it, which a violation of could put him in some hot water, but that would only be if she pursued it, which it seems like she's not doing.

Only question after that is court of public opinion, so.. have at it everyone.


Or just ignore everything I said. This is just my take on the situation, but I'm only here as a troll, because everything above is just so obviously false according to the video.

I’ve had the same account since 2011 and the level of discourse I’ve seen in the last few years has really been disappointing.

No, his initial touching of her arm is not assault. That is a non aggressive, touching. It does not meet the requirements to be considered assault.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

If I go to a club and a bouncer grabs me by the wrist while I am intoxicated, can I slap him?

I mean, Dana's not a bouncer. But also, a bouncer's not a cop and can't really 'detain' you or anything, other than a brief investigation if you stole something or waiting for the police to arrive, so yeah, technically you can.

But also remember that it's assumed if a bouncer has put his hands on you, it is because you are being asked to leave, and it is a private business, so anything other than leaving is considered trespassing, so nothing's really gonna put you in the right in this situation. They will beat the shit out of you, remove you, and if need be, give whatever story they want to the cops with the benefit of more trust, more numbers of witnesses, and sobriety on their side. You will have been the trespasser who got violent after they were being removed.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Yes it does. It certainly does if she makes the argument she was trying to leave, and if she says it hurt her wrist, it's certainly assault. Whether or not a judge would convict on that? Highly unlikely. But the charge exists for a reason.

 

[Oz.Pride]

If this was any other professional sports league in the United States, Dana White would be removed within 48 hours of the incident. But because it’s the UFC, and his ridiculous reputation for being an asshole.. He gets away with it.

Lmao prove it
