Good for Dana to not succumb to the cancel culture and the smear campaign on Rogan. The bald brothers have each other's backs

Didn't Chuck Liddell & Matt Hughes get fired tho?

Bah, so close! WME almost shut down during the pandemic and we nearly got rid of Baldy and Rogaine at the same time.

Oh well, here's hoping the Vince controversies kill TKO.

If only Big Bald Goof had the same empathy towards the fighters he's paying chump change to.

10k/10k, take it or leave it

I respect that sentiment a great deal...and the idea that the UFC did not lay off anyone during the pandemic is admirable...the problem is what defines 'when yo

I just don't believe Dana's hyperbole.

Not that I am sad he is gone, but where is Goldie? No second chance for Hardy?

 

[don't ask]

Christ, we could have got rid of them both?

Also lol at Dana's heroic speech about how loyal he is. He's loyal as far as his tender feelings haven't been bruised.

Perhaps Matt Hughes wouldn't be in his current condition if he still had his [obviously ceremonial] job.

inb4 people argue that legends like Matt and Chuck who literally built the company needed to push paperwork and attend BS meetings to prove their worth in UFC.

“Joe Rogan was always my friend” - Dana White

is there an opposite phrase to "dodged a bullet"? because reading this feels like stepping into one

They weren't doing jobs though

Dana isn't loyal he is a supreme narcissist.

Joe Rogan owns the largest independent media property on planet earth and his demographic largely intersects with MMA. He is extraordinarily important to Dana making money.

Joe might be the highest ROI they have across the board. It would cost tens of millions a year to buy ads with similar exposure they get for free.

That job was charity anyway. I'm sure Chuck knew it wouldn't last forever

Rogan's best days are behind him, I don't feel like he adds much to the broadcast at this point.

They needed to do something, they were getting free money solely based on their relationship with Dana and the Fertittas.

Forrest Griffin isn't pushing paperwork. Dana gave his favorite fighters an opportunity at a professional career after fighting they never would have gotten otherwise and Griffin was the only one who took advantage.
