UFC fighters with the most "Dana White Privilege"?

Jones was stripped of title and suspended after hit and run accident for violating "code of conduct" policy (that's a laugh).

What happened to McGregor for his numerous malfeasance?
 
Again Stipe doesn't get a mention despite being right near the top.

Conor hasn't even got a title shot coming off a KO loss and years of inactivity, let alone it happening twice.

Stipe is the definition of Dana White privilege yet somehow gets a pass from media and fans.
 
The ones that are drawing the most,or they think will eventually draw the most.

Hard to strip someone without a belt.

So what, Dana likes good fighters with personality and charisma. Belal has none except good fighter for example. . You have to bring energy to any job interview or an audition or you’re getting passed up. UFC no different.

Problem is Conor and Jorge are.not good role models for the sport.

It is like all these bullshit that girls likes gangsters until they are exploited sexually.

Stipe only gets decent treatment because HW is a wasteland and he's one of the only good ones.

Stipe wouldn't even let Dana wrap the belt around him he felt he was being treated so poorly. When Francis first fought him they were heavily pushing for Francis to win that bout but Stipe spoiled their plans.

Exactly. Dana has a history of giving in to fighters who stand up to him, like any good bully.

Dana was legitimately scared of Stipe when he was screaming in his face demanding a title shot.

"Who the hell was going to say no to him? He was like a psycho – of course I wasn’t going to say no"

Stipe's Dana privilege comes not from kissing up to Dana, but standing up to him. Other fighters should learn. Now whatever Stipe wants, Stipe gets.
 
Dana White privilege is a myth
It’s all about hard work and furious knock outs
Don’t you want to be a fucking fighter, kid!
 
They relocated an entire event for Jones juicing ass. Dana White privilege at it's finest
 
The whole women’s division gets the Dana white privilege. No self respecting heterosexual man has any interest in that tripe yet Dana has forced this nonsense on us despite there being so little interest. We asked for women’s only events so we wouldn’t have to have our nights punctuated with their so called fights but no, they get to piggy back off the men who are actual draws.

My short list.

1) Conor McGregor - He's been a mid to lower level fighter for years but gets whatever he wants because he's the biggest cashcow in the sport and the embodiment of a WWE character who's mouth has gotten him places because he can sell a fight like no other.

2) Jorge Masdvial - I'll admit it's cool he comes comes from the Kimbo era but it seems like the UFC wants him to be at the top of company because he's a draw more than because of his achievements in the Octagon.

3) Sean O'Malley - He's a talented striker and a worthy top 10 fighter but the fact that he's ranked #2 and next in line for a titleshot in the stacked BW division after a highway robbery against Yan tells you all you need to know. His personal style really speaks to the Zoomer crowd.

4) Colby Covington - He really has no notable wins outside a past their prime fighters. He's a good fighter but doesn't belong anywhere near another title shot. Some find his gimmick lame but he invests a hell of a lot into it so you at least have to give him that.

5) Brian Ortega - Hasn't had a win in years, two titleshots already. He's a good fighter, but let's be real about how his looks have gotten him where he is. He doesn't even really have a gimmick like the others here he's simply the UFC pinup boy.

Honorable mentions

Paddy Pimblett - It's pretty obvious the UFC wants him to be something he probably never will be and are trying to protect him against lower level fighters hoping he'll one day blossum. He has a goofy charm that makes him memorable but he's probably the least skilled fighter on this list.

Micheal Chandler - he loses an awful lot yet is somehow still relevant and I'd probably put him higher on the list if he didn't sacrifice himself to the JBG every single fight and wasn't so damn entertaining in the cage.

Missing Alex Pereira, getting the easiest path to a title maybe ever, never having to face a grappler, and Jon Jones getting titleshot after titlsehot after suspensions, getting basically a built in excuse to keep on using/pulsing PEDs never getting any repercussions for all the shit he pulls, even being the only person ever in the history of the sport that got a whole event moved just for him, so he could fight while having popped.

Honestly, Jon should be no. 2 behind Conor.

This thread is odd, because at least half the fighters here don;t know what "protected" means. Take Conor McGregor for instance. You can argue that he's favored, and I' d agree with you. The last few years of his career he got some fights he didn't deserve. But protected? Hell no. Throwing a LW into a cage with Alvarez, Khabib, and Poirier is the opposite of protecting them.

A protected fighter is Paddy Pimblett, or even better yet, Greg Hardy. Just never put in a fight with great or dangerous fighters. Always set up to win.

Or Alex Pereira, never was there such a clear objective to keep a fighter away from grapplers.
 
Jon Jones had quite a bit back in the day.

1. Dana insisting that Jones was hacked after he used a gay slur on twitter
2. Moving a UFC event to a different location because he pissed hot
3. Always defending everything he did... initially it was because he was young and had bad people around him, etc.

Jon bones Jones- undefeated against the law and TKOd USADA for life too via pulsing exemption

can get away away with hit and runs, domestic abuse, crack cocaine, presser brawls, and dick pills.

never lost a decision

Yeah he is almost always given close rounds by the judges too. Although that's not determined by the UFC.
 
Forrest Griffin, Sam Alvey, Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, Brock Lesnar, Holly Holm, Joanne Wood, Urijah Faber, Darren Till

Wow. How the hell did you not even MENTION Jones?

They literally moved an entire card to another city so he could fight while on steroids. Then they let him fight while on steroids AGAIN after that.

Nobody has ever or will ever have the Dana White privilege that Jones has.
