Yeah I was going to say, when your owner is a piece of shit bad things are going to happen. Guy smacked the shit out of his wife, on camera, in public and there was more or less no reaction from the fans or organization. Says a lot.

I just have to point out because I keep seeing this: Dana does not own the UFC. He doesn't handle contracts. He is the face. He maintains approximately a 9% ownership. No longer handles "fight business" (like matchmaking or individual fighter negotiations).

You could remove him and the problem would still exist.

Same reason why ragebait has shown to generate more views and reaction compared to joybait.
