Fix the fight pass app. It’s sucks. It isn’t user friendly. It’s almost as bad as direct TVs app.
Dana all face lol
That pink liquid in Dana's Voss water is progressively altering his skin tone
Dana Combatant an Chief 🇺🇸 dont you 4getit🇺🇸
Conner can lose he already has submission. Khabib clocked him. Ankhabib using a boxer go Dustin upset. Ya they happen
*Helwani > Okamato*
Dana in full promotion mode.
Wow. 29 mins of Connor questions asked 50 different ways with a few others sprinkled in. We only got other fights this weekend🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dana so rich he don't care that he wearing that fresh sweater made of recycled baseballs.
There is absolutely ZERO reason for Khabib to fight Conor after he destroyed him the first time. Literally dominated him the entire fight and made him tap. I’d like to see him go up to welter weight and compete for that title
13:02 re-re-remix-remixxxx-pyerrrrrr-pyerrrrr-py--pyerrr
If Mcgregor can make more money fighting Pacquiao he should absolutely do it without question. Dana thinking Conor should stick with UFC is not surprising, he cares about his bottle line not the fighters.
Can’t wait for my boy Dustin to wipe the floor with conors face and ruin all these casual plans.
dana's influence ? i see new fight gear, shin pads ,mouth pieces boxing & mma gloves in the general public department stores....thanks to dana's passion
Brett loves getting pegged by Dana on camera
Connor is average
Dana pink
12:00 question about McGregor vs Pacquiao
dana white needs to be in podcasts not in interviews
"So why's your face red? Man you wasted!"
Is Dana dipping? Whats with the weird lisp?
Does Dana have a dip in ? Something weird about his mouth
His redness tells it self.
If Conor defeats Dustin, Khabib vs Conor will be huge
I love Dana's honestly besides his honesty hmm reminds me of someone🤔
Dana Red
The best to ever do it
Dana’s transformation into a tomato is almost complete
can't wait to see this fight
Why wouldn't you ask him about GSP v Khabib ?
I would be pissed off if Conor’s next fight will be January, 2022.
no question about the layoffs???!!!
That Brazilian guy that broke Tony's arm would be a scary match up for Conor or Dustin.
"just look at what Connor did to cowboy" I've seen every fighter highlight putting a beating to cowboy
2021: Dear ESPN, please fire Brett. Thanks!
but dana it will never be the biggest sport in the world. you will never curry great favor among open society. its always gonna be cagefights. Beautiful cagefights.
Dana is close to just making a belt for conor lmao
Dana White My Bollocks
200 million for Khabib. Then Khabib has a problem :)
Dana? We called him, "phallus-head," in high school. (I do not know him and he was a confirmed tough guy in high school)
Dana in it for the dollar signs like always. Kabib doesn't want to fight anymore, leave the guy alone. Just keep re forcing Connor down our throats again 😴😴😴
didn't he assault a woman
Dana looks like he has a lot of health issues
Everytime he says that Conor ... He looks scared lolll
Dana overlooking Poirier is so disrespectful
Dana “that division is stacked with studs” white
Hey ! Mere Xpression get the app
Dana “i was built for 2020” white
This is not dana white, this is dana pink.
Why didn't you ask him about Khabib vs GSP, the biggest fight in the world, or about anything GSP related? Come on bro.
If division is stacked with tough guys, why do Conor vs Khabib? Let the tough guys battle it out and stop fueling then Mcgregor hype train. Is he good yes, are there styles that can give him problems of course . He will never beat Khabib. Let Oliveira fight Gaethje or winner of Hooker and Chandler and set up vacant belt fight in summer. Look at Tony’s career lost because of all the Mcgregor politics and injuries. This guy takes too much time off and runs from every title defense. We need real champs that defend thrones. These title reigns with absent Champs ruin divisions. Look at HW, Francis should have fought for belt over a year ago but here we are.
Have to give it to Dana man I don't think the UFC would have stayed aloat and survived them early days when they were in heavy debt makin no money. He stayed focused on wat he believed changed the rules and structure and when he had to be ruthless he was I don't think anyone could have done the job he's done the way he's done it. The man's a pure inspiration happy 20th anniversary man
Dana dude that's too much Viagra use.
Who wants to see a boring wrestler back??? The only reason habib is as popular and made so much money is because he has the support of the Muslim world
Okay so let me get it straight. Motivated Conor beat cowboy Unmotivated Conor lost against khabib Unmotivated Conor lost against floyd Motivated Conor beat eddie Unmotivated Conor lost against nate. Okay. Got it.
Dana RED
I hope Connor never wins another fight. Done with that smug clown.
brett okamoto shares too much of his opinion. noboy cares what he thinks....
Forget Poirier, I wanna see *McGregor vs Old Man In Pub 2* ...cmon Dana, hook it up

Funny
I don't think Khabib will return as a fighter. It doesn't seem to me as if Khabib is really interested in earning more money.
Dana White: STOP USING THE TERM 'THESE KIDS'. THESE MEN ARE NOT KIDS. IT SOUNDS STUPID AND IGNORANT.
I don't see khabib accepting that Fight.
Get it in your heads. Jon Jones can NEVER be the GOAT. Never. Tested positive more times than anyone else. Most stripped champion ever. Illegal strikes. Even when he wins it looks like he loses. Close fights - Pillow hands these days. Most of his career beat up Middleweights and calls out guys from lower weight classes. take your pick. and thats NOT mentioning anything outside the Octagon.
that joana does not get the rematch after that close fight last time is just a shame
Why should Poirier Vs Clownor fight for the title??? Thiss is what MMA Media guys and some fighters don't understand Dana is right. UFC will make big money\ for the title or not. He could make more more big money if Clownor wins and then fights for the title We all know Clownor never defends his belt
Now, why I have a feeling that Poirier is not gonna make it 🤔 and there will be a replacement..
Interviewer: Happy 2021 Dana: Happy 2020
Hello, Humans. "Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."-Buddha TERRANCE OUT
Don’t worry people Don Frye and Dan Severn start recording there own podcast February 6 in Tucson Arizona. “Dan and Dons Toxic Masculinity Podcast.”
SUBS in spanish plss
brett okamoto is the goat of interviews. such a class act
Is Dana on Crack? The way his ‘s’ sound ?
Dana's upped the juice!
💯They talk about Dana could of retired years ago and go chill on a huge boat and Dana says UFC is the biggest sport in sports and 2020 was a great year but why are UFC fighters always asking for better pay💰 and if they ask Dana for better pay Dana tells them “ I always tell fighters you don’t have to fight if you don’t want” lol. Dana how about 2021 we start of bye paying fighters better they train hard and take kicks knees punches chokes and they only take over 100 grand a fight if that if they loose they take half a pay lol wow. Some get paid like 30,000 a fight lol wow while Dana could of retired years ago he’s the only promoter in the UFC so he’s making all the cash. That’s crazy
Deceased father wants - 30-0 Alive and well mother says - forget your father’s wishes - 29-0 enough! Seems a little selfish to me?🤷♂️ maybe the only person on the 🌏 that wants him to retire?

A mother’s word comes first, at least imo
I think it’s done wonders for my business” BS.... Bahahaha
Who do you think has more money, Conor or Dana?
No one cares about conor
Who else thought Brett was going to give Dana a Rim. JOB?
The day that ether of those guys fights every weekend...
Thats a 9/10 on the Dana Red Scala.
Dana got a fake ear or am I tripping?
I’m down bad 😔
Where tf is mac's interview
Give me 2,000,000.00 and I will fight anyone
Dana and the people running fight island at abu Dhabi open venues in each state they fight in creating an area for the fighters to quarantine like in abu Dhabi but in each state they hold fights. No better partners to do it with.

Vegas be the first.
Dana be looking like a dollar store version of Uncle Fester ahhaha...
Hey look, its Charlie Runkle
Dana for the love of god make the rematch between Conor and Khabib!!! Plzzzz
Genuinely love listening to Dana he’s a legend
Conor will beat Dustin and then beat Khabib in a rematch. Ik I sound delusional to sum of you but there was a lot of factors that played into his Khabib loss that no one talks about
Nobody could ever run the UFC like Dana White... I hope that lawsuit doesn't mess it up like boxing.... All I want is pay the fighters a little more money....
Who is this Howey Mandel?
What's in Wigglytuff's mouth???
MAN SCREW CONNOR THE CLOWN.
great interviewing brett!
this sport should never have grown and i dont think it will get much bigger from where it is now. from a big picture perspective, the brutality is disgusting, actually disgraceful. boxing is one thing but this should not be happening.
the only thing dana loves more than the UFC is grilled cheese.
"This Kid"..."This Kid"...Conor is a kid still ??
Conor represents eu welfare betas - weak AF (mentally) forever regardless
