I can't think of one single intriguing fight coming down the pike for a long time...
****ing Dana ****ing White is a ****ing moron. Is it ****ing possible for that ****ing mental ****ing midget to ****ing complete a ****ing sentence without ****ing using the ****ing word ****ing?
It's a sad joke when somebody that stupid makes it big in this country.
God bless America I guess. | This wasn't a UFC event. EliteXC: Mixed Martial Arts - Elite Extreme Combat
There is a feud between Dana White of the UFC and Gary Shaw of Elite XC. Quote: Shaw-White Feud Could Be MMA's Arum and King
May 22, 2008

They don't have the lengthy track record of Don King and Bob Arum, but Gary Shaw and Dana White are certainly off to a good start in creating MMA's version of boxing's most famous promotional rivals.
Say this for EliteXC's Shaw: When the promoter is mad, you don't need much prodding to pull it out of him.
Incensed by comments UFC President White made in a recent interview deriding Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson, EliteXC's headline attraction for its May 31 broadcast on CBS, Shaw fired back with both guns blazing during a Thursday media conference call.
In a May 21 interview with the Long Beach Press-Telegram, White offered up his assessment of Slice and rival promotion EliteXC, whose coveted CBS slot will be the first mixed martial arts broadcast in primetime on network television. The 16-month-old Elite XC lacks the massive brand recognition the UFC has spent years building, but with the CBS slot, they've landed a deal that eluded UFC when it fell out of negotiations with both CBS and HBO last year.
"The amount of talent and fights we put on are second to none. Think about it, the CBS fight that they are coming up with, who gives a crap about Kimbo Slice?" White told the Press-Telegram. "This guy can't fight MMA. You know what would happen if he fought in the UFC? I'd put him in against (UFC lightweight champion) B.J. Penn (Pictures) and (Slice) would get annihilated. Kimbo has no credibility at all in MMA. I am telling you, B.J. Penn would beat him."
