Proof bullying goes beyond the school yard.

December 13, 2011 by Marc Gordon divider image

UFC boss Dana White gets nasty on a fan while his fighters tell students to play nice. And this is all happening while a national retailer’s marketing efforts are being overthrown by a religious group using their own bullying tactics. Just another day.

    Funny how you failed to mention what was said to Dana White prior to his initial tweet. This was tweeted to him: “i hope you get flooded in hate for this you joke of a promoter. youre a fucking snakeoil salesman.” Dana White replied with “I hope you get kicked in the nuts twice today”. The tool deserved that reply for such a comment. Marc Gordon, it would help if you could report on the matter in an unbiased manner.

    Hey Brad, thanks for the tip. I was looking for the original tweet but the guy took his Twitter page down and the media did not publish it. I will deal with this in my next episode. Where are you from so I can give you a shout out for your contribution?

    Love how you didn’t mention the original tweet. Pretty sure that was on purpose to spin the story in a biased manner. If someone told me I was a “joke” in my profession and called me a “snakeoil salesman”. I wouldn’t have any problem by wishing them in a daily double nut-kicking. No it’s not bullying. It’s a less than light reprisal.

    Pretty ironic at the start of your video has the Dawkins quote “So what if I’m offended?”

    Awwww, you delete my comment. You know the one where I told you to go fuck yourself faggot!

    Sincerely,
    UFC Fan!

    Hey Thomas, If you were smart enough to recognize Dawkins’s quote, I would think you would be smart enough to notice I dealt with the original tweet issue in the previous comment.

    Oh right! That was you. I had no idea they gave internet access to guys in prison. On that note, don’t they offer high school equivalency exams? Work on your grammar and you might make something of yourself yet.

    One of the lessons teachers try to impart in discussing bullying is this: regardless of what one person says, don’t lower yourself to their level and bully (or insult, or whatever) back. So for me, it doesn’t matter what was said before – be a bigger person. Dana didn’t have to say anything… but UFC fighters probably don’t have the wherewithall to actually think about that before they speak. I have no doubt that the blood spatters around the UFC ring contain brain matter too!

    Good point, Dana. And that’s that’s the key message here.

    Way to go Marc for standing up to all of these guys! Dana was an idiot to tweet that out to this Darius guy…especially after all the PR nightmares that celebs have had with Twitter. Bullies love audiences. Dana is powerful enough to find this guy on his own and deal with the matter privately and not thru social media channels, if he was really that pissed.

    Dana White is an idiot. I love the UFC, and MMA, but Dana White is a horrible President. Anyone with a brain and the money he has would ignore the “haters” and be the bigger man. But no, he has to act like a twelve year old kid. The guy is horrible for the sport. FYI Dana White is the same guy who fired UFC fighter Miguel Torres for quoting a TV show on Twitter. It was joke about rape, which should be punishable, rape is no laughing matter. But the same day at a press conference “Main Eventer” Rashad Evans makes a comment towards his opponent Phil Davis, that he was gonna put his hands on him worse than the guy from Penn St. did to those kids. Obviously making light of the Penn St. rape scandal. What did Dana do to Rashad? Nothing because he is a big name. Forrest Griffin another big name recently posted a joke about rape, and Dana White again did nothing. Then two days ago Dana White responded to a Tweet from a guy saying he should be assassinated, but saying, “@Dicker410 learn how spell dummy!! Assassination!!! The one you spelled is what must have happened to you in prison.”. Which is making light of Prison Rape. What is Dana White thinking. Not only is he a hypocrite. He is an idiot!
