with 3 kids
Is Dana married?
with 3 kids
If they ask about it he probably just says something like
"That is just Daddy playing a character on TV, don't take it seriously"
ah cmon...the guy doesn't drink or do drugs...his kids are set up for life and will go to great schools.
So he has a foul mouth.
I used to hate the guy and I like him a lot now.
Little clean-up from this conversation via fightlinker quoting a Japanese blog that has some speculation. Shaky source at best concerning the money owed Diaz that just popped up.
Dream pays Nick Diaz in full from his last bout in May. Diaz agrees to return to fight in Japan, however at this point it is unclear for which organization. - GracieFighter
A quite big Japanese MMA blog made a post today that KJ Noons, Charles “Krazy Horse” Bennett, and Nick Diaz are going to SENGOKU and that KJ Noons will most likely debut on the New Years Event.
I guarantee you with the way he is jet-setting all over the place, he drinks and parties plenty.
Charles Bennett...I hate him so much. He is the biggest jackass ever...bar none. Diaz and KJ are gonna have to fight somewhere....
I doubt he has time. That guy works too much. Have you watched and of those pre-fight youtube videos?
Have you ever seen him, with all of the pics, at an after party trashed? Sure he may have a drink but I wouldn't call him a "drinker" as in someone who indulges. Look at all of those videos where he is up at 4 am working and he is stone sober.
Guy has gotten bigger lately and isn't just round...seems focused on his health... I dunno...just doesn't seem like the type.

I agree with what you said Evan. Dana is very focused on work, and when he isnt working he probably spends time with his family.
crazy...whats the story with that Bennett fight when he used the ropes to raise himself to kick? Did he get a warning or anything? Crazy stuff....
Good Points, on second thought, yeah your right he probably doesn't party all that much. I still don't care for Dana's at ude though. I respect all he has done for MMA and lord knows i love the UFC, but all the cursing and really bullying tactics are getting very old by this point.
His constant fighter bashing is something that has always pissed me off as it makes no damn sense. Calling Fedor overrated is not getting him in the UFC any faster. Calling o a friggin Moron is not smoothing anything over to get him to re-sign any quicker. Recently when he threw Sylvia under a bus after he lost to Fedor that was waaay over the line for me. Saying how he "Was stinking the joint up for years and thank god Fedor got rid of him" I'm no Tim fan but this is a guy that had a heck of a career in the UFC. Heavyweight champ 2 times over. Why does Dana have to trash him like that to make him look bad?? He does it to make his company appear better. Typical bully. "That guy lost because he sucks that is why we got rid of his ass" "Fedor is a fraud until he gets his ass in our company" I just can't stand him always running his mouth. I know part of his deal is he is a promoter but at this point with all the talent the UFC has, the way he runs his mouth is hardly necesarry anymore. We don't need Dana White cursing up a storm and beating his chest to sell Penn Vs GSP 2. And can the man go 2 sentances without saying " ", i mean is that possible?? That video i posted of Dana was both funny and 100% accurate.

You have to just roll your eyes and ignore that. That stuff used to bother me until I read Chuck's auto biography and he explained that "part of Dana's job is to be a carnival barker."
The UFC and Dana know exactly what they are doing…the day such a brash at ude doesn't work anymore with the public he will stop. He has already turned it down a lot.
However…he does have a fierce 'your either with us or against us' at ude and considering he is neck deep in a industry full of cheaters, ego's and thieves it’s the only way to survive. It works. There is no way he could deal with agents, fighters and compe ors unless he acted like a 800lb silver back gorilla.
Unapologetically I really like and admire the guy but when he starts his trash talking I pay zero attention to it. Literally. My eyes will just shoot to the end of the quote. I guarantee not even Dana takes it seriously.

I had no clue they were that powerful.

Anderson Silva confirmes he will retire after his contract with the UFC is finished, probably around June 2009.

WOW, if his heart is not really into fighting like it was, Cote may have a shot here. Not impossible, Serra hit the lotto with GSP once upon a time. If he is serious about retiring, i would expect the UFC tries to push for GSP and Silva to fight soon. Maybe even after the Penn fight.
He'll be back…I bet he's gone for 1-2 years and comes back at LHW.
er.......I hope he will anyway....the over positive fan in me talking....
Well if he wins all 6 of his fights left, he'd be undefeated in the UFC, so he may just want to go out on top.
