But really, what’s the big deal? So she says that agents and managers can’t get backstage…why does White take this as a personal insult? If she’s wrong, can’t he just dispute her facts by stating the UFC’s policy and move on? What’s the point of the temper tantrum?

The good thing about this behavior trait is that you’ll always know what Dana’s thinking because he doesn’t sugarcoat anything. And the bad thing about doing this is that he can often piss off many people with his no-holds barr tirades.

I’ve written articles for MMAnews.com and despite never personally meeting Dana, I feel as though I know who he is as a person and what he’s all about. I have no doubt that Dana goes to bat for his friends in any type of situation whenever asked or even if they don’t ask him for help. I believe he will always protect his friends (not referring to the physical aspect) as though he was protecting himself. He will feverishly protect the UFC – the multi-million dollar company he started with his good friends (the Zuffa brothers).

Initially, when Dana asked Zuffa to invest millions of dollars into the UFC, it appeared that they were going to lose their investment. Only due to Dana’s insistence and demeanor, did Zuffa not sell. They wanted to minimize as much of their losses as possible but Dana convinced them to hold out and not sell. If Dana didn’t have the attitude that he has, he wouldn’t have been successful in convincing Zuffa to hold out and we would not have the UFC that we so enjoy.

So, when people like Ms. Hunt denigrate the company Dana built from almost nothing, he can sometimes lose his composure. I truly believe that he takes these insults and/or attacks personally. Instead of absorbing or deflecting the insult(s), because we know that no one can make everyone happy, Dana instantly goes into attack mode. Due to all the blood, sweat, tears and money that Dana has invested, I believe that he takes every insult to heart and feels as though the person making the insult is attacking the UFC.

I think that Dana treats the UFC as though it were his child (or children) and any normal person will do everything in his power and use every tool in his or her arsenal to protect his children. So when someone goes after the UFC (his children – like Loretta did), Dana’s “switch” is instantly flipped on. You’ll get many people to say that doing this is a good thing and conversely, you’ll get many people to say that when Dana does this, it is not a good thing. Only you can decide what you think is right.

But, you must agree that whatever Loretta says, she needs to know what she is talking about and simply not spout untruths simply because she either doesn’t like Dana or the UFC.
