I like to think Dana made a deal with the Devil to be successful in life, but his curse was that he would turn ever so slightly more red every time he screwed a fighter over.
dana trying to laugh away the pure fear he felt when Jan said that
Like Stipe minus the rage and savagery of taking the belt away from him
Theres literally no way Dana doesnt understand what Jan meant by that. Dana has to feign ignorance because what other choice does he have? “Ya sorry dude I really thought/wanted Izzy to win so we promoted him more.” Dana cant tell the truth like that. Hes the boss he needs to say he has no bias
Seriously tho why is he that red that can’t be healthy
Dana looking like Kingpin from Into the Spider-Verse here
Dana’s redness is literally on the spectrum where he is close to turning purple
It’s not about what you did, it’s what you and media didn’t do, and that’s give him respect. Izzy was clearly the star and the fight was marketed as his claim to a second belt, ignoring the man who held that belt. And none of that is Izzy’s fault, he and the CKB team was giving credit where credit was due. Plus he was clearly the star. But you can’t treat a champ with that stellar resume like that.
I don’t think it was as bad as Nunes vs Rousey or Stipe vs Ngannou 1, but it’s up there and Jan was pretty clear in his message.
To be fair, earlier in Aljo’s career Dana didn’t believe in him and by earlier I mean last year basically. lol
Dana can deny it all he wants but it’s clear he doesn’t want Stipe, Jan, and Usman as his long reigning champions. He’s hoping Jones takes out Stipe if Frances can’t do the job.
Does Dana get more red every time he lies?
Dana Red
You not believe in me, i must break you
Man, is this guy red or what?
Jan knows what was meant to happen. He knows Adesanya got that fight because Adesanya was meant to be the double champ. He knows. Dana has plausible deniability but that’s all it is. Everyone knows that the UFC in general didn’t want Jan to win that fight.
Is shrimpy red a color yet?
Dana acts like fighters are crazy for feeling disrespected when he spends the entire fight week hyping up the future plans for their opponent as if it’s a foregone conclusion they’ll lose
“When did I not believe in you?! What the fuck?” Said Dana, hoping Jan wouldn’t re watch all the before fight press where everyone was on Izzy’s dick.
*nervous laugh* these guys are…..what’s the word I’m looking for??” *glances over shoulder* “these guys are fucking crazy man!”
He might as well have said that to almost everyone in r/mma
I think on one hand it wasn’t as bad say Stipe v Ngannou, but yeah Jan is 110% right
Dana: … What’s the word I am looking for..
Reporter: honest?
No doubt about it that the UFC were wanting Izzy to win. Not more than Rogan wanted it though.
Dana’s blood pressure must be through the roof.
Stipe has entered the chat
well you sent a middleweight up to fight him for his first defense and aren’t hyping him to fight Jon, let Jon go up to heavyweight. So maybe that is why
Dude is 38, Jon is pulling the same shit to dodge him that he did with DC, letting him get older and shit. At least Izzy stepped up. Now Jon is pointing to this fight as to why Izzy should stay out of his mouth but he hasn’t fought Jan, he might’ve gotten knocked the fuck out.
I bet the words he wanted to use was “fucking ungrateful” and “I pay you!! I make you money!! Blah blah blah, I gamble too much.”
I think most fighters don’t really understand that the president of the UFC and the UFC marketing team are totally different entities. I don’t know this for sure but I believe there is a director of marketing, and this person’s job, and their teams job is to create the promotional materials for the fights that are created and approved by the matchmakers and the president of the UFC. How they choose to promote this is up to them and Dana may or may not be in there for approvals. Just because the story of this fight is about the middleweight champion stepping up to fight the LHW, doesn’t mean people don’t believe in you Jan.
Now I remember Dana disrespecting Stipe and Amanda by showcasing Francis and Ronda like they were Gods, but how did he do Jan wrong?
Did I miss the UFC shitting on Jan? Yeah, Israel was used heavily in marketing as he is the bigger star who was challenging for two belts. However, I still saw a crap load of marketing for Jan and his “polish power” / how he was this amazing knockout artist.
I’m not gonna blame the UFC for fans/the media favouring Izzy.
