  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.
