THE TIM BLOG

Sure, the guy has built an empire, well the Zuffa brothers have built one. However, Dana is the face of MMA at this time, I just hate his arrogance and cocky swager. Below is a brief article about him and while reading the article I continue to hate him even more. Your thoughts???

“In the beginning in Boston, I paved fucking roads because I had to support myself. Then I went to work as a bellman at the Boston Harbour Hotel, and I was making good money but I started to realize this isn’t what I wanted my life to be. I mean, I respect anyone who earns a living, I respect a hard worker, but I had that moment when I realized this is not my dream, and I decided, then and there, that was it. I told a good friend of mine at the hotel, ‘I’m gonna be in the fight game—I don’t care if I clean the f——— ring at the end of the night or if I’m the spit-bucket guy, this is what I’m gonna do.’ He thought I was crazy.” “The one thing about this town is that young people can make it big, and it’s always been that way, unlike the East Coast or wherever. Old money doesn’t run everything here; young people, if they work hard, can make it.”

“Some men are born to fight. That’s who they are. They are not gonna fucking change. Then you have another section of society who’ve had some bad things happen to them in their lives, probably at a young age, and they are f——— angry, they have a huge amount of aggression. You can do one of two things: Take that aggression and use it in a positive way, or you can be nothing but f——— negative. Fighting has always existed and it always will.”

“I don’t give a f—- what color you are. I don’t care what country you come from, or what language you speak. Fighting is simply in our DNA. It’s the way we are built, period.”

“If you don’t like it, and you’re not into it, f—- it, don’t watch it. I don’t like golf. You know what I do? I don’t f——— watch it! What’s golf? A bunch of rich dicks walking around in stupid clothes and hitting a f——— ball. If we stopped that shit, we could build housing for people who can’t afford it on that land. And you have a problem with UFC? Come on, man. Everyone’s gonna have their opinions. I’m not gonna change that.”

“I believe the impact is gonna be huge. Kids now are really thinking about being UFC fighters; it’s a realistic dream. It’s great to be a basketball star and win world championships. How about, I’m the f——— baddest dude on Earth! That’s the shit that gives you goose bumps. And all the other sports stars show up to these fights, and they are in awe of how powerful and skillful these guys are.”

“I’m not kidding you: I started in a fucking broom closet across the hall, a f——- broom closet. That broom closet was my office. We just kept buying more and more of the building until eventually we owned it all.”

“There’s gotta be something that gets you out of bed in the morning, man, and for me, that’s fighting. When it comes to money, money doesn’t drive me. Winning drives me.”
