My Top 5 UFC Fighters Who Fell Out With Dana White, But Are Now Friends.
Intro.
You don't get to be the head of the worlds larghest fight orginisation without making some enemies, and mr D White is no differant. This isn't new to the world of combat sports, as fighters and promoters have clashed over the years, but Dana White seems to have a bigger track record than most, so lets get into it.
5. Ken Shamrock.
Were do you begin with these two. Ken was known as an MMA legend leading into the early 2000's, and it was around this time that Zuffa came into picture. The timeline between these two is very extensive, and covers a lot of ground, so to say that these are like old siblings is an understatement, plus this gave us that classic Dana White moment when he said that Ken owed him money, and like The Terminator he's coming for it. The pair are on better terms now.
4. Ben Askren.
This one is a bit confusing, they went from cauticously hating each other, to being ok with each other, and it all started when White said that Askren was a boring fighter. White would be proven right, because ben isn't the most exciting fighter, but the images from 2018 with the pair in press conferences, actually getting along was a funny sight.
3. Tito Ortiz.
These two men have a very long timeline, that goes back over 25 years, so to go through all of this would take me until christmas 2056, so this is how i'm going to sum this up. From near fights. Money disputes, and the overarching power struggle, these two at one point had a river of hate between them, but now they seem pretty calm. Mic drop.
2. Brendan Schaub.
From his stand up routines, to his appearances on Joe Rogans podcast. Mr Schaub has never hidden away his opinions on Dana, and as time has gone by in this moment Dana would use X to explain his thoughts on Schaub. As the former Heavyweight fighter took shots at Chimaev, and the Reebok deal. Proving one thing. Money is the route off all that is evil, and Brendans haircut.
1. Oscar Delahoya.
Boxing and MMA have had it's own rivalries, from fans online. Dana White vs Floyd Mayweather, and then there's this classic. Dana White vs Oscar Delahoya. In the Summer of 2018 it was confirmed that Oscar was putting on an MMA PPV, dipping his feet into the MMA world. The PPV would be headlined by Chuck Liddell vs Tito Ortiz, with the first having no place in MMA due to being coaxed out of retirement. The then 48 year old Liddell would go on to get knocked out by The Huntington Beach Bad Boy. Both Dana, and. Oscar would go on a tirade of insults through the media, that would end with Dana's classic rant. Both men seem to on good terms these days.
