I saw this play out on twitter last night. They posted all of his personal info. You don't want to piss off the internet, Dana.

Wait... so someone who gets hit in the head for a living said something stupid? This is shocking, I am shocked.

The president of the UFC (a company worth well over nine figures) gets hit in the head for a living?

What are your thoughts on Roger Goodell?

If there isn't a thread tomorrow night for UFC on Fox II this would be a good fall back thread

Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis
Michael Bisping vs. Chael Sonnen
Demian Maia vs. Chris Weidman

As for the topic at hand :

A spokesman for Anonymous told Bullshido.net "the UFC owes almost all of its success to the Internet. It was the Internet that allowed fans of the sport to follow it after MMA was banned from pay per view, and it was those fans on websites like Bullshido, the UG, Sherdog, and others, who supported the sport in its infancy and helped it get mainstream credibility. By supporting SOPA, Dana White is basically telling those UFC fans, 'thanks for helping us hit the big time, now fark off'."

Pretty much THIS

It sounds like Mr. White has thought this through, replied rationally and there should be no unintended consequences.

Yep. The only thing he could've done that would be equally as stupid would be to go after bars that charge a cover to get in during fight nights.

Here's a gem from this guy:

What happened is, everybody's terrified of the internet, including all of you standing in front of me right now. I've seen it over the last five years. You guys are terrified of the internet. I'm not. I'm not afraid of the internet. It's fun to get on the internet and cruise around and stuff. I'm not afraid of it. So if you want to keep hacking our site, go for it. Watch what happens.

I get the feeling he thinks the internet is a place. Like if shows up at the internet and sees you talking to his girl then he'll beat you up.

I think Dana White needs to STFU and bring the UFC back to Milwaukee. That's what I think.

Sorry, you're right, I saw that giant head and stupid grin and assumed he'd come up from the inside, not that he'd worked his way up from aerobics instructor to his current position, which is actually well done. At least getting hit in the head would have been an excuse.

So, Dana, you want to go head-to-head with the "internet nerds?" Good luck with that, I am sure this will totally not come back to bite you in the ass.

FTFM. Hell, the primary reason anybody even knows about the UFC is that folks were able to keep interest alive by pushing UFC videos & commentary on the Internet.

UFC is frivolous entertainment, not science and the useful arts. It deserves no copyright protections. I suspect that is statement is just the UFC equivalent of a bad guy rassler firing up the crowd, though.

I've insisted for the last five years that Dana White is Vince McMahon all over again. It's nice to see Dana found a way to equal Stephanie McMahon's comment on the Smackdown! after Septemeber 11th, saying that the people who attacked the United States were like the people who went after her dad during the steroid trials.

To be fair that's what he's there to do. He's the mouthpiece, nothing more. The guy who doesn't get nearly enough credit for the UFCs success is Joe Silva.

"Boxercise" is the accepted term.

TUF the reality show has moved to FX not Fuel. New season starts up in March. The last prelims weren't hard to get a stream of. If enough people in your area call up and ask for Fuel just so they can watch the occasional undercard they might add it ..... for extra $$$.

He does realize that he'll never come face to face with "the internet", right? He'll never run into Anonymous at a bar and get to punch them. They don't need to leave their basements to screw with him, his sites, and his personal info.

Dana White is good at what he specifically does. That being said...mother of jesus he's an idiot sometimes. He acts like he's going to go to the internet's house, knock on the door, and do three rounds of fisticuffs with it.

What a maroon.

If I were Dana White, I'd be a bit more concerned about putting quality fights together and selling his shiat on the TeeBee/Fox. The last lot was turrable. All the pay per view heyday dollars are gone.

He is good at being overruled by the Fertitta brothers when it comes to making the most important decision in the Zuffa's history (TUF).

That's not on. Miller is actually a pretty cool guy, it'd be funnier if they went after Jon Fitch. It may just provoke a facial expression out of him.

Dana seems like a good business man and a decent guy but he needs to stfu sometimes, he's not always right and he got lucky by following the bill gates model of business to create a monopoly when nobody gave a damn.
