Why can't White get his head out of arse and prevent unnecessary fighter eye damage?
MMA coach Trevor Whittman (and others) have designed fighter gloves that nearly removes the possibility of dangerous eye pokes (see Tom Aspinal's recent damage) because fingers can not be extended as they can with UFC gloves. Despite approaches, White refuses to change. Why?
Having bought UFC to the masses against the odds, what other sport or form of entertainment do you think deserves to have mainstream recognition that doesn't currently?
The NFL, NBA, and NHL all give athletes roughly 50% of total revenue, while the UFC pays fighters about 15–20%. If UFC fighters are truly ‘the best athletes in the world,’ why do they receive less than half of what athletes in every major sport do?
Statistically most businesses fail. Did you ever have doubts about the UFC becoming the success it is today? What do you think is the secret to your success?
More importantly, I think that many problems in today's society come from the fact that most people just can't accept that they will live normal, unremarkable lives, without fame or fortune, but not only is there nothing wrong with that, that's something more people should embrace. What would you be doing if you never found the entrepreneurial success that most people never attain? What kind of 9 to 5 could you picture yourself having?
For the love of Christ, can you please add more weight divisions like Cruiser weight. What has been the reason for stopping you all from doing so or is this by choice?
Another question. Is it difficult to find female fighters? The UFC has some great talent but it seems once one lady gets a belt, she’s holding that down for a long time.
In UFC interviews, often White can't understand the English when speaking and needs help to translate into American English. I guess when Americans want to travel the world they get in their car and drive. Who is going to translate into American for Francis or is White using Google translate?
Thanks for taking our questions. How are you doing/feeling now that its been a while since you worked with Gary Brecka and Ultimate Human to get your nutrition and exercise stabilized? Would you recommend the gene test? Can you tell us where you were and how you changed?
Konstantin v francis in an octagon.

Good to see, good people
If Dana had things he would say and change, to his younger self, what would they be?

We need a rival like Pride fc(minus the mob funding) to challenge the UFC. Its the only way the will pay more.
Hi Dana, great to have you on, can you tell us your favourite memory or funniest story of Hulk Hogan?
I have seen your standup routine. It is hilarious.! Why aren't you funnier on your podcast?
The fight fixing scandals will keep happening. Until the fighter pay issue is resolved.
Why do the UFC hold grudges with fighters which help them become successful? Frank Shamrock is never mentioned. Amongst others.

What is your strategy to keep American politics out of ufc and with fighters expressing strong political affiliations inside the ring

Keep up the good works lads!!
Why did you expand into slap fighting and BJJ rather than Kickboxing?
I need to correct myself The UFC in question is 294, UFC 294 is the jihad themed UFC event.
Here is a video of some of the chanting at 294 - https://x.com/bullyb170/status/1715777609487761705
The UFC294 Lightweight Champion, and Dagestan native Islam Makhachev voiced his support for Palestine in the Octagon at UFC 294. -

I apologize for any confusion.
Hi Dana,
Thanks for taking our questions. How are you doing/feeling now that its been a while since you worked with Gary Brecka and Ultimate Human to get your nutrition and exercise stabilized? Would you recommend the gene test? Can you tell us where you were and how you changed?
Thanks,
