his politics and company man stuff aside, DC for president of the UFC would be necessary.

Just curious, has DC ever said anything openly political? A long time ago, I remember Roy Nelson (of all people) calling him a Tom, but can't recall him saying or doing anything overtly.

Could see him moving/acting a certain way to get that president's gig or keep those commentary checks coming.

He's a Trump supporter but isn't crying like a bytch about it like you have with Masvidal

but he was on that cac piece of shyt Crowder's show two years ago yucking it up with him, so take from that what you will.

also, when did Roy Nelson :dead:of all people say that.

with that said, I can see him with in a higher position as well, liven it up. Former double champ and Olympic caliber wrestler in a head office position is a good look, personality too.

White said he didn’t know what that meant, and also said if Jones wants the fight with Ngannou so badly, he should reach out to the UFC to make it happen. But White also said if Jones watched Ngannou’s decimation of Miocic, he might be wise to forego his move to heavyweight and move not just back down to 205 pounds, but to 185, instead.

“If I’m Jon Jones and I’m home watching this fight, I start moving to 185,” White told MMA Junkie. “… Sure. Listen, I could sit here all day and (ask) you, ‘What’s “Show me the money” mean?’ I tell you guys this all the time: You can say you want to fight somebody, but do you really want to?”

Jones later said he would be talking to the UFC about his terms – and alluded to making public the number he’ll be asking for to fight Ngannou for the heavyweight title.

Didn't know about either, but the Crowder thing alone is super suspect. But again, there's something about DC where I can say I'm not surprised. Agree that he'd be a better fit as the "face" of the promotion, assuming he's paired with someone who knows how to actually run the operation.

Roy was flagrant with it, but that got buried quick when it happened:

Dana is a fukking idiot. There are two big money fights in the UFC and both involve Jones. He better pay that man.
