Lou, he was a brown noser. You hated him.
White, 39, infuriates some fans, although it is probably just a vocal minority. Most appreciate the product he’s delivered. That he’s a huge star in his own right, though, rankles some. Strangely, his harshest critics are generally hardcore fans you’d think would appreciate his unquestioned dedication to the sport and ability to take it from back alleys to mainstream.
I didn’t know appreciating his role in the sport and criticizing his flaws are mutually exclusive propositions.
Dana’s done plenty of good for MMA and the UFC, but we shouldn’t have to preface our statements every time we want to say something critical about him. And there’s plenty to criticize – potentially blackballing fighters who appear in an EA MMA game, putting himself on the cover of the inaugural issue of UFC magazine, constantly antagaonizing fighters, managers, etc.
