This guys is straight up interrogating Dana like he’s doing a police investigation 😂
Yeah it sounded like that..
A good reporter should be naturally adversarial with those in power, they report to the people. That's why the best reporters aren't liked by executives Lol.
@@dailydissent6076 What “people”? They all work for someone. And that someone has an agenda and narrative because that is what pays the bills. The media is brainwashing people. This western propaganda is what’s destroying middle eastern war torn countries.
@@dailydissent6076 this guy found out nothing lol he wasn't good
I mean..I get his point. When the f are we going to see Jon Jones already at HW. Can't wait for it! We need an answer!!
The reporter is talking like Dana owes him a few millions dollars 😂
I like him, nice and direct 😂
Bro this comment has me laughing out loud man.
I'm wondering what he looks like
He’s like the weasels twin brother
@@youtube-nutzer2895 yeah cuz you're slow.. it wasn't even a funny or original comment
That “I feel like we’re missing a co main event for that fight” Dana’s response had me dying🤣
This reporters energy screams “LOOK AT ME. I AM THE CAPTAIN NOW”. And Dana loves it 😂
I think Dana low-key appreciated the reporter pressing boldly.
Yes, Dana wouldn’t be where he is if he didn’t love aggression.
If you can make Dana laugh like this guy did he's got a good sense of humour so you'll get on his good side
As long as you don’t bring up fighter pay
I think he's fed up with reporters kissing his ass.
Yeah that turned out well for Ariel Helwani 💀
Dana was unusually patient with the guy 😂
That’s the privilege confidence gives you.
He respects confident people clearly.
He likes people who’ve got balls. Look at how much he let the Diaz brothers get away with. Any other fighter would’ve gotten cut for half the shit they did but they kept main eventing cards
@@AWCTB Except Ariel haha.
@@LongJohnnn Ariel ask the bold questions. But not with the same delivery. How you say it plays a big part with what you say.
First time Dana has spoken to his boss for a while 😂😂😂
This dude should be there for every press conference from now on
I wish I had that reporter’s confidence 😂
Yeah is he a specifically ny reporter because I definitely get the vibes. He's the type of guy I could imagine calling out questions to Mickey Cohen lol
Was talking to Dana like he's a subordinate. Was douchey tbh.
I have a feeling he won’t be invited back ever again… lol
@@TheRealAbraxas HAHAHA SAME
That reporter seemed more delusional than confident. I can't imagine acting like that to someone then ever getting invited back
15 years watching and I've never had a reporter crack me up like this 😂 Rest in peace Anthony Rumble Johnson. You are loved and you will be missed🙏
Same lmao
Yeh his up there with the pepto-bismol guy
Dana has a crap attitude
Lol yes sir
Ariel Helwani had funny moments with rampage and the Masvidal one about his father being in jail ask twice then said you also spent time in jail😂 But Ariel a journalist so yeah your right in a way
I actually love this interaction. Both guys stayed professional and Dana took it softly, like a true professional.
I expected Dana to explode any second ... but somehow didn't happen !
Asking the same question four times because he didn’t like the answer isn’t professional. Reporters should press for information but Dana was pretty clear with his answer right away. I guess it could’ve gotten ugly and it didn’t but that guy handled himself like a clown. The reporter didn’t even articulate half of his sentences clearly. Far from professional but everyone’s entitled to their opinion
@@copeboi7714 Dana has been bullshitting for too long with this division. People want answers, good on the reporter for pressing him
@@dailydissent6076 oh yeah for totally changing his definition
@@dailydissent6076 Answer for what? If he wants answers at least he could articulate his question properly. I don't think anyone, him least of all, even knew what he was asking about.
The guy seems like a genuine UFC fan by the way he spoke passionately about multiple points. Probably the only reason Dana spared him 😂
The best part was later in the presser, the same reporter still had a mic and Dana asked, “How does he still have a mic?!”
that was hilarious lol that dude just chimed in randomly again later on
And his quip later “ he has a problem with the heavyweight division “ roflmao. Best presser I’ve seen
@@gregr5178 I dont think that was him. I thought it was Kevin Iole who said that
@@enrapturedgoose5317 I am maintaining that it was him. Its more funny that way.
You got to appreciate reporters like this. He's never getting invited back to a UFC event, but for a couple of mins, he gets to ask some hard questions to the boss, and Dana gives the fans a couple more memorable moments for the 'Dana gets angry' highlight reel. Fkn hilarious
Lmao we all live for these Dana White moments 😂
We really need a Dana White greatest moments (maybe they already have)
He gets invited back... Dana will start just asking him questions going "here we fucking go"
idk I reckon Dana definitely seen the funny side of this
Oh yeah such hard questions ‘When’s your next big card?’ ‘Vegas all day?’😂 Guy was embarrassing himself.
At first I wasn’t into the interviewers approach when he was putting words into Dana’s mouth but he grew on me quickly 😂😂😂
Took a page from Ariel Helwani's book
Please bring this guy back, I have never laughed so hard hahaha
"Who is this guy?" Dana is fucking hilarious HAHAHA
Is he fucking awesome?
@@Jjw338 we're gonna miss dana when he retires lol
People don't know what they have til it's gone, brother 😂
Incredibly hilarious 😆
For real, i don't want Dana to retire from the ufc, ufc ain't gonna be the same without him
Dana asks “Who is this guy?” As he smiles. Dana likes this interviewer. None of them have balls to be straight up with the boss.
Dana doesn't at all like this dude, he's just straight up bewildered by how arrogant and stupid this reporter is. You ever been so mad that you started to laugh like "who the hell is this idiot?"
Correct
Absolutely not. He is laughing because of his behaviour and the kind of questions he is asking and the way he was twisting Danas words. Dana felt the exact opposite of liking him.
@@kenjohn12 Dude had zero respect for Dana and Dana could feel the energy from this dude, anyone that says otherwise is an idiot
Laughing because it’s a dumbass question
“So there’s a chance Stipe never fights again, and is a fireman” low key took a shot a Stipe with that one 😂
How is that a shot at stipe? He’s actually a firefighter it’s his full time job while he also does UFC on the side.
“So there’s a chance Stipe never fights again and I’m gay”
He makes it sound like being a firefoghter is something horrible to be. It's actually, as all know, a pretty heroic job a man can do
@@youlig1 Damn right. Takes a lot of courage to go into a burning building to save people you don't even know, and I think we all agree Stipe would be the first one in to help. Saving lives for the 9 to 5 and breaking jaws on a few weekends out the year. He is an absolute work horse as well. Look how his physique can change to the opponent he is fighting. Def in my top 5
@@youlig1 You guys are all butthurt like he's disrespecting firemen. He just brought it up. Quit crying.
I'm not even mad 😂 This guy's demanding attitude was so random and out of nowhere I just laughed lol
“your least favorite media member” *dana immediately understands* -we all know he’s talking about ariel 😆
@just i c e spam
“We are but men, drawn to act in the name of revenge that we deem to be justice. But if there is justice in revenge, then that same justice will breed only more revenge and trigger a cycle of hatred.”
@@huncho_los Are you talking about adesanya?
Yes we do all know. But you still had to point it out to everybody lol
@@huncho_los don't be gay bro
That was great! Dana was a champ at taking it in stride and giving an unknown a chance to ask all the Q’s he wanted
Dana was in a really really good mood that day. I was glad to see another human being buzzed with happiness like that.
This is like a teacher-student conversation where Dana is a student getting questioned😂😂
Nah it was dana being a professional to a drunken overconfident reporter. He was looking for a fight and dana wasnt having it. I wouldn't have had that patience.
@@tclyde865 Nah Dana was getting humble and this guy deserve a raise.
to me it felt like dana was the arogant teacher that doesnt need to listen to the students points cuz its just a student and he's the teacher
We got Ninganoo coming off an injury 🤣🤣🤣
Dude was really close to another word lmaooo
yeah he almost had a slippery slope and straight up calling him like he feels about him
@@afroahmed3989 how can you type this out and think its a good idea. the reporter couldve been black himself
@@benpuljak2304 that's not a black man sound
@@benpuljak2304 zero chance that reporter was black. He actually said who he was too…
This reporter has me dying, bruh 😂
did UFC bab this guy?? he ask real questions
I lost it on the 2nd "So what can you give us on the Heavy Weight Division right now?" lol
Roflmfao
Dana got put in the rapid fire test and was welcoming about it, shows his character and patience
On another day he would have told him to stfu lol
Shows patience by holding Ningannou prisoner for 4 years with only 4 fights and literally trying everything to cheat him out of a victory over Gane. His character is scum
Youre kidding, right? It's because MSG sold out and thats it. Dana is an evil marionet with too much money. Fuck him. He does aid in setting up good fights. Thats about it.
Nah I think this reporter just caught Dana on a good day
I was dying laughing watching this live and it's doing it to me again right now LOL
Best interview to date with Dana white lmao that's guys confidence was great
We neeed this guy pressing Dana more often shit was hilarious 😂😂
All good questions too
this proves dana's patience has grown 10 fold
Fr that keto diet lowering his blood pressure 😂
He honestly seems in better moods after starting working out
I love his patience and maturity also. It was really a funny interview.
@@matthewobrien8456 True. Best medicine
@@SebSosa not how that works. Having a diet high in saturated fats is worse for your blood pressure haha
That chemistry between Dana and the reporter was fantastic! More plz
dana lowkey likes this guy😅
I hope this guy shows up every post fight presser from now on, this made my weekend 😂😂😂
Naw, he’s annoying
3 mins of another man talking made your weekend?… bruh… go touch women
@@namu2896 lol
@@namu2896 maybe he’s into man wich is why hearing another man talk for 3min made his day
@@namu2896 holy shit im dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude had the whole room cracking up. I kind of like him.
They were definitely more laughing at him
@@hansoloburger2322 They were laughing at him being a hardass / troll lol. They knew how dana felt as we all do so it's funny to see.
@@CaptainBuggyTheClown so you’re speaking for how they were thinking? Interesting
@@CaptainBuggyTheClown Nah they were laughing at him.
@@hansoloburger2322 so did you mate
Big ups to this guy for putting the throttle on Dana. In a week where we had a pre-fight presser which involved such riveting questions like "I'm from a betting site, are you a lock???" and a reporter asking Dusting and Chandler "Which one of you is gonna knock the other one out??" This guy's got balls and he's got integrity. Please replace the entire media lineup with guys like this.
2:05 He was about to ask about Stipe again LMFAOOOO
Actually decent reporter ngl. He ain’t a sucker and Dana appreciated it
If UFC was a sitcom
Life is a sitcom.
Dana got flashbacks to when he was shaken down in Boston. 😂
I watch this whem im having a bad day lmao
This guy is 100% trolling Dana lmao.
Kids on the internet don't know what trolling is
Nah
He's not trolling he's asking legit questions ,you're seeing what you wanna see
A troll or a dummy 😂
This reporter actually wants to get a clear answer, hope he's always there from now on
@just i c e spam
@@JustinTheRevenant no he didn't, Dana does what he's always done and says he doesn't know, but the reporter would bring up news updates that were released that contradicted what Dana was saying and Dana had to elaborate more on his answer, don't know what you were hearing but this reporter was the first one since Ariel to not get the standard answer from dana.
No dude he's putting words in Dana's mouth 😭 that's not a clear answer, that's the answer he WANTS to hear
@@ngatiwarrior6975 you ever think, that maybe, Dana actually doesn't know? That's what negotiations are for genius. And Dana isn't even the matchmaker anyway. Like wtf are you on about
The reporter isn’t looking for an answer, he’s looking for a headline for when he reports this. “Dana White claims Stipe may never fight again.” Which has a domino effect.
This was hilarious. I like the pressure.
@Seeing Star spam
@Seeing Star f fake links but i liked the video thank you sir
0:37 So there is a chance stipe miocic never fight again and is a firemen. LOL
His Questions are Great though for Fans like Myself who have Been waiting to Hear more Info about those Fights.
Dam this new episode of Dana Whites looking for a fight is nuts
@just i c e spam
So you’re saying there’s a chance 😂😂😂
I didn’t say that you said that
Tbh I appreciate this guy's boldness . Cuz he brought some light into this part of the subject in which as a casual UFC fan, right now It feels like the heavyweight division doesn't even exist. Not that it does literally but the real action and vibe is just isn't there anymore I don't even get excited anymore. it's just cold all of a sudden after Ngannou
absolutely love how Dana rags on him but still answers the questions, and even resets at the end and thinks about a real response instead of just moving on
Dana hasn’t changed since day 1. Love him or hate him, we’re always with him.
100% I've always been a huge fan of Dana White
Dana was never my friend
Speak for yourself I'm with the fighters getting fair pay.
@@mikehunt6160 do some research buddy, fighter pay has been slowly going up. Every time they release how much they've made it's actually gone up
@@jcam320 Yeah but they make a fraction of the profits when every other sports organization gives the athletes 50 percent of the profits. No need to be snarky.
Honestly dude was kinda rude but he had balls lmao
Actually if you listen to it, you wouldn't be able to show any exact moment where he is 'kinda rude'. He isn't sucking up , and he is assertive in wanting his questions to get answers.
That's the way you should talk to Dana White who's an absolute 🐖.
Or he's an idiot
Not rude at all. Just kept asking questions because he wasn't getting the answers he wanted
Not rude.. he’s from New York. So Is Dana. It’s their cultures love language.
The sad thing is, we never heard from this man again 😂
Sad really
I'm not a fan of Dana White but I do respect the fact that he isn't afraid to speak his damn mind and tell it like is especially when he's doing interviews with reporters who ask stupid questions.
Ya
Lol dana was torn to being annoyed and amazed at the same time.😂
Yo they missed the best part lmao 2 minutes later Dana is like "Nowadays nothing bothers me anymore" And this reporter goes "The heavyweight division bothers you" And Dana goes "Does this guy still have a microphone?? Who the hell gave him a mic?" Lmao
Is this on video lol I want to see
Fr. What an L
Lmaoo does anyone have it
Watching this 1 year later - So funny how every match they were looking to make fell through.
This is definitely the people's champ. He asks a question and then grills on all of the news lines that we want to ask about this is perfect
How many time you gotta hear “I don’t know” to get your answer that he doesn’t know?
@@Alvah707 Hey he got more and more information every time he asked. If you ask four different questions about the same topic and each time the person gets more uncomfortable and says I don't know, that's information.
I like how he said "I feel like we're missing a co main event" like he is some kinda vice president of UFC and he is sitting in a private meeting with Dana or some shyte 😂😂
great reporting
THE CONFIDENCE! I believe this “guy”, “reporter” is Dennis Bermudez who at one point was a killer in the Light weight division thats why he referred to himself as Danas “old boy” meaning as his old fighter who use to host mma shows for fox and fought on BIG cards, also a finalist in TUF with Miller vs Bisbing , He fought outta and lives on Long Island and this card was at MSG so this probably why he hasnt been seen before at other cards and seems ambitious for the spot light. Hes awesome and was a great fighter and maybe even a greater reporter lol hope to see more of Mr.Bermudez
He works for Dennis Bermúdez podcast. He Is not Dennis lol
Bro got the most scoop from Dana in a post fight conference since 2008. Good job. Haha.
😂
Dana respects reporters like that guy , al the other reporters are weak individuals
1:12 should be in the encyclopedia under "befuddlement" 😂
Imagine how great the world would be if all journalists and news anchors were frank like this guy.
Baiting people with loaded questions for an out of context soundbite?
That's how you get raw answers. Ask a simple question make them try to figure out the right answer. Most journalists give an explanation with a question making it easier for the person to answer.
Imagine how amazing s9ciety would be if all people had and could speak with self confidence....then ask yourself why only a few reach ALL of our potential...then solve the problems of the world =)
This journalist was terrible and awkward. And he took up way too much time. Just another inconsiderate, unprofessional asshole.
Interviews would be impossible to watch if they were all like this. “How did your mother die” “Drunk driving” “So you are saying that your mother got drunk and killed herself” 😂 bro was just putting words into his mouth about Stipe
I like this reporter, no beating around the bush and straight to the question, if he doesn’t get an answer he’s gonna keep asking 😂
He’s drunk. Dana makes all these geeks look like idiots
Annoying
Did Dana get to call his Lawyer?
This is hilarious. Normally I'd side on the press side but this has me in stitches
Good job dude. Make him answer the questions properly. Dana is the type of guy who answers with his age when he's asked what's his name.
You know this isn't a court hearing right? He is doing the press to promote his event(s). The reporters are invited to attend by the UFC. What on earth are you thinking this is?
Dudes career won't last long if he keeps this forceful attitude. Trust me. The likes of dana will keep him away if he gets to forceful. He needs to learn abit of respect. Speaking to the president of the company like a chump on the street
@@jimsmith8359 without reporters, you aint promoting $hit 🤣🤣🤣
@Dr retardo what's a serbian?
@@TextieruL anyone can be a reporter. White needs none of them. Those people have zero power over him.
watching this live was funny af
I pretended it was live when i watched it and I'll have to agree. It was funny
559? Visalia ?
@@andrewmartinez9992 na I think 559 is Tugunma
@@ConduitKingg lmfaooo
1:10 to 1:34 Can't stop laughing, the interrogation hahaha
I think dana appreciated that he had actual questions about the sport and was pissed he didnt have direct answers.
The embodiment of 'make it happen, Dana!' LOL 😆
Haha, well said 😎
I lost it at "who is this guy?" 😂
That was actually a breath of fresh air.
We need more of this guy!
That man was trolling hard and dana handled it well😂
He wasn’t trollin tho
Def wasn’t trolling my guy
Nothing about that was trolling. He didn’t beat around the bush and wasn’t scared to ask for the truth.
Everything isn't trolling
@@TopDoggg he was trolling he asked the same question like 5x and talked about his feelings lol
That's how you make your mark! Guy is now on Dana's radar, for better or worse 😂
Damn good journalism!!
I don’t think Dana is gonna let that guy back in for another media day😂😂
These are the hard hitting questions man lmao
Those 2 could be a TV show. That was awesome. Love how Dana always has same energy.
Is this one of the guys from FullsendMMA? Lol 🤣
I clicked this thinking it was recent because it was recommended to me, and only realised it wasn't when they were talking about francis vs jon.
“Security can we get this guy outta here”😂
yo i fuck with this reporter. we need more guys like him 😂
This guy is awesome. This is how you ask questions to get answers.
Reporter sounded like he wanted a heavyweight title shot 😂
Love his look sideways and his “that sucks” response. Seemed like he found out right then and had nothing lol
I think after some more dialogue, Dana understood the lightheartedness of the convo
His “OK…” is so good 😂
This guy ALWAYS brings up ariel Helwani hahahha
Normally pushy reporters bug me but I like this guy lol
Reporter of the year lmao 🏆
Good probing questions!
This was 1 year ago and we still don't know what's going on with the heavyweight division? Where is Stipe and Jon Jones??!?!?
I mean shoutout him for pushing the topic of heavyweight division people wanna know what’s going on
This reporter grilled Dana like he was a prosecutor lol. He was saying what we all want to say to Dana lol.
Excellent journalism ❤
