Dana White defends #UFConFox, tells critics to "Shut up."

Regarding Steve Cofield's Yahoo! article "UFC on Fox postfight: White tells critics to 'shut up' " , seems as though Dana White had one helluva night.

Dana White was quoted in the article saying:

"For anyone to [expletive] about this fight because they didn't get to see [this fight or] that fight ... shut up!  You should've bought tickets if you wanted to see all the fights," White said. "And you don't like to watch them on Facebook? Seriously, shut up."

"Every weirdo comes from everywhere, [talking] about how bad fighting is and joining the 'Coalition of I Have Nothing Better To Do With My Life.''" said White. "These are the stories we have to tell to mainstream America. Because most of us in this room live in this bubble called MMA. It's a world of triangle chokes and arm bars, all the [expletive] people have never heard of. They don't understand it. They don't know what it is. We have to ease people into this, so that's what we did tonight."

"We have to educate people. We had to show features about these two guys tonight. They're two great athletes. They're two great human beings," White said. "We explained what this sport is and who these people are who are involved in it. They're not what you think they are."

I cannot believe there are so-called UFC fans that were upset about Junior Dos Santos' 1st round knockout win?!  Seriously?  I could understand those that are mad because they lost money on Valesquez, but that's the foundation of gambling for you.  You win some, you lose some.

Valesquez was a slight favorite since the line has been out, up to minutes before the start of the match.  Many people looked at him of being a big guy, who would be able to take Dos Santos down to the ground.  He would've likely done better had he put Dos Santos on his back and served him some Valesquez Ground and Pound. Unfortunately, HE DID NOT DO THAT!  (and even if Cain did get the takedown and was able to punish Junior with a beat down - then again, ref stoppage.. and again not a full 5 round championship fight)

People are so desperate to see a 5round fight on network TV! It COULD'VE happened, this time it didn't.  Maybe next time there's a UFConFOX show, it will.  People are upset because the 'free' championship fight ended in the first round?  How can you be upset when you see a freaking HEAVYWEIGHT just get knocked the fu out?!  You want FREE fights?  Watch the prelims on facebook, on spike, ... heck stream the damn event.

Enough.

It's a sport. Where two competing sides go at it and one comes out victorious (unless of course in a case of a draw - damn judges!).  We can try to predict, we can try to analyze and we can be absolutely sure who we want to win... but you can always count on unpredictability to mess with us.
