Dana White Post-Fight Press Conference | UFC 296 

Colby convinced so many people that he doesn’t cut weight, is cardio king in the UFC, can ragdoll top contenders, and that he’s a PPV superstar. None of it was ever true, but Dana milked it for as long as he could 😂

Come on! Dana definitely knew what he was doing when he sat Sean and Dricus in the same row

Dana white knew exactly wut he was doing seating them two together

Took me a second with Mitchell. Like "Damn, they cut him for losing?" Released from the hospital, not the company lol got it.

Dana: “This is not a business that waits for you.” Meanwhile waiting for 40-year old Jones

Props to John Morgan for asking about Bryce Mitchell right off the bat.

What a year 2023 was for the UFC: - Jamal Hill beats Glover Teixeria and wins the Light heavyweight title - Islam vs Volkanovski two champions go head to head - Grasso submits Shevchenko and wins the flyweight title - Jon Jones returns and wins the Heavyweight title - Israel Adesanya KOs Alex Pereira and regain his title - Cejudo return and fight Aljo for the Bantamweight title - Nunes defends the title and retires - Pentoja beats Moreno and wins the Flyweight title - Gaethje vs Poirier for the BMF title - O'Malley KOs Aljo and wins the Bantamweight title - Strickland beats Adesanya and wins the Middleweight title - Islam KOs Volkanovski defending his title - Alex Pereira goes up and wins the Light heavyweight title against jiri - Leon Defends the title against Colby - Pantoja Defends the title against Royval

Burns will definitely be a test for JDM.

Colby had one of worst gameplans in a title fight. Simply awful and is somewhat overrated as well. Hasn't even beaten anyone on a winning streak for over 5 years now. The UFC should have given Belal this title fight but rankings and winning streaks doesn't mean anything anymore... And Give Paddy someone in top 15 next or Benoit. He has had 24 MMA fights now and doesn't need any more experience.

After UFC 286 Dana said "Colby came here and cut weight, he deserves the next title fight" and now Belal did the exact same thing asked if he's up next Dana saying "I'm not even thinking about that right now"

I remember when it was Tony time. So tough watching him fight his last couple 😔. Forever a legend for us lifers ✊️

Tony had no reason to get Goggins. His cardio was NEVER a problem. So it was pretty stupid on his part for getting him. RETIRE or Dana needs to cut Tony. 7 in row? C'mon.

Many people say Colby didn't perform. It could be due to Leons faints and striking prowess. Once Colby got tagged he didn't want any of it. He needed to try and rush Leon and make it messy. He didn't and got out classed. Think he's done now. He has had his shots and it's just not meant to be. Colby sold the fight and that's what they brought him in to do.

Colby got everything handled to him like a rich kid and still couldn’t do anything 😂

3:49 I was really waiting for Dana to say that the person in charge of the seat arrangement would be in trouble, was not expecting Dana to admit to it 😂

Colby looked gassed out struggling to breath while leon looked like it was just some light sparring

FINALLY got MVP in the UFC!!!! 🔥

Dana acting like they try so hard to stop fighters saying disgusting shit on his platform lol follows it up with "Yeah, Well then PPV sales went up 25%"

That scuffle was best case scenario for dana, he knew what he was doing and he needed that to help sell the card.

Love that he promotes the contender series so much cuz it really is such a dramatic and entertaining faction of the sport. Guys with some stuff to lose puttin it on the line to become Conor mcgregors is super fun and lowkey anxiety driven entertainment

I think Colby not looking the same may not be the waiting time off. It could be due to Leon's striking prowess/leg kicks and Leon also has underrated grappling.

4 minutes in, and i like this version of Dana! He accepted he was wrong about Usman and Colby being the only two worthy of Champion. He didn't Immediately announce Leon's next opponent (like last time). And he admits he was silly for putting Stickland and Du Plesis near each other in the crowd. I may change my mind by the end though 😅😂

Colby 'cautious' Covington vs Dillon Danis next

They said Usman would dominate Leon, then they had the knees excuse. They said Colby's pressure and wrestling would be enough - he got rag dolled on the back foot. Let's see what they say about Belal

Rakhmanov is a phenomenon. Please retire Tony!

Shavkat has become what Chimaev was supposed to be

Josh Emmett & DDP v Strickland saved an otherwise underwhelming card.

5:20 Dana: Tony, he looks like he should retired. I would love to see him retire. End of career ladies and gentlemen.

Its not like Colby didn't try to put the pressure on Leon. But he immediatly starting hitting air and getting put in bad positions with Leon's superior footwork.

Shavkat is getting the shot over Belal

Thank you Tony for all the beautiful moments, but it’s time….. 💪🏾👏🏾💯

Dana: "I do not have anyone waiting in this sport." Tom Aspinall on the bench

I like how when Cejudo vs Sterling ended uncle Dana said that O'Malley was %100 next but with Belal he is like "I'm not even thinking about it" Plus interesting that he threw Chandler under the bus for waiting for Conor

Dana knew EXACTLY what he was doing places DDP directly behind Sean like that.. perfect shot for the cameras.. and the outcome is perfect promo. Risky due to injury but he knew.

Rip to all Colby betting tix

after Edwards vs Usman where colby was the backup: "Colby is 100% next, no discussion." Belal weighs in as a backup here: "Not even thinking about that right now." Belal is really about to get jumped again😭😭

Turns our the only person colby got to with his sheit talking was himself 😂

I think Shavkat vs Covington next and Belal vs Leon on the same card would be cool.

Dana put Du Plessis next to Strickland on purpose 😂

Let me say this to the UFC. I searched high and dry to find the event here in Spain. I had my credit card ready in my hand to buy the event but it was impossible. I'm sure there were 100s of thousands of others here who met the same obstacle. Get your shit together. Make it available to buy individual events directly from your website and you will increase your revenues.

I’m honestly just excited to where where Shavkat goes from here

Its time for Bryce to go to a real gym. Dude made it mad far just doing his own thing but its hurting him now. He needs to find a real MMA gym.

Dana’s honesty in this press conference is refreshing

unless I missed it Im surprised they didnt talk about the Aldana fight

What a great in the moment speaker Dana is!

Strickland Vs Du Plessis fight of the night lol

Dana: "I don't have anybody wait in this sport." Dana: "I think Stipe should wait for Jones that's the fight you make."

Props to Dana owning sitting Strickland v Du Plessis. Funny.

Reporters After every fight: “what’s next, who’s next” Dana white: “I’m not thinking about that, not until Tuesday until the team gets together”

Dana not asking reporters to constantly repeat questions is beautiful. Hire a new audio guy finally?

Please don’t put Belal in a title fight. Belal can fight Colby

They way dana said no about charles and costa i think gaethje is next for Islam and that's gonna be a good fight

Dana paraphrasing Sean: 'CHildren move out of the way so I can assault this gentleman." "Awesome" 🤣🤣

Dana: how did I seat Sean and ddp together!? 🥴…… 🤑

No questions on possibly FOTY in Aldana and Rosa?? Especially since Dana talked about his plans in Mexico next year. Great work by the media!!!😂😂😂

I always love to hear what Dana thinks after the fight

Leon played this fight smart. He had to keep his emotions check for his father comment.

I'm so glad MVP is finally in the UFC, I really want to see him and Izzy fight, it'd be like an Anime fight.

Mr 1776 looked like that's when he was born 😂

The undercard was pretty good but the main card turned out to be the drizzling shits. Sucks with the cards being so damn expensive.

There’s no way that was Dana that organised the seating. His whole demeanour says so. But like a good boss, shit rolls uphill, and he knows no one is going to fuck with him about it.

Wait, MVP vs Holland?! Yes. Yes Please.

Shafkat, number one! My congratulations on the winning🇰🇿🏆

Why aren't they asking about the Irene Aldana - Karol Rosa, banger-of-a-fight 🤔

Hey Dana question here from obviously a bad idea, why did you sit DDP and Strickland so close? And will you be using these images in the advertising? 😅

So Dana took the blame because he’s selling the fight! Them dudes were just being nice to each other and Dana must have pulled them aside and said guys let’s sell this PHUCKIN fight! Normally Dana would be super mad about stuff like that

I usually don't believe whatever colby said but I'd genuinely believed Trump would give the belt to him if he wins. He got me with that one.

Dana DISMISSED Belal again quickly 😅 He is boring but he does keep winning despite the Eyepoke Edwards fight but i had Edwards had that not happened but who knows

man, i feel sorry for belal muhammad. he really deserves a title shot, but some people are just born boring

What's up next for Colby, slap fighting or WWE?

It's funny how Dana is changing his tune after the fight. Before, he said Colby accepted every fight they offered him and it wasn't his fault that he had to take a two-year layoff. Now, he's blaming Colby's performance on him sitting out...

“This company doesn’t wait for anyone” Literally waited 2 years for Colby to come back just to get his a$$ whooped

I enjoyed 10 seconds of Strickland vs DDP more than 25 minutes of the main event.😆😆

Belal and Leon might do so poor on ppv numbers...I think itll be a co-main...or three belts and it'll be before the co-main... Leon has gotten better but still... money wise...very tough to do that fight...

Not sure how anyone found Colby’s performance surprising 😂 He literally has zero wins over any top 15 guy at 170 and Leon is in his prime

Geoff Neal is going to shut Ian’s lights off.

I don’t like how Dana touched on how despicable it is to talk on family. Had no problem when it was his poster boy McGregor doing it. Double standards

Love to see shavkat dominate the division.

I am tired of watching 15 pound disparities in fights. Do the normal weigh in, but add another weigh in outside the cage. Divisions would change drastically. Weight cuts deplete fighters anyway. The fights would be a lot better at walking around weight.

Any half DECENT PARENT wouldn't even have there child at a UFC event to begin with!!..it should be 15+ to even enter the venue

Greatest promoter of all time.

8:55 is probably a direct quote.

Leon broke at the presser colby broke at the glove touch

bro i knew colby is overrated and leon would win in deci sion

Prelims were by far better than the main card

Dana calling N3on a punk got me dying 😂😂

Dana's response to the Strickland thing was golden "this asshole" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dana is the true star of ufc

"Couldn't really get off 'cause of the speed." - Dana White

Wonder if Dan will Connor the old waiting speech

It happened again like 1812, red coats got the vicotry 💪🇬🇧

Really let down by the card Desean Strickland the 🏆

We told y'all Colby did not deserve the title shot

I absolutely love Dana being so dismissive of belal

Dana won't say Belal is next 😅

"If I wasn't an asshole, I wouldn't have let that slip." Come on man... y'all know y'all did that shit on purpose!! 🤣🤣🤣

You can feel how he's pissed off from Colby. I would be as well, if that's the man who's supposed to carry the show.

Wasnt expecting such a boring main event

Colby owes me 80 bucks. That sucked.

2:22 damn there goes belals shot
