Dana White speaks and a whole lot of people listened

Dana White, the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, will never be accused of being politically correct.

In fact, he's a guy that could make sensitivity trainers curl up in the fetal position, cry and suck their thumbs with how politically incorrect he can be.

But he went way over the line when criticizing a story on Sherdog.com's by Loretta Hunt.

Hunt penned an article talking about managers and agents being restricted in their backstage access at UFC events.

Managers and agents, all speaking on the condition of anonymity, were accusing Zuffa LLC. (the UFC's parent company) of trying to divide fighters and their representation.

White responded to the article by dropping more F-Bombs than the most hardcore hip hop song and calling Hunt out by name, referring to the mysterious people quoted in her story as a piece of the female anatomy, saying things that got GLAAD up in arms and in general sticking not just his foot but his whole leg in his mouth.

Everyone should be entitled to their opinion and have a right to express it.

But White took it a little too far. While he did raise some valid points in his rant they were lost among the myriad of F-bombs and insults he threw at Hunt.

The video of the rant has been taken of the UFC youtube page, but it's still out there somewhere.

White has since apologized in his latest youtube blog.

He stated that he doesn't attack people unless he feels he's been attacked. That's fair.

But in my opinion, for whatever that's worth, he went from counter attack to dropping a bomb on Hiroshima again.

Don't think White is going to lose his job over this one.

Six months from now, the only way it gets brought up in a conversation is if another article on an MMA newsite gets under White's skin enough to cause another explosion.

Until Next Time
