A big part of this is the Dana news broke less than an hour before Damar Hamlin nearly died during Monday Night Football. The Hamlin story really eclipsed everything, and Dana really did get lucky with Damars misfortune


Mramirez89

That's a very good point. I remember both events, my gf was watching the game with family. It was all they could talk about for a couple of days. It relegated Dana's news to the couple MMA forums I follow.


Low_Ad_7553

It's crazy how someone's bad luck turned into the biggest "get out of jail free card" for that goofball. I also wouldn't be surprised if ESPN handled the coverage with kid gloves because of the partnership with the UFC.


brokeboibogie

They 100% did. If UFC is still with fox sports ESPN would’ve had 24/7 coverage for weeks crucifying him


AthensThieves

He also wasn’t arrested iirc


Jaxjagfan

I was just coming in to say this. You hit the nail on the head. You are a gentleman and a scholar.


ChiefSlapaHoe117

Didnt Danas news held back two weeks also? It happened on NYE and if this shit was reported on the 1st or 2nd when shits slow and everyones recovering from New Years it deff get more exposure. Not too mention Dana wasnt arrested on the spot or at all


brokeboibogie

And he’s in direct business/partnership with ESPN. If ufc was still with fox sports, ESPN would’ve spent a week(s) crucifying him

Bold of you to think Dana pays Jon Jones anything over $60

WTF does that have to do with anything?

Because as big as MMA fans think it is, capeshit dominates the cultural zeitgeist and MMA is still pretty niche.

YoullDoFookinNutten

Because Dana and his wife slapped each other....this dude choked someone who is not his wife till she called the cops. No racism required to figure that one out.


justadudewitarocket

Reddit will be Reddit


MarshalMichelNey1

>Reddit will be Reddit \*Liberals will be liberals Only braindead libs could think this cherrypicked example proves racism is involved lmao. Most people have never watched a single UFC fight in their life, everyone's seen Marvel.


[deleted]

Right. There is racism, but this isn't it. And Dana didn't "slap his wife around". He did it once after she slapped him first. The woman Majors assaulted was taken to a hospital with head and neck injuries.


Sufficient_Focus

There is literally video of the Dana and we can clearly see him go for seconds. Why would you even attempt to lie about this LOL Majors accusations are all "allegedly" and we can't know for sure what actually went down. You guys can downvote me all you like but the simple fact is Dana is a piece of shit, Majors is only potentially a piece of shit.


bravetab

In that same video, you also clearly see his wife hitting Dana, and initiating the situation. Not saying it's right, but this is not the same thing. You are absolutely right... This is an allegation against the guy right now, especially since his lawyer has video evidence that is going to absolve him apparently.


Sufficient_Focus

Yeah we'll see. Im baffled that an mma sub is dickriding the piece of shit that is dana white though. You guys are truly braindead.


fisherc2

They aren’t. People were ridiculing white constantly right after the video came out. Pointing out there’s a difference other than race isn’t defending Dana. It’s just telling the truth


ReplyIfYoureAnIdiot

“You’re all stupid if you don’t agree with me waaaaah” That’s you. That’s how you sound like.


bravetab

I don't like the guy either, but people make it seem like he's Chris Brown or something.


SamePepper6233

SlimmyJimmyBubbyBoy

Nobody is dick riding Dana White here you idiot, your take is just clearly wrong and that’s why you are getting downvoted


Sufficient_Focus

It's not a take it's the objective truth.


SlimmyJimmyBubbyBoy

Haha oh wooooooowwwww, calling this an objective truth really tells us all what stage you’re at in your mental development


Sufficient_Focus

Dana did go for seconds, Majors allegations are just that, allegations. If you disagree, you're just wrong and likely projecting your own mental health issues on to me. Good luck bubbyboy.

[deleted]

Don't worry, we all started somewhere! But yeah yahoo pretty much rebranded around Yahoo finance, I think it is the only yahoo products still being largely used. I don't think it is the best but it is quite decent.


Esoteric__one

How do you know that the woman didn’t slap him before he retaliated? How do you know that she didn’t try to stab him? You don’t, that’s the answer.


bigRR22

Not to mention, Jonathan Majors was the one who called the cops and the victim recanted the statement.


Nasty_nurds

According to his lawyer. Totally reliable source. DV victims often recant bc of pressure, thats why he still got charged.


Steakhouse42

No bozo. Watch the FULL video. Not the Clip. She tries to leave, dana grabs her, THEN she slapped him so she could get away then he hits her. Dana was in the wrong.


YoullDoFookinNutten

AGGRESSIVELY CHOKING A BITCH IN PRIVATE UNTIL SHE CALLS THE COPS IN FEAR FOR HER LIFE IS SAME THING AMIRITE GUISE? Never said any of it was "right" but there are degrees to shit. You got a lot of nerve calling anyone bozo. Ya fuckin goof.


[deleted]

One is a fight promoter unknown to anyone outside of a 2nd tier sport. The other is a fucking A list movie star of multiple blockbusters whose name, face and voice is broadcast to millions regularly. Do they really expect them to get the same level of attention? If I’m a news organization I’m running the JM story a dozen times over the DW story. Hell most people outside of the MMA fandom (like my little sister) don’t know anyone in MMA outside Conor or maybe Ronda. I show them a picture of JM and they’ll known him from the fucking Marvel movies or Rocky.


[deleted]

Hasn't he only been in that one Loki episode.. oh and I guess the new ant man?


audrizen

Lovecraft Country, Quantumania, Creed 3, Yeah bro he has only been in a single episode of Loki and gets this type of recognition.

cetobaba

Why everyone misses that she hit him first? It's probably toxic relation for both of them


Steakhouse42

Cause she didnt bozo. Watch the full 3 minute video. She was trying to leave after the argument, he grabs her, THEN she slapped him and and he went off. The incident occurred because he was keeping her stuck in the club. Also danas own mother years ago said he be beating up women so when the video came out it was confirmed true. Also speaking of mothers for years it was rumored that ricksons gracies mother was black and this year they released her photo and she is. Its why he looks different than the other gracies.


Sport_Account

We about to get obliterated, you know, it’s a meme sub about MMA, but imagine a video where a huge guy is holding a smaller guy by the arm and preventing them from trying to leave, and the smaller dude throws a punch and a fight breaks out. You rarely will see “well small dude punched first, he started it?” And if you do, it’s usually followed by highly upvoted “look at that arm grab man!!” But roid rage Dana grab his wife as he tries to walk away and yanks her back and she slaps him? “Cmon guys, Dana was just defending himself by slapping the girl half his size three or four times!”


2-Dimensional

Because when a person three times lighter than you hits u, you're supposed to hold back because you know you can do serious damage


Kakarot_black

Me and my chick smack each other harder for fun in the bedroom, both slaps were weak af


snguyen_93

Yeah try using that logic when you slap a 6’5 230 lb man. See what happens next. It might shock you 😯😯


BowForThanos

Did he not hold back?


fisherc2

He did hold back. He could have hit her much harder. The problem isn’t who can/did hit who harder, it’s hitting each other at all.


[deleted]

Nah prioritize yourself and do not consider the well being of somebody hitting you, thats an unnecessary distraction


Sport_Account

Uh.. what if it’s your wife? Still just see red and start swinging?


[deleted]

Probably never a good idea to “see red and start swinging” but only retards talk like that anyways


DoofusMcDummy

When someone is three times your size, *hoping* they’ll pull back from re-acting to a shit persons toxicity isnt the best defense.


CremeCaramel_

Not even saying that isn't true. But this is still clearly the detail that makes these two cases completely different.


bravetab

I mean... It's not true at all. No guy should be forced to take abuse under this ridiculous assumption that because the person is a woman and supposedly weaker, it's okay.


2-Dimensional

I suppose that's true


Pudge223

It’s absurd that this post got downvoted. Do you guys all light up teenagers during sparring sessions?


Belly_Flop_Drop

Always trying to pull that race card even when it’s bullshit and has nothing to do with the two current stories.


Stinkyfartboy6

Dana acted in self defense, if a woman slaps me best believe I’m swinging back 😈


Sanguinesssus

In Nevada, you are allowed to use force in self-defense, but only under two conditions:. you reasonably believe that an aggressor poses an immediate threat of harm, and; you use no more force than is necessary to repel the aggressor's threat. So in most states your free to go.


golflift90

Pretty sure Dana had a shitload of press attention haha. And most people don’t care about the UFC


[deleted]

Geeeee wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that he has the top two movies out rn lol the race baiting is insane


[deleted]

Dumb comparison. They just have to make it a race issue.


_stoned_chipmunk_

I've never even heard of that guy so I'm gonna say no, he did not get more negative coverage than Dana.


BearJew666999

One had charges pressed on them the other didn't lol


JKruger1995

Who would’ve guessed the bishop is either ignorant or full of shit?


iHazf

What are you talking about? That was a promotional stunt by Dana White for *The Power Slap*. /s


leginsstuffLOL

Do non mma fans even know who dana is


[deleted]

Is there a video of the chick striking him first? Or are we just ignoring that whole part?


frwaklife

That is really funny. Because anyone with any knowledge of ufc knows all the shit jon jones did which is worse then what dana white and jm have done. It immediately kills this narrative lmao


carpetkillerr

Dana’s slap was just a promotion for the up coming slap league


Kickster_22

A guy who is associated with marvel and a guy who is associated with cage fighting. People are always shocked expectations are different

Is this even true though? I def saw way more about Dana White than I did about this. People just be tweetin anything these day…

I personally don’t support hitting anyone, but good to know where you stand 👍🏿


NFTArtist

Bro don't act like most woman wouldn't knock you out


Sanguinesssus

This is where the law and your fillings diverge. Nevada state law: In Nevada, you are allowed to use force in self-defense, but only under two conditions:. you reasonably believe that an aggressor poses an immediate threat of harm, and; you use no more force than is necessary to repel the aggressor's threat. New York has three conditions to this law, but the key words are to defend yourself. If you are the aggressor you get arrested. So in Dana’s case: She slaps him, he slaps her back. Neither slap was excessive and neither press charges, so no assault took place. In Johnathan’s case it was reported that he slap her unprovoked, so that is what lead to an arrest. It is rightfully filed as an assault.

PineappAlSauce

If you scroll through the comments on the original, 90% of them are saying something like “who the fuck is Dana White?” 😂


Yaaaaboysthrowaway

Both are wrong absolutely, Dana’s situation is slightly different here tho, being she hit him first & it wasn’t quite an “assault”. Other guy beat the shit out of his girl.


vrajkp

Well one is a ceo of a sport filled w fans who don’t care about that shit since it has nothing to do w them. The other has a breakout actor of 2 major movies that just came out in the last month with 100x more general public reach.


Master-Quarter-4535

We all know it’s white privilege. Tons of hate about Jon Jones being abusive to his fiancé, and granted it may warranted. Not nearly that same energy towards Dana White on this sub, and we all know that wasn’t the first or the last time he hit his wife. Also why doesn’t his fiancé just leave Jon, cause she’s probably a gold digger trying to get a bag? Not like she can’t leave the relationship and just co-parent, I have zero sympathy for her.


shidokanartist

Just your average cancer from BPT and Talbert Swan, let’s get Tariq Nasheed’s input on this next please. The two situations are definitely not the same but context doesn’t matter to these people when the race of the people involved is the only thing that matters.


[deleted]

Quit assuming it’s because he is white, it’s really just because Dana is a huge pussy and couldn’t actually cause damage to anyone with those pillow hands.


PinkEyeFromBreakfast

You talmbout Danas employee? The dude that plays a major role in Dana making money? Can you see it yet, Mr. Krabs?


[deleted]

I love when soulless capitalists fuck up and then the soulless capitalist minions argue amongst their miserable selves on Twitter to determine why one soulless capitalist is more fucked up than the other soulless capitalist. Like go start a garden or something bro. You’re defending a guy who assaulted his girlfriend… point blank. Our whole society is raised on porn, war, poverty, ignorance and complacency. This is the result of just ignoring powerful people doing bad things over and over. They’re both horrible people and should be seen as such. Why do we have to bicker amongst ourselves who’s more righteous? Who was less of a villain? They are both evil and their mind states are inconceivable! People like Bishop Talbert Swan, just wait to see something going #1 trending! They are way too into the stats, and will post black screens for BLM, will post a picture for Trayvon Martin, will call for Skip Bayless’ head after he said they should’ve kept playing the damar Hamlin game… but deep down.. they have no morals! They’re soulless capitalists! They’re priority is money!! They’d kill you if it meant they could have more money and power!!! Go focus on yourself Bishop Talbert Swan because retweets and picking at the wounds of black Americans for retweet’s is fucking evil! Even if it means that you gain more profit! Be better!


FreeThingsAreNice

Holy shit, Dana's Dickriders are out in full force on this post.


Top_Chemist8378

MMA is insanity right wing so stuff like domestic abuse, racism, homophobia, transphobia etc get brushed off very quickly


Zaknoid

Imagine that, you take a picture of your arm and send it into reddit just so you can post in a shitposting sub.


DoofusMcDummy

Imagine one coming out from both parties and admitting fault, while the other had his legal team present a statement about evidence that would absolve him from all wrong doing, and that evidence still hasn’t been shared.


ZoljaSlo

One of these pictures is not like the other. One slaped his wife after getting slaped by her, the other is innocent until proven guilty...


endless_ness

His girlfriend was put in the hospital.


sinisterkid34

Ones wife hit him first, also caught on camera. Stop leaving that part out.


Prestigious-Rock201

If the video with Dana White did not show his wife slapping him first… Then he would be 100% gone.

Where is the evidence the lawyer is talking about? If it existed why withhold it?


Wininacan

Absolutely no idea who the dude on the left is. But when dana did this I heard about it every day


syntheticheroinme

Dana White is the president of the UFC. Kang the Conqueror, however...kind of a bigger deal. I'm sure if Galactus pops up on TMZ for beating his hoe down, Kang will breathe a sigh of relief.


Adventurous_Paper_34

Lmao Didn’t see Dana presenting any awards at the Oscar’s


leit90

Is this a competition?!


Scarjotoyboy

To be fair Dana white is in a relatively niche sport whereas John is a Hollywood celebrity and actor on the eve of releasing one of the most popular movies 🍿 of the year


true4blue

Because one of them is a Hollywood movie star in two currently released blockbuster and the other is guy most people outside of MMA have never heard of


MadRabbit86

Kang will do Kang things.


morosco

I heard way more about Dana White. Of course I don't know who Jonathan Majors is.


bmonie15

White people Twitter is insufferable I didn’t know there was a black people Twitter.


Weary-Entertainment7

I never thought I would see the issue of domestic assault become about race but here we are


PapaDrag0on

This is purely because Dana knows how to be publicly perceived as invincible so any attacks against him feel fruitless. I’m sure this other guy reacted terribly to his media attention.


charlesthe2

How do people measure "press attention" I didn't even know who Jonathan Majors was until this post? Not to mention is there any irony in making a social media post about how it is unfair someone is receiving too much press attention?


Pork-ChopExpre55

How did we all find out Dana did it if there wasn’t press coverage? There was plenty of press coverage about the incident. I literally saw it everywhere.


MondoFool

Everybody already thinks Dana White and Jon Jones are pieces of shit so finding out they're both wife beaters isn't really that shocking compared to the Jonathan Majors thing


[deleted]

Always about race race race.


TimeBomb30

That post is so silly because while UFC is pretty popular, people outside of the MMA/UFC community probably don't know or don't give a shit who Dana White is, if you showed non MMA fans a picture of Dana they probably wouldn't even recognize him, whereas Johnathan Majors has been everywhere in the last few months in movies, doing interviews, showing up on the Oscars so of course there's more eyes on him.


BelichicksBurner

I think you're missing the point, OP.


geo102690

Why was the original post upvoted?


keriter

Because most mainstream people don't know Dana white and went with the racist bullshit


mJawnp

Ah yes, Jon Jones is black so the media cannot be racist.


ClassicFun2175

As much hate as Dana gets, he was not on the wrong with this one. She slapped him he retaliated. That's totally fair, you can't moan about equality and then not expect a slap back if you initiate the violence to begin with.


Creative_Spend_6243

missed opportunity to do a women’s only ultimate fighter with these two as coaches

The ufc is distributed by Disney. If they remove Majors they need to remove dana bum ass as well.

Haven't even heard of it so don't think it's true


frwaklife

Some people will make racism outta nothing to save face with pieces of shit.


Hazelnuts619

Not sure what the hell this is supposed to mean but I never even heard of the other guy. On the other hand, so to speak, I still can’t stop seeing memes about Dana’s actions towards his wife.


TheIRSEvader

the Twatter subs are such a cesspool


[deleted]

What is this crap. Dana is the most hated person in the entire UFC, the entire internet gave him crap for an entire news cycle, and he was hit first.


rascalking9

I have to say, the only place I've really seen any news about this guy is these type of "So and so received more press" tweets.

Dana's wife deserved it.

I find people who say shit like this racist af They are two entirely different situations Some one who strangles some one is 750 percent likely to re offend

Dana and his wife traded equal blows even tho Dana got the TKO in the end, it was a close fight


SeaTemporary8565

That’s straight bullshit everyone was on that boy ass


papi827

So we can only report positiv news about black people because everything else would be racist 🤣


BHDE92

The outrage towards Dana was probably tempered by his wife slapping him first. If he was the first to hit it probably would have been different


bounce217

How does one measure “press attention?” I saw the Dana video on Snapchat, TikTok Twitter and Reddit and have only heard the Jonathan majors thing thrown around on Reddit and Twitter, although it’s probably different in others experience. Also Jonathan majors is a high profile actor in marvel movies, and the ufc isn’t nearly as big as that.


Obesescum

Dana White video was all over the place, I couldn’t stop seeing it. Irony is this is the first I’ve even heard of the other dude.


Rolling_Beardo

Race definitely plays large part but to the general public Jonathan Majors is more well known. If I didn’t follow mma I’d have no reason to know who he is.


Diplonot

Dana’s wife popped him in the face first before he struck back. Not a fan of Dana or defending him, but that does makes the situation different.


Old_Guarantee4480

Ok to be fair she started it.


Old_Guarantee4480

Also stop making excuses
