UFC Chief, Dana White, Backs Off Threat To Ban Fighters, Still Loathes EA

03:17 PM - March 30, 2010 by Pared

Kotaku has the scoop.

Quote:


	"White revealed that he is backing off his earlier threats to ban any fighter who appears in EA's game to be a part of UFC. "Nah, some people have crossed over," he told Kotaku, "But believe me this is still going to continue to be a battle. ...they're the me-toos. The UFC game is the original game."

I don't always like what White says but sometimes he says things that are spot on. Calling EA the "me-toos" is exact.

I just think him making things so personal is unprofessional. EA is a business who felt that a MMA game wasn't worth it before, and now they feel differently. That happens all the time in business.

Maybe it was even his personality that turned them off.

Dana isn't for everybody, but nobody can deny how much he's done for the sport. I find comments like this hilarious. It's just Dana being Dana.

No doubt. Big Country is great. Love him or hate him, he's a character.
