Old Footages Emerges of Dana White arguing with Ariel Helwani on P4P Ranking,Chael on Conor McGregor

[Music] flip this way please I hope you stop this gu ready please stop this please start this way Mick's praying for the fight to start this way uh it looks like it might all right I'm going to keep you guys in on this one what the is going on here you know what time it is it's a contender series pause due to poor connection all right good let's go you first you first hands first ladies and gentlemen it is Tuesday best day of the week for 10 weeks at least I don't know this guy from a crumb of red right right I I didn't know who he was when I met him I got hip afterward that he's like insanely racist and homophobic and just not my type of guy so I would have never even wanted to shake hands with him in the first place but he also is just a representative of every person who's too scared to just be themselves cuz if you're comfortable as yourself you don't care who anybody else is and how they are he's so dumb that I'm going to tell him right now you should not keep saying stuff because it just makes me look better but you're going to keep saying stuff so I know that you'll react and say more things but you're you just shouldn't as as a person who's just giving you big bro advice learn this shut the up and don't don't speak on me anymore and live your life but you won't and I'm going to continue laughing at you because you're aing idiot I've been praying to M guys that I run into DC uh I I'm the type of person man I'm I'm a fan of Daniel Cormier and all the things that he done in his MMA career you know for me the things that I'm trying to do I feel like DC could have helped me with trying to go where I'm trying to go instead of trying to diminish me or break me down right because he knew where I was coming from but regardless he went to go he went to a different direction and took it so that was his choice and I'm talking about DC yesterday and I don't really like to do this because I feel like it I shouldn't have to do this but yesterday uh waim Buckley was speaking to Damon Martin about our interaction on social media how he wishes to run into me one day we're gonna see each other at the insult makes it it is what it is and we can talk like men that's how I do it that's how I do it all these type of situations whenever people start coming at me in this way the end of the day I am who I am I'm Daniel Cormier and I'm G be who I'mma Be Right so it's a matter of how does the interaction start because online has been very disrespectful now it seems to be kind of peeling it back a little bit and I believe that's the right decision because like I said it is what it is I am who I am I'm going be who I'm going be so let's try to you know keep it the right way especially being that he has a fight that weekend I'm not trying to do nothing to this man when he on the verge of one of the biggest fights of his career uh I don't get though that I'm my job is not to uplift you my job is to tell the truth and I just did not agree with what you said in that call out it was bad it was really bad now I can see how someone can be uh let down but again that is not my job that's not my obligation my job is to call it like it is and I wasn't the only one that said it many many people were in agree and that it just was not good but that's okay people make mistakes we all have bad bad one just we all have bad ones we all have unfortunately yours was at the biggest woman of your career but again I'll be in Salt Lake City we haven't able to see each other I'll be there right then we can have that conversation that if you want to have bucket Conor couldn't go five rounds back when he could train all of the time how are you possibly going to go five rounds you have the most undisciplined guy in the sport taking on maybe the most disciplined guy in the sport how could you possibly breathe for five rounds I'm not putting Conor down in this spot I'm saying this is what he's up against I will walk out there and try anyway cuz if I land that left hand I'm never going to have to to those Championship rounds when I watched him hit the heavy bag I've got to tell you he moves in a beautiful fashion I noticed that he had an emphasis on elbows and the power he has from that as opposed to leg kicks I haven't seen a huge emphasis on the leg kick which I think we could all understand but it is the biggest question of the fight the question is not can he beat Michael Chandler what difference does it make he didn't beat the last guy what difference does it make they're not even fighting a weight class the whole question on this fight is can Conor is he special enough is he driven in disciplin and hungry enough to return after such a catastrophic injury that is the story of this fight good morning it is 10:30 on a Saturday I just woke up it feels so good to sleep in and I needed it and the most important thing you can do as an athlete is sleep a lot of influencers and online gurus talk about like you got to wake up at 5:00 a.m. this is the ultimate hack blah blah blah you got to be productive you got to do this you got to do that and I think that yeah it depends on your goal right what is the point of being prod productive if you don't have peace and when I mean peace I mean inner peace like do I feel good when I'm productive do I feel good when I wake up at 5:00 a.m. do I feel good when I like do the cold plunge get in the Hyperbaric meditate make a delicious nutritious new breakfast for my kids pray do I feel good yes but what is the point of my productivity if I don't have Inner Peace So are there days when I need to sleep until 10:30 I'm mentally fatigued I'm 6 weeks out from a fight absolutely and is that just as important as waking up at 5:00 a.m. absolutely I think it's about balance and I think it's about the intent and the mindset okay if I wake up at 5:00 a.m. is it because I want to wake up at 5:00 a.m. and do the cold plunge and sit outside and listen to the birds or am I waking up at 5:00 a.m. because I think if I don't wake up at 5:00 a.m. I'm a failure so it's the intent it's the like what is your mindset what is your heart are you listening to your body are you listening to Inner wisdom okay that's my take and I'm sticking to it yeah me how do you how how do you who who's better than Jon Jones who who's pound-for-pound better than no okay joh at what point does activity come into play right I mean we all agree there is nobody better than Jon Jones he's the greatest of all time there's no question about it but at some point when you're looking at rankings they do have to represent what's happening in the organization at that moment right at that time and in the past three years he's had one fight and you thought he lost to uh uh Reyes huh and when he fought Reyes you said you thought Reyes won the fight he didn't win the fight Jon Jones did but you said you thought he won the who gives it I'm not the judges the guy didn't win the he didn't lose the fight and and the one loss that he has is from a referee that should have never been a referee in a million years he's never lost we were just talking tonight these kids that come in here that are undefeated you know how hard it is to stay undefeated Jon Jones went through murderer row when you talk about activity um and he's fought one time but Jon Jones was supposed to fight if Jon Jones was sitting on the couch and saying yeah I don't know when I'm going to fight again then he's definitely not the pound-for-pound discussion right now he was he was scheduled the fight and he got injured he is an active fighter he is absolutely an active fighter and and and when you talk about pound-for-pound and I don't want to sit on any of my other guys but who who is it right now Islam Islam many people believe lost to the guy who's a weight class below him is that how pound-for-pound Works many people including people in this room he got the win it doesn't matter what we you're absolutely right but he fought a weight class down he fought a weight class down J Jones fought a weight class up and let me tell you what when all the guys were in there you had the Jon Jones the Anderson silvas and the George St Pier I know who wanted to fight who and who didn't want to fight who and Jon Jones has always been willing to fight everybody it's it's it'sing silly and I I don't know what this game is with everybody but Jon Jones is the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world until this guy and he has been haed he hasn't fought what you say 18 months since the serial gone fight 18 months and then one in four four years so 18 months he moved up and he fought s Gan and destroyed him in a weight class above him who was the number one guy in the world and in the UFC then um we book another fight he's training for the fight blows his shoulder out which means he's still active get surgery recovering and and is scheduled to fight in November he is an active fighter meanwhile he has to fought anybody he's never lost he's never lost in his career since he's come back since the pride days listen if he was still fighting the Cali fights from The Pride days I wouldn't argue with you one bit right he is so far from being the the best huh would you put him top five he hasn't fought anybody the thing that you have to understand is if you take a guy like Anderson Silva George S Pierre BJ Penn um uh uh any of the guys that are in top tier in the heavyweight they're fighting the best fighters in the world three times a year that's why I think GSP he's been tested with fish you just said well Anderson Silver was hurt he's been out GSP was just hurting out for a while to yeah but this guy hasn't lost he just broke the record for most wins in the UFC for most title defenses he's got he's moving up and down in two different weight classes do you think George St Pierre could go up to 8 I don't even want St Pierre to go to 85 why not cuz he's a huge star and I don't want to see him go to 85 he's doing just fine at 170 Anderson Silva I believe he can go to 85 and could compete at heavyweight too he's that fast that talented and that he is pound-for-pound best fighter in the world boxing peanuckle any other F cour out there he's the best I don't know how anybody can debate that it's crazy to me the GSP and anybody to put Fedor in the number one pound-for-pound in the world spot it just makes no sense to me do nothing to do with the politics of him not being in the UFC or whatnot I think but how can you give him the respect when he hasn't fought the guys I mean these guys are fighting three times a year the best fighters in the world but you're going to give him the respect I makes no sense I think it does absolutely makes no sense because also I don't consider like middle middle right now like yes Silva went up to fight James irin the forest Griffin thing was one of the most amazing you know spectacles I've ever seen we have it in slow motion where he slipss his right hand goes away from the hook and then throws who the does that but I don't think nobody does that I mean it's 1 a 1 b 1 C I'm not saying there's a huge discrepancy in the guys but I just look at these little factors there's no doubt George St Pierre is the number two pound-for-pound fighter in the world I think Anderson Sil is number one I'm just going crazy on you cuz you got Vador number one and you got Anderson Silva number three that's crazy's over ex user afeld MMA tweeted with Dana White's pound-for-pound rankings being a Hot Topic it's interesting to look back at his 2010 debate with Ariel helwani Dana's reasons for ranking Anderson Silva as number one included Silva's activity against top competition his success at 185 his success at 205 and potential success at heavyweight in a separate interview at UFC 116 just weeks after that debate Dana reiterated that the best fighters in the world are the ones who fight the best three times a [Music] year okay so where did you grow up uh I grew up uh on the South Side uh went to Bogan High School uh Stevenson Elementary School so near uh what neighborhood uh near uh oaklan okay yeah very good okay very good that's that's so awesome is that how you got involved in you is it not UFC fighting it's mostly just street fighting or martial arts mixed martial arts there you go is that how we need to put women back in the kitchen we need to take only one man needs to be working
