Dana White is a master practitioner in verbal kung-fu. Calvin Ayre from Bodog tried to call out Dana White only to have his entire Bodog Fights shut down over night. Gary Shaw from EliteXC called Kimbo the ‘Tiger Woods of MMA’ and made rants against Dana White a daily routine. The guy’s organization went under as well as the entire parent company, ProElite (although it was recently bought out by some company who plans to revive it. Good luck with that). And we all remember Tom Atencio who set his MMA beef coordinates directly at Dana White. Former friends turned foes…organization goes under, and foes once again turned to friends. Sounds like something off of Gossip Girl. If Dana White was an honorary member of the X-men, his mutant power would be the ability to completely demolish your self-esteem within seconds. Scott Coker hasn’t necessarily ‘called out’ Dana White, but that doesn’t prevent White from throwing verbal jabs at Strikeforce whenever there’s a microphone in front of him. Check out this Ariel Helwani interview with Dana White in which he spends a little time talking about UFC 123, and the remainder blasting Strikeforce. Ouch. If you listen really close, you can hear Dana White’s words roundhouse kicking the Strikeforce headquarters in San Jose, CA. [Source]
