Is the media ignorant or intentionally misrepresenting facts about UFC?
ESPN’ s E:60 video profile of Dana White, which aired last Tuesday, was being heralded by ESPN PR staffers as being one of the most controversial media segments ever done on UFC President Dana White. For weeks, we had been led to believe (including Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter) that we were going to see a confrontation between interviewer Tom Farrey and Dana White at UFC 97 in Montreal. PR staffers gave MMA sites a week’ s notice in advance of what was coming up on the show and, in the end, the E:60 segment was nothing more than the typical boilerplate mainstream media piece that you’ ve seen done on UFC in the past.
