Dana White, the president of UFC made a massive video rant on Kimbo Slice and his fight against Seth Petruzelli and EliteXC, guys who organized this fight. EliteXC are rivals of UFC so many are upset with Dana White’s rant and are calling on Gary Shaw (president of EliteXC) to sue his ass, but despite being a complete douchebag and moron most of the time, this time around I completely agree with Dana White and what he’s saying.

The rant was in response to Seth Petruzelli admitting that the EliteXC promoters offered him money, if he doesn’t take the fight to the ground. EliteXC wanted to keep the fight up, because they thought viewers would find it more exciting, in particular since Kimbo Slice is completely useless on the ground and would lose the fight.

However, Dana White says – Kimbo Slice sucks. He got knocked out in 14 seconds standing up. But the point Dana White is making is valid. What EliteXC did is illegal, and they ought to be investigated by the FBI. Many fans, casinos and betting agencies placed their bets on one of the fighters. By offering Seth Petruzelli the money, EliteXC tried to manipulate the result of the fight, virtually messing with other people’s investment.

Sports are dirty. Video of Dana White going off on EliteXC is below:
