Having 2 humans getting inside a cage and start beating each other on the face for the sake of money, pride and feeding the blood lust of the audience, is contrary to the beautiful teachings of Islam.
This just shows how much sand-niggers are anxious to get onboard the system of the anti-christ.
Isn’t Abu Dhabi where the mossad killed some palestinian leader recently ?.
Then may Allah (swt) give them more well-deserved humiliation before Mankind.

P.s regarding dana’s behaviour in front of the camera’s at ufc events and out in public and in business meetings being different well is that why he posted in internet vlog of himself calling a female journalist a dumb bitch,etc?!Dana isnt even popular with alof of ufc fighters and thats why he’s always falling out with them and more often than not its lorenzo who mends the broken relationships that dana creates!
one of the gracies who set the ufc up with flash entertainment as he’s the chief bbj instructor for the sheikh’s concerned.Go and look up the pictures of lorenzo and dana hunting with the sheikh and what you’ll notice is in the pictures with lorenzo he’s all smiling and looking like he’s having a good time but in the pics with dana he looks miserable or he doesnt enjoy dana’s company!If dana was running the ufc without the ferttita’s etc he would never of got these type of partnerships set up!
Lol but my opinion isnt wrong its accurate!Of course anyone who’s foul mouthed and full of themselves is going to be disliked in any country!Thats just stating the obvious really however the middle east and its culture and customs is alot different to the western world and loud mouthed people who swear all the time wont fit in well in that culture!Regarding dana being friends with one of the sheiks again that isnt true,yes he went hunting with him but he went hunting with lorenzo also and it was
But your opinion is wrong. Anyone who is foul mouthed and full of themselves is going to be disliked in any country not just the U.A.E. However Dana is friends with one of the Sheikh’s from the royal family and even went hunting with him. The way Dana behaves in front of the camera at UFC events, I doubt thats how he behaves in public, in business meetings or with his friends.
Fair dues you could be right on that although i still though Abu Dhabi was part of the UAE but i could be wrong so fair enough.The point im trying to make is as you know the rules in most if not all muslim countries are stricter than what we have in the western world and all i was trying to say is dana white’s natural demeanour wouldnt go down well in that part of the world and you can debate that fact with me till your blue in the face but i wont change my opinion on that.
Abu Dhabi is actually an emirate (state). Anyway, I am not naive, I have family over there. The U.A.E. is just a Muslim country and has the same laws as almost any other Middle Eastern country except more relaxed. They have rules & laws just like any other country and what you might find “strict” the Emeratis find them perfectly normal and acceptable and I doubt that the millions of people who go their every year do so to break their laws.
You are mis-understanding me. The UFC partnered up with the Abu Dhabi guys because they have LOTS of money AND know a little about the sport AND have contacts the UFC need. If i was in ZUFFA’s position, I would partner with them as well. And as far as a “donation” goes, the UFC is a fight organization & business, not a charity which needs donations and nor would any investor (other than probs warren buffet) would ever give them a donation to grow!
and that isnt the mian reason why people do business over there they do business over there because the middle east is an extreemly oil rich place and they like to splash the cash so to speak along with the fact there trying to make Abu Dhabi one of the leading cultural cities in the world.
company.Anyway as you know Abu Dhabi isnt a country its a city within the United arab emirates and to say it isnt a strict muslim country is naive!You can get severe punishments over there for minor discretions and i know that for a fact as ive got friends who have worked out there.Dana white’s loud mouth,swearing antics wont go down well in that country i can assure you!They like people to be respectful not swearing all the time like dana does.Regarding sharia law i do know what that is
I know no such investor exists thats what i was saying!You’re the one that was saying the UAE investors will be more caring and wanting to grow the sport,blah,blah,blah but in reality they’ll be wanting a return on their investment just like all investors do so it wont make a blind bit of difference if there from the UAE or wherever!If they really just wanted to grow the sport because they love it so much they just would of given a donation to Zuffa rather than buy a minority stake in the
@BoxingBadBoy77 For starters no such investor like you described exists. Everyone wants something for something in Business. Also, Abu Dhabi being a strict muslim country (which its not, its just a Muslim country) means nothing to the UFC or the partnership between them and Flash. The UAE operates its finance under strict Shariah Law which if you actually research it you will find out why so many people do business over there.
investor who will be willing to just constantly plough money into the ufc to help it grow or give the ufc all its best contacts for nothing these people are very business orientated and also i doubt very much that dana white’s loudmouth approach at times will go down well in a strict muslim country like that.
I agree with the principle of what your saying but at the end of the day the UAE goverment will be looking for a good return on its investment first and foremost and i doubt very much they will stay completely in the background like dana white wants from a minority investor.The UAE has investments all over the world i mean it owns numerous premiership soccer clubs over here in england,etc and these guys can be pretty ruthless at times so what im trying to say is there not a completely benign
Who would you rather partner up with? An investor who has lots of money, no interest in the sport and only wants to see a return on the investment OR a government backed company, who actually know and love the sport, want to see it grow and they also have a nice little book of contacts in countries where the UFC is looking to expand into anyway. I think I would go with the latter. This was a clever move by the UFC. Also the UK has had 2 title fights and I am sure we will get some more.
