Dana White Lashes Out On Bellator Champion Ben Askren

[No More Sorrow]

UFC President Dana White recently detailed the difficulty of testing for PEDs in a worldwide league with a frequently rotating group of 375 fighters.


"The general public and the media need to grasp some f------- concept of reality," said White, using a lot of f-bombs, even for him. "The reality of us doing all the f------ things that we're doing when we already have the gold standard in drug testing, and then f------ try to chase 375 guys all over the world to randomly test them, too? It's impossible. You look at all the other organizations, … you look at all the other companies that have tried to do what we do, nobody can f------- do it. You know why? Because this job is insane."


The recent difficulty of testing Alistair Overeem alone serves to illustrate the point, but current Bellator welterweight champion Ben Askren, no stranger to controversy himself, took issue with White's characterisation, via twitter.


@Benaskren
The USOC random tests Olympic athletes in all sports. Dana saying testing his fighters would be impossible is a bold faced lie.


The remarks were brought to White's attention who for once did not hold his feelings back, but simply tweeted his mind.

@Benaskren says @danawhite is a bold face liar for saying the #UFC doesn't have the resources for random drug tests


@danawhite
@thefightweek @benaskren when ambien can't sleep it takes Ben Askren. The most boring fighter in MMA history. I would rather watch flys f---

:dana:

The man calls GSP the greatest fighter on the planet and has the nerve to call someone boring?

Dana is such a douche.

It is a bit weak from Dana to say that they can't test all the guys. They can team up with one of the many organisations out there that do drug testing and organise it with them to test all their fighters randomly. In the sport they are in they have to keep up with drug testing and ensure that everyone is clean because drugs are a blight on the sport

Dana is such a douche.

Last time I checked GSP actually throws punches and kicks and tries to finish fights. Ever watch an Askren fight? Old school Mark Coleman had nothing on this guy.

Dana is a douche, but a succesful one.

Plus, he's always said Anderson Silva is the best P4P, not GSP.
