Dana White is, admittedly, one of the people most responsible for the growth of the UFC in the last decade. Despite this, the manager's controversial style made him collect, in addition to commercial triumphs and the development of the largest MMA organization on the planet, enemies in the sport. The most recent of these was the TUF 1 veteran Josh koscheck. After leaving Ultimate and signing with rival Bellator, Koscheck made a point of blasting Dana and saying that he has been responsible for making the event systematically lose fans.

“That's my opinion. I think Dana White is just the 'foreman' of the Fertitta brothers. He's just a boss, a messenger, who is making the UFC lose fans every day because of the things he does. How can you respect a guy who runs a company and goes on Twitter and calls people the names he calls them? I think it's childish. He should be the president of a big company, a billion-dollar company, and how does he act?”, said Koscheck, in an interview with the “Bleacher Report” website.

Taking the opportunity to “get in touch” with his new boss, the former UFC title challenger compared Dana's attitudes to those of other managers, including the president of Bellator, Scott Coker. “You don’t see Roger Goodell (president of the NFL, American football league) do things like that. And you don't see Scott Coker going on Twitter and telling people they're stupid or fat. Or things like, 'We took those years away from you, thank you very much for your money.' Wait a second. This is embarrassing. I don’t want to work for a guy like that,” he snapped.

At 37, Josh koscheck has a professional record of 17 wins and ten losses. After five consecutive defeats, the last one to the Brazilian Erick silva in March of this year, Koscheck broke with Ultimate and, days later, signed with rival Bellator. There is still no official date for the debut of “Kos”, as he is known, in the new organization.
