|  Greg Jackson Responds To Dana White's Recent Criticism
Quote:
Greg Jackson has finally responded to recent criticism from UFC President Dana White regarding his camp's tendency to fight cautious and fightong to win instead of fighting to entertain the fans.
Following Nate Marquardt's loss to Yushin Okami, White came down on the Jackson Camp and now Jackson has taken offense to the remarks and has gone on the defensive:
"Here's a quick stat for you. So there's been 22 [UFC events] this year? We had 12 bonuses so far this year. So one out of every two, one of my fighters got 'Submission of the Night,' 'Knockout of the Night,' or 'Fight of the Night.' [Dana] wants to say there's a consistency? Okay, let's look at statistical consistencies. Let's look at Jon Jones, who has finished every fight with me in the first round, except for that Matt Hamill one, which would have been a first-round stoppage anyway if he hadn't thrown that illegal elbow. Let's look at Carlos Condit, who had Fight of the Night and Knockout of the Night. Even people on the undercard who people don't really know yet. Kyle Noke, two finishes, both in the second round. Almost everybody on our team finishes consistently. It didn't bug me until Dana said it. Fans are fans, but Dana said that and, you know, I've worked really hard in his organization. If you look at my stats, they're insane. Imagine you give your life to something and then your boss comes up and says, 'Man, you suck.'"

The smaller name guys finish, but those aren't the guys Dana was talking about. He's talking about Rashad and Nate most likely because the two number one contender fights, and they didn't go to finish. Why would Jackson bring up bonuses? Stevenson got manhandled against Sotiropolis. I think GSP said maybe 5% of his training camp takes place in Albuquerque. Akiyama came there for one fight, and he always has had that aggressive style. I won't comment on all, but the statistics are biased, and don't tell those whole story of each fight

I wish Dana, that rich bastard wouldn't get so personal with the fighters. He is nothing more than a white Don King with even less class.

Dear GJ,
Your fighters all suck. DW knows how much they suck because the fans told him. He always does what the fans want because is such a great businessman so you'd better tell your fighters to buck up or they'll be GONE!. They'd rather collect a win bonus ranging up to 100's of thousands of dollars instead of pleasing the amazing fans that have no respect for their skill. That is unprofessional! Tell your fighters to finish every fight in the first round or lose trying. Martial arts is only about knocking the other guy out or breaking his bones.
Sincerely,
Concerned Fan.

Way to call out a camp that currently has some of the best fighters and the biggest money makers in the UFC.

I usually like hearing what dana has to say, but this was fucking stupid, Jackson has one of the most dominant camps in mma...Sometimes i wonder if he thinks before he speaks?
