Opinion: Dana White, Lookin' For The Wrong Fights

Dana White has always thrived on fights, and no, I'm not talking about the ones that happen inside the Octagon. Rather, White's career as Ultimate Fighting Championship president has been characterized by a series of personal battles not only against business competitors, but anyone who isn't fully amenable to serving the company's interests. Who can forget his infamous rants against other MMA and even boxing promoters, like his countless expletive-laden outbursts about Bob Arum over the past 15-plus years?
