You must love yourself first before you are able to love others (her). Your wife is a teacher holding up a mirror for you. She technically has nothing to do with this - she can't win in this scenario since it's always been you. Eat healthy, work out, watch some stand up, smoke some weed, exhaust yourself physically then throw out a prayer and welcome the change. You got this!

You could write an entire book about stuff Lex didn't mention. You could watch this interview and almost think Dana was a decent human being. The interview didn't scratch the surface of who this guy really is or what the UFC is really like. It was more like a propaganda piece than an interview.

This interview and episode drop timing is perfect. And this is coming from someone with little experience, knowledge,and/or interest in the UFC but now I AM INTERESTED. In learning more about what and where the UFC comes from. This is the right person to see it through, his eyes, danas POV is making it easy for me to get it, the allure. Really interesting how hearing it from him made me want to know more. Good stuff. Hats off to Lex and the work hes doing and sharing for FREE on KZfaq.

you should maybe not only look at this sport from the eyes of dana. he is a liar and a promotor. he struck his wife in public just like a year ago. he has probably helped alot of fighters (DC & Chael predominantly) but make no doubt about it. if you get to know how the sausage is made when it comes to the UFC and Dana in perticular... yeah. not the eyes you should ONLY see it through.

Dana White is an incredibly greedy POS who underpays the workers who sacrifice their health for his benefit and our entertainment. The UFC has created a monopsony through exploitive contracts. Go read John Nash on substack who has reported on this if you want to research the UFC

@@technodromen yeah you're right I agree. I meant more like the UFC culture and company as a whole im interested in learning about. The whole thing is fascinating, the community the talent the money the business the people! I think Dana is kinda funny and life through his eyes does have a unique pov as he is immersed in that community and the role it plays in his daily life. His experience and insights are valid to me at least. I hear you tho!

@UC8hUaqzC_qCUmxHDgcF-niw movies like vision quest move so many people broadly speaking because regardless if one trains , life itself is a fight… “fighting is the best thing a man can have in his soul…” R.G. Thank you for this amazing interview. I was already a Dana fan after seeing a clip of him defending free speech for his fighters from the legacy media. After this interview my respect for him only grew after learning about his loyalty and how he was willing to throw it all away for Rogan his friend. Powerful stuff. Thank you Lex. 🙏
