    A lot of people slag Dana off and bring him down at every opportunity, Over in the UK at the moment there's a 2yr old girl who's pretty ill, people are raising money to send her to U.S for an operation.

    Dana was contacted by somebody in UK, and without any pressure or informing the press, he donated 5,000sterling

    I've met him a few times and he was awesome, wears his heart on his sleeve, and after hearing about this he's gone up in my estimation again

    Dana is the kinda guy who takes no ****. He can rub people up the wrong way and people dont like to be rubbed up the wrong way.

    Fact of the matter is, the guy is a GREAT business man. For every "Bad" decision he makes in the eyes of the Keyboard Warriors (Chuck v Tito again) he makes at least 100 great ones.

    Plus, i reckon he'd be an absolute legend to have a beer with.

    Very generous.

    I've always liked Dana, he's works extremely hard and but for him MMA would be nowhere near as popular as it is today.

    Nice thing to do.

    I bitch about Dana alot but the positive stuff he does far outweighs the negative. This does not mean he is above criticism though. As the figurehead for MMA he is always going to be heavily scrutinized, rightly so too.
