27/11/09 - Dana White's Thanksgiving list
With Thanksgiving falling today and the sound of tables across America labouring under the weight of turkeys, UFC president Dana White has made a note of the things he has to be thankful for. Describing it as a “laundry list” to ESPN, White reveals that among other things, he is thankful for:
- Bruce Lee: “I've said it a million times: He's the father of mixed martial arts. He was so far ahead of his time.”
- Food: “I'm not thankful for how much I love to eat, though. You go out and buy all these nice suits and then you gotta try to stay in 'em. I'm thankful for my suit pants -- they're the referee in trying to keep my weight down. That's my thing, I don't ever change my waist size. I keep it the same, and if they start to get tight, then I have to lose weight.”
- The Venus Razor: “You know the chick razor with the gooey stuff on the side? Yeah, that's what I shave my head with, it's true. Funny, right? I'd look like a nicked-up freak without that thing.”
- Las Vegas: “I honestly and truly think it's the greatest city on Earth. It is for me and guys like me, anyway. I go a million miles an hour no matter what and this is the city built for that. It's always open. There's always excitement and energy and something to do. That's me. That's who I am and that's the life I live. I'm very thankful for this city that never disappoints.”
And last but not least, the fans: “I'm thankful for the passionate, psychotic lunatics who are the fans of the UFC. Not only will they come and blast me when they think something's wrong, they also travel all over the place, buy the events, stand by the sport, and I'm very thankful for their energy and support.”
