Dana White on Greg Jackson “Don’t buy into this family bullshit!”

By on April 19, 2012

“There is one thing that is an absolute fact, and no matter how often Greg Jackson pumps that family bullshit, Greg Jackson is a fucking businessman. The more top guys he brings in, the more money he makes.” said UFC president Dana White

“There’s nothing wrong with Greg Jackson, but he’s a fucking businessman. Some of these fighters, who ought to know better but don’t listen to that bullshit and don’t take it for the crock of shit that it is. These guys need to make the decision where they train based on where they think they’ll get the best work and develop the best, and not on this fucking crazy idea that you’re becoming a part of a family.”

“Greg Jackson fucking told Rashad this wouldn’t happen, that they’re family and all that other shit, but look what is going on now. Look and see who is at Jackson’s and who is not. Train where you think it’s going to be best for you and if that’s Jackson’s, that’s fine.”

“Just don’t buy into this family bullshit because there’s nothing to it. This is the fight business, not the friend business.”

This is not the first time White has been critical of the Jackson camp.

Back in late 2010, he slammed the corner of Nate Marquardt for failing him in a unanimous decision loss to Yushin Okami at UFC 122, one that may have cost him a shot at the division title in 2011 and beyond.

And Georges St. Pierre, who was put in an “awkward situation” when the “Jones vs. Evans” fight was announced, was the primary reason Diego Sanchez skipped town in the midst of his pursuit of the welterweight title in 2008.
