My Top 5 WTF Moments In UFC History.

Written By Patrick O'malley.

Intro.

I've been an MMA for nearly over two decades, and i've seen some moments that have made me question my sanity, and it's these moments that i'm going to be taking a look at today. It's known that Dana White has had his fairshare of crazy moments, but the fighters that are under his employment can sometimes be just as bad, so sit back, get yourself a drink, and a snack, and i'll begin.

5. Dennis Hallman, And His Tight Huggies.

I remember watching this when it happened, and the only thought that went through my head was, what the hell was he thinking? They looked tight. This is insane due to the fact that he had the balls ( no pun intended ) to walk out looking like a wetsuit model, and not an mma fighter. This would also piss off Dana. He stated that it looked unprofessional in the only way he knows how. with pure rage. The UFC 127 Press Conference was very rememerable.

4. Dana Whites Rant About Oscar Dela Hoya.

This took place on a ESPN Broadcast, as he laid facts into Oscar following his first attempt at getting into the MMA world, this would lead to him putting on the bout that no one wanted to see in October of 201. Chuck Lidell vs Tito Ortiz 3. Chuck got Ko'd in horrific order in the first round. Dana would go on an f bomb tirade in the aftermath, when Oscar said in an interview that White doesn't pay fighters properly. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

3. Tito Ortiz Goes For Dana White UFC 84 Press Conference.

If you've never heard of the backstory between these two, then the only thing that I can say is this, they've got a rivalry with hate that has blood thicker than the river nile. Take yourself back to May 2008, and the issues with White, and Ortiz hadn't cleared in anyway, so sit back and have a look at this awkward moment, that showed how both were just petchulant children. Tito Ortiz harped on about how all white cared about was money, which was why he didn't pay fighters more money, whilst promising them fame, and wealth. Dana took this in, and replied by saying that everyone on this stage just wants to prove that their the best. This was Gold, in the most awkward way possible.

2. UFC 229 And It's Aftermath.

This is one of those, you had to have watched it live, in person, or at home on PPV, in order to believe that this actually happened. It was the end of the main event that had seen Khabib Nurmagomedov retain his lightweight crown against the former champ Connor Mcgregor. An all out war between Khabib, and a member of Connors corner team would the kick off. This would stem from when Connor got arrested before UFC 223. Many things would get said about both incidents, and as time has gone on, the blackeye that the UFC received has healed, and is a lasting reminder that heat travels, and issues can still stem when time hasn't healed all wounds. Connor, and. Khabib's actions would have consequences, from local enforcement on both occassions, whilst Dana White was left to do damage control. I remember when this happened, and the only thought that went through my head was, how could this have happened? And how was this allowed to escalate? When you take a look at the pre PPV Press Conference, you could see the tention start to mount, and it was palpable, so better man management was needed in my opinion.

1. The Times when Two Fighters Thought In The Ultimate Fighter House.

there are two seperate moments that i'm going to talk about, one would change the shape of how the show would look going forward, and the other would see three fighters get kicked out of the Fighter house. Incident one. Bobby Southworth, and. Chris Leben. This happened when the fighters got back from a night of drinking, and the chaos continued. Diego Sanchez couldn't hold his alcohol, and then it happened. Bobby and Chris got into a war of words. This would end with Chris busting his knuckle, after he trashed parts of the house, and punching his fist into a door. The second one was when Marlon Simms, and. Noah Thomas Brawled in the garden, as Allen Berube acted like the fighters version of Steve Mazzagatti, and allowed these two to batter each other. Thomas was taken to the hospital, and then the following day. Dana White removed all three men from the house. If you can't do the time, then don't get into real shoot fights on a reality tv show.

Overview of this piece. 

The term unhinged gets thrown around to freely these days, but when you look at how the UFC has handled itself over the years. From the moments that no one talks about, to these incidents that also act like reminders to behave yourself when the public eye is watching. This is easier said than done, so lets just put it this way, if you acted like this in your day job, then the next week you will have an appointment with an unemployment agency. Life is a funny thing, you can have something one minute, and the next your the talk of the public domain, for all the wrong reasons. Negative is good press, hah yeah right.
