What Dana says and what he does are often completely dependant on the who.

[jakobmorck]

Weird Conor was allowed to fight again... Double standards smh..

[aceventuraify]

Dan didn’t even approach Herb, Herb approached Dan after the fight to tell him not to yell ‘Stop the fight’ when he is reffing, then they got into a heated argument.

[rajendranadarajan]

Dan Hardy eventually got fired which is a damn shame. He was a terrific commentator....

[doctordentistesquire]

You can see that Dana white doesn't even believe himself. You can see Dana white's eye fluttering around and his brain remembering that he lets Connor McGregor put his hands on anyone or anywhere he wants.

“If you work for me and you approach a referee i will fire you” Unless your name is Conor McGregor then you can push Marc Goddard with no repercussion

[rtrt]

He may have approached the referee but the truth is that Dan Hardy was absolutely right

[saarim]

“I’m speaking to him right now” - that was cold asf!

[purebloodheretic]

Herb Dean, Approached Dan Harvey after the Flight, Dan was Still at the Announcers Table, When Dean Approached him! Dean made a Bad Call on that fight, & Should have Owned it!!!😉👍

[bobdylan]

Connor: (touches goddard)

Dana: 🙄

Connor: youll do fookin nutin!

[chrisredfield]

For the record, Dan did not approach Herb. He remained at his commentary desk the entire time and Herb approached and confronted him. But I guess he's somehow royalty and is respected more than an actual former title contender and great commentator? That's ridiculous.

[yvettee]

but, it is a okay to break a bus window, injure other fighters to try to intimidate a future opponent....oh, that's right there are different rules for Conor.

Didnt conor mcgregor jump the octagon and approach a ref over a outcome of a fight albeit in a diff organisation yet went on to have 4 bouts in the ufc

[smokestrong]

Dan didn't approach herb..herb approached him first after the fight was over

[NZyoutube]

don't ever touch a judge or a referee.... but yeah, you can SMASH BUS AND HURT OTHER that's a good narrative to sell the next fight LOL!

[DHT]

I’m still trying to figure out why hardy got fired by BTSport and UFC.

I got so much love and respect for DAN as a commentator and fight analyst .
I know we only see what is shown on TV and your YouTube. But Dan is up there with DOM for me, when it comes to MMA analysts.

What if you punch an old man in the head, after they refuse your shit whiskey? Oh wait.. 🤔

[CoolPandaTheMovieNerd]

“If you shove a referee you will never work for me again unless you’re my boyfriend Conor”

[petej]

He should have commented on how bad that stoppage was

[agooknight]

how about protest on early stoppage like Cruz or Dillashaw? Is that allowed ?
