As great of a job as Dana White has done marketing UFC and making it a household name, he needs to step down IMO. Dana White is the Stan Van Gundy to the next Commissioner's Pat Riley....I think a new commissioner would use the current status of UFC to promote talent, skill, instead of just personalities and make the UFC a legitimate sports franchise (like the MLB, NASCAR, NHL, NBA, and NFL) and without the fear of it just being gimmicky or trendy or a "fad". In order for UFC to take the next step, I think Dana White needs to get out of the driver's seat...but that's just me. IMO he doesn't have the personality to do much other than promote or manage, but he has done a great job thus far in branding the UFC.
That's all I have, and I will admit that despite the foot stomping and grappling there are some good matches and very good talent in that group and at least their heavyweights come to fights in decent shape....we can't say that about boxing recently
