For the record I am impressed with Dana White.

Mainly because he said that he spent years trying to be a fighter and finally realized he was just missing something that makes great fighters. Then he goes after being a promoter and then becomes President of the UFC. I also like that he mingles with the fighters and agrees to spar with one. Just overall got respect for him.

Obviously Dana is promoting his company, but I think he takes risks that most candy ass executives wouldn't. Risking making himself look bad, getting close to fighters.... And as far as leadership goes, I think the biggest and best measuring stick is what the people who work for you think of you. Dana has a pretty good rep with the fighters.
