   I liked this interview with Dana, not like the usual radio spots where they kiss his ***, etc.. They really put Dana on the spot here and i think he handled himself very well.

   There were a couple questionable remarks made by Dana though, “Chuck has more money than god” lol i dunno about that man.. im sure hes done great over the years but hes no A-rod in the bank books. Then some of the usual BS, Fedor sucks etc..

     Yeah, I thought this interview was good as well.

     This is the 4th or 5th time Dana has been on the TSN show and they always ask him tough questions. He handled himself well and actually sounded pretty articulate this time. Too bad he doesn’t realize that and act in that manner publicly more often.

     I thought the most questionable thing he said was that Chuck would retire if he lost to Shogun. How can you say something like that? It’s not his call whether Chuck retires or not, and this close to the fight it can only put unneeded controversy and pressure on both sides.

   I just read a pretty nice interview of Dana with Carmichael Dave about Fedor, i think this guys just trying to aggrevate Dana into possibly saying something controversial to get his name in the news.

   But apart from being a d1ck, he actually does ask some good questions.
