(they never mentioned Brocks antics after the fight either) There is no such thing as bad publicity. Hell, we're still talking about it. 
If anybody hates him, they are feeding right out of his and Dana's hands. That's exactly the way they want you to feel. More people will buy the ppv's just to root against him. Every sport needs a good villain.
The most "classless", if you want to label somebody that, person in UFC history is Dana White. Read his interviews and he calls out other organizations and labels them losers all the time using the F bomb liberally. It gets him noticed and that's what it is all about.
And don't even talk about class and Rampage. 
First, the running from the cops thing and now this:

Traina: Has he apologized since then?
Nichols: No, not at all. He was very, very pleased with himself. |
He's the guy that always talks about how this isn't boxing...And acts just like a silly boxing promoter. Have you seen the cover of that new magazine, where he's throwing fists at the camera? Yeah, you're a hard ass Dana!
I also despise the fact that he talks down fighters that he can't land. He tries saying things like Fedor's overrated in one breath, and in the next he's desparately trying to make a deal with him?
