Dana White is pissed!

From the bloodyelbow about Dana White's recent radio appearance,
"He is obviously very unhappy with Roger Huerta. He basically called him a moron for complaining and bitching about PR. Said he hasn't beat anyone to justify millions of dollars that he's demanding, but if he beats Kenny Florian it's a different story. (This week in the Observer, Dave Meltzer reported Huerta is asking for a bigger contract than BJ Penn has.)"
Man would I love to see Michael Bisping pull this shit off. The dude is basically the UFC's only UK star. Could you imagine the shit Dana White would say about him? "He couldn't even beat a deaf guy and we threw the fight for him! And he wants more money? How about I give him a fighter other than a guy from TUF and lets see how he does"
But seriously I don't understand how Dana gets along with anyone. When there is a disagreement in the UFC office does Dana just throw fire fluid all over everything and lights a match screaming, 'you want to burn baby!' You know they could try and work this out in some viably equitable situation for the both. Or, I know don't baby a fighter along for five-fucking fights!
That being said, Huerta doesn't deserve B.J. Penn money, and asking for it is ridiculous, even in a negotiating strategy. Being laughed at kind of hurts your position when you want more money. Still the UFC should work on making him happy with a incentive pay ladder. You get a bonus equal to some percentage based formula upon meta-rankings. So the tougher competition you fight the more money you get. Not really that hard to figure out. Then you will be paying fighters based upon skill and quality of opponents. That way you don't have malcontents who go all T.O. on you.
