Retired MMA fighter, and crucifix pioneer, Ivan Salaverry was interviewed for the documentary Fighting Politics (the one about how Matt Lindland got hosed) and let's just say Ivan won't be receiving a Zuffa Christmas card anytime soon.
For those that can't watch the video here's a transcript:
"Dana White makes things difficult. Dana White is not somebody you should be scared of. He's an aerobics kickboxing teacher [sic] an ex-aerobic kickboxing teacher. He's not a MMA fighter he's never been a MMA fighter. He used to be a pretty nice mannered agent. And then all of a sudden he got this power via the Fertitta brothers and he is this demigod for the MMA world.
camera cuts to new scene with Ivan standing and talking to the crew. The camera is still on.
They're all scared of him. Dude they're all f***ing, everybody is all f***ing 'oh my go Dana White' f*** that little bald f***er. Piece of shit. He is.
He's a scumbag. That's what he is, a scumbag.
Salaverry vs. White should have been the main event at UFC 108.

Idk
Lindland still sounds bitter after his departure from the UFC. But your are most likely right.

I think Lindland
had something to do with the production of this film.
The guy is a great fighter and he’s also a world-class complainer.
Follow me on Twitter @KidNate
a lil of both
Lindland is outspoken and not afraid to butt heads. I have worked with guys like Lindland, I hate it, they piss and moan about everything and anything. They are a cancer to an employer. UFC has done just fine for itself without Matt, Matt has done well for himself without UFC. I dont miss watching him dry hump all his opponents. He tries to use the same style of Couture, but, Randy does it so much better.
