White: They always say as long as you're getting press, whether it's good or bad, it's a positive thing. I've never agreed with that. I think that too much bad press can kill you. The thing that was great for us coming in and buying a company that had tons of bad press was we could come in and be the knight in shining armor. You could be the guy that comes in and says, "This is what they used to do, but this is what we're going to do now." Basically tell everyone how you're going to change it.


Ha! I'm sure the Pride die hards loved this one.

I heard Zuffa is going to make pride almost a japanese only talent pool. Weak if you ask me.

Good read. Thanks for posting this. It's the first I'd seen of White talking about how close they came to selling.

Funny to think this could've been an interview with Sakakibara 5 years from now.
