Perhaps it is because people just really want to see Dana White put in his place, but observers are again deciding to interpret the latest UFC drama with Jon Fitch as a sign that Lorenzo is there to fix things when that crazy hot head Dana White flies off the handle.
Steve Cofield offers the corrective that should have been obvious to everyone:
Fitch paints a picture portraying UFC president Dana White as the root of the problem in the squabble and that owner Lorenzo Fertitta was the voice of reason. Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports told ESPNRadio1100 in a radio interview on Thursday that during a telephone interview with White on Wednesday, Fertitta was just as impassioned and could be heard in the background backing strongly exactly what the very angry White was saying about Fitch.
People choose to fit stories into their own view of reality, and that’s fine, but here is the bottom line: Dana and Lorenzo are inseparable. They don’t make major decisions without each other. They live next door to each other. They are practically blood brothers. The idea of some kind of power struggle or split is preposterous.
Good cop, bad cop.
