How bad does Dana look in this interview?

He talks about earning respect for MMA from outsiders (like when he came down on those TUF fighters that got into a street fight last season) yet he makes comments like this. He is constantly cussing, and ultimately looking like a delinquent lacking class. He makes the UFC and MMA in general look like amateur hour. Could you imagine the commissioner of the NFL, NBA, or MLBA saying something like this? This looks more like a quote you&#8217d hear from Vince McMahon or some other sideshow wrestling act. [I&#8217m referring to the quote at the end of the video interview].

Also, maybe referring to Fedor&#8217s administration as &#8220crazy Russians&#8221 wasn&#8217t the best way to convince them to join the UFC. I would take immediate offense to that if I was Fedor. Is this really the best PR guy the UFC can find? He seems to be lacking any finesse.
