For the very old-timers who remember Dana White's time on the Usenet as a regular old poster, before his mobbed-up cronies purchased the UFC from SEG, you may recall the evolution of Dana's background:

  • Claimed to be a former professional boxer. This was false.
  • Then claimed to be a former amateur boxer. Also false.
  • Then claimed to be a boxing trainer and coach. Predictably false.
  • Finally admitted he was a Boxercize coach at a strip mall gym.

I never got into Usenet, but I imagine this must feel like if Unidan became Secretary of Agriculture in 2048.

No that would make much more sense. 

It would be like if the cum coconut guy became a player in the grand game of world geopolitics. And was winning

At this point, I'd take the cylinder stuck in an M&M tube guy running the country.
