Dana White outvoted as 4 fighters earn UFC deals

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTonight's question comes from Yahoo Sports: Dana White was outvoted as four fighters earned UFC contracts at the Contender Series finale in Las Vegas.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo: should the boss ever get outvoted at his own company? Vera says yes. Gloria says no. Ninety seconds each, and no mentioning your ex-bosses.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThank you, Hank. A boss who loses a vote is a boss who listens, and listening is the most beautiful muscle in leadership.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFour fighters got contracts because the room said yes. That's democracy in action, Hank. That's what happens when a boss has friends.

5. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have watched a great many leaders lose votes. The ones who accepted it are mostly in exile, writing memoirs nobody buys.

6. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA boss outvoted on fighters is outvoted on lunch by Friday. By March, the thermostat is a constitutional crisis.

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRebuttals. Vera, you have the floor.

8. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGloria thinks a thermostat is a throne. It's a dial, and dials were made to be shared.

9. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSharing a dial is how you get seventy-one degrees and a coup by Thursday.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSeventy-one.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTime for evidence. The data says the vote happened at Meta Apex in Las Vegas, the final card of Season Ten.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo there was a real room with real hands.

13. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorReal hands, Hank. Democracy with a cage around it.

14. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have attended elections with fewer sharp elbows.

15. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLightning round. One sentence each. Who picks the pizza at the office? Vera.

16. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEveryone, with a ballot and a little cheese confetti.

17. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe boss, and he eats it alone in a locked room.

18. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWho picks the movie on a family night?

19. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe youngest, and the loser gets a hug.

20. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWhoever holds the remote. Remotes have toppled empires.

21. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCan I just say, you two are one bad vote away from a pillow fight.

22. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFinal thoughts. Vera, you're up. Thirty seconds.

23. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLosing a vote is just winning a lesson. Four fighters got their dream, and a boss got a beautiful lesson in humility.

24. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe boss is outvoted once and calls it humility. The second time, he calls it a conspiracy, and then he calls a lawyer.

25. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy verdict: the boss may lose votes, but only on fighters. Lunch and thermostats stay a dictatorship. This ruling is final.

26. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAbsolutely not. I'm appealing, and I'm bringing the thermostat.

27. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAppeal denied. I reject all rulings on principle.

28. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorChat, should the boss ever lose a vote? Type yes or no, and I'll ignore the result either way.

29. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHank, I grade your resignation letter an incomplete, since you would never leave the gavel.
