UFC President Dana White named 'Dweeb of the Week' by NY Daily News, please congratulate him

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White is used to winning awards for his tireless efforts in mixed martial arts (MMA), but I'm not sure this latest accolade from New York Daily News columnist Bob Raissman -- titled "Dweeb of the Week" -- will make the fireplace mantle.

Here's why:

In 2001, Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta, along with high school pal Dana White, bought the floundering UFC for $2 million. Now, reports suggest UFC is in advanced talks to be sold for nearly $4 billion. On Tuesday White, the face of UFC, shot down those reports.
