Dana White, King of MMA

(Sean Pound) #1

said the boy had seen Kelly at the school football game on Friday night and offered
her a ride to the dance after the game. Gorman always had a dance for all the kids
who attended Gorman after the football games at Ryan Hall at the school. She had
told him she was with friends and did not need a ride. Apparently, this boy the
following Monday went around the school telling other students he had hooked up
with Kelly that night and was telling some nasty lies. The boy did not know she was
Dana’s sister. Dana was on his way to beat this boy to a bloody pulp for lying about his

Later I found out half the students in the school were on their way to the store to

primping and posing, flexing their arms and fixing their hair ten different ways, in
front of the mirror. There was so much cologne splashing around it smelled like a
French whorehouse.
Our house was also the house they came back to at night to sleep if they had too
much to drink. My rule regarding drinking for Dana and his sister was that they could
drink (I knew they would anyway) but wherever they were that was where they
stayed. They were never, ever to get into a car with anyone who had been drinking.
We had many overnight guests on the weekends. If I wasn’t working on Sunday
morning, I would get up and face a stereo speaker down the hallway where the
