He should have 12 of the ufc belts. 11 for each title defense and 1 when he won it.
That’s crazy someone needs to get him his belts.. idk if he has children but those belong in his family.. that’s HIS legacy..
The UFC is greedy, so giving him his 12 belts would be too expensive for them...

Boss move would be for Dana to replace all that he doesn’t have. It would be nothing but super great pr. It would show how much ufc cares about ufc fighters even after they arnt with ufc. Retired or had to move on.

Dana gets what he deserves.
