Former MMA Fighter threatening to kill Dana White

For year now it seems

"UFC Prez Dana White is on the receiving end of some terrifying death threats from an ex-MMA fighter who says he plans to "shoot [Dana] right in the head" -- and now cops are on the case.

It's unclear what started the beef, but the wannabe fighter -- Dan Quinn -- has gone off the hinges, leaving voicemail messages threatening to blow up Dana's offices and put a bullet in the back of his head.

Quinn's fighting career spanned nine years from 2001-2010. He never fought in the UFC, but did face off against a couple of future UFC fighters, including 2004 heavyweight champ Frank Mir (Quinn got beat).

Quinn has made rambling threats against White for several years on YouTube, but they escalated recently after Quinn somehow got Dana's private work number and left chilling messages."


"In the voicemails, obtained by TMZ, the delusional Quinn accuses White of sending in henchmen to kill him, claiming, "I just want you to know, since you're bringing that to me, you should be worried about your own safety, bitch."

Quinn adds, "I'm gonna shoot you right in the head motherf**ker."

The voicemails get even weirder -- one from a guy (presumably Quinn) speaking in an Irish accent and calling himself "Paddy O'Neill." The "Irish" interloper then makes several threats.

We're told White has never met or spoken with Quinn -- sources say the Prez never ever heard of the dude until last week, when the voicemail threats got crazy.

White's security team turned the voicemails over to the Vegas PD, which is currently investigating.

Calls to Dan Quinn were not returned."

I know it's TMZ, but I feel like this is worth posting anyway.. This guy is a serious mental case and needs to be in some sort of institution.

I think I may have seen this video before. Definitely have seen this guy in a similar video in years passed. I'd remember that crazy anywhere. I personally think he needs some chill pills, but as long as he isn't a danger to himself or others he has as much right to be nutter as the rest of us :p

Dan Quinn vs Charlie Z NEEDS to happen, although Charlie's record is way better at 22-0

^the way you classify people is mad strange man. i dont get how death threats dont instantly bring up a red flag for you

this guy is amusing as ****, but when you threaten to kill multiple people... that is legitimately someone in need of medical help.. i almost feel like you didnt see his videos... yea they r just videos but when he does 30 min long ones and has about 150 of them where he ALWAYS rants about the shit he went thru as a kid, his parents fucked him, he will fight/kill somebody... how can you say he isnt crazy man? and then go group him with religious people or conspiracy nuts?

he made death threats! your judgement system seems flawed... i would be careful around people like this much more so than someone who believes in something that is against the norm..

Religious people make death threats all the time, in fact they killed man for drawing one of their prophets a few years back. Have you ever heard of the crusades? Religion and religious branches are one of the leading causes of war in the world, so don't say because this guy makes a death threat, that he's worse - he's really not, unlike religion he has yet to kill someone (or millions, in religion's case).

Also, how do you know this isn't how he vents out his frustrations and issues? Everyone has to vent somewhere, he found You-tube and a way to express his anger/frustration, words mean little, actions matter - so far he hasn't actually killed someone, has he? People say they want to kill someone all the time, it never happens (well, usually) and hasn't happened for him in over 150 videos (I didn't lookw ho many, going by your stat there).

He mentions that he was accused of **** in college. God has told him that he is an Angel named Maitreya, he mixes something called stevia with water to create pure h20 which "explodes into a soup" he calls this "cold fission". Stevia has made him the toughest man on the planet and it can heal cancer and heal all diseases.

"Dan threw his son down the stairs to prove stevia has magic power and compared it to the war in Iraq. The power of stevia brought his nearly-dead cat back to life. He has an imaginary friendship/partnership with Mark Brannon (Mel Gibson from Tequila Sunrise) and he thinks the character from the Bad Boy clothing line was modeled after him because he beat up 5 guys at a bar one time."

Call it what you will.
There is a very large branch of religion (multiple ones from different countries) that believe prayer can heal cancer. Just recently a family did not take their kid into the hospital as they felt God would cure him (I believe it was appendicitis or something), well God did not cure him, and he died. There's also a branch of people who think love/certain plants can cure you, and all you need to do is give into the light of the world (this also doesn't cure you, but they think it does).

Have you seen the Mexican guy who says he's the reincarnation of Jesus, the actual, real second coming? He was on the movie Religious, I can find him if you want more info. He has his own church and is praised by many. He should be, after all, he's freakin' Jesus.

He probably doesn't train much anymore...I doubt he's super tough in a fight at this point...relatively speaking of course.

Believe it or not, the poster you were replying to wasn't actually referencing any religions or defending them... but rather this one eccentric individual....but any excuse to spew your usual pseudo-intellectual bullshit, eh?


Oh and by the way, a poll of 1,000 people of dubious background does not equate to the beliefs of over 300 million people.....obviously.

yeah your a little off base there. of course some people believe it literally but that is usually the people with less understanding of logic/science.. and even if they do believe it literally, that is what makes them have faith in god.. because they believe that he can do extraordinary things.



this is :thumbsup:. most christians actually believe in the bible for the message and understand it was written by man and in a time where there was less understanding of the world. still, maybe those people of old times felt a connection to a spiritual source? not everyone does and that is understandable. but dont generalize. i dont get how you can classify this guy in the same bracket...

anyway back on topic.. dude is violent, admitted to being a drug addict, rants about the same shit and threatened to kill somebody multiple times. is it gonna take him actually killing someone to convince u he is a little bit off the ******* rocker?

i just dont think your system of judgement is very smart. if there are people like this in your life that i suggest you not associate with them.
Factually incorrect. We are debating if Christian's are worse/equal/better than this guy (or religious people in general). Please try again. :thumbsup:

edit - not "better" than, but equally strange ideas. I've kept the notion that everyone should be free to express themselves and that none of them are crazy, they are just humans, and humans believe in and have strange ideas of all shapes and sizes and have done so since our race started and will probably continue until our race ends. Just to make that clear.

After three years away from fighting sports, Quinn decided to try his hand in mixed martial arts. In his second fight, he lost to future UFC World Heavyweight champion Frank Mir.
Other notable bouts Quinn had was his fight against UFC star Jason Lambert, in which Lambert avoided engagement and won via decision, and a fight against K1 striker Carter Williams, who controversially defeated Quinn by TKO via illegal low kick.[3] Although he was locked deep in a keylock, Quinn refused to submit against Dan Molina, ultimately forcing the ref to end the fight in favor of Molina.[4] Quinn then went on hiatus from MMA for four years.
In his return fight, Quinn KO'd Muay Thai/X-Arm fighter Bond Lapua, who outweighed him by fifty pounds
When he was younger he wasn't that bad.. Could have a decent record and we could have seen him in the UFC had he been a little luckier.

MC, I replied to you at the end of the last page. Not sure if you saw.

He said he was psychotic...which clearly, he's showing familiar symptoms of psychosis by the literal definition of it.

No one cares about his ideology, he's been described as having violent delusions that quite obviously never happened.

Secondly, regardless if he's crazy or not, he's still going to be in huge hot water legally...anytime someone issues a bomb threat, the repercussions are going to be drastic, regardless of how "normal" he is....relative to religious zealots.

He's not psychotic, he's normal. Don't get me wrong, most people have a certain level of "crazy" in them including myself, but he's not anymore crazy or psychotic than any of the groups/individuals I mentioned that get little hate.

As for the bomb threat/legal issues, I have no idea what you are talking about. If he issued a bomb threat (threatened someone with a bomb? I don't know, too late for me to know if it was in that video or not) then he should get legally busted for it. Nothing to really say about that, he broke the law, shizzle happens.

There's a reason most people are calling a spade a spade here, and not going off into side tangents about morality and other nonsense.

Mainly because it's a fairly clear-cut case...one can not be delusional about something that speculative...the comparisons to religion are laughable at best. Trying too hard.
You mean like the people who say that God physically talks to them, and that they can physically and mentally "feel" God, the ones who say they "see" god, not in trees and the lovely sunset, but literally SEE God? They are as delusional as this guy, which as I said, is pretty normal given what strange things so many people believe (be it religious or otherwise).

Psychosis is a loss of contact with reality, usually including false beliefs about what is taking place or who one is (delusions) and seeing or hearing things that aren't there (hallucinations).

"In the voicemails, obtained by TMZ, the delusional Quinn accuses White of sending in henchmen to kill him, claiming, "I just want you to know, since you're bringing that to me, you should be worried about your own safety, bitch."

Well, if you ever need proof that there are crazy people out there just watch this video. Its scary how many of these people are out there today, just ticking time bombs that you could set off in traffic, the grocery store, bowling (lol) and they'll go nuts and kill a few people.

This thread is a perfect example of why I don't discuss religion on the internet. And I'm not even religious.

On the original topic. From the perspective of someone who does have a degree in Psychology - Forensic Human Behavior Studies - this guy definitely shows signs of paranoid delusions well outside the normal range. Has a history of aggression, makes constant threats, exhibits stalker behaviors towards the object of his delusions, and has made a public record of his thought process. I can't definitively label him with a particular disorder due to the limited nature of the exposure but can I say that he is someone to be watched and treated as a threat? Most definitely.
 
#65 ·
Yes because high profile people have proven to be immune to the homicidal tendencies of disturbed people... unless you ignore actual evidence on the subject. Stalkers - especially ones with a love based or revenge based obsession - have a very high percentage of violent action against the targets of their obsession. And an oddly high percentage of being able to infiltrate security measures taken against them.

But, other than the facts, it's perfectly safe just to denounce him as a nut and ignore him.

If I had to hazard a guess as to how many threatening youtube rants ( of which there are millions ) actually lead to anything serious happening is about 0.01%.

Combine that with Danas considerable security and all your left with is about as threatening as a small terrier barking at you from 100 meters away.

But no. You know the "facts"... which are not actually facts. Just your speculations based on the youtube ramblings of some saddo you've never met. Facts indeed. :laugh:
