Dana White speaks his mind, as usual
A MMA-building god, or a total prick, either way you have to give props to Dana White for making the UFC what it is today. Recently the Ultimate Fighting President had a lot to say in an interview with CBS Sportsline: It's a pretty long interview which you can read it in its entirety here. If you don't have the time, I've summarized some of the most interesting comments from the interview. According to Dana White:
- The biggest obstacle currently in the way of continued growth for MMA is that there are only 24 hours in a day. DW (Dana White) is only one guy and there will be three shows in a 17 day span (Ultimate Fight Night April 5th, UFC 69 on April 7th, and UFC 70 April 21st).
- If Mirko Cro Cop beats Gabriel Gonzaga, he’ll get a shot at the title vs. Couture.
- The UFC Middleweight Champ Anderson Silva will probably fight Nate Marquardt next.
- After the Georges St. Pierre vs. Matt Serra welterweight title fight at UFC 69, Matt Hughes is next in line for a shot at the title.
- Fabricio Werdum is the latest Pride FC fighter to defect to the UFC.
- UFC 70 will be shown on television for free!!!
- Dana is still planning on and training for a boxing match with Tito Ortiz.
- Future and rising younger stars of the UFC include Rashad Evans, Michael Bisping Diego Sanchez, and Josh Koscheck.
- It’s likely that Rampage fight Chuck for the Light Heavyweight title in May.
- Frank Shamrock is an idiot and “a very, very weird guy.”
