Dana White Believes Strikeforce Sent Mayhem Into Cage

UFC president Dana White was a guest on Tuesday's "Jim Rome Is Burning" to discuss Saturday's in-cage melee at the recent Strikeforce event on CBS. He thinks that Strikeforce sent Jason "Mayhem" Miller into the cage to challenge middleweight champion Jake Shields in order to "save face."

UFC President Dana White Says Anderson Silva Doesn't Deserve Fight With GSP

Prior to UFC 112, there was talk that middleweight champion Anderson Silva would like to cut to 170 pounds and challenge welterweight king Georges St-Pierre.

UFC Pres Dana White Clobbers IGN Reporter For Calling UFC Fake

Okay, so we may have taken a few liberties with the title of this blog post, but hey, if the IGN reporter can do it... we're gonna run with it.

Actually, UFC president Dana White, besides clobbering the reporter, does talk about some of the new features of UFC Undisputed 2010.

Cro Cop Says He Wants To Fight UFC Pres Dana White

While Cain Velasquez positioned himself near the top of the heavyweight division, Wanderlei Silva answered the call of Yoshihiro Akiyama, and Stephan Bonnar and Michael Bisping each called for rematches of their UFC 110 losses, former heavyweight destroyer Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic has a much different take on who he would like to fight next.

His boss. Cro Cop would like to fight his boss, UFC president Dana White.

"It's not about who I want to fight. It's the UFC's decision. I'd like to fight Dana White first," quipped the staunch Croatian at the UFC 110 post-fight press conference.

"It would be easy money for me, but I don't know," he quipped, before adding, "Maybe Ben Rothwell."

Rothwell was his originally scheduled opponent for UFC 110, but had to drop off the card due to illness.

Cro Cop hasn't proven to be the easiest guy for the UFC to deal with. He has consistently avoided PR appearances and interviews in their attempts to build up the legendary fighter's bouts. So maybe Dana White wants to fight him too.

Then again... probably not.

UFC 108 Fight Night - Part 2:

Vince McMahon Is An Animal, But UFC And WWE Not In A War

UFC president Dana White has run the gamut with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) kingpin Vince McMahon. The rumors have speculated from White stealing the WWE business model, McMahon swooping in to buy up the UFC, partnerships, rivalries, and all out wars.

One thing is certain, White admires the pro wrestling luminary.

"I love Vince. He's a (expletive) animal isn't he?" said White when asked if the UFC doing its first Monday night event in an attempt to go head-to-head with WWE.

"I mean we're not trying to go against him. That night is the night Spike wanted the fight. Spike wanted the fight that night, so that's the night they called for it and Vince goes into (expletive) war mode. He's calling up (Mike) Tyson. He's bringing this guy back and the Rock might come back. I love it. He's a (expletive) animal."

A lot of White's admiration for McMahon probably comes from their similar approaches to their perceived competition. Although White doesn't view pro wrestling as a competitor to MMA, like McMahon is doing with Raw, the UFC head honcho often counter programs other MMA promotions.

"You've never heard me say we're going to kick the (expletive) out of Monday Night Raw. You've never heard me say that," said White. "I think we're two totally different, pro wrestling is totally different than the UFC and mixed martial arts.

"And I respect this guy. I like Vince McMahon. I've had breakfast with him. He's a good guy, but he is a (expletive) animal. I'm not trying to beat him on Monday night. I don't think we would beat them. Those guys pull killer ratings. It's been like the highest rated show on television forever. We're just putting a fight on Monday night because Spike wants us to."

Dana White Promises No Cuts Following UFC 108

UFC 108 was a card that took more hits than Tiger Woods' sponsorship deals, but in the end the fighters all came out to perform and put on one of the most enjoyable shows to kick off 2010.

Matchmaker, Joe Silva, burned up a ton of minutes on his cell phone calling fighter after fighter to replace others who were forced off of the card due to injuries, cuts, and other various problems.

A night of exciting finishes brought about the usual fight bonuses, with one of them handed to Paul Daley for knockout of the night. A reporter asked White, who withheld giving a bonus to Anthony Johnson following his knockout of Yoshiyuki Yoshida because he missed weight, why he gave Daley a bonus, who also missed his weight just a day earlier.

"There is no guy on this card that will be penalized tonight," White said. "Nobody's going to be cut tonight, nothing's going to happen to anybody tonight. Everybody's going to make money tonight and leave here happy as hell."

Good news for short notice fighters like Duane "Bang" Ludwig and Dustin Hazelett who helped push the show to the finish line in the final weeks. It looks like there won't be any stories about who is looking for a job post UFC 108.

Even UFC heavyweight, Shane Carwin, sent out a reminder to fans that oh so long ago, he was actually supposed to compete at UFC 108.

"I am supposed to be making weight right now for my fight with Lesnar. What a difference a year makes," Carwin commented via his Twitter page.
