It’s a one, two, three punch of Dana White interviews as Ariel Helwani talks with the UFC President about his amazing seats at the recent Lakers vs. Celtics game, Vitor Belfort’s UFC return and why he deserves a shot at the title. White responds to the idea that “Silva vs. Belfort” is the biggest fight in Brazilian MMA history. White also says the two fighters don’t like each other. White discusses the recent blow to MMA legislation in New York, the Strikeforce heavyweight tournament,  and says he will watch the upcoming Fedor vs. Bigfoot fight. The possibility of seeing the UFC on HBO is also discussed, and MUCH more.

The UFC President calls “B.S.” on Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort’s UFC 126 press conference statements.

Penn at 170.

Karyn Bryant talks with Dana about how big the Silva vs. Belfort fight is, what it means for Silva’s future and their dislike for each other.
