re: Lesner's Victory speech

“I was blown away,” White said. “I don’t think in the history of the UFC we’ve had anybody do that. It’s not who we are, and, to be honest, it’s not who he is. You hang with these guys personally, and you get to know them. If he was a dick, I’d tell you right now this guy is a psycho and I don’t know what I’m going to do with him. He’s not. He’s a smart guy. The sponsorship thing was the craziest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.”

“Brock went so far over the top, I can’t even put it into words,” White said. “WWE -- that’s what it is. We had a talk. We talked like men, and he said he was sorry. He said, ‘I’m embarrassed by what I said.’ I take his word for it this time.”

I haven't seen Joe Rogan in a long time, but he's looking pretty rough.

But it isn't white that isn't getting it done.....Fedor chose what he would rather do...why be mad at white for it

It is White's fault. You simply cannot have a contract be so one-sided and expect the greatest HW fighter in the world to bend over, take it up the arse, and say thank you may I have another?

If White was reasonable and not an arse wipe, he would sign Fedor to fight 1, 2, 3 fights or something like that and not have all the stipulations and restrictions that make Fedor White's property for an indeterminable amount of time. Fedor is not going to be White's bitch.

He's his own man. Nothing wrong with the haircut. I actually like Lesner. People talk trash in the NBA, NFL, etc. Don't see what the problem with him talking trash.

i was kind of disappointed that he sounded like a hick. as someone who had never heard him speak before, i was really hoping that he'd sound like a viking

If you make exceptions for one fighter then it snowballs into making exceptions for a lot more. Do you think the UFC would have let Couture compete in international wrestling tournaments while he was under contract? No. Just like any NBA, NFL, or MLB team protects their investments, so will the UFC. Jesus, some NFL players have in their contracts that they can't ride motorcycles. The UFC doesn't want their investments to get hurt in other venues. I can't fault them at all for this.

The UFC has made exceptions before and will again if they want Fedor. Period. Fedor has said him not competing in Sambo is not negotiable. End of story.
