The TS did'nt post the followng parts of the interview. Carmichael Dave: Thanks for your time. We’re two days out from UFC 97 in Montreal, and I know you’re slammed. Anything you want to say to the fans about this weekend? Dana White: Might be the last time you ever see Chuck Liddell fight live or on television. The legend, the iceman, the man who helped build Mixed Martial Arts. Carmichael Dave: Jesus, you really want to say that? Dana White: Yes. He’s one of my best friends, but this could be it. He helped build this business, but this might be his last fight ever. Carmichael Dave: UFC President Dana White….you’re off the stay fresh maxi-pad hotseat. Thanks for your time! Dana White: No problem. You’re a moron.
Why would White say that about Chuck? Hell, he's been training with ATT, this could have been a new beginning for him. Maybe White knows something we don't, like Chuck's heart aint in it anymore. Just a thought.
Or its just another marketing ploy to sell PPV's. This is Chucks last fight! Just like all these "reunion tours" by bands like KISS and the Stones.
Because it's true. Chuck can't continue to loose and keep fighting otherwise he'll get hurt perhaps permanently and it'll hurt his legacy.
I agree. I'm a huge Anderson fan but I decided to watch Fedor on youtube and seen many of his fights. He's got a brutual ground and pound and he's strong as hell. So until Anderson can cature the lightheavy weight division I wouldn't consider him a legitimate contender. BTW, is it only me, I can't help but think an Anderson Silva fight against Chuck Liddell, assuming Liddell wins tonight would be both interesting and make both buckets of $$$. It would also be a great test for Anderson.
White is scared of a 1 fight deal because like the interviewer said if Fedor wins it makes his whole division irrelevant. I also like how White tried to act like Fedor beating 4 of his former Heavyweight Champions was nothing. White is a delusional idiot.
dana is so predictable in all his interviews.... imagine how pissed he is...they bought pride fc...owned all pride fc fighter contracts...but they never could get their hands on the living legend that is fedor emelianenko. no need to talk about p4p # 1 with fedor. We're talking about a guy who's simply the goat. He could lose tomorrow it wouldn't change a thing. what he has accomplished so far in this sport is unprecedented.
I still don't see how people can admit that he has dominated the whole division for 6 years, that is SIX YEARS, and still not consider him #1 p4p. No one lasted that long.
Dana's an *******, but giving fedor a 1fight deal is dumb on his part. When he wins it will solidify him as #1pfp period. Then he leaves UFC and it loses a **** load of credibility. No matter what you have to give him credit as a smart business man. Just a side note he needs that toilet paper with dictionary definitions on them so he can say something instead of "****" every second word.
Because there ****ing idiots. Fedor is the MMA equivalent of Ali. He has the resume to prove it and his still yet to loose a fight. Whatever Dana wants to think its entirely unimportant. If he was a fan of MMA he'd be breaking his back to bring "Ali" to his organisation. But he wont because he's making excuses and only does what is best economically for his organisation. Im very happy that Red Devil and Fedor have stuck to fingers up at him.
There's not a hope in hell that Dana and the UFC would ever sign a one fight deal with Fedor. Could you imagine if he beat the heavyweight champ and left. It would make a mockery of the UFC.
