UFC President Dana White appeared this week on Dan LeBatard's radio show, ostensibly to promote UFC 86. But thanks to LeBatard's persistent questioning, they spent more time discussing Kimbo Slice than they spent discussing Quinton Rampage Jackson or Forrest Griffin.White was clearly annoyed that he even needed to discuss Kimbo, and he repeated his assertion that his own lightweight champion, B.J. Penn, could defeat Kimbo. White said he would like to arrange a Penn-Kimbo fight, "So I can start watching him on YouTube again. ... I want to banish this guy back to YouTube. That's where he belongs. He belongs on YouTube."
In other news, White acknowledged that UFC's heavyweight division is in a rebuilding phase, but he said the reason he hasn't signed Fedor Emelianenko is that Fedor doesn't want to fight any high-quality fighters.

I HAVE TO SAY DANA MAY BE RIGHT BECAUSE KIMBO WAS CARRIED BY THE REF IN HIS FIGHT WITH THOMPSON. THE FIGHT SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED.

Kimbo Slice reminds me too much of Bob Sapp two big guys in the ring getting their butts kicked by smaller tougher guys. Give me 6 months to get ready and i'll get in the ring with him "and i'll take him to the street"
