LOS ANGELES -- As is usually the case in the world of UFC president Dana White, a lot is happening on a daily basis. Not only is this weekend UFC 104, but news continues to break on a whole host of topics. FanHouse spoke to White on Thursday about whether Dan Henderson will re-sign with the organization or head to Strikeforce, Bernard Hopkins' recent negative comments about MMA, "Big" John McCarthy not working at UFC 104 and Chuck Liddell's fighting future. White discussed all those issues and much more. Check out the video interview (which includes mature language) below.

I enjoy Dana White.He entertains me,he makes me laugh.What I do not like about him is that he is a greedy,capitalist whore.He's a foul mouthed,bald headed creature with an insatiable appetite for money–his masters at Zuffa,LLC must be proud.Dana White does not have any scruples about what he has to do to make a $buck$-that's why he is in the entertainment business;it was either entertainment or finance.
UFC 104 is a very clear example of Dana White's complete and total lack of moral standards when it comes to making money.
Dana White and his organization are hyping a fight with very racial undercurrents–the Co-main event at UFC 104 stars an extremely racially proud Hispanic man Cain Velasquez,who has the words Brown Pride actually tattooed on his chest,his opponent is a fat,goofy White guy from Wisconsin,Ben Rothwell.UFC 104 is being held in the city of Los Angeles,a city with a population of five million Hispanic/Latino people–a City,and State,that is going bankrupt due largely in part to uncontrolled immigration from Mexico. http://www.newswithviews.com/Wooldridge/frosty477.htm.
The racially charged Co-main event of UFC 104 is undoubtedly going to attract most of LA’s Hispanic/Latino Community…they will all be in support of “Brown Pride” Cain Velasquez.They will be rooting him on with a Nationalistic fervor.They will celebrate mightily when Ben Rothwell,the fat White guy from Wisconsin,is conquered by “One of their own” …conquered by Cain “Brown Pride” Velasquez.When UFC 104 is over with,Dana White and his organization will have become richer,the city of LA will still be a cesspool of filth and violence,descending further into a third-world hell hole.

i would argue dana white doesnt have the education to enter finance, he can only use others to make money. i've always said nobody rides the back of a fighter better than dana.
other than that i'd say you're right on target.

Why would anyone listen to that uneducated ahole Dana White? He hung around another couple of punks in the Fertitta bros in high school and filth tends to hang together. Together, they are exploiting the masses and their hate for each other.

ufc 104 is another $45 rip off
this is just like a boxing card. only 1 worthwhile fight.
as for the other 4 or so, it's like a crap shoot. any mma in any event can be a dud or a brawl. i'm not paying $45 to find out thats for sure.
and if there's any other good fights, i'll watch them on free internet. dana's gotten enough out of me.

Great Intervierw as always. To the other comments you guys dont have any idea what you guys text about. Dana is doing a great job since day 1 and the mere fact that you guys hate to see him do well is down right child. Grow up respect the game and the player cause he is doing a awesome job. And dont even bring boxing to the game cause that dried out long time ago.

ariel does give the best mma interviews. thats right.
as for the big bucks to follow ufc's soapbox, you're crazy if you can justify paying that kind of money for this. it's outragous.
and dana didn't say hello to scott coker, how could anyone who maneuvers like a snake and does some weak counter-program crap look a scott coker in the eyes and say hello. he can't.
i'm the judge up in dis biotch. check it out. honestly, it should be lyoto vs rampage for the belt. and rashad vs shogun. rashad ko'd chuck, shogun ko'd chuck, so they should have to face off for contender status. instead of making rampage jump thru the hoops for the ratings. anyone notice all the commercials on tuf. ufc is not the mma fans friend. he can give away tickets all he wants. u see him trying to be like mask in his video blog. the stupid bomb bag. probably someone used the trick on him and he jumped up higher than kobe bryant, then he wants to use someone's trick like its his and noone else thinks its funny. cause he's a phony. nuthuggers love to get the ppv rod jammed up their a$$. keep paying. u got the money, no problem. you's are probably the same people who justify spending money on whatever pleases you at that moment. bottom line, this isn't worth the $45 monthly subscription fee. it is exactly a rip off.
fedor is the best mma fighter of all time.

You are a knucklehead !!! Rampage Won`t fight ran off to be a movie star!!Fedor is a joke in order to sign a deal he wanted like 50% ownership of the UFC HAHAHAHA Yea Rite !!!Some of these posts WOW!!

@C-Pimp
1. Rampage was going to fight Evans after Rashad beat Griffin but the commission medically suspended him after the Jardine fight because of a broken jaw. If Dana wasn't all about the all mighty dollar he would have held off on giving Lyoto The Cheetah his title shot and let 'Page get that fight.
2. Rampage never wanted to coach on TUF. Dana knew because 'Page is has so much personality that he alone could make this season a success.
3. Fedor's management doesn't have ownership in SF and they didn't want any ownership in Zuffa. They simply wanted to co-promote the shows Fedor himself fought.
4. Fedor is not only the greatest heavyweight fighter in the history of MMA but is also (at this point) the greatest fighter in the history of the sport. All the UFC champions agree Fedor is the best P4P but the UFC nuthuggers (like you) can't recognize skill in someone unless they are in the UFC. You make me sick.
5. You are as stupid as a retarded chimp.
