"the bunker"
Dana White explains the change:

?[The Facebook fights] will go away when the FOX deal starts which is in January because all that programming now, I mean the reason we did the Facebook fights was because nobody could see those fights. So we put them up on Facebook as an option for fans, because we always love to give more fights. But with the fact that FOX wants to pick up all these fights, they?ll be on television now.?

as far as i`m concerned,white`s stock just went way up.......

"the bunker"
i`m begginning to come over to the dark side regarding dana white....never thought it could happen....

white:

"It's my big beef with Merchant for years. These guys get done fighting and he jumps in the ring and just starts saying off-the-wall, weird, rude [expletive] to these guys. Who the hell would want to do an interview with him? It's probably the thing they dread worse than training and cutting weight and everything, is their interview with Larry Merchant. It's ridiculous. I actually thought that [his statement] was very embarrassing for HBO. The guy is senile, he's out of his mind. He's up there berating Floyd, but Floyd can't say anything back to you? You've been disrespecting guys your whole career, and guess what, you can go back 60 years, you're not kicking Floyd's ass, okay? Give me a break. And what's Floyd going to do? A 102-year-old guy just said that to him."


white `s been hitting my g-spot lately...go figure

I'm not sure how many of you follow submission grappling and the recent ADCC championships this past weekend.

As expected Marcelo Garcia won his 4th gold title with victories over Kron Gracie (Rickson's son) and Leo Viera amongst others.

Garcia for my money is the greatest submission grappler alive. At only 170 pounds he has defeated

Renzo Gracie via points,
Kron gracie (3 times twice via points and once by guillotine),
Vitor Riberio (Rear Naked Choke),
Thales Leites (Rear Naked Choke),
Gabriel Gonzaga (points),
Renato "Babalu" Sobral (points),
Shinya Aoki (Rear Naked Choke),
Ricco Rodriguez (heel hook),
Diego Sanchez (armbar),
Alexandre "Xande" Ribeiro (RNC - also lost via points to him)
Pablo Popovitch (twice by Wristlock)
Demian Maia (points)
Andre Galvao (choke and via points)
Robert Drysdale (points)
Jake Shields (guillotine)
George Sotiropoulos (guillotine)
Kurt Pellegrino (rear naked choke)
Rolles Gracie Jr. (armbar)
Alexandre Ferreira (rear naked choke)

While I don't have videos of the recent tournament check out his rolling with current Bellator champion and 2008 US Olympian Ben Askren. He is able to sweep and submit Askren at will:0008
