Ive heard this

"Former WWE Champion Brock Lesnar has not agreed to a contract with UFC, however, is expected to sign with the company in the near future. UFC President Dana White has not indicated any roadblocks in the negotiation process. Lesnar was in attendance at UFC 74: Respect this past Saturday night, however, was not shown live on pay-per-view because he is not under contract.

Lesnar had a brief exchange with Randy Couture, following his victory, as he congratulated him."

And yes he won his first mma match, but no shit lol :)
and he has 106-5 overall in four years of college wrestling,
So he knows his shit,

So it would be interesting to know what dana thinks about him and his future.. =)

Apparently Dana and Brock are in talks/negotiations regarding him coming to UFC.

Ask Dana why the negotiations are not going well with Fedor. Also, ask Dana since Cro Cop has said he will retire after his remaining four fights are up with the UFC, will he ever get a title shot.

Ask Dana if he told the the people that run certain
discussion forums to ban anyone that is ridiculing or making fun of Dana White

That's a legit question, but I think they will try to keep the focus on UFC 75 and the fighters on that card. CroCop is fighting on the card, but I think it's pretty obvious Crocop needs to win and win impressively at least twice before a title shot is viable. That highlight KO loss to Gonzaga is hard for fans to erase from their memory. I'd love to see Couture-CroCop too though.

Lesnar would be a good topic, I'm sure Dana's sick of being asked about Fedor.

Ask him about creating some new weight classes, ei 186-195, 206-215, etc.

Find out if the justification behind Xyience's high pricing is because their secret ingredients are make from slaughtered unicorns.

Ask Dana if he's got any interest at all in getting more young women fighters involved in his shows.  His company has a huge following among women who watch because they love to fight.

Why won't you sign Frank Shamrock to fight Anderson Silva?  He wins here, because Anderson should slaughter Frank. 

Are you planning on signing Norifumi Yamamoto?

For Page:

How will you deal with the clinch with Hollywood?

Do you plan on standing, or will you GNP?

For Hollywood:

Would you fight Randy? 

Are you planning on staying LHWY, or will you go down to Middle, or up to Heavyweight?

Decent question, though I can imagine Dana will flip out and ask some rhetorical question like "Who wants to see a washed-up 40 year old who hasn't fought anyone in 10 years?"

That's the best question I received, so I will definitely ask that. Thanks!

Ask Mr. White why he thinks one-fifth of U.S. Americans in South Africa and Iraq couldn't find South Carolina, such as, on a map.

He did offer Baroni to get back into the mix in the middles if he KOed Frank.  I know he hates his guts, and I wanna see someone get under BLAFs skin.  You can do it! 

The UFC needs Norifumi Yamamoto! 

Why no Gomi?

Why no Soko?

Why no Dennis Kang?

Best question yet!  I bet Dana cracks under the pressure and starts babbling incoherently

Most fans want a clean sport.
Ask him what he thinks about random out of competition drug testing and wether he will implement it more in the UFC.

Ratner also said that the U.F.C. had a clause in every fighter’s contract reserving the right to test randomly. Those tests, for performance-enhancing and recreational drugs, Ratner estimated, have been used only about half a dozen times. He said none had come up positive.

Brock Lesnar has been in negotiations with Ultimate Fighting Championshp for quite some time. He was in Las Vegas for last week's UFC PPV and met with UFC President Dana White.

Now, Dana White is GUARANTEEING that Brock Lesnar will be in UFC. Here is a quote from the UFC president himself in an interview he did this week with 15rounds.com:

"I am pretty much going to guarantee you right here that the UFC will get him. Lesnar should have started with us, but we’ll be happy to have him. We are all booked up through 2007, but we would like to have him start after the new year.”

Cro Cop also said he's retiring after his four fights are up. If he wins his next couple of fights, there is no way Dana will give him a title shot and let him retire with the belt. That is if he wins his fights.

No.

Feder still wants to fight in Russian sambo matches and the UFC doesn't want him to do that. I think there is alot of conflicts with the contract.
