UFC 97 Post-Fight Press Conference:

Chuck Liddell: "We'll talk about it Monday, Tuesday. But, this could be my last time."

Dana White on Liddell: "I don't want to see anyone stick around too long. I don't want to see anyone hurt. [...] You're never going to see Chuck Liddell on the canvas again. It's never going to happen again. It's done. Tonight was the end of an era. One of the greatest guys in the sport fought his last fight tonight."

 


Dana White on Main Event: 'I wasn't thrilled with it. I wasn't thrilled with it."
Question: "Were you embarrassed?"
DW: "A little... Did you love it? I didn't think you would."

DW: "I am personally unhappy with the whole fight, period. I did not like the fight at all. Period. On either side."

Anderson Silva [trans]: "He wasn't able to execute his game and I was able to do mine. And I walked away with the victory and the belt still."

Chuck Liddell on Silva-Leites: "He was attacking him the whole time... It is a frustrating fight for a striker when a guy every time you go to hit him he falls to his back."

DW: "Fedor is not the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world. These guys continue to fight the best. Fedor is at a buffet somewhere in Russia."

 

Sam Stout: "I did a six hour warm-up for my fight tonight."

strange when you mock the best fighter in the world, saying he is not like your 'BEST' fighters, that in a title shot give a shitty fight...

Dana White is so stupid and full of himself its not even funny anymore...

I dont really know how the f*ck do you guys can stand this POS

See, that's the whole point though.  You are saying that Fedor is the best but then nobody can even say who he is fighting, they scramble to come up with people's names and shit.  That is Dana White's point.  Fedor is fighting sub-par fighters right now.  Unemployed castoffs.  It would be like Michael Jordan playing his best basketball years up in the Canadian Basketball League instead of the NBA.

we'll maybe if Dana wasn't such a Jew and paid fighters what there worth it wouldn't be that way.Michael Jordan got paid what he was worth.if the NBA wanted to pay him thousands while Canadian Basketball League offered millions the man would have been in Canada.don't get it twisted at the end of the day it's always about $.

I have no problem with Fedor going for the big money.  If they want to pay him 15 million to beat the fuckin' shit out of ten-year-old girls then I don't fault the guy in the least for cashing in.  Fighting is a tough sport, but if Fedor wants to be considered the best p for p fighter in mma, he's got to fight the best competition.  He's not doing that right now.  Not by a longshot.

I didn't think the money was the problem for Fedor, I thought it was because he still wants to do those Sambo tournements?

Who knows!  I read that too somewhere.  Both sides are elusive in answering the question of "why" he isn't fighting in the UFC.  Honestly, Fedor is human, maybe he doesn't want his legendary status to be tainted if he comes to America and fails.  I think Fedor kicked ass in Pride, but so did cro-cop.  I never would have thought cro-cop would suck in the UFC.  I thought he was gonna be the HW champ.

If Fedor got into the octagon with Brock Lesnar, every mma fan in America would be watching.  And honestly, I'm not sure who would win.

i think anything can happen in mma, i do believe that in a year or 2 brock will be able to give fedor a competetive fight. fedor always had trouble with elite wrestlers, coleman had good control of fedor in there first fight and even had fedors back for a minute. its ashame coleman never progressed from his 90,s fighting form cause if he would have he might of gave fedor a much better fight. imo brock is alot better wrestler then coleman is at this point in time, only because of his youth and weight advantage. the coleman of 92 was a different animal though, coleman in 92 was on the olympic wrestling team and would have out wrestled brock. dont get me wrong, brock was a awesome wrestler in college, finishing with something like 103 wins with only 4 losses or something close to that, i cant remember exactly.

 brock was a 2 time all american, as well as a 2 time big ten conference champ so he was no joke, imo i think fedor has more trouble with big,strong wrestlers/grapplers in general then he does strikers. fedors record speaks for itself and the bottom line is he gets the job done, he is a great champion and i really dont think fedor is the kind of guy to duck anyone or any orginization, i think its more of a thing where the ufc/dana wants to control fighters lives once they sign with the ufc.

i really cant blame fedor for not signing if dana wont meet him halfway on the terms, fedor loves competing in his sambo and dana wont go for him competing in anything but the ufc if dana had him under contract from what i heard. ill guarantee you this and i know its been said before, if fedor ever signs with the ufc dana would be telling the world fedor is the 8th wonder of the world and the best mma fighter to ever compete instead of bashing him the way he does now, like his recent comments saying fedors sitting at a buffet in russia while the ufc guys are fighting consistantly. thats not exactly the way to work out a contract dispute imo by making remarks like that.

on the real tip fedor just might be the best mma fighter to ever come down the pike imo, only time will tell and i think in the next year or so fedor and dana will have to come to terms both parties are happy with.  for fedor to keep his #1 spot hes gonna have no choice, us mma fans are patient and fair to a point, but just like the tito (chuck duck) stunt that tito pulled avoiding fighting chuck, even alot of tito,s own fans including myself were very dissapointed in ortiz and he fell off my favorite fighter list cause of that.

i would of had no problem if tito fought chuck and lost, i wouldnt of liked it but losing happens in this sport, but once he started duckin chuck it really pissed me off as a fan of his and a mma fan in general.  fans will eventually turn on you and thats not good for a fighters career imo, mma fans can make you or break you imo. thanks for reading
