LAS VEGAS – He’s the first to say athletic commissions more often get it wrong than get it right.
But UFC president Dana White had nothing but good things to say about the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission following UFC on Versus 4 and Nate Marquardt’s ouster from the promotion.
In a fight-week notebook, White also discusses the stakes of Tito Ortiz’s fight with Ryan Bader at Saturday’s UFC 132 event, the state of the UFC-Spike TV relationship, Matt Brown’s profanity no-no, and Brazilian media.
Philippines now likely to host first international “TUF,” UFC eyeing future world grand prix
UFC president Dana White is still hanging “TUF” with the Philippines,
but his promotion is not quite there in mounting its first international
version of the reality show.
“We’re like one piece away from finishing the thing,” White told
reporters following UFC 130, which took place this past Saturday at the
MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
That piece, however, could be the start of a much more ambitious drive
to create a world grand prix of international competitors on “The
Ultimate Fighter,” he added.
