Dana White was a guest on CBS"s syndicated talk show, Tom Leykis show to discuss the upcoming events for the UFC, and says some interesting things in the quotes below.
Quote:
Rumor of Chuck Liddell vs. Anderson Silva at UFC 100:
"It's possible. If Chuck can win in his next fight, then we could see that fight. Liddell has been open to fighting Anderson, so maybe that can be a fight we can make. "
Future of Wanderlei Silva after KO Loss:
"He still wants to fight. He is a fighter that I respected since I saw him over in Pride. As long as he wants to fight, we will continue to use him. He is a great fighter. and that's why he is in the UFC.
Responds to Cro Cop talk about wanting to return to the UFC:
"We will welcome him with open arms. He is a guy that I respect, and when he left, there was really no bad blood. He needed to clear some things up, so if he wants to come back, he is welcome."
When Lesnar vs. Mir may take place:
"We don't know yet. Mir took little damage in his fight with Nog, and Lesnar wants to fight him soon, so April may be the time and place for that. It will be good."
To close out the fast interview, he concluded that they will be taking this all over the world, and going global, and said there will be some good stuff happening in 2009.
I like interviews with Dana. He always gives a lot of really juicy tidbits.
Silva vs. Liddell would be a case of dynamite, but I think Silva should be able to finish Liddell (at this stage of their careers) fairly easily. Then again, with Chuck finally changing things up with his preparation and training with ATT, you never know.
i really like dana white. i know alot of people hate him, but i personally like him.
id like to see chuck vs silva. i think silva would run all over him unless he got caught.
and of course id love to see cro cop back in the UFC. maybe if we're lucky he'll be the old cro cop that we got used to seeing in pride. but who knows, either way, id love to see him back.
and as far as wand goes, i dont think that guy will ever stop fighting. he is a beast. i think he's going to start killing people again. hes smart. he knows what he has done wrong in his losses and he goes into training and attempts to fix those problems. so i hope the best for him, i know everyone enjoys a watching wanderlei beating someone completely senseless
Mir and Brock in April? The only event that i'm aware of is UFC 97 in April with Silva vs Leites and also Brock and Mir would be awesome. And even if it is not UFC 97 it's going to be great whenever Mir and Brock fight again.

We need to see him fight first to see if his training actually helps him out. he might just come out with his old style while people think hes gonna come in with something different.
I'm gonna catch it for this, I'm sure; but, I see Chuck taking Anderson out in the first round. Rich franklin couldn't do it; but, he and Chuck throw totally differently. Andersons movement is really hard for a straight puncher to deal with; but, Chuck's not a straight puncher. You've gotta move pretty far to get out of the way of Chuck's right hand. I'm not bagging Silva here, I just think Chuck's style of striking will be really hard for Silva to deal with. Now, bring the hate. haha
