We talk to UFC President Dana White as he discusses UFC on Fox 2, the latest on ESPN, his thoughts on SOPA, WWE Champion CM Punk/Chael Sonnen and much more.
UFC on Fox 2 takes place tomorrow night from the sold out United Center in Chicago, headlined by a light heavyweight pitting Rashad Evans vs Phil Davis, Chael Sonnen vs Michael Bisping and Demian Maia vs Chris Weidman.
The preliminary portion of the card begins at 5ET/2PT on Fuel TV with the main card starting at 8ET/5PT on Fox.
White on the Chael Sonnen/CM Punk situation and if he talked to Vince McMahon: “The last I heard Vince (McMahon) shot it down. I don’t care, CM Punk walks out with him or not, it doesn’t change my life. I mean. Chael is friends with him. He wanted to walkout with Chael and Vince wouldn’t let him.”
White on supporting SOPA: “It’s one of these deals where, is the bill perfect? No, nothing is ever perfect. What people have to understand is and they don’t look at this way. If you go in and you steal a watch in a store, you get arrested and prosecuted. And people look at you and go, that guys is a f****n thief. Walked into a store and stole a watch. But if you steal pay per views and these are the same people on the internet (expletive) we aren’t paying our fighters enough, but want to steal pay per views. it’s the same thing. Music, movies, the list goes on and on. it is what it is. and one of the things that has happened over the last couple weeks with all these hackers going in and hacking all these websites. A bill that everybody was terrified of and was dying might turn around now because you guys just started acting like terrorists. And one of the things I always say about the internet and it’s the truth, it’s a place where cowards live. It’s very easy to sit in your house and say things about people and do dirty things about people when your hiding in your house behind a keyboard. And there’s a lot of people terrified about the internet, I’m not one of them. You don’t scare me.”
