Dana White Blown Away By Rio Crowd, Promises Big Show For Next Event

UFC President Dana White was impressed by the enthusiasm of Brazilian fans for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, noting that the “first fight of the night sounded like the Anderson Silva fight.” The UFC chief promises the next Brazilian event will be huge compared to Saturday’s UFC 134 event.

White says Anderson Silva’s win confirmed what he’s been saying for years, that ‘The Spider’ is the “pound-for-pound best fighter” in the world. He also notes that despite Forrest Griffin’s loss to Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua, that the UFC owes him a lot, so he’ll always have a home with the UFC. Plus a lot more.
