CALGARY – It’s a question Dana White has fielded before, and usually his answer is quick and simple.

But on Thursday, the UFC president tossed a little curveball during a pre-fight news conference for Saturday’s UFC 149 pay-per-view event in Calgary.

When asked if the UFC would soon open up a cruiserweight division as a home for those in-between heavyweights who are too big to drop to 205 pounds, but are undersized compared to those in the division that max out at 265, White said if anything, the promotion is likely to go just the opposite.
