(“What can I say? My life is an embarrassment of riches.” PicProps: Las Vegas Sun)

UFC President Dana White said on Friday that the time might finally be right to promote the much-talked-about, long-debated superfight between middleweight champion Anderson Silva and welterweight titlist Georges St. Pierre, provided both guys take care of business in their upcoming fights. White reportedly made the admission as part of a private Q&A session with small group of soldiers at Fort Hood in Tex., the site of tonight’s Fight For the Troops show. The rap sesh was not open to the public, but MMA Fighting got one of its guys in. 

"If (Silva) wins that fight (against Vitor Belfort at UFC 126), then Georges St-Pierre needs to beat Jake Shields in Toronto (at UFC 129)," White told the guys in uniform. "If that happens, then we’re probably going to do that fight (between St-Pierre and Silva). If they both win, that fight makes all the sense in the world."

One of those camera-toting TMZ reporters who follows celebrities around and questions them as they’re getting into their limos recently caught up with UFC President Dana White for a 19-second interview that you can watch here.

White briefly confirmed that heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez is doing well in his recovery from surgery, then was asked, “When are we going to see women in the UFC?”

White replied, “never.”

Fortunately for those of us who want to see women in the Octagon, White has shown in the past that “never” does not mean what he thinks it means.

10 Things Brock Lesnar Brings to the Table as a TUF Coach

The second Dana White announced that Brock Lesnar would be taking the reins of one of next season’s The Ultimate Fighter teams, it seems that everyone with a keyboard immediately began furiously typing out their manifestos explaining why, in their "professional opinion" the  former UFC heavyweight champ will suck as a coach.

Well, not everyone agrees with the popular assertion that the ironically seemingly reluctant UFC star who owned the camera while cashing paychecks from the WWE will sink the TUF ship.

We may not necessarily agree with White’s opinion that anyone who thinks it’s possible that Brock might not deliver as a coach is basically a stupid f*cking idiot, as he so eloquently inferred MMAFighting’s Ariel Helwani was for asking about the plausibility during a press conference last week, but we are part of the minority who think it may not be so bad.

Check out contributor Jason Moles’ breakdown of why Brock will do TUF some good after the jump.

Behold the Beta Version of Cage Potato’s Punch Machine Game

(Do you really want ReX13 telling you how much you suck? Practice your hand-eye coordination before challenging any 9-year-old COD experts, son!)

Well, you asked for it and we listened.

With the technical expertise of our homies at UP-UP-DOWN-DOWN Games behind us, we have been secretly developing our first of many planned Flash-based games to keep you guys even more entertained here (if that’s even possible) and the day has come to let the CP loyal try it out.

We tried to get a creative license to use the likenesses of Dana White and Pat Barry for the game, but sadly Pat’s is owned by Zuffa and Dana’s doesn’t show up on regular film, or reflected in a mirror for that matter, so we had to settle for the next cheapest best option. Yeah, that’s REALLY what "Bellator" ReX13 looks like.

The first edition of the game is available for trial on UUDD’s Facebook page. Dana White told Ben over brunch on Sunday that FB is the way to make sure your stuff grows legs, so we figured we’d heed his wisdom or be forced to deal with the consequences.

Check out the game HERE and let us know what you think and if you have any suggestions for the *official* release.

Recently signed Strikeforce heavyweight Josh Barnett may be way too busy to attend his next California State Athletic Commission license reinstatement hearing in February, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have time to belt out a few karaoke tunes.

Judging by the video above that was taken of Barnett last week at a bar in Los Angeles, it’s probably safe to say that the Babyfaced Assassin won’t be releasing an album anytime soon, but if he does, he might want to consider hiring a better hype man.

In the months since Wanderlei Silva went on the shelf recovering from a knee injury and subsequent surgery, it seems like practically every middleweight in the division has asked to face him in his comeback fight.

Chael Sonnen, Nate Marquardt, Alan Belcher and Chris Leben are all among the names that have publically lobbied to face the MMA legend. But it seems the most recent man to request Silva may be the one to get the much-desired bout.

Brian Stann is the most likely opponent for Silva upon his return, UFC president Dana White told MMA Fighting.
