My own list of the Top 10 pound-for-pound fighters in mixed martial arts doesn’t include anyone outside the UFC, and I’m sure Dana White‘s list wouldn’t either. But when White was asked in Toronto on Wednesday to name the best pound-for-pound fighter he doesn’t have under contract, he named someone who had a 6-4 record inside the Octagon before leaving the promotion four years ago.
“The pound-for-pound best fighter outside the UFC? That’s a good question,” White said. “Probably Nick Diaz. Nick is nasty. Nick’s a tough kid and probably should be in the UFC, but he’s too crazy. He does crazy stuff.”

Dana White was in Toronto yesterday with a handful of the fighters from the UFC 129 card and although he didn’t drop any remarkable news during the press conference, a few interesting tidbits came out during the fan Q&A session they did at Rogers Centre.
First off, the Baldfather said that the UFC is working towards making all main event non-title bouts five rounds. I’m not sure the commissions will go for the idea considering the Unified Rules clearly state that only championship bouts can be five rounds. It would be awesome if they could get it done — unless of course it’s a Fight Night card main event, then it might be painful.
Strikeforce tried and failed to make all of the heavyweight tournament bouts five rounds, but I’m guessing the conversation went something like this:
"Hey guys, it’s Scott Coker. Do you think we could make the tournament bouts five rounds? I have to put the request in writing? Forget it. We’ll just do three rounds."

Well, the last few seconds were outstanding. Most of the rest of the televised portion of UFC 126 was extremely middle-of-the-road, but in the end no hyperbole was needed: Anderson Silva – that magnificent bastard — front kicked Vitor Belfort in the face and knocked him out. No, we’ve never, ever seen anything like it before and probably never, ever will again. It was, in a word, awesome and underscored why (no matter how lackluster the rest of a UFC PPV seems) you absolutely must watch until the bitter end. Just in case something amazing happens. Because sometimes it does. So amazing in fact that all across the country on Saturday night, aging karate masters and mail-order blackbelts jumped out of their seats and shouted, “See? I told you that shit worked!”
As for the rest of us, our abusive relationship with the UFC middleweight champion goes on. Let’s be honest here, through the first three minutes, 20 seconds, it appeared as if Silva and Belfort were conspiring to make Dana White’s nightmare of “the worst staring contest in the history of mankind” come true. Silva came out and circled, and shucked, and even did some stupid dancing just like he did against Demian Maia last April. The initial physical contact of the fight didn’t come until 1:40 into the first, when Belfort nicked Silva with a leg kick. Then, just as the grim reality of his suckiness started to set in all over again – just as we started to think of all the other things we could’ve spent that $50 on – boom, front kick to the face. Game over. And we love him again.
