Ariel Helwani is in Montreal, Quebec Canada covering the UFC 124: St. Pierre Vs. Koscheck. The 2010 Fighter’s Only MMA Journalist of the Year was able to snag Dana White for an in depth interview and argue with him a bit over who the most famous Canadian athlete really is. Helwani is a native of Canada and held his own debating with White that Wayne Gretzky may have more fame than GSP, but White maintains, Georges St. Pierre is known everywhere, especially noting his popularity due to the internet (which Dana so loathes as a media outlet).
Helwani also asks White about his relationship with Josh Koscheck after six weeks of filming for TUF 12. White is honest that their relationship has improved but reiterates that Koscheck is still a dick. Helwani also informs Dana White that Bellator will not allow Jonathon Brookins to fight for UFC due to the lawsuit and also tells him he’s heard about big rumors over an announcement soon for UFC in Brazil. White is surprised by both questions, saying he’s ready for a legal battle with Bellator and as for the Brazil rumors…he doesn’t know. Hmph….
