Phil Davis out of 133

"[Expletive] right, he gets a break," White said. "Tito stepped up to the plate. It's [expletive] weird here. It's like I'm dealing with a new person. I like it. I like the new Tito.

"The storyline is what's so interesting. Tito went from 'You're about to be cut,' to now, if he beats Rashad Evans, he's back in the mix. He's back in the picture."

"Machida accepted the fight. We knew for a couple days this was going down, and Machida accepted the fight. Then when we called back and said, ‘OK, we’re going to make this fight,’ Machida’s people came back and said, ‘We’ll tell you what. You pay us what you pay Anderson Silva, and we’ll take the fight.’ This was after they had already agreed to take the fight.

“I said, ‘Are you f***ing kidding me? I’ll tell you what. You tell Machida he achieves what f***ing Anderson Silva has achieved, then maybe he’ll make Anderson Silva money. Have a nice day.’”

Lol, Dana.

Dana is a douche, here was him a couple months ago talkign about fighters and there pay

www.mixedmartialarts.com/news/328611/Dana-White-Fighters-dont-want-you-to-know-what-their-bonus-is/

"The thing you guys have to understand is we don't always have a 100 percent awesome, rock-solid relationships with all of our fighters. There are guys that I love in this company, and there's guys I can't stand. I don't like them at all. But one thing you will never see, you'll never see these guys come out and start talking about their money or their bonuses or what they got paid. None of you have ever done a story where guys come out and say, 'Yeah, here's what happened: I fought a great fight, I came out, and this was my bonus.' You know why? Because they don't want you to f------ know, and they don't want anyone else to know, either. That's their business, just like you guys wouldn't want what you make every year reported in the paper. It's the same thing."

Now it makes him look cool he brings up what Machida wanted?

Isnt using Tito for something they can build hype over a better bet ?
If he loses there goes all the momentum of this victory.

Get em Rashad

Rashad Evans: An outside body should pick who fights for the belt.



Evans feels the UFC pretty much chooses who they want to be champion. He said being a number 1 contender in the UFC doesn’t mean anything because things always change. Rashad feels if you’re the number one contender you should get the shot no matter what. Evans said he wants an outside authority to pick who fights for the title.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

More and more beef with the way the sport is being run is coming out from the fighters..

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Get em Rashad

He should be in full force calling out jones for being a bitch. He wants to be no.1 contender call out the champ until his ears bleed.

 

[EmpireWF]

Rashad is just salty.

 

[EmpireWF]

Dana said Leben and Sonnen texted him asking to fight Evans.

lol

 

[CrimsonGhost56]

but if he didnt grab the fence he would of lost, right?

Machida's statement.

“I wanted a guarantee to fight [Evans at UFC 133]. My manager, ‘Joinha’ [Jorge Guimaraes], called me and I said at first that I was excited to be in the lineup. But, after meeting with my team, we saw that it wouldn’t be a good idea, especially because Dana White wanted me to travel to the U.S. immediately to have my training camp there. Many of the members of my corner don’t have visas right now. Then, I said, ‘If you want me to fight, pay me as a champion. Pay me like you pay Anderson Silva.”

“A man approaches you wanting to buy your house, but you don’t want to sell it. So then, you ask for a higher price. You want it? Then pay what I’m asking. I can’t put my career at risk with a bad showing. I think I’d have more to lose than to win in that fight. I have a name in the company. I don’t fight without being prepared, even when I lose. I can’t step in and take the chance of having a bad fight. Today, you have to be extremely prepared.”

“If I’m requested [to fight] in a different way from now on, OK. It’s not like I can’t train in Belem, but ‘pack your stuff and go to the U.S.,’ that takes money and time. It’s a professional relationship. Everything is business and people need to split things. I hope the UFC won’t harm me. It’s gotta be 100-percent with me and them. I want to respect the promotion, my fans and myself. That was my main cause for turning down that fight.”

 

[SHOGUN]

Machida couldn't use his huge backstage bonuses from Dana to fund a US training camp?

If Tito beats this fool, he will get a title shot and it will draw huge numbers.

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Does this mean that once again we have tohear Tito call him sugar Shane rashad in every interview?
