    No hard feelings between White/UFC and Atencio/Affliction, or between the UFC and Bud Light.

    When listening to Ortiz talk, count the number of times he says: I, me, my, and mine. The guy is astonishing.

    The UFC did "everything" to make a deal with Fedor happen. But that's what they would say, isn't it?

    Dana: the UFC said yes to everything but co-promotion, which was the deal breaker.

    Clearly it's the only thing M-1 is concerned with--latching themselves to the UFC for long-term survival. If Xyience can survive what they went through, I'm sure M-1 could, too, feeding from the side of the UFC like a lampray.

    White likens what Fedor's team wanted to Farve signing with a team and asking for 50% of everything.

    White: "Fans want to see Fedor vs. Lesnar. It's my job to make it happen."

    Tito: "Nobody for me to fight in Strikeforce." (again, Babalu, Cavalcante,...)

    White: in a network deal, "we're putting on serious fights". So, no Kimbo vs. Tank?

    M-1 is a joke.

    Thanks for ruining an awesome offer.

    Tito vs. Coleman? Snorefest.

    Belfort vs. Franklin should be fun.
