UFC updates from Press Conference!















*Dana says the UFC has tried everything to sign Fedor.

*They offered everything outside of co-promotion.

*Dana promises Fedor will not be offered a better contract anywhere.

*White says he doesn’t want to answer any Fedor questions.

*Vitor Belfort has been signed.

*Rich Franklin vs. Vitor Belfort headlining UFC 103.

*Dan Henderson in definitely next in line to challenge Anderson Silva.

*The UFC has signed a deal with ESPN for their events to be broadcast in the UK; effective UFC 101.

*Tito dumped Jenna and is now gay............(just kidding!)

*Tito is back!! Dana says he will retire with the UFC.

*Paul Daley, Rafael Oliveira, Mark Hominick, Ben Rothwell, Chase Gormley, Dan Lauzon and others have been signed.

*Tito Ortiz vs Mark Coleman possible for Tito’s return.

*Belfort vs. Franklin at 205 pounds.

*Dana says the UFC has never had as much interest from major television companies as he does now.

*Title bout between Silva and Henderson could happen very soon depending on how Silva does in upcoming bout with Forrest Griffin.

*Tito expresses interest in possibly moving up to heavyweight in the future.

I'll end with Dana White's ending comments regarding Fedor....."I’m over it. I’m over the deal. I want to talk about the guys that do want to fight the best in the world. (Tito) and 300 other guys that fight in the UFC are willing to put it on the line and fight the best in the world three times a year. A guy that doesn’t want to? (expletive) him."
