Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White didn't race to his hotel room or Newark Liberty International Airport tarmac after the UFC 159 press conference (watch replay here) concluded last night (Sat., April 27, 2013) at Prudential Center in New Jersey.
On the contrary, White huddled with mixed martial arts (MMA) reporters in a media scrum to field questions about the the UFC 159: "Jones vs. Sonnen" pay-per-view (PPV) event, as well as the current state of the sport such as regulation in New York -- the Culinary Union has apparently spent more than $2 million to keep the promotion from getting regulated in the "Empire State" -- referee decisions, fighter gloves and much more.
Of course, White recapped the main event between Jon Jones vs. Chael Sonnen, including the now-infamous broken toe (more here) that "Bones" suffered slaying the "American Gangster" (watch highlights here), as well as the fight future of the three-time UFC title fight loser (and popular FOX Sports television analyst), whose testosterone levels were "right on" leading up to the bout.
White also addressed "super fight" speculation that he sparked when discussing the next possible fight for Jones (more here), confirming that Anderson Silva would first have to take care of business against Chris Weidman at UFC 162 before a dream match up between his two most dominant, and talented, champions can even be considered.
That's not all .... enjoy the full 43-minute clip up above and share your thoughts on White's various, wide-ranging comments below.
