*Has been talking about wanting to hit all the major cities like Boston, New York City, etc. for a while. Says the reason they haven't been in NYC yet is because they haven't really tried. Claims the company is looking to do a show in Madison Square Garden next year.*
*Says people who consider the UFC 78 card lame aren't real fight fans. Then proceeds to put over some of the bigger and exciting fights scheduled for the show.*

I definitely agree with him on the 78 card being a great card. But I disagree with the winner of the "main event" being top 5 in the 205lb weight class. They might be on paper, due to an undefeated record, but they couldn't hang with Rampage, Henderson, Silva, Liddell, or Griffin for that matter.

Is it me or did whitey just dodge the fighter earnings queastion again?? I surely hope he is meaning that the winner of evans/bisping is in top 5 contention for the UFC lightheavy belt, but not top 5 ranking in the world. I'd give Evans top 15 maybe,I like him as a fighter and can see good things develop for him as his confidence grows.

I could understand how he could argue that perhaps Fedor is not currently one of the top fighters in the world, but the fact is that he beat Nog twice. And now Nog is supposedly the #1 contender in the HW division. Is it just me, or is anyone else confused? 
I just wish one of the interviewers had thought to ask him about that. Oh well. Im about tired of hearing Dana talk about Fedor to be honest. Ok people, we didnt get him. Lets move on.

While sirius is great for getting the big names for interviews better than anyone they lack a person with top knowledge of the sport. Lou and Scott and even Brent and Spice all seem to know what is going on now ( and even admit they are new to the sport). But I don't know that they even knew Fedor has beat nog.

I think he's just trying to bait Fedor. He knows he's a great fighter, but he's right, the real competition is in the UFC, however, I don't blame Fedor if he got a better deal w/M1 (plus he won't have to travel much).
I think the 78 card is GREAT. I don't know if it's just because I love the sport so much but I see some really good matchups and wouldn't miss it for the world. But that's my opinion.
The event w/ Chuck/Wandy, Serra/Hughes, Sokoudjou,etc, is going to be absolutely awesome. It's like I'm a little kid again and Christmas is coming (which the actual Christmas is really coming, but now it's more of a hastle, and I usually dread it's imminent coming).
