(mmajunkie.com)
As he watched a group of 50 women try out for the "The Ultimate Fighter 18," UFC President Dana White admitted he was impressed with the talent level of the fighters.

When we brought in the 155-pound division, everybody was like, 'This is crazy. They're too small. Nobody will ever watch.'
