UFC 133 Results: Dana White Impressed With Evans, Disgusted With Hallman's Shorts

Stay connected for news and updates

Dana White has an excellent interview with Karyn Bryant of MMA Heat, where he talked about a myriad of topics during the UFC 133 post-fight presser. Here are a few of the most interesting highlights:

- On Rashad Evans' performance. "Jon Jones tweeted 'Same old, same old' - I don't know what he was seeing. Same old, same old would be if Rashad came in, double leg, lay on the guy for three rounds, and won a decision. That was far from the 'same old, same old'. I'm a huge believer of ring-rust, but that might have blew my whole theory on ring-rust."

- On Dennis Hallman's trunks: "It was disgusting. I'm pissed off that someone that works for me let him come out with those... It will never happen again. I seriously gave Ebersole the $70,000 bonus. I gave him that bonus for getting that off television as soon as possible."

- On Yoshihiro Akiyama and the possibility of getting cut: "Lorenzo (Fertitta) and I have been terrorizing him to go to 170. He can make 170... I just have so much respect for the guy. He's my Japanese Arturo Gatti. I respect him as a person and as a fighter. We'll see what happens."

- On Vitor Belfort a possible title shot: "It would be tough to do that... The way that fight ended (against Anderson Silva) Vitor Belfort still has some work to do.

- On Chad Mendes deserving a title shot - "I agree. We'll see how it happens with his hand, and we'll go from there"

- Rashad Evans "definitely gets the winner of (Jones vs. Rampage)"
