Ariel Helwani caught up with UFC president Dana White for an extended interview following UFC On Fuel Wednesday night, discussing a slew of topics related to the card itself, Nick Diaz's situation and the political issues around it and his thoughts on a former UFC champion trying to get back in the Octagon.

Here are some of the topics covered in the 11-minute clip, one of the better ones Helwani and White have done in recent events:

• The future of both Jake Ellenberger and Diego Sanchez
  
• Whether five round fights on Fuel will now be mandatory
• What he would do if he was Carlos Condit
• His thoughts on the Omaha, Nebraska, crowd
• Dave Herman's week and what drove him nuts about his entrance song
• Aaron Simpson, Ronny Markes and not being "the blur"
• A rant against the Nevada State Athletic Commission and "being consistent about being inconsistent"
• What White has said to Diaz about marijuana use
• UFC Japan and if there will be any nod toward PRIDE on that show
• His thoughts on Tim Sylvia
