Dana, We Aren't Buying It

Towards the end of the recent UFC press conference, a frustrated Dana White uttered the following:

"Fedor sucks. He's not even a top 5 heavyweight."

Sounds strange to hear, but o.k., but let's look at the following:

• The UFC desperately trying to sign Emelianenko for the past six months. On multiple occasions, White claimed the Pride heavyweight champion was well on his way.
  
• Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera likely being put in a spot to fight for the vacant UFC heavyweight title on February 2, 2008. Noguiera and Emelianenko fought three times. Nogueira victories? Zero.
  
• White attempting to sign Emelianenko to a multi-fight contract - especially when he was offered the largest deal in UFC history.
  
• The UFC breaking the bank to sign Mirko Cro Cop. Emelianenko 1 Cro Cop 0.
  
• Heath Herring's contract being picked up from the WFA. Emelianenko thoroughly dominated Herring in their only encounter.

The list could go on.
