MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani caught up with UFC president Dana White after UFC 144 and got his opinion on how he scored Frankie Edgar vs. Ben Henderson, Edgar moving down a weight class, his frustration with "Rampage" and lots more.
He also did a four-minute interview for Fuel TV covering many of the same subjects.
Here's some highlights:
- He said he scored the main event for Edgar three rounds to two with him winning the final round.
- He clarified that he didn't give Edgar his win bonus even though he said he did at the post-fight press conference. He did give Takeya Mizugaki his, however.
- He explained how the UFC picked the judges that came to the event and his influence over them.
- How he wants Edgar to move down to 145 and why he thinks he's hesitant to do that.
- His approach to Anthony Pettis vs. Henderson II or whether Edgar will get a rematch.
- He said he's disappointed in Quinton Jackson and has been since he filmed The A-Team movie. He didn't know anything about the weight issues until he got to Japan.
- How he respects Mark Hunt for wanting to fight in the UFC instead of taking a buyout of his Pride deal and just walking away.
- He discusses the Japanese crowd and how he was happy with how they reacted.
