Dana White denies apologizing to Georges St-Pierre

The UFC president says he never apologized for his UFC 167 post-fight remarks about UFC Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre.

USA TODAY Sports

Dana White has made it very clear that, despite the claims of GSP's coach and mentor Krostof Midoux in the French-language media, he never apologized to Georges St-Pierre for his post-fight comments after UFC 167.

Midoux had also claimed that White told GSP that he felt the champ deserved the win after watching the fight a second time.

Here's what Dana had to say to John Morgan:

"I had heard that, but no, that's not true. I have not watched the fight yet. I still haven't watched the fight. This (Midoux) guy's like one of the new Kardashian sisters. This guy pops up out of nowhere, and now he's everywhere," White said.

"Realistically, I'm not forcing Georges to do anything, but Georges has to defend his title. He was off for over a year already with ACL surgery. So if people have problems with it, I could [not] give a s-- if they like it or don't. I don't care what peoples' opinions of that are."

Well thanks for clearing that up boss.
