    re: The Ortiz link. What a surprise, Dana White is publicly trashing another fighter! I’m surprised he’s been relatively reserved about Couture, although he’s probably just waiting for that lawsuit to be over. Funny stuff.

  2. Larry Vollmer

    I think once he knows 100% that Randy vs Fedor won’t be happening in the UFC, the trashing will begin.
