    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.

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