Dana White Talks Dominick Cruz, Referee Stoppages, Faber vs. Bowles

The Dominator was as dominant as ever but what really impresses me is that he fought with a broken hand for 5 rounds and that is what you call SICK.

UFC: Matt Hume Talks ONE FC, UFC In Japan and Demetrious Johnson

The Wizard talks about MMA in Asia

He believes that Singapore, South Korea, Philippines and Hong Kong has a huge potential for MMA

Besides that, he talks on the upcoming fight for his fighter Demetrious Johnson against Dominick Cruz for the UFC bantamweight title




In my opinion style wise, the fight going to be awesome

Speed vs Speed

Cardio vs Cardio

I believe the fight is going to a decision because if you see the last few fights the two fighters fought have all been to the decision

Neither have knockout power or have yet to show it in a fight but both have speed and a lot of heart.

So i'm expecting a war between the two.

UFC live on Versus: Cruz vs Johnson

UFC live on Versus on the 1st of October will feature a title bout between the UFC 135lbs bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz against Demetrious Johnson. The event would be held in the Verizon Center, Washington D.C.

After defending his UFC Bantamweight title against Urijah Faber in UFC 132 with a unanimous decision victory, Dominick 'The Dominator" Cruz look to defend his title once again against Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson in a 5 round war. Johnson is on a four Fight winning streak dating from September 2010 when he defeated Nick Pace to a unanimous decision.

The Champ on the other hand has not lost since march of 2007 when he first lost to Urijah Faber for the WEC featherweight title. Since then he has been on a tear, winning 9 straight fights in a row. The list of fighters he has defeated during the 9 fights win streak are some of the best bantamweight fighters in the world. The list includes Joseph Benavidez (Twice), Brian Bowles, Scott Jorgensen, Ian McCall, and Urijah Faber just to name a few.

The Co-Main event will be a heavyweight bout pitting the tallest fighter in the UFC Stefan Struve vs Pat Barry. Barry is one of the smaller heavyweight fighters but this fight is nevertheless exciting. Both are known to be strikers with Barry having a slight advantage in the stand up while Struve has a reach and jiu jitsu advantage. This is a freak show where anything goes.
