"I know how the clip got out there. Every time you do those transmissions, those transmissions out there, they go to tons of media and they're jumping from station to station. Somebody was on there actually filming when they were talking. You think that's bad? You should see the other stuff we have that they were saying to each other that people didn't get. It was pretty nasty."
-UFC President Dana White commented this weekend after UFC Fight Night 47 on the leaked verbal exchange between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier (transcribed by MMAJunkie.com).
Penick's Analysis: The exchange that leaked was edited as it was, so the idea that there was some even worse comments said isn't surprising in the least. The UFC is going to have to hope that interest can be rekindled come January, but that shouldn't be an issue. It might not be quite as hot as it would have been in September, but then again, it might just pick up where it left off as the year comes to a close.
