The following are key excerpts from Dana White at the UFC 116 post-fight press conference, including his thoughts on Josh Rosenthal, Chris Leben, Brock Lesnar and more.
- Holy Shit... This was one of the best nights ever in my UFC career. Everyone was pumped up for the main event but every fight was amazing. I bow down to all the fighters that put on this show. It was amazing.
- Herb Dean is the most amazing ref I know and I wish he would ref every fight, but Josh Rosenthal did a good job tonight. I am sorry for all the things I said about him.
- I have to elaborate on Chris Leben and give him thanks for taking the fight; he did a hell of a job and pulled off a great win over Akiyama.
- Brock Lesnar took some shots that 12 others guys couldn’t take, so he did an amazing job as well. Shane Carwin gave Lesnar the beating of his life in the first round. Brock stayed in there and came back in that second and pulled off a submission of all things.
- George [Sotiropolous] did a hell of a job tonight as well. He had a big win over Kurt who I have a lot of respect for as well. George is really getting close to a title fight. Australia is becoming a huge market for us and we will return soon, especially since we have a star from there as well.
