Dana White clarifies UFC middleweight title picture: “Never once did I say we’re going to do this f*cking rematch”

Dana White Clears The Air On UFC Middleweight Title Hunt

Following Dana White’s Contender Series week six of season seven, the UFC CEO made it clear that there are plenty of routes the UFC can take for Strickland’s first title challenger. He also took a dig at websites that used his comments as a report claiming that the rematch is set (via MMAJunkie).

“If you remember that night, people said, ‘Well, what do you think? You think there’s a rematch?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, the rematch sounds great,’” White told reporters inside the UFC Apex. “I saw the stupid f*cking sh*t that was written by all these stupid f*cking websites.

“Never once did I say, ‘Yes, we’re going to f*cking do this rematch.’ I said, ‘Yeah, rematch sounds – you know, we’ll see what happens.’ There’s obviously lots of options out there, and we’ll see what happens. But, yes, I’m still not opposed to an Israel rematch. We’ll see how it goes.”
