Dana White Talks Michael Bisping and Rashad Evans

In an interview at UFC on Versus 3:

“Michael Bisping is in trouble right now. Michael Bisping is a guy who I liked and have had a good relationship with since the Ultimate Fighter. I’m very disappointed in the way that he conducted himself during that fight. I think the knee was intentional. I think he did do it on purpose. I think he saw (Jorge Rivera) in that position, he looked at him and threw the knee and obviously I don’t like what he did after the fighter either. Mike and I still need to talk and I’ll figure out what’s next for Michael Bisping.”

“How good of friends are Jon Jones and Rashad Evans? They just met a few months ago. I’ve known people for 10 years that aren’t my great friends. In this business you can be friends with somebody and like a guy and still fight him. Image if the Packers didn’t want to play the Steelers because they have got some friends on that team. It’s not how sports work. This is a sport, these guys train to become the best and you have to fight anybody any day. What Rashad has done by saying he’s his friend and this guy’s his friend, he’s really boxing himself into a corner where he has no fights. These guys just met each other, tops a year ago, and got to know each other over the last year. I highly doubt they are that good a friend.”
