Dana White interviewed by tkoxtreme.com

A short interview with UFC's Dana White. Interesting quote:

Question: Who are the stars of your sport and specifically, how do you address criticism that says Dana White puts himself before the fighters? That you in fact are the face of your company and not Chuck Liddell or Georges St. Pierre?
Dana White: Let me tell you what, if you were with me and Chuck Liddell and we were walking down Times Square, people don’t even look at me and Chuck Liddell would get mobbed. Listen, I am the face of the company. I am the guy who is out there promoting and doing the TV deals and everything else. If people know who I am is that my fault? I don’t think I’m putting myself in front of the fighters at all.
Oh, yeah, he also says that Fedor ranked #5 in the Heavyweight division. I guess it's after Randy Couture (can't be sure any more, though), Fertittas and of course Dana White himself. :)
