  1. Jason Sipes says:

    Mr.Dana White,when will we see Kimbo Slice face Forrest Griffin. We all know they both like to stand up and bang and this would be a great Main Card Pay Per View or Spike TV Main Card fight. Also put Anderson Silva vs Rashad Evan or Rampage Jackson many people think that fight with Griffin was staged.
