UFC president Dana White addressed some of the issues of UFC 46 on MMAWeekly Radio yesterday. The UFC President showed up in the livefighter chat answering questions from the fans.
Ryan Bennett called White yesterday as he answered some questions and commented on some future plans of the UFC. Zuffa had every intention on showing the prelim match up of Hermes Franca and Josh Thomson on the Pay Per View broadcast but a production mistake kept that from happening. White said the match was supposed to be shown, but the production truck misunderstood what fights they were supposed to show. Another production mistake was the reading of the celebrity list. This was supposed to be for the in house crowd only and not the television viewers.
Dana would like to get BJ Penn to fight at UFC 48 in June but hasn't talked with Penn since BJ defeated Matt Hughes. A rematch of Vitor Belfort and Randy Couture is being planned for the same event in June with the winners of it and the Tito Ortiz vs Chuck Liddell fight, facing off in September. Ken Shamrock will be on the 48 card as well. White confirmed that UFC 48 will be held in Las Vegas making it the third UFC show in a row there.
