UFC's Dana White becomes Brandon "Bam Bam" Rios new fan.

Rios put on a hell of a performance. And brought some great attention to the sport. Cant wait for his next fight.

Dont be fooled by Dana White...he always seems to come around for the high times in boxing, or when it hits it's low point...he's only using boxing current events to push his business.

He's a businessman, so I wont knock him, but dont be fooled by his false appreciation for what's going on in the sport.

He does it all the time, and some boxers do the same thing when they speak of MMA, whether it's good or bad.

I remember him doing using Floyd's "racist" remarks about Lin and calling him and idiot, scary, and so forth. He did all of that to push that upcoming UFC card that weekend, I believe it was in Japan.

Hopkins made several remarks about MMA and how he considered it "gay ****". Floyd has made comments about the MMA stealing boxing's blueprint.

Arum and Schafer have made comments about MMA, and Dana has done the same in regards to boxing.

I said all of this to say, no matter how good the compliments are, from either side, there's always something behind it.

Danna is not exactly a new fan, he has said many times that he has been a boxing fan for a long time
