“The people were booing at the beginning of that fight. None of us like the up-against-the-fence bulls—. But those dudes were working.

I liked that fight, and I liked that fight going into this fight.”

UFC President, Dana White, impressed with the Strikeforce crossover fighters continues on to say…

Now they’re in here and they know what it was like to be (over there). They’re hungry, man. I love it.

The Strikeforce kids, they’re going to raise the bar on all these other guys.”
