From the reason his hands are so soft to whether or not he has had a threesome, UFC President Dana White answered UFC Fight Club member questions during a live online chat last night.
Yes, he divulged some breaking news thanks to the probing and well thought out questions of the “savvy” UFC fans who participated.
With such a rare opportunity, you’d think people would use it to get some solid information right from the source.
Oh well.
Fortunately, the conversation was not limited to knuckleheads — there was some goodness revealed.
I don’t have the $64.99 to squander on an Ultimate membership — let alone the $24.99 on the barebones package — but it didn’t matter. I just came across a thread on the Sherdog.com forums, which contained a good amount of the conversation.
Suckers.
Here are some of White’s comments:
On Wanderlei Silva:
I would love to have silva in the UFC, it’s always my goal to get the best fighters in the world to fight for us. hopefully we will see that fight [Liddell-Silva] in 2007.
On buying PRIDE FC:
Obviously we are out there acquiring other MMA companies right now and if Pride is for sale, I’m interested.
On the competition:
Pride is our only real competitor.
On the next UFC U.S. military event:
We are talking right now about doing a live fight on an aircraft carrier.
On the future of the UFC:
Diego Sanchez, Michael Bisping, Rashad Evans.
On ESPN coverage:
It is coming.
On Forrest Griffin fighting next:
We are shooting for April.
For the record, White claims to have never had a threesome and his hands are soft because of soap and water.
I can sleep better now knowing that.
Definitely some interesting nuggets otherwise — the aircraft carrier show sounds pretty sick if it can get done.

Kick ass. Thanks for the info. And yeah, who has the cash to lay down on that membership?
Aircraft carrier, how more awesomer can it get? Oh I know, space shuttle event.
