Dana White has always been vocal of how he feels about Fedor's career and where he feels he should be ranked amongst MMA's other top tier fighters. Going against the overwhelming consensus of people and fans who think that he is the overall best pound for pound fighter in the world. White has always been vocal on everything and anything in MMA that is no secret. Now in a interview with Yahoo!Sports, White actually threw Fedor another compliment. While still insulting Tim Sylvia his former Heavyweight Champion.
"He’s not the best pound-for-pound fighter, not even close, but he’s one of the four or five best heavyweights. But we all have to thank him for getting rid of Tim Sylvia. He’d been stinking out the joint the last couple of years and Fedor did everyone a favor by beating him so easily and getting rid of him.”
Can this be a sign that White will actually begin to compliment the Russian Sambo machine a lot more in interviews? Hum,uh? Probably not, but its interesting to actually see White is complimenting Fedor and his skill. Even though he used it to bash another fighter, but hey we will take what we can get.
