With another UFC event taking place in England this weekend, Dana White was hard at it talking to the British press. The Sun and Fighters Only Magazine both had an opportunity to talk to the UFC President and got him to open up on few of the hot topics in MMA.
White confirmed to Fighters Only that Michael Bisping will coach the UK TUF 9 team regardless of what happens in the Leben fight.

Cyborg Soldier starring Rich Franklin. Some of our favorite and most popular mixed martial artists are starring in some of the worst movies that are down right painful to watch.
Here’s to hoping GSP’s new partnership with CAA helps pave the way for fighters/aspiring actors to land roles in movies we can actually sit through.
With this morning’s news that Dan Henderson would headline UFC 93 in Dublin, Ireland with Rich Franklin, immediate questions were raised about what that meant for his rumored TUF 9 coaching bid. Well, according to The Sun, Hendo is still the UFC’s top choice to coach the US team.
The former Pride FC champion will face Rich Franklin at UFC 93 in Dublin on January 17 after the UFC confirmed details of their first-ever show in the Irish Republic.
That was quick. Often times, it’s weeks or even months before the UFC makes an official announcement regarding news that breaks early across the net. Like Randy Couture’s return to the Ocatagon, however, that’s not the case with reports from yesterday that suggested the UFC would be heading to Dublin, Ireland on Jan. 17 to hold UFC 93. The UFC made it official on UFC.com earlier this morning.

According to a report Yahoo! EuroSport, the UFC is headed to the O2 Arena in Dublin, Ireland on Jan. 17 to hold UFC 93. The Super Bowl weekend event which is believed to be headlined by the GSP vs. BJ Penn II mega fight would become UFC 94.
It appears they already have a few names in mind for the trip to Ireland.

Why? Because it’s “a game to the death!” That whole cyborg soldier theme is so played out.
The GAEC has released the fighter payouts for UFC 88 “Breakthrough.” Keep in mind, these figures represent the base contracted pay the fighter receives from the promotion. These figures do not include any additional “locker room” bonuses or sponsorship money, which in many cases exceeds a fighter’s base pay. These numbers also do not account for taxes, insurance, and license fees.
