UFC 165 RESULTS & POST PRESS CONFERENCE
By: Miguel Sanchez, RCM MMA Correspondent
-
Noticeably both Jones and Gustafsson were not in attendance. Both were at a local hospital following the intense back and forth 5 round battle.
-
Dana was asked numerous times if a rematch is in the works, per Dana he needs to wait for both Jones and Gustafsson to recoup then make a decision.
-
Dana was very impressed by the takedown defense of the challenger.
-
Eddie Wineland was asked what he felt about the stoppage against Barao. He thought it was stopped prematurely.
-
Dana was asked what was next for Barao. He would like to see him and Dominick Cruz, however it depends on if Cruz is %100. If not they have to see what they do as far as the Interim title.
-
It was asked if Cruz Vs Barao for Superbowl, but again depends on Cruz and his condition.
-
After Brendan Schaub’s submission win, Dana was quiet but seemed to have a fight in works for him already. No confirmation was made.
-
Dana stated that Gustafsson’s stock has risen, many didn’t know who he was coming into the fight but they know him now.
-
Dana was asked if Barao if the UFC’s Floyd Mayweather, while not saying that he was, Dana did praise the champion for being undefeated for 8 years. He doesn’t get the respect he deserves as a champion.
-
Dana was so into the fight he stopped keeping score. He said the crowd was on their feet from start to finish.
-
It was pointed out that Jon Jones told the cage side doctor not to stop the fight.
-
Dana was not aware that Greg Jackson was not cornering Jon Jones. Apparently, he was not selected to be one of the three corner men.
-
Dana closed up the conference by confirming a UFC press tour for Silva Vs Weidman II. It starts in Los Angeles California on Monday September 23, 2013.
