For you party animals still deciding where the debauchery for the biggest pigskin weekend of the year should go down, UFC president Dana White has a special message for you.
“UFC fans expect big things from us every year for our Super Bowl weekend show, and this year could be our biggest ever,” White said. “Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort is a fight fan’s dream match. It’s a fight people have wanted for years. Don’t blink because both of these guys have dynamite in their hands and can end the night quickly and in very exciting fashion.
“Plus, I can’t wait to see Forrest Griffin and Rich Franklin mix it up; they’re two former champions that are known for being in the middle of instant classics. And then we have the next wave of stars in the Jon Jones vs. Ryan Bader fight. Both of these guys are the future of our sport and possess unlimited talent. It’s impossible to pick a winner here.”
