The UFC 103 press conference was held today in Dallas, preceding this weekend's event headlined by Rich Franklin and Vitor Belfort. The conference was brief with Franklin, Belfort, and Junior Dos Santos saying a couple things about their fight.
Santos' opponent, Mirko Cro Cop, was not present though which President Dana White touched on.
"Cro cop holds the second-best record for wins in pride, and he also holds the best record for most press conferences missed," White said.
He also discussed boxing going head to head with UFC 103, and in an uncharacteristically relaxed demeanor said,
"I don't think us going against boxing is a good thing [for the fans]..." but regardless of the outcome this week on who sells more pay-per-views White said (speaking about the bad economy), "boxing is in trouble. The show we just did in Oklahoma had 75,000 people on a Wednesday night, and people came early at 3 p.m... You can combine WWE and boxing this year, and we beat them both."
Someone in the media asked him what he thought about Quentin Jackson doing the A-team movie and if the fight with Rashad would still take place at a later date.
"When the movie star's done doing his movie we'll find out when that fights happening... " he said criticizing Jackson. "He [Rich Franklin] did a movie when he wasn't fighting, like Randy Couture did."
"The crazy thing about Rampage is he's giving away a lot of money to do the A-Team. You can't fix stupid."
Speaking about Franklin fighting Belfort and how they both seem to be stuck in between fighting at middleweight and light heavyweight, White was asked on his thought about adding a weight class (possibly 195 pounds). He said he was not at all interested and did not want to make the same mistake as boxing did by having too many classes.
Belfort spoke about his fight and said that he likes Franklin and the fight "is going to be a classic"
