They need to do their homework...

Dana White made an appearance (via MMAjunkie) on Sports Illustrated's "SI Now" after the news outlet moderated a panel this last week about the possibility of fight-fixing at UFC 162. Check out the highlights:

On SI having him on the show: "I honestly thought you guys were calling to apologize because you were embarrassed at how ridiculous your show was. Now as I sit here and talk to you, you're even more ridiculous, and I'll bet you this whole interview doesn't see the light of day. If your producer's smart, he'll take this tape out and throw it right in the garbage so the world can't hear what I'm saying to you right now."

On the panel's lack of qualifications to be making assertions of fight fixing: "If you don't know anything about what you're talking about, you probably shouldn't talk about it. That sounds like a really good idea. That's why you've been getting smashed by fans and why I smashed you yesterday at ESPN. Because if you're going to talk about something, you might want to do your homework and know what you're talking about, or at least you might want to have at least seen the fight so somebody on that panel would have had half a brain to say, 'You know what, I saw the fight. The guy was viciously knocked out. How could that be fixed?' The conclusion of your roundtable should be that you guys should do your homework and understand exactly what it is you're talking about. And if nobody watched the fight that day, you should at least know the sport is regulated. At least know some general things about the sport. At least do your homework."
