At special UFC 129 press conference and fan event at Toronto’s Rogers Centre, Dana White took to the arena floor, and fielded questions from the audience.

Q: Who do you think is pound for pound the best fighter in the word outside of the UFC

Dana White: Probably Nick Diaz … Nick is nasty, Nick’s a tough kid, and probably should be in the UFG, but he’s just too crazy, he does crazy stuff.

Q: Do you think Fedor is going to win this weekend?

DFW: To tell the truth (laughs) you guys are all going to smash me for this one … Who is he fighting?

A: Bigfoot, Antonio Silva

DFW: Oooo that’s a tough fight. Yah, Fedor should win, and win easily.

Q: When is Alistair Overeem coming to the UFC?

DFW: We’ll see what happens … I like Alistair Overeem … I hate to even give my opinion on him … First of all the guy has not done anything … He’s winning K-1 fights … I respect this guy … If I can get him in the UFC, I always want the best guys … I would do it.

Q: Would there ever be any possibility of making non title fights 5 rounds?

DFW: Yes, we could it, we are probably going to start doing that.

Q: Can you give us any new insignts on Chael Sonnen?

DFW: Chael actually goes for his hearing in the next few weeks. Once he gets all his personal problems taken care of we’ll figure out when he’ll fight again.
