DFW: Anderson is a pain in my ass, but the best

“Listen moron, I’m at dinner right now (hours after WEC 51). But you’re really pissing me off,” White said. “Anderson Silva is a pain in my ass. This isn’t Chuck Liddell, we aren’t best friends. But you can’t deny what the man has done.”
I informed him that I understood that, and wasn’t slighting Silva. Yet the “Spider” hadn’t been very “Spider-y” as of late, and Aldo has done nothing but destroy everything in his wake.
To my utter shock, White didn’t concede and wish me a happy day.
“He (Silva) HASNT LOST in the UFC! The guy has not only cleared out his division, he’s gone up to 205 (from 185) and beaten a guy like Forrest Griffin (former 205 champ), who beat Rampage Jackson AND (current champ) Shogun Rua,” countered White.
Point made about Silva. I disagree, but absolutely concede that there’s an argument. Perhaps a debate I would be in a clear minority on. Sensing blood, the UFC President pressed in for the kill.
“And Frankie Edgar is right there too. I might actually put him at No. 2. This guy is for real. He beat BJ Penn twice, and kicked his ass in their last fight. I love and respect Manny Gamburyan, but he’s no BJ Penn. And the only thing keeping GSP (170 pound champ Georges St. Pierre) out of the top 3 is (a KO loss) to Matt Serra.”
