“Dan Henderson is fighting [expletive] Jake Shields,” White said to MMAjunkie.com . “Come on. Are you serious? Jake Shields is 170 pounds, and he’s their (185-pound) champion.”
“And I just found out today that they’re running commercials on [CBS], and the commercials are like three seconds, and it basically says, ‘MMA legend Dan Henderson,’ and he hits a heavy bag, I guess, and looks back at the camera. That’s the [expletive] commercial. How about, ‘Jake Shields is our [expletive] champion’?”
“Jake Shields is on the last fight of his contract, so they’re feeding him to Dan Henderson right now because they want to get rid of him because he’s going to go away, or they’re going to have to pay him some big money to stick around or whatever the deal is,” White said. “‘We’re paying more money to Dan Henderson than we can afford already, so let’s get Jake’s ass kicked by Dan Henderson and get rid of Jake Shields.’
“It’s such [expletive] bush-league [expletive], and you guys know it. They’re a [expletive] joke. Showtime’s always been a joke with all their sports programming, and this is no different.”
“If Jake Shields could pull that off, that would be incredible, and good for him. “He’s going to get paid because what’s going to happen is we would love to take him from there, and I’m sure they’d love him to stick around.”
“I will help drive that [expletive] number right up through the roof and let the Showtime boys pay him a lot of money so that Jake can stick it right up their ass. ‘I just choked out Dan Henderson, and now you [expletives] are going to pay me for trying to stick it up my ass. I’m going to stick it up yours.'”
“The fight makes no sense. “You’re going to fight Dan Henderson at 185 (pounds) when you’re really the 170-pound champion? That’s how [expletive] up that company is, and they’re our competitor.”
