Rua vs. Evans on target for March

“When you’re in this business, and you have these guys talking to the media … believe it or not, you guys take things out of context sometimes, and stuff happens,” White said.
White did admit he’s had some past tension with Evans, but he believes everything is fine for the time being.
“Me and Rashad fight sometimes,” White said. “We get into arguments, and I do with all the guys. Nothing is ever 100 percent. ‘Hey, this is great. We’re all the best.’
“Sometimes you’re going to have different opinions and disagree on things, and we’re going to go out and say things publicly, but we try to patch them up behind the scenes.”
White believes a yet-to-be-announced March card in the United Arab Emirates (expected to serve as UFC 128) is the most likely date for the fight. Ultimately, the date will depend on the status of Rua’s knee, which he had surgically repaired this past June. Rua’s knees have proven troublesome for the past few years of his career, but White believes the issue may now finally be resolved.
