UFC President Dana White announced the news during an impassioned speech at a pre-event press conference for UFC 157, which takes place Saturday at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

“We always try to do the right thing,” White said. “I have three fights left with Cain Velasquez. We just signed a new eight-fight deal with Cain. I didn’t have to do that.
