Dana White On Negotiations With Vince McMahon, Ronda Rousey, Anderson Silva Not Getting Title Shot

Dana White took part in a media scrum after last night's post-The Ultimate Fighter Finale press conference. Below are some highlights:

* When asked why Anderson Silva is fighting Daniel Cormier in a three-round bout instead of for the title, White said that he presented that option to Silva, but Silva declined. Silva told White that if he beats Cormier, he'll show that he's the true champion anyway. White added that dealing with Silva is like dealing with an artist.

* White was asked about negotiations to get Lesnar to fight Mark Hunt tonight. White noted that it was Lesnar's team, Vince McMahon and Triple H. White noted that "it went great," despite having his ups and downs with Vince in the past.

"Vince is a tough character to deal with. He's an animal! It's one of the things I respect about him. I think he's loosening up a little bit on the UFC."

* White talked about WWE promoting UFC 200, and he said that he'll reciprocate. White said that "this day couldn't have worked out any better."

* White said that Georges St-Pierre will be at UFC 200, but Ronda Rousey will not. White once again said that GSP will not fight again. He said that even though GSP has said that he wants to fight, White truly believes that GSP will never fight again.

* White also said that he thinks the buy rate for UFC 200 will beat the 1.5 million buys generated for UFC 100.
