    In regards to a question about booking Gina Carano vs Cris Cyborg, here’s what the Dana White had to say

    “I wouldn’t be opposed to it. And if I did do it, I’d probably do it in the WEC.”

    Interesting devlpoment, hope there is some follow through here. With the UFC now the only game in town, WEC is the best hope for womens MMA in the states

    Dana must be sick of Dave Meltzer nagging him. :D

    I think this would be a great low risk / high return deal for Zuffa.

    In an important nugget buried in the latest episode of MMA Live, Dana White confirmed to Jon Anik that he would be interested in promoting Gina Carano vs. Cyborg Santos. His answer represents a major change in UFC policy:

    I wouldn't be opposed to it...and if I did do it, it would probably be in the WEC.

    The other night in an interview for Wrestling Observer Radio, Gina Carano made it very clear that it is her dream to compete in a big fight in Las Vegas for the UFC. Dana White has gone from completely opposing the entire concept of women's MMA to considering promoting this fight for the WEC. The position is clearly changing in rapid fashion, and if fans keep pressing women can finally get their chance to shine in the UFC.

    This would be great. They could promote it well and maybe include a rule change of 3, 5 minute rounds for the women.
